The most known being the <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/" target="_blank">Firefox web browser</a>. On Tuesday, the Mozilla team launched version 3 of their flagship product, Mozilla Firefox. It includes many bug fixes and an enhanced bookmarking system (love it). Within 24 hours, Firefox wracked up over 8 million downloads making it the most downloaded software ever.</p> <p>The venerable <a href="http://www.winehq.org/" target="_blank">Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator)</a> project finally reached version 1.0. For those not familiar with Unix-like operating systems, Wine allows users to execute Microsoft Windows programs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris. It&#8217;s a must have for those who just can&#8217;t quite give up their favorite Windows software.</p> <p>This may not be considered a major release, but the folks at reddit have <a href="http://blog.reddit.com/2008/06/reddit-goes-open-source.html" target="_blank">announced</a> the open-sourcing of their social news website, <a href="http://www.reddit.com" target="_blank">reddit.com</a>. IMO reddit.com takes the best elements of both slashdot.org and digg.com and combines them to make something even better. Kudos reddit, Mozilla, and Wine!</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:17:00 -0700 urn:uuid:78b2b93b-0900-42d8-acf4-12728393c42c Ryan Baxter http://crunchlife.com/articles/2008/06/20/these-are-a-few-of-my-favorite-things Inspiration Life http://crunchlife.com/articles/trackback/69
