FireNes + Firefox 3 = Ultimate Distraction

Posted by Bradley under Games, Technology

With the epic world record release of Firefox 3 last week (8 million downloads!) loads of extensions have been popping up to make your browsing experience even more enjoyable distracting.

FireNes will let you play 2000+ Nintendo games right from your sidebar within Firefox.  You’ll need to install Java first (yea, I know, but get over it) and then the Firefox extension from the link below to get things going.  Check the FAQ at the site for controls and make sure you click inside the game window to active them.

Double Dare, Bubble Bobble and Excite Bike included.

Work can wait.

Help Firefox 3 Set A World Download Record

Posted by Bradley under Personal, Technology

The hotness that is Firefox 3 is coming!  And you can help set a world record by downloading it.

To help celebrate the launch of the new browser, the Mozilla Foundation has launched the Download Day 2008 campaign to set a world record for the largest number of downloads in a 24 hour period.  Eat your, uhh, grab your heart out Jenna Jameson!

And, wow I’m actually going to admit this, after a 14 year exclusive relationship with Internet Explorer I’ve ditched it in favor of Firefox 3 RC1 and I love it.  Oh the humanity!
