Firefox Logo found on Google Earth/Maps
Is this where reality and virtual reality meet; the Firefox logo appears in a field. My question is: Can this be classed as a crop circle? If so, is Firefox the number one choice for aliens then? One more question: Are aliens trying to suggest that they will communicate with us via the interstellar network through Firefox -the web browser?
OK, this is getting a bit far fetched but this field is really out there, the logo of Mozilla’s Firefox. Here are the GPS coordinates: 45.123596, -123.113308

Microsoft Seems to copy other ideas & Paste as its own!
I have noticed that it seems that the creative department of Microsoft does no more than copy successes of very good ideas. Here is a list of products that I have found:
| Brilliant idea by original Company | Microsoft’s version developed later |
| PalmPilot | Pocket PC |
| Netscape Navigator | Internet Explorer |
| Mac OS X | Windows Vista |
| Apple iPod | Microsoft Zune |
| Google SE | Bing |
But in my opinion, it seems that Microsoft went too far when it chose to almost mimic Google (that’s the search engine aspect of it), as Google has affectively hit back announcing that they will create an operating system for computers, thus attacking Microsoft’s core business.
Now I do not think that this will kill off Microsoft in the same way but it will probably hit their sales, but there is one company that can make a dent in Microsoft’s armour that would be Google. Consider that Vista is being forced on us via the purchase of new PCs and I think most of us still prefer Windows XP to Vista, and Microsoft has recently announce that it will stop supporting Windows XP by 2014. SO this means I have not that long to come to terms with Windows Vista or some other OS systems like Ubuntu or the new one by Google.
I have to say that I am a fan of some of Microsoft’s products, and I use Google to search but tried Google Chrome (a web browser that came after Firefox that came after Internet Explorer that came after Netscape) and think it is not as good as Mozilla’s Firefox in many ways, even though it does have some clever features.
Competition is good for us consumers as it brings out richer products and services, I believe!
