Firefox fans - arise! (Bonus : An iPod story)

Well, according to this story on ArsTechnica, Firefox 1.5 should be released later tonight for the general public.

To quote from the article :
“Firefox 1.5 includes a large number of critical new features and bug fixes. Users can look forward to complete support for ECMAScript for XML (E4X), drag and drop tab placement support, browser cache enhancements, massive improvements in rendering performance, a fully operational automatic update system that can finally do patching, and support for rendering pixel graphics (Canvas) and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).”

Happy downloading! (Be patient - it’s just a few hours away)

PS: I just had to include this. Seems like the iPod and cell phones just cannot get along. Anyone know a good lawyer?

Over the years I have had a lot of fun with my friends by trashing Mithun Chakraborty movies. Admittedly, the man was (emphasis on was) a great actor, his recent films leave a lot to be desired. Elaborate, you say. Well for starters - better dialogue! Here’s one to prove my point “Dikhne me bewada, daudne me ghoda, aur maarne me hathoda hoon main“.

Literal Translation : Look like a drunk, run like a horse, hit like a hammer am I. (Well, you can put it together.)

Secondly, his movies seem to lack an elementary knowledge of physics. Case in point : Our hero manages to race an electric current - on a horse - to pull his girl out of an electric chair!

But these small things will not faze fans of this gentleman. So, in order to bring the other side of the story to my readers, I present two fan sites sent to me by Kapil.

1) The Temple of the King
2) Random Thoughts of a Demented Mind

Enjoy Mithun fans, and remember - He is a Disco Dancer :)

Adios!
