Free software darling SugarCRM blasts OSI
,----[ Quote ]
| Full of free software pride, SugarCRM CEO John Roberts has revitalized his
| attack against the Open Source Initiative (OSI) characterizing the
| organization as weak and confused.
|
| After being the open source community's whipping boy, SugarCRM now enjoys a
| position of power. Last month, the software maker agreed to place a fresh
| version of its flagship product under the General Public License v3 (GPLv3)
| crafted by the Free Software Foundation. This established SugarCRM as the
| most prominent backer of GPLv3 to date.

Review: Firefox 3 Beta Answers Some Questions, Raises Others
,----[ Quote ]
| CRN Test Center downloaded Firefox 3 Beta 1 from Mozilla for a peek to get an
| idea of what users can expect when Firefox 3 is officially launched. Since
| this is a beta, the browser is intended for testing purposes only. While no
| one expects the browser to be production-ready now, if history is any guide,
| the likelihood of users going ahead and upgrading increases the longer the
| product stays in beta.

Firefox 3 Beta 1 review
,----[ Quote ]
| This week Mozilla released the first beta of Firefox 3. Originally scheduled
| for mid July, the delay responds to the very long list of features this new
| version brings. Eight alphas and an estimated 14 months under development are
| both firsts for a Firefox upgrade but again are necessary for the amount of
| improvements and new features Firefox 3 will bring.

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is a winner
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Mozilla's blurb: "Firefox 3 Beta 1 is based on the new Gecko 1.9
| Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 27
| months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than
| 11,000 issues." That means little to me. All I'm interested in is
| performance, reliability, look and feel. And from what I've seen so far,
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 succeeds spectacularly in all areas.
