Firefox Update 3.0.3 Fixes Password Manager Bug
As I was launching my Firefox this morning, an update prompt flashed at the lower-right side of my Firefox v3 browser urging me to update to version 3.0.2. The prompt was kinda fast and I thought I’ve missed it, but browsing thru the Help –>Apply Updates Now tab applied the update, restarted Firefox and took me to Mozillas homepage. However, since the update previously offerred was v3.0.2, I was prompted again the update to the ”latest and greatest version”, which in this case, is v3.0.3.

My MSN Hotmail Inbox Is Totally Empty!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve logged into my Hotmail account since I’ve already switched to Gmail. Late this evening, I need to reset my password in of the forums I frequently visit. I remember that my account for that forum is linked to my Hotmail account, so I hurriedly entered my credentials and waited for the results.

September 09, 2008: Microsoft Says Goodbye To Laser While Apple Rocks It Out
September 9, 2008 is definitely filled with events that will rock the tech world. These are the events to watch out today:
Today, Microsoft will reveal what they dubbed as a device that says goodbye to the laser technology. Since the annoucement was made over Microsoft’s Hardware website, it is quite evident that the product will involve something that influences our interaction with the computer.
Upon hearing such announcement, most were excited to know what it is, however, the suspense seems to have vanished when a Engadget reader spotted a mouse over at Amazon Germany. This device is rumored to utilize a blue-LED coupled with a wide-angle lens (diffuser perhaps?) and has the same logo from the teaser embossed on its front. Such scheme will enable this new mouse to work over surfaces that common optical mouse wouldn’t work, such as glass and uneven surfaces.
Another big event today would be the Let’s Rock event by Apple in Yerba Buena Center For The Art Theatre, San Francisco. What would you think would be announced at the event? New Ipod models? Price cut on the Iphone perhaps? I’m sure you are one with me in awaiting the results of these events. I just hope there will be new models of Macbooks that will be announced. Just wishing though.

Cellphone Popcorn Is A Hoax
A couple of days ago, I have received an email containing a link to a video wherein a group places unpopped kernels of popcorn in the table center, then around it they placed their cellphones. The mobile phones were so arranged so that the top part seems to concentrate or beam the signals directly to the popcorn kernels. They then call their mobile phone and once they ring, the popcorns popped up into the air. Seemingly convincing at first, but right after watching it you know there is a trick behind it. First, here is the video of the cellphone popcorn:
Now here’s a video explaining how it was possibly done, and I strongly believe such method were used in the video above.

Wordpress 2.6.2 Released, Upgrade Now As In Now
If your blog is still running on an old version of Wordpress, version 2.6.2 has just been released hours ago. Aside from fixing several bugs from older Wordpress versions, this new Wordpress version is an urgent mandatory upgrade to circumvent SQL Column Truncation, especially if you allow open user registration.
Let’s give credit to the Wordpress core team for their quick response in dealing with v2.6.1 bugs.
This is why I love Wordpress.

Google Chrome Browser: First Impressions
Upon reading what Google chrome would offer, I was one of those eagerly waiting to try it out; constantly searching and refreshing what seemed to be the first available download link for it. About an hour ago, Google has made the download link for Google Chrome live, and you could also see it advertised on Google homepage (not in country specific Google sites though, just on it’s main homepage). Linux and Mac users would have to wait for a while since the installer is only for Windows.
