Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!

Type “about:robots” on your address bar. This works on FF3 only.

Mozilla is dog slow today. Why? Because they’re launching Firefox 3 any time now.

Be a part of history. Download Firefox 3 today.

UPDATE: I just received an email (below) to tell me to start downloading. However, the whole Mozilla site right now is apparently under heavy traffic.

We all know that a lot of (if not most) web developers love using Firefox for development. Mainly because of its simplicity, community support and functionality to extend the browser using add-ons.

It is also not a secret that we know that 60% or more* of our web users are still using IE. Most likely, half of those are IE7.

Now, to even the game of preferred development browser (sort of), there is a new update for IE7Pro (version 2.1).

IE7Pro is an app to extend your IE7 installation adding lots of Firefox-like features which you (web developer) need.

The app might get you to use IE7 more for development. Really. Why? It packs tons of improvements to IE7 and extend it like Firefox.

Some main features includes

• Enhancement of IE’s Tabbed Browsing Capabilities
• Super Drag and Drop
• Mouse Gestures (ala Opera)
• Crash Recovery (yeah! we need this!)
• Save Page to Image
• Quick Proxy Switcher
• AD Blocker (finally!)
• Greasy monkey alike User Script
• Inline Search
• Spell Check
• And a lot more…

More screenshots after the jump.

So, do you want to give IE7 another shot? Or do you want to simply check out what IE7Pro can offer? If your answer is yes to any of those, then get the app directly here.

It might be worth your time.

*Based on sites I handle/d

Windows Live SkyDrive increased the free online storage from a measly 1GB to 5 GB. SkyDrive is also out of Beta. The free online storage from Microsoft is available for Windows or Macintosh computers with Firefox 1.5 or higher, or Internet Explorer 6 or higher.

Windows Live SkyDrive provides integration with Windows Live Spaces to allow users to add a module to their Spaces displaying their public shared folders. Windows Live SkyDrive also displays navigation links to different parts of Windows Live Spaces, including Windows Live Events for tighter integration.

The only thing is, there are still no desktop software tools (which I know of) that supports batch uploads to the online drive. And I bet you, it gonna suck uploading files one by one.
