Mozilla’s VP of Engineering just tweeted a picture of their latest cake, which is a little smaller than they’re used to, probably because Firefox 5 is a little smaller than we’re used to.

Just received the congrats cake. From all at Mozilla, thank you, Microsoft. We love you, too. :) http://img.ly/5k48

For reference, on the release of Firefox 4, Microsoft gave Mozilla this cake:

Very funny guys.

Just in time when students are set to return to school within the next few weeks, Microsoft has now made the latest version of its CAS-like Microsoft Mathematics software free to download, meaning that you can now make more advanced calculations on your computer.

The software replicates a fully functioning graphics calculator (or, what many students call it, a CAS calculator) and allows you to solve equations using the concepts of chemistry, calculus, algebra, physics and trigonometry. And for students, especially those doing VCE or HSC (or the equivalent), it may be helpful if you have forgotten your CAS.

That, or too lazy to get it out of your bag.

Anyway, it comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions and is only works if you are on Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2 or Windows XP SP3. It will also require you to install the .NET Framework 3.5, which is also a free download.

You can download it Microsoft Mathematics at Microsoft’s Download site.

In other news, Twitter for Mac (formely Tweetie) is believed to make Version 2.0 available exclusively via the Mac App Store, according to Razorianfly. The major key points in this update are a “redesigned UI, real-time update, native RT and drag ‘n’ drop tweets”.

Don’t forget you will NEED iTunes 9.2 in order to update iPhone. iOS 4 does NOT work with iPhone 1st Gen or iPod touch 1st Gen. And yes, it’s free for everyone. Even you, iPod touch user.

Ever thought whilst playing Left 4 Dead what the game would be like as an 8-Bit game? Well Mr. Eric Ruth has realised that dream by developing a free downloadable 8-Bit version of the game. >>>Download

‘Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead is a retro de-make of Valve’s hit zombie killing masterpiece.  Lovingly recreated in a fashion that would have been acceptable in 1986 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, this de-make stands as the flagship title of the upcoming Pixel Force series from Eric Ruth Games.  Go alone, or invite a friend for 2 player co-op against the zombie apocalypse in all 4 of the original game campaigns.  2 difficulties and all 4 of the survivors make a glorious 8-bit appearance, complete with first and second tier weapons scattered along your path to escape.  So, grab your controller of choice and kick back with an award-winning retro take on the end of the world with Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead.’

HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows.

While Google Chrome and Firefox are arguably the two most popular browser alternatives to the monopolistic Internet Explorer (sorry Opera and Safari fanboys), why not merge the two into some weird, yet “sexy” (according to one comment) twist. Introduce Chromifox 2, a skin for Firefox 3 that makes it look like the Chrome browser. While you don’t get the “tabs being separate windows” feature or the tabs being on the top, you will get the customisation features of Firefox 3.

Either way, Mac and Linux users will be flocking to download this – since Google hasn’t released a version of Chrome to work with Mac or Linux. You can find it here – but you will need to get an account since it is in “experimental stage”.
