It’s not uncommon to hear stories of disgruntled AdSense publishers whose accounts have been permanently banned by Google either due to "non-compliance with AdSense policies" or for "posing a significant risk to AdWords advertisers."
The compliance issue is almost always related to content. For instance, if any particular website is centered around banned topics (like gambling or pornography), Google can disable AdSense serving for that website.
The next issue is more serious as it relates to "click fraud". No one obviously has a clear understanding of how Google determines "invalid clicks" but such an activity can invite an AdSense ban for life. There’s an appeal process at Google but again it doesn’t guarantee that your AdSense account will be reinstated even if you provide all the required details (like web server logs).
Aaron Greenspan was another happy AdSense user until he received an email from Google saying that his account has been cancelled.
" While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your AdSense account."
Aaron writes in Huffington Post that his AdSense account was disabled without warning and he literally ran from pillar to post at Google trying to reach everyone from the AdSense Customer Service to the Legal Team to Google forums but with no success.
If an AdSense publisher’s account is disabled for invalid clicks, he is not entitled to any further payment from Google and all the current earnings are returned to the corresponding AdWords advertisers. The same happened to Aaron as he had made around $721 from AdSense but the payment was stopped after the account was disabled.
With literally no options left, Aaron made a final attempt and filed a civil lawsuit for $721.00 (the amount Google owed to him) saying that Google could not prove any wrongdoing and that Google’s fraud detection algorithm was imperfect. All he had to pay was $40 as the court fees for this lawsuit.
The AdSense account was disabled on December 9, 2008, he filed the lawsuit against Google on January 15, 2009 and on March 2, 2009, the judge delivered the following verdict:
"I don’t think I have the power here in Palo Alto small claims court to make you reinstate his account, but I think you owe this young man $721. I think there might be money in Google’s treasury for that."
Google paid him all the "due" AdSense earnings along with the court fees though his account still stands cancelled.
I think a big reason why Google lost this case is because their lawyer couldn’t convince the judge about how "click fraud" was detected in first place. Google has good reasons to not disclose their fraud detection algorithms in public court cases but the fact that this decision went against Google could probably convince many more ex-AdSense users to follow the footsteps of Aaron.

Telecom tariffs may fall 25% this year
The mobile tariffs in the world’s cheapest telecom market are set to fall further by at least 20-25 per cent during the year, more so due to increasing number of telecom operators and infrastructure overcapacity.
With local call rates at 33 paise (BSNL) and STD rates at 50 paise per minute (most mobile operators), the country has the lowest telecom tariffs in the world.
To begin with, the industry is expecting the new licensees (including Loop Telecom, Datacom Solutions and Unitech Wireless) to commence operations in this year itself. This coupled with the expected expansion of operations of existing players like Aircel Cellular, Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservices and Reliance Communications (RCom) will have an impact on the mobile tariffs.
“Whenever new entrants commence operations in the country, there is a high chance of reduction in tariffs as they come in with innovative strategies and prices, including freebies. This will increase competitive pressure on other players who will have to launch similar products to compete in the market. Moreover, apart from tariffs, the price reduction would also be extended to handsets,” European handset major Meridian India CEO Rajiv Khanna told Business Standard.
Another reason is an expected overcapacity in towers. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) estimates that the country needs around 300,000 towers by 2010 to support the massive 10 million monthly subscriber additions.
At present, the sector has around 2,75,000 towers. Operators like Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone and independent tower companies like GTL Infrastructure and Indus Towers are increasing capacity and the 300,000-mark will be crossed much before the deadline, if not this year itself.
“The increase in the number of players will benefit the consumers in terms of newer enriched applications, choice and affordability. The on-ground traffic is increasing, but quality of traffic is not, clearly indicating that there is a need for more capacity. The tower infrastructure availability is going at comfortable speed. The industry will have to now think of ways and means of handling the increasing capacity proportionately, but more resource effectively,” GTL Chief Operating Officer and director Charudatta Naik said.
The recent slash in termination charges from 30 to 20 paise for domestic calls, which the operators have begun passing on to the subscribers, is also pulling tariffs down. Termination charges are the charges paid by one operator to another for terminating the calls on the latter’s network.
Moreover, the expected allocation of additional 2G spectrum and auction of 3G spectrum will also lead to a further rate cut. “The new government will have to allocate 2G spectrum to operators for additional expansion plans, while 3G auction will also take place immediately after the government coming into power. While some players would get 3G spectrum, others will slash prices to thwart competition,” a Mumbai-based analyst said.
However, the price reduction is not all that good. According to Idea Cellular Managing Director Sanjeev Aga: “Indian companies are rolling our predatory prices without conducting proper studies, unlike in the US or developed countries. Price reductions coming in from desperate companies are anti-competition and these are not based on economic sense, and in the long run this would be anti-consumer and anti-industry.”
In the short-term, it is the customer who will reap the benefits of the tariff fall.

