Mozilla Firebird Soars Into View 514
About a zillion people wrote to announce Mozilla 0.6, but asa was the first: "Mozilla Firebird 0.6 (formerly Phoenix) is available for download. This release features a fresh new look, a redesigned preferences window, preliminary support for Mac OS X and much more.
Read why you should be using Mozilla Firebird and get the latest release." I'm not exactly clamoring for a new web browser, but it looks worth checking out.

Glendale is making progress towards a trashy cityname, but for true consistency with Camino I suggest the code name for the final release of Bakersfield, or perhaps Fresno.

- Form auto-complete is still an unstable feature and may lead to crashes.
- Disabling of form auto-completion is not working.
Sweet.

StrokeIt? (Score:5, Funny)
Well, if you want mouse gestures, you can always get StrokeIt. It adds mouse gestures to Windows as a whole. Essentially, it recognizes a gesture and performs a macro based on which gesture it was and which application is active. It can even do global gestures like close, minimize all, and restore all.
StrokeIt? StrokeIt?!! I would never EVER buy anything called StrokeIt, if there is even the slightest chance of my wife finding out I bought something called that.

100
Which is the number of the micro-beast, IIRC.
Seriously, though, some people take that number *way* too seriously. When I worked in retail in my youth, I came across more than one customer who would actually purchase something else to change their total. I always wanted to say to them:
"It's not the total of your video and candy that's going to send you to hell, I promise."
But I never really had the balls to say it

Usually when people put words in inverted commas it means the words are being used in a different way than is usual. So, by "slow," I assume you mean "fast."

But... but... emacs is a browser :-)
man emacs if you don't believe me. I've found it quite handy from time to time when I've had to ssh to a host from a dumb terminal after a failed X11 session. While I mostly use Gnome nowadays, it is perfectly possible to use emacs as a complete desktop environment.
