Mozilla has released a 2nd alpha version of Firefox 2.0. As usual, this release is not recommended for any kind of serious use, but if you're salivating at some of the new version's features, check out what has been incorporated in this 2nd development milestone:Filed under: Internet, Windows, Microsoft, Mozilla

Josiah Cole at Oomny, a very odd
little gem of a blog, has posted an interesting
comparison of the memory usage of Firefox 2.0 Alpha 1 ("Bon Echo") and Internet Explorer 7 beta 2, both
of which were released this week? The results are a little surprising. Firefox consistently outperforms IE, using
slightly more than half the memory for single pages. Cole notes, however, that IE's memory use drops significantly when
the browser is in the background or minimized, wheras Firefox's stays constant. Cole also does some tests using multiple
tabs in which Firefox again performs well, but these results are offset by the fact that he's using an about:config tweak that makes his
experience atypical. Still, though both browsers are early in their development cycles, it's interesting to see how
Mozilla's alpha browser compares to Microsoft's beta.Filed under: Internet, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Mozilla, Open Source

While a maybe-it's-official alpha version of Firefox 2.0 showed up late last week, today we

2.0 Alpha 1, codename "Bon Echo." On the list of changes are new tabbed browsing features, a new storage
system for bookmarks and history, and improvements to the extension and search plugin systems. One hopes it goes
without saying, but this is alpha software, so read the release notes and use at your own risk.
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". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