Oracle Buys Sun Microsystems
Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Oracle Corporation has agreed to buy California-headquartered Sun Microsystems in a $7.4 billion (or $9.50 per share) deal. Sun's acquisition by Oracle caught many in the industry by surprise as the deal came just two weeks after IBM abandoned its bid to buy Sun. According to analysts, the deal strengthens Oracle's position against IBM and HP for dominance of the server and storage markets.
Kapil Dev Singh, country manager, IDC India, said, "The Oracle-Sun merger brings together two strong brands with strengths in software and hardware space with the combined entity aspiring to make a mark in the enterprise IT space. Sun's strong computing platform and Oracle's middleware and database platforms will make Oracle's IT infrastructure offering stronger. What brings added value is their consolidated face as part of the bigger IT infrastructure offering in an environment where individually these components are a commodity."
"Oracle-Sun's competitive positioning in telecom and BFSI space will strengthen as individually both players have a strong presence in these segments that contribute about one-third of India's domestic IT market. The challenge for the merged entity lies in how well it can convince CIOs keen on leveraging their IT investments that is completely a services play. With applications, middleware and hardware piece in place, the services capability seems to be missing. This is important considering that the IT consolidation wave in enterprise space in general, and telecom and BFSI segments in particular, is slowly giving way to IT leverage wave. This deal seems to be little late from that perspective," he added.
There are substantial long-term customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris. Java is one of the most widely deployed technologies, and it is the most important software Oracle has ever acquired. Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s fastest growing business, is built on top of Sun’s Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.
The Sun Solaris operating system is claimed to be the leading platform for the Oracle database, Oracle’s largest business, and has been for a long time. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle can optimise the Oracle database for some of the high-end features of Solaris. Oracle says it is as committed as ever to Linux and other open platforms and will continue to support and enhance our strong industry partnerships.
“We expect this acquisition to be accretive to Oracle’s earnings by at least 15 cents on a non-GAAP basis in the first full year after closing. We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined,” said Safra Catz, president, Oracle.
“The acquisition of Sun transforms the IT industry, combining best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems,” said Larry Ellison, CEO, Oracle. “Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system – applications to disk – where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Our customers benefit as their systems integration costs go down while system performance, reliability and security go up.”
“Oracle and Sun have been industry pioneers and close partners for more than 20 years,” said Sun Chairman Scott McNealy. “This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event.”
Jonathan Schwartz, CEO, Sun, “From the Java platform touching nearly every business system on earth, powering billions of consumers on mobile handsets and consumer electronics, to the convergence of storage, networking and computing driven by the Solaris operating system and Sun’s SPARC and x64 systems. Together with Oracle, we’ll drive the innovation pipeline to create compelling value to our customer base and the marketplace.”
The board of directors of Sun Microsystems has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer, subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Jab Raat K Tanha Lamhon Mein
Koi Aahat Mujh Se Kehti Hai
Is Dil Mein Halchal Rehti Hai
Koi Jugnu Pass Se Guzre To
Koi Baat Halak Se Nikle To
Main Khud Se Ulajhne Lagta Hon
Phir Jaane Kya Kya Kehta Hon
Phir Yaad Uski Aati Hai
Phir Pal Do Pal K Lamhe Ko
Yeh Sans Meri Ruk Jati Hai
Ek Sholah Dil Mein Bharakta Hai
Woh Dard Sehar Tak Rehta Hai
Phir Weham Mujhe Yeh Kehta Hai
Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
----------------------------------------
Dosti meri bas us gham se hai,
Mila jo mujhe sanam se hai.
Tujhse gilla nahin hai mujhko,
Shikwa is mausam se hai.
Humse kiyon chhupati chehra,
Tera husn bhi to hum se hai.
Mujhse aur door na ja too,
Meri saans tere dum se hai.
Mujhe aur kuch chah nahin,
Bas tu meri kasam se hai.

