Firefox 3 Final is set to be released Tuesday, June 17th.
If you haven’t heard yet, Mozilla is aiming to set the world record for most downloads within 24 hours with the release of Firefox 3. You can check their progress here.
If you’re sneaky like me, you’ll already know that RC3 is live on Mozilla’s servers as of this morning.
But for those of you who are not sneaky, here’s a link to the Mac version.
Everyone else can grab a copy here.
I sold my iPhone. Yes, it’s true. But that’s not the insane part, the insane part is that I’m not planning on getting an iPhone 3G.
Not only is the monthly plan more expensive for the iPhone 3G, but I’d be paying for a service that I couldn’t use. There is no 3G coverage in Nebraska. At all.
A friend of mine who has connections at AT&T said that 3G was supposed to roll out this fall in Nebraska. If it does maybe I’ll reconsider.
Anyhow, I guess I’ll be switching back to an iPod touch for the time being.
I’m pleased to announce the release of ACU Theme, the latest and great from reader Ed Jim.
As always, you can grab a copy from the repo.

Steve pretty much just confirmed the 3G iPhone, says apps from the App Store that are 10MB and under can be downloaded over a cellular network… Oh really? Tried that on Edge recently?
Steve Jobs has just confirmed that the next version of OS X (10.6), will indeed be dubbed Snow Leopard.
More details on the OS later.
WWDC is tomorrow, and as always speculation and rumors are making the rounds like wildfire on the internet.
My WWDC predictions?
What are your predictions?
