Firefox 8 Officially Available to Download Now
The new major release of Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox8, officially launches Nov. 8. However, as usual, it’s available to download on Mozilla’s servers a bit early, meaning you can install it right now.
The new release comes only one and a half months after Firefox 7. This is in line with Mozilla’s new rapid release strategy, under which we can expect a major new release of Firefox every 6 weeks.
Besides the usual stability and performance fixes, Firefox 8 brings support for Twitter in the search bar, some additional tab options (tabs can now be loaded at a user’s request after a browser restart) and improved add-on management and security.

Phone companies are selling your personal data for profit
Some mobile phone service providers have started selling your personal data to the highest bidder, and not just to advertising firms. Such information could be extremely useful to third party companies looking to develop new businesses in your area.
Verizon Wireless recently changed their privacy policy to allow them to track and record location data and web browsing history. The plan is to combine it with other valuable information about their customers including age and gender, aggregate it with millions of other users’ data and sell it to anyone willing to pay for it.
New hologram technology brings 3-D to life
Executives may not be able to beam a full three-dimensional image of themselves across the world just yet but researchers are a step closer to 3-D real-time images, an advance in holographic technology that could make video conferencing far more lifelike.
Nasser Peyghambarian of the University of Arizona and colleagues said on Wednesday their new holographic technology can project a near 360-degree image to another location that updates every two seconds.
The earliest use of the technology could be in movies, given the popularity of 3-D films such as “Avatar.”
How Free Games Make Money
When a game’s not working, some people quit. Others change the rules.
Three years ago, Howard Marks, best known for resurrecting the financially flailing game maker Activision (nasdaq: ATVI – news – people ) in the early 1990s, snapped up the remaining assets of bankrupt Acclaim Entertainment for $100,000. Now Acclaim is releasing games–charging players nothing to play–and aiming to be profitable within the next 12 months.
Best ways to protect your pc from virus
Computer viruses are deadly. They often spread without any apparent contact and can be a nuisance, or even worse, fatal to your computer. Individuals who create these viruses, estimated at 10-15 new ones a day, are the electronic version of terrorists.
Their goal is to inflict havoc and destruction on as many people as possible by disabling, stealing, damaging, or destroying computer and information resources. Often, they have no specific target in mind, so no one is safe. If you access the internet, share files or your computer with others, or load anything from diskettes, CDs, or DVDs onto your computer, you are vulnerable to viruses.
Fortunately, there are good guys working just as hard as the hackers to develop cures for viruses as quickly as they send them off into cyberspace. And there are many things you can do to keep your computer from catching viruses in the first place.

Video Projector for iPhone
The iPhone is great for taking videos and watching them if you’re by yourself. But if you wanted to share your videos with a group of people, you either have to play the “pass the phone around game” or upload them to a computer (which is still less than ideal). Hammacher has a solution with The iPhone Video Projector, an LED illuminated projection system that projects videos on a wall or screen up to 18 feet away. The system can project an image up to 110″ diagonal, which is huge!
