As Firefox supporters, we always argue that Firefox is a better and more secure browser over Internet Explorer. More secure in the sense of less security flaws, I suppose. Somehow this argument is not right based on statistical data provided by a security advisory service, Secunia, at least for this year, 2005.

Quoted:
The report in the UK-based IT trade publication states: “There have now been more flaws in the Firefox browser this year than in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.”

Secunia advisories affecting Mozilla Firefox 1.x on a month-by-month basis.

LoL …. Saw something really funny in Microsoft website. It amused me. :))

There is an article posted in the Help & Support Center of Microsoft website. It is posted long time ago and the last review was on March 14, 2002. The article is about “How to Remove Linux and Install Windows XP” !!

Quoted:
SUMMARY
This article explains how to remove the Linux operating system from your computer and install Windows XP. This article assumes that Linux is already installed on your computer’s hard disk, that Linux native and Linux swap partitions are in use (which are incompatible with Windows XP), and that there is no free space left on the hard disk.

After looking at it, some thoughts came into my mind. Who will actually uninstall a Linux then install a Microsoft Windows? Most of the Linux users will not turn back to Windows after switching, right? Besides, if one knows how to use Linux, it’s almost certain he/she knows how to uninstall it and install a less complicated OS, isn’t it? :D

Anyway, maybe the article might help someone who accidentally install Linux and wish to switch back to Windows.

HP plans to keep selling the music players until its current stock is depleted, which is expected to be around late September 2005.

Quoted:
“We have decided that selling the iPod does not fit within our current digital entertainment strategy,” HP consumer technology spokesman Ross Camp said.

However, Ross Camp declined to provide further explanation about the reasons for the contract cancellation. Besides, he denied this move will affect HP’s overall entertainment strategy as well. On the other hand, this contract cancellation will result a decline up to 5% of overall iPod sales according to data from Apple.

After we have seen Opera came out with their mobile version of Opera 8, which can be run on Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphones. Mozilla Foundation has released a technology preview of a mobile device browser, codenamed Mimimo ( Sounds like Minime? :D ) that uses the same code base as the popular desktop Firefox browser. For your information desktop based Firefox has surpassed 75 million downloads to date.

Quoted:
The Minimo (Mini Mozilla) project is focused on code-size and runtime footprint reduction, and porting to small consumer devices. We hope to make Minimo the browser of choice on small devices, or machines with limited system resources

Minimo 0.007 is for mobile devices running Windows CE and offers many of the features in Firefox, such as tabbed browsing, support for plug-ins and has an interface written in eXtensible User Interface Language (XUL), Chris Hofmann, director of engineering at Mozilla, said. By the way, XUL supports cascading style sheets (CSS), which is helpful in adapting web pages to the small screens of cellular phones and to reduce loading time; JavaScript and resource description language, (RDF), for storing dynamic content.
