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.

Firefox 3
This browser might make a lot of Windows users happy but it's not going anywhere in the Linux world until the fsync/SQLite bug is fixed. After several freezes I had to downgrade to Firefox 2. My extensions are working again including one that provides most of the functionality of the "awesome" bar.
A bugfix is promised for the next release of Firefox. I look forward to it. Until then, downgrade or enjoy your system freezes!
Also consider Flock. Flock integrates well with many social networking sites. It is built on the same "gecko" as Firefox and most extensions will work.
re: FF3
It will only make me happy if it fixes the damn memory leak.
That and the lag between FF updates and Add-on updates drive me crazy (and yes, it IS a short drive).
