Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut | ZDNet - 0 views

  • Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut
  • Firefox 6 just launched last week, and new research already sees the latest version of Mozilla’s browser accounting for a significant fraction of traffic.
  • After Chitika took a look at all U.S. and Canadian traffic between August 16 and 22, the survey found that Firefox 6 has already garnered at least eight percent of the total traffic from browsers and approximately 45 percent of all Firefox-stemming traffic.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • However, don’t get too excited for Firefox 6 just yet. Chitika found that the growth rate for Firefox 6 is starting to taper off, likely due to the fact that all of the early adopters have already downloaded and started using Firefox 6.
  • Chitika also found that Firefox 6 usage peaks during the morning and at the end of the day, but very early morning hours tend to belong to Internet Explorer. Yet, this phenomenon is only relevant to Firefox 6 and not previous editions of the software. It’s not clear what Mozilla could try to do to make up for this gap — except maybe start some kind of advertising campaign targeted at night owls and graveyard shift employees.

UK riots 2011: London police should learn from those in Manchester | Mail Online - 0 views

  • In London the police have been adopting the modern, sophisticated approach of observing while criminals loot and riot.
  • In Manchester they have generally chosen the more old fashioned approach of arresting those involved.
  • In Birmingham the probability of a rioter ending up in a police cell would seem to be quite a bit higher than in the capital. In Nottingham and Wolverhampton the message is credible that the police will come and arrest anyone involved in rioting.

Palin to visit Fair on Friday, activist says | Iowa Caucuses - 0 views

  • Sarah Palin of Alaska will make an appearance Friday at the Iowa State Fair, a popular venue for presidential candidates.
  • Palin, who captures intense media attention wherever she goes, has been accused of spotlight-grabbing before. She slipped into New Hampshire the day Mitt Romney was there to announce his second presidential run. She visited Iowa in June for a movie screening the day President Barack Obama was in the state. Palin sent an email via her political action committee, SarahPAC, just before 4 p.m. Wednesday, saying she’s relaunching a tour of historic sites around the country. “The heartland is perfect territory for more of the One Nation Tour as we put forth efforts to revitalize the fundamental restoration of America by highlighting our nation’s heart, history, and founding principles,” she wrote. “We accept with gratefulness an invitation to meet folks at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines this week. … I’m also excited to try some of that famous fried butter-on-a-stick, fried cheesecake-on-a-stick, fried Twinkies, etc. I’ll enjoy them in honor of those who’d rather make us just ‘eat our peas’!” A State Fair spokeswoman said no one from Palin’s staff has contacted the fair. Palin, a former governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee, had not been expected to appear in Iowa before Labor Day weekend, when she’s scheduled to address a tea party gathering in Waukee. She has been flirting for months with a presidential bid, but has said only that she will make her decision in early fall.
  • “I think it will be a very interesting week for those who thought it was getting a little stale around here,” he added. Rogers said Organize4 Palin, a grass-roots group unaffiliated with Palin, also been doing screenings of the two-hour documentary about Palin, “The Undefeated,” around Iowa in the last three weeks. Palin made her first visit to Iowa in seven months on June 28 for the premiere of “The Undefeated” at an opera house in Pella. That visit fell a day after GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann announced her campaign in Waterloo. On that visit, Palin invited Beach, a GOP fundraiser, to lunch. Over a meal at a Panera Bread in Urbandale, Beach described the fair. “She’s gotten to be a very good friend of mine, and I’m really excited she’s coming,” Beach said.

What HP's TouchPad fire sale tells iPad rivals - Telegraph - 0 views

  • What HP's TouchPad fire sale tells iPad rivals For a short time this week, the TouchPad was the world’s most wanted gadget. Now with stocks sold out, HP is left to wonder what might have been.
  • Hundreds of thousands of TouchPads have been sold in days, after HP announced it would stop manufacturing its would-be iPad competitor.

  • The main Google Android tablets, made by Samsung and Motorola, are pitched at around the same £400-ish price point as the iPad. But, put together with all the other Android tablets, it’s estimated they are outsold by Apple’s devices eight to one.
  • Amazon, which is rumoured to be preparing to release an Android tablet this autumn. Like Apple with the iPad, it has built and dominated a market for itself with the Kindle, its hugely successful e-reader.
