"The entertainment industry has always kept a wish list of the kinds of draconian policies they'd like to see implemented in a fantasy world where nobody questions them or disagrees with their practices. Frequently calling piracy a virus, companies like NBC and Viacom have often pushed for copyright filters to be embedded in networking hardware or even anti-virus software."

"This week a landmark verdict was handed down to RealNetworks with deep implications for fair use and personal property in America. The ruling wasn't about filesharing, piracy, or malicious computer use. Rather, it was fight over whether users should be able to make copies of digital content that they legal own. And in a precedent-setting decision, the media companies beat a small software vendor and fair use advocates and laid down an imposing decision -- copying DVDs that you own is illegal."

"While still not as ubiquitous as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's new Firefox 3.5 browser was just released yesterday and is off to a great start."

"Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 is available in more than 45 languages as a public preview release intended for developer testing and community feedback. It includes new features as well as dramatic improvements to performance, memory usage and speed."

"Regardless of how you feel about Mozilla Firefox, it's quite fair to say that much of the change and innovation in Internet browsers in recent years has happened because of it. This guide goes through numerous configuration tips and tweaks for Firefox 2, covering all aspects of the browser such as the options menu, preferences, CSS customization, interface, extensions and more."

"Password Protector 2006 is a easy to use and very secure way to clean up password and user ID clutter, and makes having to guess forgotten passwords a thing of the past. Being able to use strong, safe passwords for all of your accounts that you don’t even have to remember is a definite plus, and even changing your passwords semi-regularly is made indrecibly easy to do."

"True Image 10 Home (£25.45/$49.99) is the latest version of Acronis’ file and system disk imaging backup and restore software for home and home office users. Building upon existing True Image Home capabilities, which allow for both the imaging of an entire system or file-based backup of individual files and folders, the updated software goes one step further and enables you to backup specific music, photo and video files, entire applications and e-mail files."

"The stylish Z-10s sport touch-sensitive buttons and an LCD screen, but how are they in the sound quality department?"

"This is an honest, unbiased view (or as unbiased as I can be). Unlike most people, I not only test all the browsers, I test them all on the same computer as each other - grouped into Linux, Mac and Windows (using the same or equivalent hardware for each). This, I hope, gives an accurate comparison, not only of the browsers compared with each other, but for those that work on multiple platforms, it also gives a fairly accurate comparison of the different optimisations for each platform."

"With the newest 2.0.4 release of OpenOffice, Microsoft does have some competition against its Office suite, while WordPerfect, on the other hand, will definitely have a run for its money. Although this article is not going to be a review for OpenOffice.org per se, I am going to use OpenOffice as a starting point to illustrate the crux of my argument: basically, there are great products available at no cost to the consumer, but the problem is that the average consumer doesn't even know these products exist."

"So how do the latest versions of each browser compare? For this prizefight, we looked at Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's first new Internet browser since 2001, and Mozilla Firefox 2, Mozilla's update of its popular Firefox 1.5 browser released in November 2005."

"The latest Web browser from Microsoft has been available for just over a week, while a new version of Firefox for the Web 2.0 age was released just yesterday. Available in Firefox for ages, Internet Explorer 7.0 (IE7) now includes anti-phishing technology to prevent fraud, as well as a built-in search engine manager - and about time! But has Microsoft’s complacency allowed Firefox to gain too much - although deserved - market share (around 11 per cent)?"

"Mozilla today released Firefox® 2, a major update to its popular and acclaimed free, open source Web browser."

"Firefox 2 Release Candidate 2 (RC 2), the latest preview release of the next version of the Firefox browser, is now available for download. Web application developers, our testing community, and users who want to get a sneak peek at the next version of Firefox should download and install this release candidate. Please note that at this time, users should not expect all of their extensions, plugins and themes from previous versions of Firefox to work properly."

"Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1 is a major step forward in ease of use and security."
