Mozilla released it’s latest Firefox 3.0 yesterday (the 17th) and they were looking to set a “new” Guinness World Record for download’s in a 24 hour period. Although we won’t know the full story for about a week it would look like they just may succeed. After a begining slowdown according to Mozilla they were able to attain a speed of around 9,000 downloads per minute putting them in the area of 5 to 7 million downloads in a day. I did my part and downloaded it to two computers. I think it is cool but I am personally still using Internet Explorer 7 and looking forward to IE 8 (coming soon to your desktop).
I have contended all along that communication is changing rapidly and I think that an article on Webware.Com regarding changes on the New York Times blog is an indication of what I have been alluding too. I think the idea that there is a special iPhone interface that will allow you to read your NY Times is great. I have often said that the screen is too small however I think even I am adapting to using small screens. What the heck, I am text messaging these days and following others on Twitter that is linked to my cell phone.
Speaking of cell phone, I came to work today without it and almost feel like I didn’t completely dress. If this is the change that we have had in the last ten years I really do wonder what the next 10 will bring and are YOU READY FOR THIS?