Tum agar meri saath ho DOST to

Muskurate palko pe sanam chale aate hein,
aap kya jaano kahan se hamare ghum aate hein,
aaj bhi us mod par khade hein,
jaha kisi ne kaha tha ke theron hum abhi aate hein.
************ ***************** *********
Yaad aaye to aankhen band na karna,
hum chale bhi jaaye to gum na karna.
Yeh zaruri nahi ki har rishte ka koi naam ho,
per dosti ka ehsaas kabhi dil se kam na karna.

Kitna pyar karte hai hum unse,
Kaash unko bhi yeh ehsaas ho jaye,
Magar aisa na ho ke woh hosh mein tab aaye,
Jab hum gehri neend mein so jaye

Jab Raat K Tanha Lamhon Mein
Koi Aahat Mujh Se Kehti Hai
Is Dil Mein Halchal Rehti Hai
Koi Jugnu Pass Se Guzre To
Koi Baat Halak Se Nikle To
Main Khud Se Ulajhne Lagta Hon
Phir Jaane Kya Kya Kehta Hon
Phir Yaad Uski Aati Hai
Phir Pal Do Pal K Lamhe Ko
Yeh Sans Meri Ruk Jati Hai
Ek Sholah Dil Mein Bharakta Hai
Woh Dard Sehar Tak Rehta Hai
Phir Weham Mujhe Yeh Kehta Hai
Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai
----------------------------------------
Dosti meri bas us gham se hai,
Mila jo mujhe sanam se hai.
Tujhse gilla nahin hai mujhko,
Shikwa is mausam se hai.
Humse kiyon chhupati chehra,
Tera husn bhi to hum se hai.
Mujhse aur door na ja too,
Meri saans tere dum se hai.
Mujhe aur kuch chah nahin,
Bas tu meri kasam se hai.
******* ****************** ******
=========================
Aajnabee se dost jub banati hai dosti,
Dil ke karib dil ko lati hai dosti
Sare farq bus yun hi mitati hai dosti,
Khushi aur gum mein gana sikhati hai dosti
Dost ke liye jina sikhati hai dosti,
Dhadkan ka sur ban jati hai dosti

Broken heart..
Lonely and hurt,
Broken I remain
Residing in hell,
living in pain...
Masked by lies,
I slowly fade away...
The nightmare I live with,
each and every day
The meaning of it all,
to which my mind attends,
Has not one answer
that I fully comprehend...
The bottom of my mind
holds the answers which I call,
I keep reaching towards it
in this never-ending fall...
"Stay strong and keep going,
it's never too late"...
No one seems to realize
that it's not worth the wait
There's no such thing
as help outside of your mind,
It's you against yourself,
with your demons intertwined
It's a battle, hard fought,
but never to be won...
Either way you end up losing
when it's all said and done
"Too late" came and passed...
and, of me, nothing more
I wrote my own ending,
and I shut my own door...
"Live your life to its fullest"
that's what they all said,
But what's the point in trying
when you're already dead?

How To Get Top Quality Products By Joining Paid Membership Sites
You will never be able to write enough original content in your entire lifetime to be able to rake in six or seven digit profits. It simply cannot be done. Nobody can type that fast. Nobody is able to do all of the research necessary to write E-Book after E-Book.
But you have heard of marketers who are able to turn those kinds of profits with “their own products” - so how do they do it? They take advantage of paid membership sites that allow them to download countless articles, E-Books and other graphical and textual goodies. Then they turn those profits into gold by aggressively marketing them to the public.
If you want to be able to make it big in the internet marketing world, unless you create some stunning web application like Google, MySpace, or YouTube you need to learn to use paid membership sites that are full of top quality products to your advantage.
No matter what kind of content you prefer, there is a website out there that you should consider joining so that you too can maximize your profits without having to do countless hours of grueling work.
How many times have you stumbled upon an amazing package of private label articles or E-Books with master resell rights that you know could bring you amazing amounts of gross profits - but you quickly realize that those items were sold out long ago?
You missed an amazing opportunity to turn an incredible profit with almost no work on your part, and you vowed never to have something like that happen to you again.
So you sign up for as many feeds and mailing lists as you possibly can in hopes that you will have first access to all of the hot new resell rights products on the market before anyone else - but it turns out that you miss a great deal time and time again.
If you are sick and tired of always finding out about great products too late, then it is high time for you to find a new way of going about your business. You need to get in touch with the authors themselves.
While a lot of people will recommend that you should instead join a membership site in order to have access to a massive database of content, you will still only have access to new content at the same time as your competitors - which is not really the best way to do business.
However, by going to marketing conferences and actually meeting many of the famous resell rights authors that you have read works from in the past, you will be in a much better position to learn what kinds of products are going to be released soon - and when they will finally hit the market.
This can give you a fantastic edge over your competition, as you can have your own fresh marketing site all ready to go as soon as you have access to the hot new product.
Even if you cannot make it to marketing conferences to meet the authors in person, try to get in contact with them through email or over the phone. Writers and designers love to have admiring fans, and if you can convince them about how much you love their work , they will let you in on secrets about their upcoming releases in no time.

