The Morning Reboot:
- Microsoft is touting some new news readers that use Vista technology to deliver headlines to your desktop. Both Forbes and Hearst have released applications that rely on the .NET 3.0 technologies available in Vista.
- It appears that Mozilla is about ready to release a minor Firefox update. The official Firefox page still lists 2.0.0.1, but a poster in the Neowin forum has links to Firefox 2.0.0.2, including the thus far blank release notes page. Keep an eye on the main Firefox page as we expect this to be live later today, with the new version bringing some much needed bug fixes.
- There's something strange going on over at Flickr. Users have reported strange photos showing up in their photostream, including in some cases pornographic images. The Flickr forums has a post on the issue which appears to have been caused by internal server problems. [via CNet]
- A new blog has joined the Wired Blogs family. Danger Room will be covering security and weapon issues and tech, but isn't afraid delving into topics like spear wielding chimpanzees (I also love that the auto-title-truncation of our blogging tool renders the permalink for that article: “chimps_new_arse.html”).
