Mozilla Firefox 3 Features Screencast
An anonymous reader points to a mention at MozillaZine of "a screencast by Mozilla developer Mike Beltzner, demonstrating some of the new features in Mozilla Firefox 3, which is due out very soon. Weighing in at under four minutes, the screencast gives a concise overview of why you should be excited about Firefox 3. Due to its visual nature, the screencast shows Firefox's features far more clearly than the many written previews that have been published. A picture really is worth a thousand words."
For the record, I think it's totally dumb that my gratuitous First Post has gone unmodded and your legitimate, on-topic complaint has been labeled Flamebait.
DRM: Terminator crops for your mind!
Looks very interesting, but will it trash all your very useful addons and have you swearing for the previous version?
Take Nobody's Word For It.
Is that better?
Actually, his post was only barely on topic - replies should be on-topic to their parent, not to the original article.
damn, you're right.
well isn't that Informative!

Most people who connect to Slashdot use Windows. It's the reality of working in the computer field today.
Vint Cerf said it's true. Quote from your sig: ' "During My Service In The United States Congress, I Took The Initiative In Creating The Internet." -Al Gore'
Several years ago I asked Vint Cerf about that, and he said it is true. Vint Cerf, and many other people, connected a lot of computers together, in a project called ArpaNet, which was then a scheme by the U.S. government to make killing people and destroying property more efficient. Originally you could only connect if you worked for a company with "Defense" (killing-related) contracts.
Al Gore made ArpaNet the public utility it is today. Vint Cerf, and others, had technical power. Al Gore had the political power to take the network away from the control of those who study how to kill, and make it available to everyone. Al Gore's initiative was strongly opposed by many of those who had access, including someone I knew at Tektronix at the time, because they didn't want commercial involvement.
Most politicians at the time didn't even know how to type. Keyboards were for secretaries. The head of IBM at the time didn't have a computer in his office! (Former IBM CEO Lou Gerstner said that in his book, Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?)
Al Gore's involvement showed technical foresight then far more advanced than that of almost all or all politicians today.
There are two parts of the Republican Party, a real party, and a party of corruption. The party of corruption sells favors from the U.S. government to whomever pays the most. One of the ways they do that is by finding angry people and helping them act out their anger by supplying them with words that have been market-tested for believability. Example: The Republicans are not "Conservative". That apply that term to themselves because they know it will get votes.
Being hostile toward Al Gore was part of what they did to put George W. Bush in office, only that.
you got trolled!
