  • It seems like just weeks ago we were updating to Firefox 5... Yup, that was just weeks ago
  • Now with Firefox 6, we're provided with a straightforward collection of security updates and tweaks.
  • "more substantial improvements" will come with Firefox 7, including a new JavaScript engine that "uses much less memory."
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Because Firefox 6 is not a major overhaul, the reviews are sparse, but people are still expressing their opinions.
  • Firefox 6 for desktops and laptops contains a number of important stability fixes, as well as some feature improvements, most of which are aimed at developers. There's a new Web Developer menu in Firefox 6, which collates tools for building and debugging Web sites into one location
  • Scratchpad tool, which browsers like Opera and Chrome have had for some time. It allows developers to test JavaScript before implementing it. The web console feature also has a new auto-complete option and can have its location customized
  • 10 major security fixes, including "a WebGL crash, a JavaScript crash, a crash in the Ogg reader, memory safety issues and unsigned scripts. These all affected Firefox 4 and 5.

  • yay, Firefox 6 supports the latest Websocket spec, and finally added eventsource support - long overdue! downloading.

The bird has moved 150 kilometres further north within the UK in the last 40 years, in response to the changing climate.
  • Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at York University and leader of the project, said: "These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away from the equator at around 20 centimetres per hour, for every hour of the day, for every day of the year.

And while Cetti's warbler – a small brown bird that belies its loud song – moved northwards, the Cirl bunting moved south within the UK by 120km, a victim of intensified agriculture.
  • The research team analysed data from a variety of studies, most of them from Europe and North America, finding more than 2,000 examples of how animal and plant species have adapted by moving their habitat.

  • coastal Primorsky Krai, along the Sea of Japan.
  • Large sharks have been sighted in the region only rarely, scientists said, and attacks until now were unheard of.
  • The first victim, a 25-year-old computer programmer, had been out for an evening swim with his wife on Wednesday at a popular vacation spot near Russia’s border with North Korea.
  • “It was only about 300 feet,” Ms. Udovenko said, according to the Interfax news agency. “About halfway there, Denis noticed something in the water and screamed, ‘Swim faster, it’s a shark.’ ”
  • Late on Thursday, the Russian news media reported a third attack, citing local residents, though officials did not immediately confirm it.
  • Witnesses gave varying descriptions of the shark, putting its size at 6 to 12 feet long. After reviewing the accounts, several scientists said they believed it was probably a great white.
  • That body of water is home to seals and other shark prey, but not in sufficient densities to sustain large sharks. A hungry great white, lacking its typical prey, Dr. Astakhov said, “could certainly have attacked a human.
  • Another draw for a great white might be water temperature. The waters in the region have been several degrees higher than normal, making a more attractive environment for great whites, according to Mr. Zgurovsky.
  • Russians’ blasé attitude toward danger is a source of national pride, and despite the ban on swimming, local news media reported Thursday that beachgoers continued to take to the water.

  • Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple
  • Mozilla is having issues especially with Apple
  • heading into a direct confrontation with the mighty Jobs.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.
  • competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”
  • That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention
  • “There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”
  • Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.
