Firefox 3.0 Released

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Firefox 3.0Version 3.0 of the alternate browser Firefox as moved to full release status. I have long been a proponent of this browser, and so far 3.0 is a worthy upgrade. They said it’s faster; it is, they said it’s cleaner; it is, and they said add-ons will work with it; they do for the most part. I only had incompatibility with about 5% of the add-ons I had installed in Firefox 2. To be honest I only used one of the few that where incompatible currently.

To download go to getfirefox.com, if it is availible. With the rush to download it the servers have had a hard time keeping up. Here is a direct link to the ‘Firefox Setup 3.0.exe‘ file on the mozilla servers as an alternative.

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Buy now almost every PC ships with a CD, DVD or Combination burner that allows you to save files to a CD or DVD. However the software that comes included with most PCs does not allow you to burn ISO images without upgrading. ISO images are complete copies of a CD or DVD in a single file format. Some software packeages are distributed in this manner and require that you burn the ISO image to use it.

BurnCDCC is freeware that allows you to easily burn ISO images to CD and DVD. It’s a self contained EXE file that does not even need to be installed on your computer. It can run from a thumb drive or network location. All the software needs is access to the hardware to burn the CD.
