Firefox 3 downloads hit 7m despite server FAIL

@ Dom McIntyre

Unfortunately for desperate firefox apologist Dom McIntyre, Adobe's claimed figures were published long before mozillas pathetic hyping of their record attempt.

e.g http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Adobe-Floating-on-AIR/

http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/07/2320000000-flash-player-9-installs.php

Whichever way you try and spin it, firefox's download record is at best dubious and at worst blatantly dishonest.

7 million in 1 day not impressive

Adobe serves over 8 million downloads of flash player every day of the year with far higher peaks on new release dates.

O2 gets UK iPhone deal

Re: Andrew Thomass

What is it with apple fanboys, quite obviously and proveably the iphone is a retarded overpriced plastic bauble for posers, hairdressers, nancy boys and designer-spectacled Nathan Barleys.

- rubbish camera

- rubbish connectivity

- browser is sub mini-opera, sub a lot of other mobile browsers

- overpriced

- poor 3rd party support

- touchscreen is clunky (wait until you actually try it)

The big shiny screen though is ideal for the average end user to adjust their gelled quiff in the reflection before entering their local cafe for a mochachino, and its glint will hopefully easily attract the eyes of lurking criminals to administrate a stiff (and well deserved) beating, and henceforth robbery of said device on the streets near to apple stores.
