New Mozilla project releases
I won’t try to duplicate the excellent summary Jason has put up of the new Mozilla releases. I’ll just encourage you to go try them out. And if you’re still using IE and Outlook, don’t make me come over there!

SUV’s not that safe
Besides wasting gas, SUVs are not very safe according to a study reported on CNN. Mid-size sport utility vehicles are nine times as likely as passenger cars to be involved in fatal rollover crashes and twice as likely to kill the occupants of other vehicles in crashes, a government study says.
