What interested me today: Foxes on Fire in Futureshop.

By filsinger

During my lunch hour at work I’ll grab some left overs from the night before  and surf the intertubes, read my RSS feeds, and catch up on the news.  Two big things caught my attention today, so much so that I decided to write a bit about them.

Firefox 3.0 is Released

I love Firefox.  It is the most lightweight, secure, feature filled, open-sourced browser on the market and it has a wicked cool name.  Some local people over at SilverOrange helped them a while back with brand recognition and it sure has helped them out.  Firefox today is going for the world record for most downloads of one program in a day.  Help them out and grab yourself the newest version fresh off the presses today.  You can grab a direct download link HERE , hopefully that will work since their site is getting absolutely hammered.  If you’ve never made the switch from Internet Explorer, then this is definitely the time.  If you read this article, you’ll see there are a few good reasons why you should switch, and switch today.  I promise you, you’ll fall in love.

FutureShop will now be selling used games.

It was also announced today by BestBuy Canada that FutureShop will start to sell used games in their stores this summer. Starting with a pilot project of 6 stores in Calgary and moving to the rest of the country by the end of the summer.  They also promised to undercut EB games/Gamestops prices.  This is good for the economy, good for the gamer.  It’s always good to see healthy competition, that is what capitalism is all about.

So save up those old games, dig through your couch for some change and you might be able to land yourself some low priced gems at FutureShop sometime later this year.  Maybe I’ll do a post on the top 5 games under $20 when they finally launch it here in Charlottetown.

And that what was important to me today June 17, 2008.
