Netscape Update Released (8.0.1)

Posted on by

As you may have seen Netscape 8.0 was released yesterday by AOL. The new version of the Netscape Web Browser was based off of Firefox 1.0.3, which many of you may remember had a couple of critical flaws.

Netscape has released an update to their new browser to address these issues. As with the first release, the release notes for the update contain almost no useful information what so ever. Thankfully, there is a security alert page tucked away in the Netscape web site which will tell you what security issues were addressed in 8.0.1.

Netscape 8.0.1 can be downloaded here. – If for some reason you are using Netscape 8.0, it’s highly recommended that you update your browser.

Google & AOL Show Off New Searches

Posted on by

News from the search world today as both Google and America Online show off some new search tools.

The first is Google Movie Search, which as you might guess will display movie listings. This also ties back to the Google Maps and Google Local searches. Considering it just came out today, it’s not that bad. Though it doesn’t really stand up to Yahoo Movies or Fandango.

As I said earlier, AOL also has a new search out. It’s their own version of the local search, and to be quite honest, I like it much better than what Google currently has. Maybe this will get the suits as Google, Inc. working on their stuff a bit more now. :p

AOL Really Kicks The Llama’s Ass

It’s amazing that AOLTW still can’t figure out why they are losing customers, and having to let employees go. Could it be because everything that AOL touches turns to shit?

Read more about the possible end of Nullsoft & WinAmp at OverclockersClub.com or BetaNews.com.

For those of you who forgot, AOLTW also helped to destroy Netscape. Thankfully, ICQ has managed to survive AOLTW so far. Given AOLTW’s track record, I’m sure that won’t last.
