“With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than before.”

It looks nicer , it seems to be faster, it has some new tricks that makes it smarter and although a possible vulnerability  was reported at a short time after it was releases since it affects also the older version some people think it was discovered before 17th and reported latter to gain more attention  (The Conspiracy Theory against the Download Day)

Sony Ericsson has officially announced its new Cyber-shot top model: C905 that features a 8.1 mega-pixels camera with image stabilization and face recognition. Also F305 the first member of a new portable gaming series that features motion gaming was revealed.
On the other hand it seems that P5 code named Paris and G702 code named BeiBei are canceled. It has been suggested P5 was canceled due to a large volume of criticism as it was based on an old architecture and the specifications were already deprecated .

AMD has launched its new generation of  graphic cards the Radeon HD 4000 series featuring the new RV770 chipset. The first model is HD 4850 that will be followed in a short time by HD 4870.  After first reviews, HD 4850 is quite impressive and  the conclusion is that the landscape of the mid-range to high-end GPU market is going to be shifting dramatically in the coming weeks

When you register with Yahoo, you automatically create a Yahoo! Public Profile page for each Yahoo ID and alias that you establish. You can create up to five different profiles with different aliases for a single Yahoo ID.
Yahoo Profiles gives you the ability to post personal information about yourself including your name, city and state, age, and email address, to name a few. All of this information is optional and all of the information that you choose to enter will be available for anyone to see. You can use any alias you have created on a variety of Yahoo! services including Yahoo! Chat, Clubs, Classifieds, Messenger, Games, and Message Boards.

But a regular profile does not act as forwarding e-mail address. this means you will not be able to get receive emails sent on your alias instead of your ID. Maybe you have different categories of contacts—like Personal and Business—and you’d like to separate the addresses you use with each. Having two accounts is not comfortable. Maybe you don’t like your old address anymore and you are stuck with it cause you can not change your username and you do not want to start a new account cause you would lose your old contacts. In this case you can create an extra mail address.

An extra mail address is a special kind of profile that you can use specifically with Yahoo! Mail.
It is a second Yahoo! Mail address that you can use with your existing Yahoo! Mail account. It’s not a separate Yahoo! ID, and it’s not a separate Yahoo! Mail account. It’s just another address you can use to send and receive email, and any messages you get go into the same Inbox you already use.

If you already have other profiles set up, you can choose to turn one of them into your extra mail address. At this point the extra address will act as a valid email address and will have all the features of a regular profile. You will have a single inbox for your yahoo email address and the extra address and you will be able to select the from one of them as sender address address when you compose a new email.

To create an extra mail address

• Login into your email account
• Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options.
• From the list on the left, click Accounts.
• The second section of this page is “Extra Mail Address.” Click Get Started and follow the instructions to create an extra mail address.
