Today is the official release day for FireFox 3. At the SpreadFireFox website, they have a big spread about breaking a world record for downloads. Too bad when you click thru to download the new version they are still presenting a link to download version 2.x. I was successful in getting version 3 by hand editing the URL. This is the URL I used to grab the new version for Windows.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US

Almost forgot to mention the websites in question have been up and down for over an hour now. You would expect if they want to set a world record they would make sure they have sufficient backend to cover it.

Anybody else had success?

MarketingVOX is pushing a news story about Google getting it’s wrist slapped by the French court, that from all accounts appears to be over three years old. In the story they cite a CNET piece entitled “Google loses trademark case in France” that dates from February 2005.

Am I missing something here?
