Importance of Updating Your Browser
With the release of Firefox 3, Mozilla hoped to make Firefox 3 safer than other Firefox previous browsers. But for those who still have Firefox 2, Mozilla release an update that would fix several security flaws. Flock, a social browser built on Mozilla code just releases Flock 1.2.3. Flock 1.2.2 fixed Mozilla 2 flaws. Internet explorer has also included antimalware protection in its upcoming IE 8 beta 2. Firefox 3 already has the antimalware protection. As of today, Safari which is known for its low RAM usage hasn’t included the antimalware protection in the browser. Apple would probably include this in Safari in the future, if it wants to participate in the browser’s war.
Browsers will always be vulnerable to attack. The coders just have to keep up with the attackers because I doubt if the coders want to trade security for accessibility. For instance, I know activeX can be used to attack IE. But if you disable active on IE, you would not be able to view some videos on some sites which you like. The only way to prevent an attack on the browser is to update the browser when a security patch is issued out.

Odd Way of Writing a Stumbleupon Review
Stumbleupon is a way of getting traffic to your blog. If you are discovering a post, you have to write a review. If you don’t feel like writing a review, but you want to discover the post just highlight the part of the post that you like and click on the stumbleupon toolbar (I assume you have the toolbar installed on your browser).
After that you fill out the topic , tag it and choose Adult or none Adult. And you are done with your review.

Submitting Your RSS Feed (2)
In my first post about submitting your rss feed, I wrote about using a software. This post is about manually submitting your blog rss feed to Rss Hugger. Rss Hugger is a rss feed site. It has its own ranking of Top 100 blogs. The ranking is done by the amount of visitors you send to your page. The more visitors you send to your page, the higher you will rank on the Top 100 page. To be fair, the Top 100 blogs page is reset to zero at the beginning of every month.

Submitting Your RSS Feed
I have read from other blogs that one way of increasing your blog popularity is by using sub
mitting your rss feed. This will help you to gain subscribers to your feed and will also give you backlink. When you visit sites that show their feeder burner widget to have like 100 or 300 reader, I believe that like 30 of those readers are from their rss feed. I am saying this because my former blogspot blog has like 11 readers with no post in it. I put all the post in draft mode. As this blog is a tech related blog, I would to use a software to submit my feed. I found a software called Free RSS submit. This software is a trial version. It only submits to 10 rss feed instead of the 79 rss feed it has. It will submit to all the 79 rss feed only if you buy the full version. But you can still get it to submit to all the feed.
Using the software
1. Download, install and launch the software.
2. Click on Feed menu -> Edit 
Fill out the information and click OK.
3. Then click on submit 
4. Then a pop up window tells you to buy the full version. If you want to buy the full version click on “Yes”. But I just began blogging, I haven’t made a dime so I choose “No”. It will submit your site to just the fist check rss feed (by default, all the rss feed are checked). When it has submitted to the 10 feed. I look at the feeds it submitted to and uncheck them from the site menu. Then I go to step 3 by clicking on submit. The free RSS sumbmit will now submit to the next 10 rss feeds.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4, till you have submitted to all feeds. Check your email for any emails.

Reading Your Textbooks Online
Colorado Community Colleges Online just signed a deal with the Pearson Publishing Company to grant college students access to their schools’ required textbook online for a fee of $49. This is not a bad deal but the party that will profit more from this deal is the publishing company, Pearson, because basically, they will cutback on the production of the books. This deal is not clear because it doesn’t state if the student is allowed to download the book and save a copy for her. I believe this deal is good for small books i.e. books with small pages. Books with a lot of pages will be a pain to read. It is because you cannot reference to a page as quickly as possible if it was in hard copy. This deal is good for science subjects such as chemistry because it would Pearson would like to provide interactive diagrams to aid in better understanding of a concept. For instance, chemical bonding would be explained better through interactive diagram (I used chemical bonding as an example because I basically memorized the bonding with no understanding of how bonding occurs). Weighing both negative and positive effects, I would choose hard copy over electronic copy. I hate reading long post or topic online. I would become less interested and wander away.

Firefox is bestowed with download record by Guinness
Guinness World Records recognized Firefox as the most download browser on a day. This was Mozilla’s goal to have the most download browser on a day. Guinness World Records has credited Mozilla for officially setting a record for downloads in a 24-hour period: 8,002,530 copies of Firefox. As of June 2008, Net Applications, which base on statistics on actual usage at various major search engines gave Firefox 3 2.31 percent market share for the entire month of June, compared with 4.28 percent for Safari 3.1, 16.13 percent for Firefox 2, 26.38 percent for Internet Explorer 6, and 46.45 percent for No. 1 IE 7. Firefox deserve to have higher market share. The competition between browsers is pretty much intense. For instance, Flock, a self proclaimed social browser just released Flock 2. Flock 2 has all the new improvement of Firefox 3. I believe Firefox 3 market share would rise because Firefox 3 was releases in the middle of June. June 1- 16 was not accounted for. To enhance your Firefox 3 experience, there are add ons you can install. The add ons can be located here.
