Firefox 3 Beta 2 is available for download

Just around a month after releasing Firefox 3 Beta 1, here comes Beta 2. Just like the first time, this is just beta, so only use if you don’t mind unstable browser and incompatible extensions.

One major improvement every Firefox user was looking for in this release is a solution for memory leaks and the huge memory footprint, and guess what, at last more than 300 memory leaks has been fixed, 11 improvements of the memory footprint and a new XPCOM cycle collector which should eliminate many more memory leaks.

Other new features include new download manager which allows you to easily locate the downloaded file and display where the file came from. A new autocomplete function in the location bar allows you to just type part of the title or tag or the address of a page to see matches from your history or your bookmarks. A new Smart Bookmarks folder allows you to have a look at the most pages you visited or the latest bookmarked pages or latest tagged.

In general Firefox 3 is just looking better and better with every beta release, to have a look on all the latest changes in Beta 2, you can read the Release Notes.

Inter Milan allows Sao Paulo to loan Adriano

The depressed overweight has got what he wished for, he is staying in his country at least until the end of the current season. He will be playing for São Paulo in the Copa Libertadores and São Paulo State Cup.

When his agent was asked on how Adriano reacted towards this deal he said “Adriano was over the moon when I told him and he thanked me for arranging it all”.

Inter Milan have said that they are happy with Adriano’s recuperation, the player will return to Inter Milan in the 2008-2009 season.

I expect Adriano will find another deal by next season with another European club, and I expect it to be either Arsenal or Manchester City or AC Milan.

Facebook Friend Lists, One Step Away from Perfection

Now facebook allows you to organize your contacts into lists, so you can make different groups of friends, such as “Close Friends”, “Colleagues”, “University Buddies” and so on.

Those groups are not shown on your profile, they are only for your own use, to start organizing your friends into groups just click on “Friends” in the menu and click on “Make a New List” then type the name you want to give for the group, then just start typing the names of your friends or click “Select Multiple Friends” to select multiple friends by their pictures. Now you will be able to send messages to specific groups. 

The next logical step now is that Facebook would make it possible for us to give access to different groups different parts of our profile, for example you wouldn’t want your work colleagues to see some more personal photos or videos.
