For those of you waiting to hear back about the opening here I've started calling a few guys back and will be emailing all the guys who made past the first cut in the next day or two. (Gotta keep you guessing!). If you dont hear back from us by the end of the week chances are you didnt make it. I do want to thank everyone who sent in an application. It's very obvious many of you are passionate about the topic and as tempting as it is to take a risk on a few of the guys without much experience but obvious drive we just cant afford to do that. Sucks.

- ESRB catching hell
- MS loses a dude to Google, sues
- Smurfie movie :(
- Sing while you drive, it's safe! But no Snoop
- FCC dude wants more broadband

Lastly, anyone work at an Aussie ISP? We need an Australian FileShack location and um.. really not sure where to start! We could probably get by with a 50-100mbit/s connection to start out. Drop me a line mate!

    it'll be in the top menu bar, usually by the little activity icon when it finds an upgrade...but i usually won't see it for a few days after an upgrade has been released...even if i specifically tell it to look for upgrades

  because app.updateInterval is set to 86400000, which i assume is milliseconds. that's 24 hours.

      you can change that in about:config
      
      or you can force a check in tools/options/advanced
