Google Toolbar 2 for Firefox released

Google Toolbar 2 for Firefox released:
Google has finally released version two of their browser toolbar for Firefox. The new version picks up on some of the features that have been in the latest version for IE for some time, but as they state on the Official Google Blog, Firefox and IE users have different needs, so there are some differences between the two toolbars.

Luckily, it appears that everything I was hoping for is there, including spell checking (including a new 'autofix' feature), Send from Gmail which intercepts mail links online and allows you to use Gmail as your mail client rather than popping up another mail client's window, and some classic features like the ability to go up a level, AutoFill in online forms, and of course the famous PageRank indicator.

Of course enterprising Firefox users have probably found ways to replicate most of this functionality using other extensions. But it's nice to get the 'official' one from Google,"

Microsoft Responds to Boot Camp

Microsoft Responds to Boot Camp: "Microsoft has responded positively to Apple's Boot Camp, stating: 'Windows is a great operating system. We're pleased that Apple customers are excited about running it, and that Apple is responding to meet the demand.' Apple, in the meantime, stated that Apple will never sell Macs with Windows pre-installed, while VoodooPC's CTO wonders what Boot Camp's implications might be. And on a related note, VMWare's CEO confirmed that they are working on a version for Mac OS X on Intel. Update: According to AppleInsider, Apple will rename its iBook line to MacBook, and launch them near the end of this month. The MacBook will sport Core-Duo processors, 13' widescreen, built-in iSight, and Front Row/remote."
