Mozilla has just released the beta version of Firefox 3.1 and it has some new features that users would be interested in.  The beta version has a new 3D tab interface. The Javascript performance of the new Firefox 3.1 is exceptionally better with the new TraceMonkey engine, although users would have to enable it says HDMI review.

Our own fax service

Technology

My secretary has an AA business. I have an MBA. You would have thought that with that difference I would have been the one to discover the savings that could be effected by having our own on line fax service. We were leasing a fax machine, buying our own paper, our own ink, and paying for a separate phone line. For this we sent less than ten fax a month and received about twice that many. Today, with My Fax we pay $10.00 a month, use our computer and printers and have one less phone line. Our fax usage has not changed but our cost of doing business has.

No Blu-Ray on Xbox.

Technology

A Sony representative was once quoted as saying that Gears of War 3 will have to be released on Blu-Ray. However, Microsoft has repeatedly denied reports that it is going to develop a Blu-Ray player for its Xbox 360 console. Xbox 360 Blog recently featured an article about Blu-Ray and the Xbox 360’s aging DVD system. The fact that Microsoft must currently pay Sony royalties if it ever developed a Blu-Ray system might be a primary deterrent to them integrating this technology.

The best route for a growing company to take when it is need of new servers is to invest in high performance servers.

They may cost a little bit more up front and to maintain, but the performance they afford is unprecedented.

Where should I submit my resume?

Technology

I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out which would be the best job search websites for me to post my database administrator resume on.  I don’t want to waste time putting it up on websites where I wouldn’t get any hits from employers since I am a very busy person.  Where do most employers go to look for this type of employee? Do they use the large, general job search websites or are there some specialized websites that they are more likely to check out first when they are looking for new employees? I don’t want to miss out on a good website.
