| | Firefox can be up-graded as of Feb 23rd, 2007 to the newest release 2.0.0.2 which includes a few minor security fixes. Nothing Major for most Firefox users.
One of the Greatest things about Firefox is how simple the swap to a new version. Simply uninstall the old version and then install the new one. All of your old settings and Bookmarks and extensions/Add-ons are still in effect. You barely notice any change in the versions what-so-ever.
Everything you need to know (and more) is found >> HERE <<. Including the download link.
Have a good day playing with the Fox2... |

Although the firefox browser updates itself, which also is configured to update itself by default, it is always good to know that it had an update, i am always updating my software, especially software i use. Thanks for the news.

You don't even have to uninstall the old version... Firefox tells you that a new version is ready and if you want to update. It downloads the update and the next time you run Firefox it does the update. Very fast, no troubles or complications like with Internet Explorer (or with Windows... WGA really kills what fun was left in updating  ). I have read in a computer magazine that last year Internet Explorer users were in danger from all kinds of viruses, spyware, etc. over 250 days, while Mozilla Firefox users were in danger for only 60 days. The fact that Firefox is free really helps bug finding. While Internet Explorer and Microsoft relays on this own staff to find and report bugs, Firefox has a wide community of users which find, report and fix bugs very fast. I'm just sorry that Firefox 2 still doesn't support my language (only v1.5 does). And it's the ONLY language in the list ...

The latest releases of Ubuntu , Kubuntu , Xubuntu and Edubuntu came out this afternoon. This
is a long term support (LTS) release, so should also be adopted by companies needing the security of
longer support. What is most important to me about this release is that the Kubuntu release is the
first to include the latest KDE4 desktop environment, along with a CD offering the older KDE 3. KDE4
looks incredible and brings a lot of advantages over the last release of KDE, and should encourage
more people to switch to Kubuntu....

New Idea For Thieves: Leave The Paintings, Take The Security Equiptment!

The Galapagos Art Space had a break in and almost lost items valued at about $300,000. However
this theft was not what you would expect. It was not some famous painting, or a sculpture or
anything else most thieves would steal, it was the security equipment that was supposed to stop
them. The building was undergoing renovations to make it eco-friendly when the theives entered
through a hole under the door sometime after 6pm on Jan 15. The next morning workers found the

Paris Hilton Released On Health Issues

Wow this story does not make much sense to me. So first, the judge released her just 4 days after
she first entered the prison because of "health issues." Seriously? What health issues could Paris
Hilton possible have? I mean, don't you think it is kind of weird that these miraculous health
issues didn't keep her out of jail in the first place? And then the judge let her off on house
arrest. O my, what a horrible punishment. I have to stay in my multimillion dollar mansion for a
whole month. DARN poor me. THEN, the judge called her back to court and told her she ...

violate you, humiliate you, and generally treat you like livestock. According to the article
