What do I think about Firefox3?

My husband downloaded the new Firefox3 as soon as he was home from work. I hadn’t given it much thought. I’ve been pretty happy with the Firefox I was using. He was quite excited and telling me about all the features. As he launched into another excited explanation, I knew I’d have to try it myself!

I started surfing with Firefox3 last night. Today I’m using Firefox3 for all my regular online things. So far I’m really enjoying the new features. The add-ons and plug-ins are definitely interesting! My favorite one so far is Clipmarks. Instead of bookmarking entire pages, Clipmarks allows you to highlight and clip specific sections of text and pictures. I’ve only a clipped a few things so far, but I really like the ability to clip and share specific text/pictures with friends and family. It’s also interesting to see what others are clipping (you can make your clip public or private).

If you haven’t tried Firefox3 yet, it’s worth the time to check it out! I’m really enjoying it so far (my husband is probably going to say, “I told you so!”)

Music, Movie and Game Downloads–Too Good to be True?

thia76 — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:41:57 +0000

I wanted to surprise my husband with access to unlimited music, movie, and game downloads.

I began searching for a site that would be easy to use, inexpensive, and safe.
I did not find many download sites that offer music, movies and games.
I wanted one site, not three separate memberships or subscriptions.

I was really excited when I first saw InternetDownloads! See it for yourself.
At a glance, I could see the features I’d been looking for:

Key Features included:

over 9 billion files
no per-download fees
no burning fees
no download limits
MP3 & iPod compatible

I also read the testimonials, frequently asked questions, and bonuses section.

InternetDownloads offers one month, one year, or unlimited/lifetime membership.
All memberships are entitled to a 60 day full refund guarantee. Read more about it.

Yes, I’ll try it!

Then the tiny blue disclaimer seemed to jump out at me! What?

The disclaimer explained that sharing is not illegal, but you need to share responsibly.
InternetDownloads offered a link to copyright information and tips for sharing safely

I’m not yet comfortable with P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing, so I will continue my search.

Hope this information is helpful. Please let me know what you think about InternetDownloads and P2P.
