Hi there!
This week, the Mozilla foundation announced that the release of
Firefox 2.0 has been delayed until 24 October, with a Beta 2 release scheduled for 23 August. The release schedule has been changed to deal with last-minute fixes. According to the Firefox team some of the bugs still being addressed affect refresh, panel preferences, spellcheck and anti-phishing features.
Airplane manufacturer Boeing has announced that it will close its high-speed broadband
Connexion service because of a lack of interest. Web users are crying out for more and more Wi-Fi hotspots, but in-flight Wi-Fi just hasn't caught on. The closure marks an expensive u-turn for Boeing's six-year project to put satellite-based internet connections on its commercial airliners. Most airlines, mainly in the US, held off buying the service in the hope that cheaper, cellular network-based web services would end up dominating the market.
