Mozilla .95 was released yesterday. It's major new feature is that you can now edit and save the source code of a page when you view it, instead of just viewing it like it used to be. And if you do decide to download it, also check out Optimoz which adds mouse gesture support to Mozilla. That lets you go back a page by just dragging the mouse backwards, or reload a page by dragging the mouse up and then down. It's pretty cool.

Here's an insightful article about how American media is dictating how we view the rest of world's reaction to our bombings in Afganastain, as well as how it is directing American policy. It has several extremelly good examples of stuff that the average public doesn't hear from the mass media. It's definitely worth a read to get a sense of the whole story of this "America on the Attack".

MSNBC has a story on how these Anthrax scares will kill snail mail. People won't trust it anymore, and instead will get just about everything through email. Of course packages will still have to be sent for the stuff that has to be phyical, but advanced notice and other various new features will help make those more secure. Makes you wonder how much longer the USPS can survive.
