Fx is predicted to hit more than 21% market share in Dec, IE will drop below 69%. Of IE versions, the biggest loser is IE6 and IE7 isn't gaining marketshare, only IE8 is gaining marketshare but not fast enough to offset the net loss for IE6 and IE7. There is also a conclusion that Fx is picking up more IE users than any other browser out there, out of every 3 users leaving IE 2 of them are picked up by Fx. Safari and Google are also enjoying marketshare growth, while Opera not so much.
Recently I've bought the BEST BOOK EVER, and I've just finished Chapter Six. I can describe the book as simple EPIC, and it is really helping me grasp a topic very dear to me, and that is inner working of an OS.
Chapter 6 discusses the boot process of Unix 6th Edition on the PDP11, the source code accomponied with the commentary had this interesting comment:
And then followed by three short but very cryptic lines of C code. The book's author describes the lines as enigmatic and leaves explaining them to later in the book, but when reading the source code I couldn't help not laughing.You are not expected to understand this.

The rumors are rumors no more. Evidence seem to indicate that next year Microsoft, in partnership with nVidia, will be bringing a new gaming oriented zune phone, this ZunePhone should be announced at 3GSM, and will function to do one thing, replace WinMo devices, and maybe lure Apple and Google haters.
Microsoft once again is backstaping its business partners. Just like it did with its PlaysForSure partners when it introduced its own media player failure, the Zune. Not just its partners, but thousands of PlaysForSure consumers found themselves owning MS-DRMed music that the Zune can't play!
