Firefox 3.0's first beta has been delayed at least six weeks, Mozilla engineers said Sunday, and it now won't appear until the middle of September.
In a posting to the mozilla.dev.planning group Sunday, Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's vice president of engineering, suggested a revamped milestone schedule for Firefox 3.0, the next major update to the popular open-source browser. Among the changes: a postponement of the first beta, slated as recently as last week to debut July 31. It's not expected until Sept. 18 at the earliest.
"Based on this criteria, it does not appear that M7 will be ready to be called a beta," Schroepfer wrote. In his post -- which he described as a written version of verbal discussions held last week -- Schroepfer used

Microsoft Chairman and founder Bill Gates may have been overtaken on the world's richest list by Mexican telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim, according to a Mexican financial news service quoted by Reuters.
On this spring's Forbes list, Slim was just behind Warren Buffett, an investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, who had been second on the list for years.
Forbes reported then that Gates, who had topped its list for 13 years, and Buffet, were quickly losing ground to Slim. In April, Forbes reported that Slim had overtaken Buffet and was on his way to passing Gates.
A 27 percent surge in the stock price of Slim's wireless company, American Movil, in the second quarter, has put his worth at close to $67.8 billion, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The “new generation” series of certifications--Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD)--have lifecycle policies to ensure confidence in Microsoft Certification as an indicator of up-to-date, relevant skills on current Microsoft technologies.
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications will be retired when Microsoft discontinues mainstream support for the technology.
In general, mainstream support stops after 7-10 years from the product’s initial release; at this same point your MCTS certification will retire. Example: Your MCTS: Exchange Server 2007, earned in 2007, might be retired in 2016. Support lifecycle information can be found here:
It would appear the marketing powerhouse has done it again. The apparent lack of standard phone features, the fact that AT&T is the only possible service provider as well as a particularly elaborate and steep pricing scheme, was not enough to stop Apple from selling around 525,000 iPhones from 6:00 PM Friday evening through close of business on Sunday. Well done Apple; quite an achievement!
On the other hand, Apple's iPhone launch didn't go off glitch free: many users complained of activation problems with AT&T’s servers and were forced to activate through iTunes. "We are working on any issues on an individual basis with customers who were impacted," said Michael Coe, a representative for AT&T. An Apple spokesman said: "There are a small pe
The game is on for hackers trying to spot security vulnerabilities in Apple's iPhone and already they're scoring points.
Less than 72 hours after the iPhone's introduction, researchers have reported at least one flaw that could allow an attacker some level of control over the device, while other hackers have uncovered passwords hiding in Apple software that could prove key in gaining root access, they said.
The most serious flaw, reported by Errata Security, resides in the iPhone's Safari browser. By effecting a buffer overflow in the application, an attacker can take control of the browser and run code on the device, said Robert Graham, CEO of Errata.
"The scenario that seems most attractive is to have the phone dial 900 numbers,"

This has been communicated repeatedly through Account Manager and Premier channels, just wanted to use this forum to repeat one more time through the formal statement below:

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which oversees domain names, approved the .asia domain name last October after beginning negotiations in late 2005. Now, DotAsia Organization Limited has announced that the first net addresses ending in .asia will be assigned towards the end of 2007. The non-profit group, representing countries including China, Japan and India, will start giving names to governments and registered trademark holders in October, and follow up with companies in mid-November. Potential registrants must be based in Asia, including Australia and New Zealand. Asian internet users can now use a name reflecting their country of origin but DotAsia wants "to become a nucleus, intersection and breeding ground for internet activity and development."
