Okay, so which is it? Is Firefox 3.5.3 thru 3.5.14 going to start protecting us by nagging each individual user to update their Adobe Flash installation? To a degree, yes, this is what Mozilla has in store for us as the next releases come about.
While the “nagging” is not actually built into Firefox specifically (or [...]

Now that Chrome, along with a number of other browsers are offering HTML5 technology, I find myself wondering about the future of Flash for video. Speaking for Chrome specifically, I see little advantage over Chrome from Firefox…but perhaps user needs vary here? So I choose not to speak for everyone.
At this stage in the game, [...]

Honestly never thought I would mutter these words, but from what I am seeing thus far from Office 2010, Microsoft has made a wise move. Releasing their own Google App competition to the Web in 2010, designed to be a free, light-weight option for those interested in using Microsoft Office without the price tag attached.
What [...]

As I was reminded from this recent article, Windows users remain in what seems like a constant battle to prevent their search preferences from being changed without permission. And this begs the question - who among the search engine players is trying to change your default search settings?
Clearly when using IE, you are at the [...]

The claim to fame is that Safari is currently faster than IE8 and the current release of Firefox. Interestingly, this release has zero mention of Chrome that I noticed, butI do believe the press release is accurate on showing off better speed on OS X than Firefox. As for it being “that” much faster than [...]

Will the ban on bundling IE8 with Windows 7 in the EU translate into massive numbers of frustrated users wondering how they are to surf the net? Does sound this way at first, until you dig a big deeper to discover that despite the EU’s chest pounding, browsers will be installed by default by the [...]

Speaking for myself, as a Linux user and with my wife being the Mac user, Chrome can kiss off. Seriously, we are still waiting for something not based on WINE and frankly, it feels like Firefox will have two versions released before Chrome even goes into beta.
Even more comically, Google has decided that we need [...]

Mozilla Labs has already wowed us once with Mozilla Weave. At its core, the idea is a simple one. Take your Firefox experience with you, regardless of the computer you happen to be using. Continue where you might have left off from previous sessions, sync bookmarks, etc.
In this recent Lifehacker post however, I have learned [...]

In all seriousness, the following soon to air on TV commercial is even more pointless that the winning video for the recent Linux Foundation commercials.

Does the iPhone really need Parental Controls? Well, I guess a better question is whether or not kids really need access to a high end phone like the iPhone? But if the kids must have them rather than simply owning an iPod Touch, then you bet there had better be parental controls!
Think of it this [...]

Seems like only yesterday Firefox first rolled out version 1.0. Ever since then, performance has in my opinion, taken a significant hit on both the OS X and Linux platforms, while remaining largely intact for Windows users. To point out how frustrating this has been, does not begin to express how I feel.
Thankfully there are [...]
