Lawmaker's Son Indicted in Palin E-mail Hacking

"KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The son of a Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker charged with hacking the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has pleaded not guilty.

David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn., entered the plea in federal court in Knoxville on Wednesday. His father is longtime state Rep. Mike Kernell of Memphis."

David Kernell was released without posting bond, but the court imposed several conditions. Kernell, an economics student at the University of Tennessee, is not allowed to own a computer and can use the Internet only for checking e-mail and doing class work.

Trial is set for Dec. 16. Kernell faces a maximum of five years in prison, a
$250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release.

Firefox 3.0

Mozilla recently released the new version of their flagship product, Firefox 3.0. Internet users are turning to Firefox 3.0 for a safer and more productive online experience. Branded lovingly by Mozilla’s site as their “best Firefox yet,” the new browser has 15,000 improvements with all the perks of the original in tow. You may not know it yet, but Mozilla attempted to break a world record with what they branded as “Download Day.” The jury is still out as to whether or not they broke any records, but not surprisingly, more than 8 million people downloaded Firefox 3.0 on its launch date. Clearly, this is a browser worth looking into.

Daddy Connections
: "Mozilla has taken their award winning browser and raised
the bar. The new version of Firefox is faster, safer, and more customizable than
any other browser out there. Have a look at the new Firefox 3.0; it'll make your
Internet time even more productive!"

Firefox 3.0 creates a more personal experience. The new Firefox let’s you use the search engine of your preference. You can customize the built-in search to use almost any search engine you can imagine, including, Google, Yahoo, Amazon.com, Answers.com, Creative Commons, EBay, and Wikipedia. To modify the default search engine, click the icon to the left of your search bar and view the menu of default options.
In addition to the features already offered with the standard Firefox version, there are over 5,000 add-ons to choose from. To tweak your enhancements, go to Tools and select Add-ons. In the Add-ons Manager, your inner-geek will delight in finding and applying programs like Shareaholic (a program that allows you to share, bookmark, and email Web pages with ease).

Windows XP: The future

"The Future of Windows XP

Last year you told us you weren't quite ready to say goodbye to Windows XP. We listened. That's why we delayed our plan to stop selling it until June 30, 2008.
We love that you love Windows XP. We've seen it on our website, in e-mails, and through independent online petition drives. Our engineers work hard to build innovative software that empowers our customers. It's nice when you tell us we've made a difference."
