We already know that, despite a few remaining problems, Mozilla is the best web browser available (well, we enlightened folk anyway ;-) ), but here's another very cool feature - debugging web sites.

I've messed with this capability a couple times in the past, just to see what exactly it does, but I never did anything more than just skim over the surface of it. Well, I recently came accross this site, which gives a VERY thorough tutorial and using the debugging and development capabilities of Mozilla to their fullest extent. It's most definitely worth reading for anyone that develops web pages.

The tutorial can be found ere:

Yes, you read that right:

"Five-year-old Procket Networks introduced its first products on Wednesday: a pair of terabit routers for major telephone and Web service providers, government agencies and very tech-savvy businesses."

Oh, hell yes. I WILL have one of these in my living room. :-)

Sun has been testing AMD's Opteron for the past few months, and they seem fairly happy with it. No guarantee that they'll use it, but this story alone is good news and quite an endorsement for AMD.

It looks like the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) is no more, although that's not necessarily a good thing. The new Trusted Computing Group is basically composed of the same members of the TCPA, but now instead of focusing on the design and specifications of "trusted computing" (AKA Palladium), they're now focused on bringing it to market as soon as possible.



"TCG is a more formal group with licensing policy, a marketing budget, and a mission to push the trusted computing technology into a variety of devices."



Okay, now let's summerize:

• "formal licensing policy" => ream the end users
• "push the trusted computing technology" => force Microsoft's plan for total market dominance upon unwilling users
• "variety of devices" => there's no escaping it!

Crap.
