Firefox 3: Why Bother to Upgrade?
I have been a Firefox user since it was considered Firebird. Yes, I despised using Internet Explorer that much. But despite Firebird eventually maturing into Firefox that we all know today, I can't believe that I have yet to find any indication that the Mozilla team is planning on improving the really lame handling of RSS feeds. Again, Flock is providing users with so much more and despite this, Firefox continues to remain with most of the same features it always has - why? I know. It's Google.
Google Has Taken Firefox and Made It Their Own. Anyone with eyes has learned a longtime ago that Mozilla and Google have a very close working relationship. And seeing Google options everywhere in Firefox should be a strong indication of this. So is it really a surprise that when a user goes to subscribe to a RSS feed in Firefox, among the options available is Google Reader. I will point out that the default option on a clean install of Firefox is Live Bookmarks. But as lame as it is, the only logical recourse is to just use the Google Reader as an alternative.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

nonsense.
i agree: firefox is bloated (if you "install 30 different add-ons")
i agree: firefox is sponsored by google (but then the author praises flock.. and flock is sponsored by? yahoo.)
quote: "Is the once famed browser headed into the same world of bug-fix release schedules as IE?"
dunno, but would that be really so bad? consider firefox as a strong (and stable?) base for other programs like flock, songbird and whatever (like the relation between debian and ubuntu..).
maybe is firefox bloated. and maybe it doesn't got that many super-awesome features. but the arguments that author gives really suck, hehheh.
that article is absolute nonsense.
