  • Seen elsewhere: New features since Firefox 0.9

    Once again, Neil Turner has the low-down on the new features in the next incarnation of Mozilla Firefox.

    Read More on new Firefox features at his weblog.

  • Better UI for blocked popups in Firefox

    Another new feature (available in nightly builds from today): a XP SP2-like yellow bar appears at the top of your Firefox window's viewport notifying you of blocked popups. Click on it and it gives you similar options on whether to allow the popup(s).

    Here's how it looks in Firefox:

    And this is how it looks like in IE with XP SP2 (Release Candidate 2) installed:

  • Half Life 2 system requirements revealed!

    Via Eurogamer via Neowin.net:

    But for those who want to see the game running in all its glory, be prepared to spec up to around a 2.4 GHz machine, with 512MB RAM, Windows 2000/XP and a DirectX 9 capable graphics card.

    2.4 GHz machine - check
    512MB RAM - check
    Windows 2000/XP - Duh!
    DirectX 9 capable graphics card - check

    Looks like I don't have to upgrade (again) for Half Life 2.

    Man, could you believe I actually posted a blog entry on the specifications of a computer game? But then again, we're talking about Half Life 2 here guys.

  • Online promotion of software products

    Another call for help and advice. I can't really resist it because I've been seeing so much success in my appeals for assistance before.

    I'm looking for advice/articles/tutorials on online promotion, more specifically online promotion of software products.

    At the moment, I have these on my list of things to do:

    • Google Adwords
    • Submission to software listing sites
    • SEO

    What else is there and why?
