With the other browser family coming up with new gimmicks such as Internet Explorer 8, it is high time Mozilla come out with something to counter lest be out of the competitive browser war. Understandably, whenever there is a maiden release of any products, people flock to be the first few to try the product. But the issue here i believe is how to retain all these new customers, and that is perhaps the reason for the longer than usual release of Firefox next generation browser, Firefox 3.5 beta 4 .
Promising a faster Javascript engine, private browsing mode, faster page rendering, Firefox 3.5 is definitely something to look forward to in the coming week. Featuring also the change of the concept of how tabs are handled, one feature which is the main reason for the majority of the migrate of browser in the early days, is worth a wait. Or two.

Having been in control with the browser war thus far, it is high time Mozilla do something about its current status quo or risk losing the top seat. With Internet Explorer rolling out its brand new Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome 2.0 beta slated to be out of beta anytime soon, things would be a little bit rough for any browsers to secure their own market share. Here at theysaY, we have outlined a few cumulative updates and upcoming changes for the reigning Mozilla FireFox.
1) Multi-processor support for FireFox is in place, at least for the concept.
The finalised plan remains to be seen as Mozilla pulls up its socks in anticipation for splitting up the FireFox browser to handle multiple processes simultaneously. All have been said and it is until next time for the realisation of these works.
2) Firefox Next-Generation Java-Script Engine – Minefield
Pretty much has been said and heard about the FireFox Minefield. Believe it or not, upon its final candidate of release, it is believed to be powerful enough to sway all the Internet speed fanatics to Mozilla. Perhaps it is this triumph card that they are holding back.
3) Mozilla Firefox With A Personal Touch v3.01
Meet FireFox customised to you own needs! Come this season when the curtains are drawn, you would understands how much changes Firefox has gone through since its Firefox 3.0 debut release. Being one of the few to introduce tab windows in Internet browsers, you can expect a little more since those days. Not so much to say the version numbers, but rather the more important concept of information technology with a personal touch.

Admit it. We all are part of the Google Chrome hype. Since its release, the nascent browser brought to scene out of not where and are giving Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox a run for the money. With its latest release of version 2.0, Google Chrome does not disappoint its supporters with its faster, geeker JavaScript Engine. Here’s to the gist of v2.0 Chrome.
Chrome 2 boasts both increased speed and functionality, nothing surprising, but something worth mentioning. With the advent of technology, everything is revolving about instant gratification and speed is not the limiting factor but rather the bare necessity. Other improved features would be form autofill and improved new tab pages. More details here as usual.

I suppose the average joe among us would most probably be familiar with the regular .zip and .exe format, less some of our older generation. But how about the lesser recognized .qbw format? For the unaware, .qbw contains financial data created by QuickBooks money management software Basically it is a compressed publication created by Microsoft Publisher’s Pack and Go Wizard application.
Basically, when a data file is condense, QuickBooks will create a separate file extension QBW file with the name Archive Copy XX/XX/200X followed by the name of the QBW file. It is an exact replica prior to the one before condensing. User is also able to search for information that was later excluded during the whole process. On top of that, there will be a backup copy (QBB) of the file being created in the whole process.

Apple has finally released its latest revised iPhone, codenamed iPhone 3GS. With a similar sleek physical outlook, the inside packs more punch then ever. From the much anticipated MMS function for iPhone and the built-in video camera, the reasons to jump over to be part of the Apple manic are just increasing in the list.
Basically what users should be more excited and yet would not notice so much would be the promised faster processing speed. Having all the gimmicks in the world would be redundant if what you see is only stuttering speed and lazy response time. Some find that the built-digital compass a function that is fun to play for the first few hours and chuck aside to never be used again. Anyway, that is beside the point given the many lovely add-ons to the already wonderful iPhone 3GS specs.
