Firefox 3 has officially been released. In an attempt to break a new world record for the most coordinated software download on the internet, the people at Mozilla Foundations are organizing the Firefox download day.
Unfortunately, the server was hammered so bad that it went offline for the first few hours.

Coinciding with the release of Firefox 3, Google updates Google Toolbar for Firefox 3.
On this posting, I will be reviewing movies that I have not seen. As a matter of fact, none of any members of the general public has seen the movie. I’ll review it based on the online preview.
It’s an easy thing to review those movies, just like what Paul Thurrott is doing with his brilliant preview of Apple’s revamped and rebranded .Mac service; MobileMe.
How in the world Paul Thurrott knows anything about MobileMe? Thurrott is the last person you want to hear from when it comes to anything non-Microsoft. As a matter of fact, it’s painful to listen to Thurrott, because he sounds like a Microsoft PR person; if he is not one already.
For the love of whatever God you believe in, please stop your web-hit seeking babbles. You have not used MobileMe service, and no one should read or listen to your misleading opinions. You parrots anything that Microsoft puts out and keeps telling people that you are impartial. Don’t you remember that you actually published your opinions in magazine and on the Internet.
What’s next? You’re going to preview and review Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Maybe you’d convince your readers that Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a Windows 7 rip-off.

For the past few months, Panasonic HDC-SD9 owners have not been able to import videos from Panasonic HDC-SD9 correctly. The temporary solutions for Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 users was to install Perian 1.1 plugin.
With the release of QuickTime 7.5, Panasonic HDC-SD9 videos can now be imported using iMovie ’08, Final Cut Express 4, and Final Cut Pro 6.
It is recommended to update all the applications to the latest versions. QuickTime 7.5 is the most critical component to make this work.
I can only confirm this on the North American version of Panasonic HDC-SD9 (with 24p Cinema Mode). The European version (with 25p Cinema Mode) theoretically should now work with the Mac.
UPDATE:
Hans Eklundh left a comment and confirmed that the 25p PAL version (Europe) also works with QuickTime 7.5