Vaio Zoom::Future of laptop
Sony Vaio Zoom Concept is Exactly How We Want Laptops to Look in the Future.
This Vaio Zoom laptop concept is one of the coolest we've seen. Featuring a holographic glass screen that goes transparent and a keyboard that turns opaque when turned off, it's slick and beautiful. And sure, a touch keyboard like this would be extremely annoying without haptic feedback and screens like that don't really exist yet, but it's an interesting look at what we'll be playing with a few years down the line. Despite the fact that this isn't an official Sony concept, we still think they should work at making it a reality. Check another image after the jump.

Say hello to Gmail voice and video chat
I'm a big user of Gmail chat. Being able to switch from email to chat as needed, all within the same app, is really great for productivity. But people can only type so fast, and even with our new emoticons, there are still some things that just can't be expressed in a chat message.
that's why google has launched voice and video chat -- right inside Gmail. They've tried to make this an easy-to-use, seamless experience, with high-quality audio and video -- all for free. All you have to do is download and install the voice and video plugin and we take care of the rest. And in the spirit of open communications, we designed this feature using Internet standards such as XMPP, RTP, and H.264, which means that third-party applications and networks can choose to interoperate with Gmail voice and video chat.
Once you install the plugin, to start a video chat, just click on the "Video & more" menu at the bottom of your Gmail chat window, and choose "Start video chat." You'll have a few seconds to make sure you look presentable while it's ringing, and then you'll see and hear your friend live, right from within Gmail. You can click the "pop-out" icon to make the video larger, or click the fullscreen icon in the upper left-hand corner for a fully immersive experience. See this all in action in the video below:
They've just started to roll out Gmail voice and video chat for both PCs and Macs, so if you don't see it right away, don't worry -- it could take a day or so for this feature to be available in all Gmail and Google Apps accounts. If you want to download the plugin right away, visit http://gmail.com/videochat.

How to Watch YouTube Videos While Working on other Tasks
You plan to watch a lengthy video clip on YouTube but the problem is that you have lot of other stuff to do and therefore can’t focus all the attention on just one video. You need to browse web pages, check emails in Outlook and maybe complete that presentation while the video plays on your screen.
Fortunately, this is possible with a simple hack - just decide where that video should be placed.
You can either watch the YouTube video from the Firefox sidebar or, if you are working with other application or don’t use Firefox, create a standalone YouTube player window and move it anywhere on the desktop in Always on Top mode. See screenshots.
Case 1. YouTube Player inside the Firefox Sidebar
Case 2. YouTube Player on top of other Windows
Here are the steps involved for either of the methods discussed above.
1. Get the full screen mode address of the YouTube video clip. It is something like www.youtube.com/v/ABC where ABC is the YouTube video ID.
For instance, if the YouTube video is located at www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZ9z6BBMVY, the full screen player will be available at www.youtube.com/v/8bZ9z6BBMVY
2a. To watch the video in Firefox sidebar, bookmark that new YouTube address and check the "Load in Sidebar" property of the bookmark as shown in the screenshot.
2b: To watch the video in a standalone player, open a new browser window and copy-paste the YouTube address THAT you generated in step 1. Now resize the browser window to fit the player, activate the Always on Top program (download link) and press Ctrl + Spacebar to make sure that YouTube player stays in the foreground. That’s it.
Notes: While you may also use the regular YouTube video URL in either of these cases, the experience won’t be so great.
Open docx Files in Firefox without Office 2007
If you like to open .docx files without Office Word 2007, there’s a new Firefox extension from Microsoft that should help. Available for Windows as well as Linux machines.
Called OpenXML viewer, this plug-in (download link) lets you read docx files inside the Firefox browser just like any other HTML web page while retaining all the text formatting and layout.
There’s a command-line version of OpenXML viewer (download link) available as well for converting docx documents into HTML files that you may then open in any other web browser.
Other alternatives for reading docx files without Microsoft Office 2007 include Internet Explorer, Gmail, Email, Word viewer and the converter for Mac.

