Firefox hits 500 million downloads
We thought about baking Firefox another cake but it felt a little decadent given that Firefox is asking users to head over to FreeRice and play their games to help donate rice to those in need. Something about eating butter-creme frosting and thinking of starving children just didn't work so well. Instead, by playing FreeRice and choosing the correct meaning of the displayed word, you'll send 20 grains of rice -- per word -- to an area of the world in need.
Congrats Firefox, here's to reaching the next milestone!
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".

Yay! I've recently noticed that over 55% of the traffic to my site uses Firefox. Sweet. 30 something percent still use the craptastic IE.
I use pretty much all browsers for something or another. Mainly Opera, Flock (which is just a fancy distribution of Firefox), and Firefox itself. I try never to use IE, only for testing.
Boom!
