I'm closing the site, but it stays online. Thanks for reading.

This is briefly what Acer plans for the rest of the year. The next AA1, with new Intel Atom N2800 processor, is named AOD270. It gets the Happy treatment too. Also scheduled for this year is a new Ferrari One, named FO300. I don't have further details. It's probably based on an AMD platform again, maybe C-60 APU, but more likely are higher performance APUs like the E-300 or E-450.

Google already announced the Acer Chromebook at Google I/O earlier this month. It got its own product page here, plus some higher resolution pictures at Amazon here. What Google didn't reveal is the product name, which is Cromia 700. And even though Google set a fixed release date, don't be surprised when the C700 misses it by one or two weeks.

It's not released yet, but will be later this year. FF6 is the first version to benefit from changes made by Mozilla to revert library requirements introduced in FF4, which led to problems with older Linux distributions. More details here. So when FF6 is released, the original instructions posted here will be accurate again. Just replace 3.6.17 with 6.0 in the download link, or let Firefox update automatically. I've verified it with the latest FF6 Alpha release, available from here.

Why am I posting this now, rather than when the new Firefox versions are released? I'm closing the site soon, and wanted to verify that the installation process keeps working for the next few versions. I'm reasonably sure the original instructions will last into double digit Firefox releases.

It's not released yet, but is scheduled for late June. Mozilla decided to dramatically alter its release process and to release new versions about every four months. It's quite similar to how Google handles Chrome releases. More details here. I've verified that installing the latest FF5 Beta still works as per the instructions posted here. So when FF5 is released, just search for updates from within the Firefox menu, or replace 4.0.1 with 5.0 in the download link to install it manually.