ऐसा था hotel Taj !
58 घंटे तक शर्मनाक और दरिंदगी भरी आतंककारी गतिविधियों को अपने सीने पर झेलने वाले होटल ताज के आंसू भी आम देशवासी की तरह ही नहीं थम रहे हैं। भले ही उसे आतंककारियों से मुक्त करा लिया गया हो, लेकिन वह अब भी खून के आंसू रो रहा है। आज सुबह टेलीविजन पर जब उसके ग्राउंड और फर्स्ट फ्लोर की नौ-दस खिड़कियों से आग की लपटें उठती देखीं तो कौतुहल जगा कि आखिर यह होटल अंदर से कैसा दिखता होगा। इंटरनेट पर खंगाला को होटल ताज की वेबसाइट पर इसके वर्चुअल टुअर (वीडियो) की सुविधा दिखी।
वीडियो देखा तो लगा कि मैं इस होटल के अंदर ही खड़ा हूं। आप भी देखिए कि यह होटल अंदर से कैसा दिखता था (पता नहीं अभी कैसा होगा??), इस उम्मीद के साथ कि यह होटल जल्द ही अपनी पुरानी शान पा लेगा और दुनिया को दिखा देगा कि लाख चाहकर भी आतंककारी इसका सिर एक इंच भी नहीं झुका पाए हैं।
यहां पर आप इस होटल के रेस्टोरेंट, बार, सुइट, रूम्स, बाथरूम आदि सभी सुविधाओं को देख सकते हैं।
काश पिछले 59 घंटों को हिंदुस्तान के इतिहास से मिटा दिया जा सकता!!!!!

Maruti A-Star::Review
Maruti Suzuki A-Star is a A-Segment car as per the European car standards. The car is produced from the company's Manesar facility in Haryana. Designed by Rajesh Kumar Gogu and Saurabh Singh of Maruti Suzuki India, A-Star, which is a five-door hatchback; has been engineered keeping in mind the trends and standards of the European market.
A star is to be made in 200 variants and will be exported to 150 countries across Europe, Middle east , Latin America, Asia, Australia, and Africa. A-star will be exported under the name of Suzuki Alto and Suzuki Celerio. Nissan also plans to market the same car under the name Nissan Pixo in middle East and African markets.
It has an all new KB-Series 998cc engine which is Euro 5-compliant with Co2 emissions and develops 67 Bhp of power with 90 Nm of torque. It has a bold design language with strong lines and large wheelarches. The interiors of A-Star feel a bit cramped in comparison to Hyundai i10. Also the colors used by Maruti look drab unlike i10's biege n black interior trim which gives a airy and spacious feel.
The rear passengers get very small windows - thanks to butterfly/wing design as it looks from outside. Also rear legroom is less for 6' tall people. From driver's point of view A-Star is a very comfortable car, the instrument cluster is quite big and all meters are easy to read. It also gets dash mounted tachometer which is first of its kind in this segment. The only drawback is that the height of dashboard is little bit high and may obstruct view of short drivers.
Like the swift Maruti has launched A-Star in 3 variants - Lxi, Vxi & Zxi. The Zxi model is fully loaded with these features:
1) Power windows.
2) Power Steering.
3) Remote central locking.
4) Driver & Passenger Airbag.
5) Anti Lock Braking System (ABS).
6) Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).
7) CD Player with 4 Speakers.
8) Dash-Mounted Tachometer.
9) Remote Boot & Remote Fuel Filler.
10) Rear Defogger with Rear Wiper/Washer.
11) Fog Lamps.
Click here for comparison of A-Star Variants....
Prices of three variants are:
(Ex-Showroom Mumbai)
Lxi - 364500.00
Vxi - 396500.00
Zxi - 432000.00
The all-new A-star aka Alto (as it is called Outside India) builds on the strengths of Suzuki’s unparalleled knowledge of small-car development. It combines eye-catching style and easy urban mobility with great performance in terms of high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. The new compact car offers lightness achieved through downsizing yet provides ample interior roominess and comfort.
For the compact body, Suzuki designer tailored a stylish, sporty and youthful look that simultaneously exudes solidity and urban energy. It is perfectly matched to European tastes and supports a low drag coefficient. With overall higher levels of quality, comfort, and safety, the all-new Alto is a response to the needs of today’s motorists.
A-star has replaced the present alto model in other countries. But in India Maruti is selling both the models side by side like they have done before with Wagon R and Zen Estilo.
A-Star is heavily toned down as compared to the Concept A-Star which made its debut in London & was also shown at Auto Expo, 2008 in New Delhi. No doubt that the newcomer is criticised for its looks since it looks as if styling has been taken of the Kia Picanto/Morning, Hyundai i10 and Citroen C1.
An estimated figure of around one lakh units of Maruti A Star will cater to the European Markets under the Suzuki badge, the rest 50,000 units will be sold within India. The A-Star is regarded as one of the most desired projects of Maruti Suzuki India. The Suzuki team has pinned a lot of hope in it.
In fact, the concept of Maruti A-Star is a first for Maruti Suzuki India's research and development team. Maruti Suzuki has entered into an agreement with Nissan to sell A-Star under the formers brand name in the US market.

