Google Browser Sync

> Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

More goodness from Google. They’ve been busy lately, but then, they’re always busy it seems. I frequently need something I’ve bookmarked at work when I’m at home, and vice-verca so consider it installed.

IEBlog : Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 (and more) Available

> This evening we released IE7 Beta 2 at http://www.microsoft.com/ie. This release is not the preview or the update to the preview, but the real Beta 2 of IE7 for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows XP 64-bit Edition. Simply: please try it.

It includes CSS fixes, QuickTabs, and loads of other fixes. Maybe it’s time to take a look?

> A little while ago, I received an e-mail from a lady in the Trading Standards department of a large northern town. They had encountered businesses which were selling copies of Firefox, and wanted to confirm that this was in violation of our licence agreements before taking action against them.

> “I can’t believe that your company would allow people to make money from something that you allow people to have free access to. Is this really the case?” she asked.

Tihi.. If you’re able to spread FireFox by selling copies, feel free, as that only lessens the burden on the servers and helps FireFox beat IE.
