Miscellaneous. Mostly about internet though.

I had an epiphany just then. Instead of making several blog posts about different topics, why not combine them into a long blog post that covers all the topics I want to talk about? [end carcasm here]

That shall be exactly what I’ll do.

A short update on “Download Day”

Remember Firefox Download Day? Well, they officially made it a record.

We did it!

We set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours. With your help we reached 8,002,530 downloads.

You are now part of a World Record and the proud owner of the best version of Firefox yet!

If you contributed, congratulations. Now you can print off your nice certificate which does nothing.

That is all.

Comments, thoughts, and other things…

I have no idea why I post so late in the evening. Anyways, that is not important.

What is important is the figure to the left of this sentence. You know, the shadowy one in black on green. See that speech bubble? Someone’s saying something.

What a person says can directly affect what another person feels.

And what a person feels can directly impact on their mood and their actions.

This may not seem much, but it is. It just is. So if you have any defamatory comments, its just best to keep it to yourself.

Yep. Short and simple. Just like what my whole diary is going to be like.

Ergh, not another maths question.

Before it gets too random, I shall include… a video that users and haters of Windows Live Mail would have interest in. I found it interesting (because of the animations… not because of the contents).

ITIF says: Australia ranks 12th

According to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation’s 2008 International Broadband Rankings, which was just released, Australia is ranked 12th on the “composite score” of the subscribers per household, broadband speed and pricing.

South Korea, not surprisingly, came first. They have 0.93 subscribers per household, so nearly everybody in South Korea has internet access in their homes. Their speeds also crush those in Australia and the USA, at 49.5Mbps.

Following South Korea by just .87 in the composite score is Japan. Again, this is not surprising. Even though there are only 0.55 subscribers per household (I imagine they use Internet Cafes?), their speed surpasses South Korea’s at 63.6Mbps average. I wow at that.

Now we come to Australia’s speed…
