Getting Help with OpenOffice.org

,----[ Quote ]
| Although OpenOffice.org comes with a decent online help, it can only get you 
| that far. But there is a plethora of Web resources, support forums, and books 
| that can help you to get the most out of the productivity suite and solve any 
| problems you might have. And often, you don’t have to pay a dime to get the 
| help you need.

Devs Test Drive Firefox 3.1 Beta

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla did not forget about its users. The new beta offers users a peek at a
| new tab-switching functionality that gives a preview of the tab before you
| switch to it by hitting the CTRL and Tab buttons.
|
| Then there's the latest change to the Awesome Bar, which now supports special
| characters. The addition allows users to restrict their searches by
| typing "^" for history-only queries or "+" for tagged page searches.
|
| The browser's new Location Bar, a location API, is also a significant change,
| said Hammond.
|
| "It has long term-consequences for mobile developers. As we see slimmed-down
| browsers like Fennec in 2009, support for this enables Web apps that will do
| things with location that developers must build natively today," he noted.
|
| With the inclusion of the much talked-about Trace Monkey JavaScript engine,
| users should see a noticeable increase in the browsers speed as well.

Browser Review: Mozilla Firefox 3

,----[ Quote ]
| By some estimates, more than 1.4 billion people use the Internet for work,
| entertainment, or commerce. All of those web surfers must use a browser to
| visit websites or shop at online stores, and if browsing speed, security, and
| functionality matter, those users should be cruising the information super
| highway with the Mozilla Firefox 3 web browser.
|
| [...]
|
| Recommendation: Firefox is the Best Browser Available Today
|
| Firefox is fast, safe, and offers better functionality than the competition
| thanks to an impressive collection of add-ons and some cool built-ins. The
| browser is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, and it is
| free to everyone. Certainly there are tradeoffs, but compared to
| compatibility problems and graphics support issues in IE6 and IE7, Chrome’s
| spying, and Opera’s propensity to crash, Firefox is the best.

Mozilla Ubiquity - the Web-integrated YOU

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubiquity is a really, really, really interesting project. It's unique,
| refreshing - and above all - truly useful. It saves time, it's smart and
| unobtrusive, it's virtually limited in its growth and customization
| capabilities, and it will really make the future of browsing into something
| completely different from what it is today.
|
| Here's a real change of creating a semi-AI tool that will serve you rather
| the other way around.

Overhauled tabbed browsing for Firefox 3.1

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.1 may well be remembered as the “tab release”, as tabbed browsing
| will be the most noticeable updated area users will face when it comes out in
| final form.

Finer session restore for Firefox 3.1

,----[ Quote ]
| Back from a totally offline, sweet 7-day cruise with great times at Aruba,
| Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and Saint Thomas. Aruba and Curaçao: overrated. Sint
| Maarten: the winner hands down. If you can, jump on one now!

Mozilla: Firefox is faster than Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla answered claims that Google's Chrome browser outperforms Firefox with
| benchmark results of its own that showed the upcoming Firefox 3.1 is faster
| at executing JavaScript.
|
| According to tests run by Brendan Eich, Mozilla's chief technology officer
| and the creator of JavaScript, Firefox's new TraceMonkey interpreter is up to
| 28 percent faster than V8, the name Google gave to the interpreter used by
| Chrome.