FIREFOX 3.0 ::REVIEW
After months of testing, Firefox 3 (code name Gran Paradiso) is available for download from Mozilla. With its new Gekko 1.9 engine, the browser rocks, rendering pages faster and uses fewer system resources overall. As with any new browser, some add-ons created for Firefox 2 may not work, but give them time. Firefox 3 touts faster rendering, a vastly reduced use of system resources, and clever new data-mining tools for your bookmarks and browser history. Most notable is that Firefox 3 includes many security-related features baked right in, such as the best of breed antiphishing protection, making Firefox the most secure browser on the market today. If you haven't already tried Firefox, what are you waiting for? Firefox 3 remains My Choice over Microsoft Internet Explorer and Opera. See our slide show of Firefox 3's basic features, and its various security features.
Firefox 3 is free, and available on a variety of operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux. There are also a wide variety of localized language versions, including Basque and Byelorussian. Unlike IE 7, Firefox 3 does not require a system reboot.
The interface is the same in some places, but different in others. Placement of buttons hasn't changed, but the icons are new. Firefox 3 now provides a native look and feel (for example, the Linux version matches the Linux user interface), and smooth scrolling of open browser tabs. What will draw the eye are more icons near and within the address bar itself. A company logo, if available, will appear before the URL; after the URL there's the new one-click bookmark star and the familiar RSS icon. Other tweaks include those to the Password manager, Add-Ons manager, and Download manager.
Returning within Firefox 3 are several core features, such as Sessions Restore, built-in spell checking, integrated search, pop-up blocker, clear private data, and automated behind-the-scenes updates.
Most exciting among the brand new features is the improved rendering speed thanks to the new Gekko 1.9 engine. Firefox 3 passes the Acid2 Browser Test, along with Safari 3 and Opera 9. The test, designed by the Web Standards Project, is designed to encourage designers to follow HTML and CSS 2.0 specifications. Currently Internet Explorer 7 does not pass, but Microsoft says Internet Explorer 8 is expected to follow Web specifications.
The Gekko 1.9 rendering engine will, however, introduce some inconveniences. Firefox 3 will no longer support Windows 95, 98, and Me; the same with Mac OS X, versions 10.2 and earlier. There will also be numerous changes made to the Document Object Model (DOM) within Gekko 1.9 that will affect developers more than users. Also, there will be changes in the way Firefox renders frames within its display and the way object tags are handled, as well as changes in event threading.
For a user, the project known as Places is worthy of praise, as it creates a light database of history, bookmarks, and tags within the browser that can be searched, sorted, and organized. How you access the database gives rise to many new features within Firefox 3.
One obvious change is the Smart Location Bar (aka "awesome bar"). As you type in a URL, the awesome bar searches through your history and bookmarks and presents a drop-down list of recently accessed pages with that same keyword. It works even if you already know the URL. Some people have found it to be annoying, so there is a way to disable it requiring a small tweak to the about:config file. An Add-On further allows you to learn which of the search results you want to always be on top.
