Firefox 3 dose anyone care?
Well if you have looked at my twitters to day you have notice that I have been play with Firefox today. I wanted to make my own skin and just play with it but I lack the coding skills and the art skills to do it. I’m still going to try though. It got me thinking Firefox 3 is coming out soon and dose anyone cares I mean threes nothing really new about it. There is nothing that isn’t in IE7 that will be in Firefox 3 except skins and add on’s that’s all really. I’m going to use it because I’ve used it for so long that I have a hard time using IE and I like the master password thing on Firefox. It’s hard for me to go to a friend and try to get them to switch to Firefox if I had to now. I though Firefox 3 isn’t out yet so there is still hope I think. I think the guys at Mozilla have so good ideas left some ware to make Firefox 3 stand out form the rest.

Windows SP1
Windows Vista SP1 is out as you all know. I got it and I installed it on all the computers in the house with Vista. My desktop computer benefited from it because I had only had it for a day and I hadn’t gotten to do that many updates for windows. It saved me from waiting for hours doing tones of restarts. On my laptop I really didn’t see a different before and after. Though that is probably because I had the built version of it so I basically had it on there. On my desktop it took only an hour to install it. My laptop it took almost 3 hours to install. I really did not think it would take that long to do it on there. I knew it would take a little longer for my laptop only because of the fact it doesn’t have a fast presser. But over all I’m happy. It helped me more than it knows.
I took the update and I burned it to a DVD with along with some Office updates. I did this because if you have to restart windows it makes it easier to get your computer up to date before you even get on the internet. On my disk I only have SP1 and the Office 2007 compatibility Pack. I make one of these disks after every big windows service pack. I think SP1 is good for anyone running Vista not that Microsoft really gives you choose with updates.

What If Apple....
Last night I was on the phone last night with a friend I told her how I had a project due Monday about imac’s. My friend asked me if I thought that one day that apple would ever be the norm and over come windows. My reasons was that I think that unless Apple stats licensing what they need to license to OEM’s Mac will never have the over all market share that windows dose. There was one case not to long a go that an OEM wanted to make Imac’s and Apple said no. I really think that if Apple lets other OEM’s make Imac’s that OS X could have the over all market share that windows has had for so long or at lest Apple could give a real scare that Microsoft needs to have.

Firefox going the way of Netscape
Some time this year Firefox 3 is coming out and the more and more I hear about it I can’t help but to think what is going on at Mozilla. I was reading Pual Thurott’s and he doesn’t seem to like it because Mozilla isn’t doing anything new. Mozilla is what basically made IE7 if not for Mozilla we would not have IE7. But now there is no wreathen to get Firefox you already have it and its IE7. Witch is fine to use. For me at this point the only wreathen I still use Firefox is the mast password and varsines seat belt plug in for Firefox if not for those to things I would be taking Firefox off my computer. In the end there will probably only be IE again. Why you might be asking because if Mozilla doesn’t do anything new with Firefox then no one is going to talk about and tell others about it and with out that no one will know about it. Its not IE or even Safire ware it just comes with the OS. So in the end it will probably die and I think other things that Mozilla dose will too sadly. The other things they do are grate and so is Firefox but with out it why should people go to there site and find the other things they do. It is kind of said that the browser that fought for internet standers and won will probably never see the light of day soon. Unless that is they do something in there new bate of Firefox 3 witch came out today and I will be looking at that soon.

No More DRM?
Last night I was on Itunes buying music and I saw +.99. I wanted to know plus what? So I clicked on it and it came up with a FAQ about Itunes Plus. From what it was saying Itunes plus is going to be a new Itunes store with and it will off the Fowlling.
- No DRM on songs
- highest-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding
- No more burn limits
The songs will also be same price as songs with DRM. This makes me think my be the end of DRM is here its just going to slip away and be no more. I can only assume that buy next year at the latest that all the content on itunes will have no DRM. So I guess what I have to say about it is R.I.P DRM[TP1] .

Download
Well I watched the first 2 episodes of Download last night and they were grate. They talked about the browser wars (Netscape and Microsoft). I just love how they showed Microsoft as like a mafia like company. From what they kept saying it that’s how they were back in the early 90’s. But I don’t want to give away nothing so your going to have to watch it your selves so got to Downloads web site and find out what time this week it is on in your area.

Making A Home Sever F or The Rest Of Us
I use to use my old windows 98 computer for a server until it died. It was a good idea I think and something I had wanted to do. It wasn’t that hard I just had wish I had a copy of windows XP laying a round to network my computers all to gather and it would have helped if the router that we are using in this house was connected to that computer. As long as you have all that and an older computer that is just sitting around gathering dust you can have a little sever of your own. Just be aware you won’t be abele to make users on the network or even do roaming profiles.
I would reinstall windows on the computer you are going to use for this and I would also say do this with wired network. This will work on a wireless network but it will be slower. One more thing I for got to say make sure this computer is has at least 80 GB of hard drive space. Once you have reinstalled windows make a good 20 GB partition. Once you have that made make your work group and name it something other than workgroup. Once windows is done confining windows it should ask you to either make a CD or finish. It is easier to tell it to have it make a setup file on a flash drive. Once you have the setup file with your network config on it just take to all the computers that you want networked to the older one. When you have done that you can get back on your “server” and tell it to share the 20 GB partition you made. Then you just have to go to the computers you have networked to it and tell them to map it out as a network drive just make it the same drive volume on all the computers. Then you can just save files to that drive have Microsoft Money to save your money file there then you have another back for your money things or even save your documents to it. Just one thing though never work off this server or really any server cause if something happen to your network work you cant get to your computer.
Well I hope this helps and saves money if you have wanted a home sever but you really don’t think you need it. This was a big help for me when I did this. Just remember to back up your data to something like sky drive or even to a DVD. If you want to e-mail me about the blog just e-mail me at sam16blake@live.com hope to hear from you all.
