Firefox Campus Edition download for students

by Chris Gilmer Aug 29th 2007

Firefox Campus Edition download released

Mozilla is jumping on the 'back to school' bandwagon to ensure that students get the most out of their online experience with a new "Firefox Campus Edition" download.

Announced last week, the Campus Edition of Firefox comes bundled with a few extras including:

FoxyTunes - allows you to control almost all media players, find videos, CD covers, videos, band bios all within Firefox.
StumbleUpon - browse the web and find websites, videos, images all based on your interests.
Zotero - collects, manages and cites research sources from within Firefox.

All these tools help students with productivity and mostly allow them to engage more with their favorite web browser. Check out the Firefox Campus Edition download here, and get set to get those computers ready. And hey, if you are already in school, download away and get on with the rest of your semester with Mozilla's help.

1 Gbps pipe speeds up campus downloads

by Ryan Carter Aug 29th 2006

College of the Desert in Palm Desert, CA just got the hook up to a 1 Gbps internet link, which means speeds capable of downloading a movie in about a second. The school had to lay nearly 400 miles of fiber-optic cable to achieve that kind of killer bandwidth speed. The upgrade was much needed as the school was having to ration out bandwidth, which sounds fairly normal to me for many schools. I don't know what school wouldn't love this kind of backbone to the Internet. College of the Desert is the third community college campus that has received this type of speed recently, which has made things easier for professors and students. Video-conferencing and other applications, such as campus-wide high-speed wifi or easy podcasting tools. Imagine how fast you could download every piece of software we have ever featured on Download Squad. That's fast.
