Yesterday was Firefox 3’s download day, yes millions of people downloaded the new Firefox on Mozilla’s website, they actually broke a record for the most downloads in one day, they had 5-7million downloads, with 9,000 downloads a minute, ya it’s incredible.
To download this apparent monster, go to: getfirefox.com
However, the new Firefox has many new features it is still not as fast as Apple’s Safari, or the Opera browser. But it does look pretty =]
The title is true! The good people at Soya Software have answered our prayers! StumbleUpon is available for the Safari browser. You can stumble 100 times and then you need to register to continue, it’s a measly $4 so no biggie. Hurry, download it, you will be eternally greatful.
Isn’t is amazing, everything always happens with the internet, if you wish it, it is probably true, or will be =]
Their are so many good applications out their, for so many uses. Thankfully you dont need to stay up all night looking for the best ones. the good people at Zaphu.com have condensed them all into a neat webpage.
Not good enough? Try Rangit.com or MacApper.com,
All these sites have so many cool apps, Im using a lot of them actually, go and check them out, you just might find something amazing.
According to a website called iPower:
Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP’s all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These ‘other’ sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet.
Which is actually very scary, this is both unconstitutional and against human rights. You would think that Freedom of Speech would not allow this, but apparently this is all legal. Shockingly true visit iPower for an interesting video and how you can help stop this non sense.
Do something or your next Internet sign-up might look like this:
This thing they call StumbleUpon is actually a really cool way of finding new websites. It’s an easy to use button that goes on your web browser to view new sites about topics you choose. The only downside is that is not available for Safari yet 
which is really saddening, but it is available for FireFox Mac. If you are a devout fan of Safari [Like I am] there is hope, their is a website that allows you to use StumbleUpon on any browser. All you need to do is sign up and get your ID# and your password and presto! Start stumbling. If you haven’t already started to Stumble, then your missing out! Go to: stumbleupon.com
Are you counting the days to July 11th? Do you have an iPhone now and don’t know what to do with it? Are you wondering what the buying process is like?
Well good thing for you, CNET has made a F.A.Q.’s about all this jazz, yes all the information neatly written down for you to read. Quick go now! Visit: http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9717097-1.html?tag=bubbl_1
Apple has released a second version of Mac OS X 10.5.4 to developers today. The biggest new feature to be supported will be Apple’s recently announced MobileMe service. Apple also said that MobileMe and the update will be available in early July. Also, Apple’s system requirements indicate iTunes 7.7, so a update for iTunes is expected as well.
Yes it is true, will the iPhone sell in all countries for no more than $199 US, my speculation is that the iPhone will probably go for $149 Canadian because of our strong dollar. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to walk to my Fido/Rogers store to pick up my iPhone. The iPhone’s biggest selling point for me is the integrated GPS with Google Maps, which is a big plus. Also, I love the idea of geotagging the photos I take, like that I know where they were taken and I can upload them to a website that features geotagging and share them with my friends, which is fantastic. For example, lets say I’m going up north and take pictures of wildlife, I can check were I saw things and go back to that spot anytime I want. Ah Apple, what a great company…
Please stay tuned for more updates of the iPhone in Canada.
Update: The iPhone will sell for $199 Canadian and $299 for the 16GB model.
Another major feature, which I’m highly anticipating, is the App Store. The App Store, is Apple’s way of distributing developer content to the masses. The developer will have a 70/30 profit share, and they can set whatever price they wish, ranging from $0.99 to $999.99, or, of course, for free 
At the WWDC 2008, we saw many previews of what’s to come, such as games and services that are both free or for a price. This is something big, just look at the iTunes Store’s success, imagine the App Store, Apple is slowly taking over the markets, in some may or another. They took over the portable music player market and now the Smart phone market. Yes, their becoming dominators. And I can’t wait to see what will happen next.

A new version of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, due to release sometime next year. Will not, yes not, have any new features. “Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard…” states Apple “…builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality.” I think that this is just because they ran out of ideas. Well when you do have a perfect operating system, why change it. However, the new update will have Microsoft Exchange Support and will run in 64-bit. For more information visit: Apple.com
Exchange for the rest of us.
Apple announced MobileMe, a system like Microsoft’s Exchange, for the rest of us. This includes push email, contacts and more. Sync your Mac, PC and iPhone. MobileMe works with the applications, Microsoft Outlook on a PC. Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac. And Mail, Contacts and Calendar on the iPhone or iPod touch. MobileMe is going to replace the currnet .Mac and will be available as a free upgrade for current users. Visit Apple.ca for more information.
