Okay, not that type of airbag! Rather a new and improved crash reporting application. This will replace the similar but rather out-dated ‘Talkback’ feature most users are accustom to when a Mozilla application crashes. Like Talkback, Airbag is completely voluntary, you can provided as much (or as little) information as you would prefer to disclose. But keep in mind the more information your willing to provide the better the chances of getting the bug fixed that caused the application to crash in the first place. More technical information can be found over at mozilla links Blog.

I had read about this ‘mobile’ computer earlier on CyberNet article from back in May. What is described as a cross between a desktop and a laptop. It is bit of a monster weighing in 18 pounds which includes the 20.1 inch display, 12-cell battery and full-size detachable Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with 10-key numeric keypad. Now it is hard to really grasp the concept of just how big this computer is when it is pictured by itself. Thanks to Laptop Magazine there are now some photos (such as the one to the right) which really put this computer’s size into…

Thanks to Ryan at CyberNet for this info. Mozilla has released a ‘Pre-Beta 1’ version of Thunderbird 2.0.

It looks as if Mozilla has given Thunderbird UI a bit of a visual refresh as well. First screenshot below shows the…
