googtube writes "According to W3counter.com, The website statistics provider, Firefox usage has reached an all time high of almost 25%. For those of you who suck at maths, that is nearly one in four internet users using Firefox. Go Firefox!

W3counter.com have based these numbers on the last 31,612,302 unique visits to 4,511 websites, So it should be a fairly accurate representation of the internet as a whole, Even though figures may be skewed on industry specific sites, Such as slashdot."

Juha-Matti Laurio writes "McAfee AVERT Labs Blog reports about a sample of a virus written for a programmable calculator TI-89. The blog entry continues that there is no AV software yet for calculators so protection can only be built on a PC. According to the author of this Proof-of-Concept type virus 'Gaara' it is world's first resident entry-point-obscuring (EPO) virus for TI89 Titanium calculators. It appears that Symantec has released a virus description document for this TIOS.Tigraa virus too."
