The new major release of Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox 8, officially launches Nov. 8. However, as usual, it’s available to download on Mozilla’s servers a bit early, meaning you can install it right now. The Windows version of Firefox 8 is here, while the Mac version can be downloaded here. The new release comes only one and a half months after Firefox 7. This is in line with Mozilla’s new rapid release strategy, under which we can expect a major new release of Firefox every 6 weeks.

Apple Blesses Twitter, Makes It the Social Network on iOS Devices

Jack Dorsey may have trouble defining Twitter, the information network he helped to create, but Apple seems less confused. The highly valued technology company has built Twitter into iOS 5, essentially making it the default social graph and social network on Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. “We hear from a lot of our customers on iPhone, and iPad and iPod Touch that they love Twitter, so we want to make it even easier for all of our customers to use Twitter on iOS products,” Apple’s Scott Forstall said during the WWDC 2011 keynote. When iOS 5 is released this fall, device users ...
