  Firefox 3.5 Out: Loving it Already

  I am not a normal PC user by a long shot since I use a Linux distro called Arch Linux. Since this is my main computer when at work and home, I have always used Firefox as the main browser to get around the web. The linux version of Firefox 3.0 was ok at times and had some opening/closing problems which were a headache but after downloading Firefox 3.5 today, I couldn't be happier with the progress Firefox is taking.

  Some key features about Firefox 3.5 that are noteable:

  • Support for the HTML5 and elements including native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis encoded audio.
  • Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
  • Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
  • Much, Much More at: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.5/releasenotes/

  Those are just some of the overall improvements of the browser itself but nothing compares to the Add-On's that you can install for this browser including Themes, Appearances, Download Management, and Feeds, News & Blogging to name a few. I would recommend Firefox to anyone who wants a browser to be their own. Download the newest version 3.5 today.

  How Nerdy Can I Be?: Playing Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

  If the title was long or nerdy enough for you, buying it as a console arcade game on the 360 could take the cake.

  I was never a player of the game but did enjoy watching people play and of course, the pictures on the cards were really well done. I was one of those closet Magic: The Gathering types.

  Now that this game came out for the 360 arcade, I couldn't resist buying it and filling that urge to learn.

  The best thing about this game is fact that it caters to 'beginners' like myself with an easy tutorial mode, challenges to help with some advanced combinations of winning and a mode called 'Mentoring' which allows you play with some who should have a higher knowledge of the game to help you learn more.

  The game isn't about graphics but is still sound enough to capture the gaming feel.

  Playing card games on a console does sound 'unholy' at times but having this game has helped me understand a world that was seperate from my own. Now I can say I am now a computer and magic nerd!

  Cross Edge Review: What Went Wrong?

  I was looking down at my reviews and noticed that my newest review of Cross Edge is already at 0 of 4 users agree with the review. I don't mind that no one likes the review but I want to know more of 'why' it isn't helpful.

  If anyone that reads my entries and have read my review of this game, could you write me a comment and say why it isn't a good review. Is it to long? Is it to descriptive? What can I do to improve that review so I can make better ones?

  Thanks!
