Opera to join Rapid Release bandwagon.
Mid March when IE9 was released Microsoft had boasted its 2.35 million downloads in 24 hours only to be doubled by Firefox 4 when it was released and all this seems to be a distant history. Firefox 5 was recently released and there was not much hush about it thanks to the rapid release cycle these browser manufacturers have opted for. Initiated by Google Chrome and then recently adopted by Mozilla Firefox as they are heading to Firefox 6.0 leaving users with its latest stable release Firefox 5.0 and they are planning to release Firefox 7.0 by the end of this year though some IT corporations have ridiculed Firefox for such a move.

Now i know Apple have got some premium devices under their belt which even i am longing for, but the Apple fanboyism has recently hit a new high which fanatics are probably proud of. What surprises me is that they take Apple devices as the devices revealed from heaven which requires utmost devotion and everything else as demonic devices. In-fact a BBC Documentary showed,an MRI scan on an Apple Fanboy with companies images triggered those parts of the brain as images of a deity do to religious people. Some of them have even taken their fanboyism to a level where they have gone great lengths to prove their love for Apple by tattooing and even building “shrines” for some of its old devices. Couple of months back when Pope Benedict XVI said that technology poses a threat to religion, he was probably referring to apple gadgets.
