The initial round was won by Firefox 2, with 2 million downloads in the first 24 hours. IE 7 got 3 million downloads in 4 days, which gives something like 750 thousands downloads per day.
But now will enter Windows Automatic Update, which will boost IE 7 downloads number. But what matters for me is that user preferences are bending for the free, open-source browser, Firefox.

Everytime I look at my Google Analytics statistics, there is this article always on the top 5. That is a bit awkward, since it is an article about some changes I made to my blog: why is it so much important to people to all others articles, all this 8 months?
My first thought was someone with a heavy traffic site had linked to this particular article, so I went to Google and searched for sites linking to this specific article. There are no sites or soever linking to it. Hummm, that's strange.
Then I got it! The title of the article is Food Poisining, which has a typo: it should be Food Poisoning. This is a inocent mistake, and by definition, a common one, so I decided to give it a try, and search in Google for 'Food Poisining'. There it is, in a fine 6th place.
update: The article in question was updated with a message explaining the mistake people are doing, and helping them getting the right way.

In the XXI century, one of the advantages of my anniversary day it's to find out the huge list of websites where, at least once, I ever made a sign in*. I guess is time for the annual cleaning.
*Yes, I put my real birthday whenever is asked.

This must be the ultimate online organiser. Well, in truth, it also works in offline mode, maintaining all the interface functionalities. If you have 7 minutes and 9 seconds to spare, take a look at the video:

A great site by Greenpeace, aiming the reducing of usage of hazardous substances in Apple equipment. They mimicked the Apple website, changed the colors to green, and added a strong environmental concern. The website also includes the Greenpeace version of an Apple ad. Brilliant.Posted by bordalix Mon, 02 Oct 2006 14:13:00 GMT
For those out there who had upgraded to the 10.4.8 Mac OS X version (available since last thursday, if I'm not mistaken) and have their computers shuting down without reason, the solution is very simple: boot the Mac in safe mode (press the Shift key while booting), wait for the Mac to boot (which can take a while, don't worry) and then restart it in normal mode. It worked for me.
