Cool Browser Firefox 3.0


It has finally been released following its beta testing - cool Mozilla Firefox 3.0 is here.... sorry there are visuals from me yet -I need to work out how to upgrade the Asus 900 to 3.0!!! But believe me when I say that Firefox 3.0 will not disappoint. Among the host of apps which integrate is PicLens v1.7 from CoolIris ( thanks to Dave Clancy from IB Cardiff for showing us this)
It really is the coolest way to search and view video and images on line -this is how the web should be web 3.0 is getting closer. Other features of Firefox 3.0 can be found here. As ever open source development shows the big companies the way......well done Mozilla I for one hope you make it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the total number of downloads in the first 24 hours of release.
The OLPC guys celebrate Firefox 3.0's release.

Mini Dylan is quite a star (Tiny Ted will be getting jealous!!! wherever he is!) - one of his cousins + Cuddly Kiwi is travelling with me next weekend..... I was really impressed with the OLPC particularly its frugal battery use and its ability to find and share activities with other OLPC's that are within its range.
These mini notebooks are the future I think,their portability and price will make them a force to be reckoned with.....+ no MS XP or Vista if you don't want them

It seems very apt to be writing this blog post in tribute to a dear, dear friend. The world has lost a true global educational  IT innovator...
