Mozilla Firefox 4.0 - up for your taking



That's right, Firefox 4.0 here on an internet near you...

As far as i can tell its the same old, faster, safer, stronger that all of the software updates normally are. But it does include some nice new features too, such as the App Tab.

After releasing a final Beta a few days back, we've got the real thing, so I downloaded and installed it, giving it a run for its money. It does seem to be up to standard with the new IE9 I posted about not too long ago.


Check it out for yourself, here.

Look out for our head to head comparison between IE9 and Firefox 4.0.


Amazon Kindle Review


Amazon Kindle. I've got to admit I don't read much so haven't found much use for it. But this thing is incredible, the screen is just the most bizarre thing ever - it does look exactly like paper; unbelievably thin.

The battery life is amazing - I have had it for around 3 months and have only charged it once; currently on around 60% battery. OK, I haven't used it much but then I don't use my phone excessively either, which barely lasts a day.

HTC Desire Z (G2) - Review


At last, I have my HTC Desire Z review to post. It's my only phone, I don't switch at all, so I use it 24/7 and it takes a lot of use...


First things first, whoa! Spec wise, it's not the greatest thing going, in the ever growing selection of HTCs, but it's not the worst, by a long shot. It looks the part too, it could be up there in the top ten for smartphone looks.

Internet Explorer 9 has arrived


That's right - available from the 14th of March, the new Microsoft Internet Explorer: Version 9.

From the recent downloads, it looks like its here to stay - topping 2 million downloads in the first day - 2.3 million if we're being precise.

I decided to take a look, and it is a very modern; minimalistic look, with squares and sharp edges. But I'm sceptical as to whether it lives up to being, as it claims, "Clean", "Fast" and "Trusted"...

But figures surely speak for themselves, so it must be worth a look -

Google release date guesser, live in a search bar near you



Try it now; searching for games or movies in Googles awesome search box should give you a "best guess" for the release date of that item.


It even quotes the sources (via an expandable menu) - which is pretty awesome. It works by crawling the net and finding dates mentioned next to products, the more it gets the more accurate and "best" it rates it - certain websites are also weighted favourably - such as IMDb, and Wikipedia.
