"Intel to Buy McAfee for $7.68 Billion "

Well they got ripped off. no doubt they'll be passing on that load of shit to the consumer, hardware monitoring for your 'security' and protection. LOL who are they foolin'..oh yeh the dumb fucks who will buy into it.

"Mozilla to release Firefox beta 4 on Monday - Mozilla is planning on releasing Firefox beta 4 tomorrow with two major new features: hardware-accelerated graphics for Windows users and tab sets, or better known as tab candy"

Another shit addon gets infested into FF, Tab Candy Crap, another noob shit feature for the same kind of planks who would find 'Personas' theming crap useful when it should have just stayed as an option extension. Also hardware-accelerated graphics done with Direct2D ..only because Mozilla tards are lazy fucking idiots and instead of doing the better and more intelligent thing of improving the OpenGL supporting Cairo library better, went instead for the Microsuck Directx10/11 API, the same fucking one propriety based one MS will be using in IE9. It's almost like MS paid them I dunno what would be funnier, IE9 being faster than FF4, or the other way around. Not that it matters only a fucking idiot would use such lame crap like IE, its addons and extensions consist of fuck all just crap for good reason.

I still think Mozillatard corp are fucking stupid beyond belief to go this route, they have the advantage of multiplatfom Firefox on OSX/Linux and will be using Opengl on those platforms, but for Windows they choose to use Directx and to exclude the far bigger XP market it still has in favour of laziness and using Direct2d, I'm sure it will satisfy the dumb fucks who actually got ripped off on that vis7a scrap though, but doesn't do much in the way of paving the way for a better open source direction, and will only worsen the very things that made FF popular in the first place -idiots.

Anyway really stupid direction FF4 is going, kinda shows by the lack of interest in many popular addons devs not bothering to get involved.. even the change to the addons layout/ system is fucking pathetic and crap design for and by idiots. 'All in one Sidebar' at least enhances it in 3.x, but 4.0 everything is broken because of stupid direction they've gone in.

". FYI, hardware-accelerated graphics done with Direct2D will not be turned on by default.""

Partly because its still so fucking buggy and also because most GFX cards go into low power saving mode when on the desktop(though less so for shity vis7a and its crap looking Fail Aero mode is enabled (guess it kinda has to be on using themes without Aero enabled makes the shitted explorer shell look even more crap, at least XP visual styles look better than the 99% of the themed shit for vis7a). .. and a multicore CPU already renders webpages fast enough. Why bother wasting power using GFX card and overated microshit infested closed sourced propriety Directx garbage. Maybe when every page you comes acros a HTML5+spec webgame and a gazillian flying adverts infesting your screen, and shit loads more javascript infested crap wanting to load up and track your every site visit..

So yeah until there are more websites with wanting more complex shit going on in rendering a webpage (which no doubt will be happening as HTML5 beyond, but for now the modern multicore CPU is more than enough, [x]ms faster rendering on a complex page is still not worthy enough for GPU utilization, personally think the better direction is not everything being GPU rendered but instead only certain objects, like flash embeded objects get access to the GPU acceleration, otherwise its CPU based, its more efficient. Otherwise its just going to end up wasting resources. Especially if that GFX card is being utilized by other production apps that use the Gfx card, can't wait to see all the bugs and issues that causes by leaving open a browser in the background that also wants to now hog the GPU/memory resources. Probably less so for the simple users who only ever have a couple of tabs opened in a browser at once and find they've got a speed boost... for power users, having loads of tabs opened, GPU accelerated browsing won't be without its drawbacks.

FF beta 4 seems cool, I'll give it a go. Don't care much for persona's myself Koogle, it's more a subtle change. I did prefer the old system better. Don't care about the GL vs Microsuck 2D.. if it works, great. Video cards today afaik are optimized for DirectX not GL because most anyone that makes a game is going to make it for DirectX. I don't see why Mozilla or whoever should support GL in a browser.

McAfee being bought out. Ya I agree, Intel a bunch of morons. Only morons that would use this shit is businesses. Lot's of them use it, I guess so they can blame someone and because people have this false image that McAfee is good. I haven't touch McAfee in ages. It's a POS.

iPhone4, I am getting sick of their false advertising commercials you know where they show them video conferencing and shit. What total BS that it works that good. I've seen it and the quality and the service are nowhere close to those commercials. Can't believe nobody sues the shit out of them. Not to mention you would need a shitload of a data plan to support this all the time. In my country my providers rape you for bandwidth use.

Starwars deleted scene, first of all the video link doesn't work. Like that would persuade me to buy the Bluray or whatever. LOL! I thought they pretty much raped the shit out of this series with their past releases. I was hoping for the show to come to tv, a series but it's been postponed while they figure out a way to cheapen it properly.. sigh.

Lindsay Lohan Maximum Sexy, who gives a fuck. First of she's a god damn lesbian and second of all she's a fucking junkey. Remember that when you wack off to her pictures.. WTF is she doing in my Maxim magazine?! I think I will write the editor and tell em off. Get that skank out of my magazine!

" I don't see why Mozilla or whoever should support GL in a browser. "

I see every reason why they should, mainly its about improving an open standard than supporting and using a propriety one the only ever leads to more problems and people getting screwed. Mozillla have shot themselves in the foot, especially if IE9 actually not only improves on its performance and standards support which it is, but then also starts to attract developer attention to improve the defaulty shit Microsuck designed for the GUI front end and its poor assed features.

When you look at the number of businesses and consumer who are just fine with XPsp3/64 and see no reason to waste money upgrading to a sucky Vis7a release that offers nothing of real improvement to those who know better. Browsing is like the biggest application run on most OS, so GPU accelerated browsing with IE9/FF would be seen a plus...Mozilla are now directly competing with MS, when they could have really stuck it Microsofts sly marketing schemes of forceful upgrades, and offered GPU accelerated browsing to XP users aswel through Opengl which it already has better drivers for. To think they don't hold weight in forcing the likes of MS, Nvidia/Ati to improve OpenGL on Vis7a, when Firefox holds the biggest enthusiast browser market. As opposed to MS only holding the biggest dumb fuck share and business IT admin tards. They really could have made a change.

MS would have been pissed, instead Mozilla have helped MS by playing along with them in using MS own API for whatever lazy developer reasons. See Mozilla could have gone with OpenGL and even if they couldn't achieve 1st rate performance, like you'll see with OSX/Linux using opengl instead (it would have improved over time by the shear amounts of complaints users would have at both MS/ATi/Nvidia and Mozilla.. blaming the whole fucking lot of them for not doing something about it. They would still beat IE9 because most users would stick for the already better extensions/options and customization that browser has over all other browsers. Instead now I'll just be laughing when IE9 posts better GPU browser rendering scores than Firefox, and I'll continue laughing as Firefox loses market share to the likes of spy IE and Google spy Chrome. Total fools.

Who gives a shit Koogle, I certainly don't and neither do %50 of the market. Firefox is and has been the leading browser almost since it came out. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp. Firefox owns the browser market and most people hate IE. IMHO, only a fucking n00b uses IE anyhow. It's the shittiest browser around. I use it simply to update my OS because MS puts shit in their site to fuck up other browsers.

At one time business were writing apps that directly supported IE and then they pushed people in the office and customers to use IE. Well not anymore, that has changed and people use what they want and software is made to work on Firefox and IE. FFS most even works on that shit browser Chrome too. IE since IE6 didn't even support all the standards. I piss on IE. I use Firefox mostly myself. IE only when it's a ghey MS site.

EDIT: I think it's BS that IE8 is claimed to be the most popular. Different stats collectors around show IE a distant second to Firefox.
