| 1. Website of the week:
http://www.hulu.com/
Hulu allows you to watch some of your favorite movies on the web. For example, the series premiere of Knight Rider, yes Knight Rider!!!! aired tonight night at 8p on NBC. Too bad I had already watched it over the weekend on Hulu! :) Jason Kilar, a former Amazon.com exec is the current CEO. The great thing about this site is that you don't have to create an account or sign-in every time. Check it out!
2. Tip of the week: Web Browsers:
For anyone using Firefox either as a primary or secondary browser, version 3.0.2 was released on 9.23.08. You can easily get the update by opening your Firefox browser, click 'Help' and 'Check for Updates'. (prior version was 3.0.1)
Detailed release notes can be found at: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0.2/releasenotes/
Security specific vulnerabilities patched: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html#firefox3.0.2
If you are not running Firefox then you are probably running IE 7. FYI - IE 8 is currently in beta 2 and is available for download on the Microsoft IE website. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/default.aspx
Google's new Chrome browser has been a breath of fresh air for many traditional IE users. Speed, along with some unique functionality has made it an instant hit for many users craving for a new browser. For my money, I'm still sticking with Firefox, the add-ons are just too darn convenient. Plus, I don't want to jump on the Google bandwagon just yet...they have enough information on my surfing habits as it is!
