Firefox Certificate Computers | (0)
"From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3!" came the statement from Mozilla, making this the record download of software in 24 hours, and earning them a place in Guinness World Records. Mozilla's servers crashed on the day due to the very high demand, but they had them back up in a couple of hours, and I went ahead and got copies of Firefox 3.0 for both my Windows and Linux machines here, and they've run without a hitch since. In the time since Download Day, over 28 million people have ...

I work on one during the day, and I use it for chatting on various services outside of work time, and also watch video, and listen to music. The same goes for software, and online apps.

Internet Bypasses TV In The UK Computers | (2)
According to ZDNet, Internet advertising in the UK will overtake TV this year. I am not suprised really, it was almost bound to happen at some point. Take myself. I watch very little television, mostly because I am not interested in much of the content; secondly because on network television there are so many commercial breaks it spoils the few things I am interested in watching. I really don't want to see an ad for injury lawyers, or for a new drug every 6-7 minutes. Now, I appreciate that everything costs money, and advertising pays for those costs; after all, I have ...
