the internet will be destroyed by 2012

I have yet to look into this deeper, but on the face of it, it looks very disturbing…

The consequences of ignoring this could be unimaginable…

Firefox usage continues to rise…

From Asa Dotzler’s Blog:

Firefox, now with 18.41% of the global browser market according to Net Applications, was the fastest growing browser in May.

The May numbers from Net Applications have been released to the public. The three notable moves, I think, are that IE has fallen more than 1 full percentage point in the last month, Firefox has gained nearly a point, and Firefox 3 pre-releases are very close to passing Opera’s desktop browser to become the 4th most used browser in the world.

IE continuing to lose market share is no surprise, but the 1.08 point drop is pretty significant for a one month period before the release of Firefox 3.

The Firefox growth of 0.65 points is the biggest monthly jump for Firefox in the last 7 months.

The most exciting change, though, is the Firefox 3 pre-release growth. Firefox 3 pre-releases grew .23 points in May — and without even maintaining that growth rate, it will surpass Opera’s desktop browser before Firefox 3 ships.

This is exciting.  I think Firefox 3 is poised to take over a lot of market share when it’s released this month.
