In this computerboom VIDEO tutorial, I explain how to install Firefox 3.0, and then I go through some RECOMENDED addons that adds LOTS of functionality to FireFox.
Firefox the free open source browser is climbing in number of users. Its now reached about 20% of the market share. I like firefox now and after using AVANT (www.avantbrowser.com) a SHELL for internet explorer for many years, I finally made the change. But when I moved I lost some of the cool features that avantbrowser had. But with the extensions I regained those functions…
Firefox ROCKS because if its extension (add on) library!!!

Windows Vista only: We took a liking last week to the Windows 7 calculator and its many uses for serious mathletes, as well its templates for calculating mortgages, salaries, and other real-world numbers. Now you can get that same power on your Windows Vista system, thanks to (we presume) one intrepid hacker who pulled it out of the Windows 7 preview. You can run it as a no-install app or make it your system’s default calculator, as the Daily Gyan blog explains in the via link below, but you’ll want to back up your original calculator first. The files are shared through Box.net at the moment, and may get pulled down if traffic gets heavy (or a certain development firm gets antsy); we’d appreciate any alternate links in the comments. The Windows 7 Calculator is a free download for Windows Vista systems only.

This could go as far as getting a new computer package or perhaps upgrading or adding certain peripherals to your current setup. Making a Christmas wish list is apparent and among the things needed would vary, depending on how geeky [...]

We have already discussed the features of upcoming Windows 7 and also saw the screenshots of build 6933 and build 6780 now lets us look at the screenshots of Windows 7 Build 6936.
icrosoft was using Windows 7 build 6933 for presentation during PDC event, while giving out only Windows 7 build 6801, which still has tons of features removed, disabled, locked or haven’t added in, causing hackers to scramble to come out with crack to patch and unlock the hidden features in Windows 7.
Apparently somebody has managed to install Windows 7 build 6936 (6.1.6936), a version that even higher and newer than Windows 7 build 6933 used in PDC. Unfortunately, there is not leaked Windows 7 build 6936 ISO image via HTTP, torrent or ED2K networks yet, but there are a few beautiful screenshots and screen captures of the Windows 7 build 6936, while waiting for the beta of Windows 7 to be released (or leaked).

According to a video posted on Micron’s new blog, the company managed to develop a solid state drive that could reach the fastest speeds ever recorded by such a product. To be more specific, the video demonstrates a SSD that reaches data transfer rates of 800 MB/s while also being able to expand to apparently about 1 GB/s. This speed would be approximately twice the highest performance peak seen until today.
The system used for demonstration included two eight-core Intel Xeon processors and two SSDs. In addition, the two drives were not connected through a traditional PATA or SATA interface, which means they were not limited to the bandwidth barrier of 300 MB/s of SATA II. The drives used a PCIe interface, also including flash data management enhancements, as Micron states.
According to Micron’s Joe Jeddeloh, during the demonstration, the two cards managed to hit a data throughput of about 800 MB/s and 150,000 to 160,000 random IOPS. Jeddeloh also showed a flash PCIe card which combined the two cards in one device with 16 flash channels. He said that this card would be able to reach a bandwidth of 1 GB/s and “at least 200,000 IOPS”. The fastest enterprise SSDs available today from big manufacturers can hit about 250 MB/s and approximately 30,000 IOPS. When it comes to hard disk drives, the fastest one is considered to be WD’s Velociraptor, which clocks in at about 100 MB/s.
The PCIe concept of SSDs is not a new one, as Fusion IO has already unveiled similar products, the most notable of them hitting about 100,000 IOPS a year ago. The company has recently launched a “consumer version” of its PCIe card, which is said to offer data throughput of 500 - 700 MB/s and about 50,000 IOPS for around $1000. Micron said its drive would be available soon, but gave no reference to a possible price tag.
