Submission + - Internet tax held off for seven more years (arstechnica.com)

Christopher Blanc writes: "With the ban on taxing Internet connections set to expire at the end of October, both houses of Congress are taking action. Last night, the Senate passed a bill that would extend the 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act yet again, this time for seven years. A version of the legislation passed by the House earlier this week would only extend it for another four years.

Submission + - Firefox working to fix memory leaks (squarefree.com)

Christopher Blanc writes: "Many Mozilla community members, including both volunteers and Mozilla Corporation employees, have been helping to reduce Firefox's memory usage and fix memory leak bugs lately. Hopefully, the result of this effort will be that Firefox 3 uses less memory than Firefox 2 did, especially after it has been used for several hours. http://www.squarefree.com/2007/09/20/firefox-memory-usage-and-memory-leak-news/"
