Windows only: Foxit Reader—the PDF viewer that introduced most of us to the good life sans Adobe’s bloated Acrobat Reader—has just updated to version 3.0. Among the handful of new and improved features, the most notable update for Firefox users is support for inline viewing of PDFs using Foxit Reader’s new Firefox plug-in. That means that you can quickly view any PDF directly in a Firefox tab when you don’t feel like opening a separate app to view a linked PDF (a feature common to Reader but not to Foxit). Beyond that, the full list of new features includes:
- Enticing Multimedia Design
Now users can not only play multimedia in Foxit Reader, but also are empowered to add, edit or delete multimedia files with the incredible Movie Tool and Sound Tool.
- Attachment Panel
Lists all the attached files in the PDF document, and provides a number of common options that helps users manage the attachments, such as opening, deleting and adding description to the attachments. Users can also change the security settings when opening an attachment in this panel.
- Thumbnail Panel
Shows thumbnail images for each PDF page and allows users to quickly view relevant portions of a PDF file. Now users can navigate through PDFs with page thumbnails.
- Layout Panel
Lists PDF layers in the document, allows users to control the display of some certain content areas.
- Metric Unit Support
Within the preferences dialog box it gives users the option to set the unit of page dimension in either metric system or imperial system.
- Auto-scrolling with Middle Mouse Button
In the Hand Tool reading mode, users can perform auto-scrolling by holding the middle mouse button/wheel mouse button down.
- Awe-Inspiring Foxit OnDemand Content Management
This new add-on enables users to organize, share and collaborate on documents and forms online. Users can upload from Foxit Reader or send documents with ease. Advanced features include workflow driven document sharing, revisions of documents, CollabRoom for group collaboration.
- Firefox Support
With Firefox Plugin, users can view and work with PDF files loaded in Foxit Reader with Firefox web browser.
As always, the fast-loading Foxit Reader also works from your thumb drive so you can enjoy quick PDF viewing no matter where you are. Foxit Reader is a free download (with a Pro version available if you need more advanced features), Windows only.

Whatever we may think about the causes of the current market meltdown, free markets do tend 
to heal themselves over time. Hence, it was only a matter of time before someone would come along and give Microsoft a run for its money in its core businesses, Windows and Office.
What was less clear, however, was just how much a giveaway–the browser–was going to become central to it all, as applications and data are increasingly being run in "the cloud" with the browser being used to access them.
As I noted on Friday, Microsoft is under considerable threat from Mozilla’s Firefox browser as it continues to gain market share at the expense of Internet Explorer. Compounding Microsoft’s woes, however, is a new salvo from Google: it plans to take its open-source Chrome browser retail through OEM deals with computer manufacturers, as Ars Technica reports:
"We will probably do distribution deals," (Google Vice President of Product Management Sundar) Pinchai told The Times. "We could work with an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and have them ship computers with Chrome preinstalled."
Doing so could significantly change the browser market’s competitive landscape…Many consumers don’t actually do much choosing of Internet Explorer. History suggests that the vast majority of users are actually remarkably agnostic over what browser they use, and often opt for whatever ships on the system. If Google does cut deals to distribute Chrome as the default browser, it would be an interesting test of whether or not Microsoft’s brand-loyalty perception is grounded in anything even resembling fact.
Firefox is changing the game, and Google is apparently preparing to compete with Microsoft at its own game (i.e., bundling its browser on new PCs). Once installed, there’s a very good chance that consumers will end up using Chrome. Once it’s there, all it takes is one article talking about Firefox or Chrome as being superior to IE in security or some other feature and consumers may well ditch the IE icon.
The browser market just got even frothier. Advantage? Consumers.

Blue, the color that has been holding back OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen technology 
may be one giant step closer to production. Previously scientists were only able to reproduce red and green OLED’s but had stumbled upon finding a material for true blue OLEDs. No longer is that the case as a group of researchers in Korea have claimed to have discovered the true blue OLED. This means that we will hopefully have consumer OLED products on the market sooner rather than later.
Why is having OLED on the market important? OLED products have greater field of vision, better color quality and require less power. Overall it’s a better value for the consumer and the environment.
