Opera is Free! What about Firefox?

I like Opera. I have used it before on Linux before Mozilla Suite started getting legs. Now that it is free I see people wondering, “How will this effect Firefox?” I think it is more like how will this effect IE.

Well, I see it like this.
1. Competition is good.
2. More base for Standards, forcing IE’s hand

IE needs a kick in the pants, and it is getting one. I will go so far as say it is irresponsible for Microsoft to insist on IE as a users first and default browser and have it be such a security hole, and non compliant.

I know that they are working on it, but other projects like Firefox, Opera, Safari and Konqueror seem to keep up in a much more timely fashion. Microsoft better step it up. If the turn out another, just ok, browser I think it is lights out for IE domination.

Free iPod? Does this work?

I signed up for an account over at freeipods.com. I have heard of people doing this and I wonder if this actually works. I am trying it because I want to talk about it on my podcast, Technorama.

To make this work, you have to sign up for an account, accept one of their offers, and get 5 friends to sign up also using your referral. I signed up and accepted the offer for the Rhapsody service which was only 99 cents. Just watch out for all the other offers for stuff as you are setting up your account.

If you use my referral code by clicking here, let me know, I will reciprocate.

I know this sounds like an piece of spam, but what do you do? I will probably regret putting this up.
