Download Firefox 3 Now and Make Guinness World Record History

Well I know it is quiet silly, but you you bet it is a nice marketing stunt that works. Urging people to download Firefox 3 and be part in breaking a new Guinness World Record. But to do that you need to download Firefox now, or basically until 5pm UTC/GMT time.

Earlier they were taking pledges from people that they will be downloading on download day which was decided few days ago. Heck even I got into it and added a button in my blog to encourage people to do so.

Ofcourse Firefox 3 has a huge number of improvements, they claim its around 15 thousand improvements, watch the Firefox 3 features tour, which just gives you a quick look into the new Firefox. I was following beta after beta and I can confidently tell you that Firefox 3 is so much better than Firefox 2 but more importantly it is really better than any other browser out there, the only other browser that I can think that would be as good as Firefox is Opera which had their version 9.5 released few days ago. Sadly their release did not go with a bang like Firefox, only the very loyal Opera fans knew about it.

I can easily say that Firefox is the favorable browser by those new to Computers and Internet equally as to those who are power users and if you wish “techies” or maybe “geeks”. I am not writing a love poem about Firefox, every application has its problems, but judging with what is available now, Firefox is the best.

I will be writing few posts during the following few days about Firefox and its new features. So if you wanna be part of the Official Guinness World Record go and download Firefox 3 now

IMAP for GMAIL (YES!!!) [NO???]

Yep… IMAP is available for GMAIL now, although I wont start jumping in joy just yet. It seems that people are having hassles configuring it, so i would wait a bit, plus GMAIL doesnt FULLY supports IMAP, some features are not supported.

IMAP is good for multiple platform users, now you can access your mail from different platforms and keep the changes and see them from any platform….

If you login to your gmail and you cant see the setup for IMAP just try to logoff and login again and it will appear, if not just wait for couple of days.
