It must be something, no? Download a copy here. For Firefox 1.0.x only. To the 60% of my readers who use IE, it’s time to get Firefox!
No matter how large our iTunes playlists are, we sometimes still go back to the radio simply for more music, or to listen to the DJs with fake accents.
This USB Radio from Thanko Japan might be your gadget, because with it, you get to listen to the radio, impress your colleagues and record your favorite music with ease.
Firefox 1.0.7 is now available for download. Mozilla has named it a security and stability release, and strongly recommends all the users to upgrade to this latest version. Among the major changes in this release are:

The guys at Opera have finally realized that it’s wrong to charge someone for using the web browser. Opera Software, the company behind Opera Web Browser who recently gave away free serial numbers on their 10th birthday bash, has tried to push their product into the web browser market further by giving it away free. Optional premium support is available for $29 a year.
Welcome to the free browser war, Opera!
