hey Community,

It’s 12:00 AM and I have a series of updates for you concerning my Blog’s past subject matter. This post includes updates on the subjects of Firefox 3 and The International Space Station. Basically this is my first 2 in 1 blog. Tomorrow at 12:00 AM I will update yet another one of my past blog subjects- the HD-DVD Format. Don’t worry, there is relevance to these updates!
Enjoy!

Firefox 3 Beta 5 was released on April 2nd.
Beta 5 sees updates to various things from Beta 4, namely things that the Firefox community has had problems with or suggestions about. What does this mean for you? Big fixes with the Mac version leave it running smoother than before, as well as increased integration with all three major Operating Systems; Windows, Mac and Linux. Firefox 3’s main claim to fame is still the increasing of memory usage and web compatibility. Beta 5 is stable as far as the Mozilla team is concerned, but since this is the fifth and last beta, Mozilla hopes that they can address all issues (known and unknown) before final release of Firefox 3.0 in June of this year. Firefox also claims that F3 will be significantly more secure than Firefox Version 2 which is their main concern (F2’s security, while being excellent is less than ideal in the eyes of some F2 users). Browser hijacking and information phishing is more and more common as the world’s technology continues to expand in every direction.

If you’re looking for the fastest, most secure Internet today, Beta 5 is the answer!

The International Space Station received necessary supplies this past Thursday, the 4th of April. European crafted Cargo Ship “Jules Verne,” named for a French science fiction author of the 1800s, Verne wrote popular adventure/exploration titles such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days- along with H.G. Wells he shares the title as the “Father of Science Fiction.” Why is this figure relevant? As you may have noticed, the latest European portions of the ISS reflect on historical icons involved with new exploration for instance on February, 11th the world saw the addition of Europe’s Space Lab “Columbus.” Along with deploying a needed cargo ship, Europe officially tested a new line of spacecraft; the “Automated Transfer Vehicle.” The ATV is a fully automated spacecraft that is designed to hold three times as much cargo as it’s preceding class “Progress.” The purely expendable unmanned ATV can also be used to re-boost the ISS into a higher orbit.
