For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by a gap that lies between neutron stars and black holes: the heaviest known neutron star is no more than 2.5 times the mass of our sun, or 2.5 solar masses, and the lightest known black hole is about 5 solar masses. The question remained: does anything lie in this so-called mass gap?

So no one is lying, it is just a nichname that stuck like most kids get one because of one incident/error when in 1-3rd grade - something that sticks - in this case it is just islands. North America that was discovered by the vikings called it Winland, which it isn't any more because some other settles came by and called it something else and then it was split in mulitpled territories and then split again and then some united and now you have 3 names for it, North America, USA and Canada.... plus a lot of nick names as well for the different states etc.

lisaparratt is right on and your comment shows so.
I live in Denmark, you know, among one of the first democratic countries in the world (besides the original democracy Greece), and our feet crumble when we see and hear the US talk about human rights, equal rights, and your so called democracy (which is a republic which is not a democracy which many people in and form the US claims).
Socialism the way you talk about it and in general how the US portrais it is so far off that it makes Europeans laugh over the ignorance. Socialism is anything but the facist, stalinistic or nazi regimes you mentione. They are all dictatorships, arisen from failed attempts to implement different types of governments.
One of the best ways to view the success of a country, a regime, is to look at how many of the population is insjail/prison. The US has over 7 million people in jail (that is 716 per 100000 capita).Denmark has 61 per 100000 aka 8% of what the US has.
Socialism, in a capitalistic country like Denmark, is more like the US than you think yet we don't let our people starve in poverty because the rich needs more money. We do take care of each other instead of thinking egoistically about "what can I get" instead of "what do I need" and then make sure to give so everyone has "what I need" which includes free child care, education, healtcare and pension for the elder and care for them as well. All free for the individual. All of this costs hence the tax system which is between 40-60% of your income (depending on your income level) and 25% sales tax etc. like any other country.
It works, it works al ot better than the US system which has for the past few decades just been on a downhill slope dragging the rest of the world into an abyss due to "problems at home" that apparently is "someone elses fault".
So thank you for your 70 year old words of wisdom, which are in some serious need of some updates.

Boot time (initial start of FF when not returning to it, but used a task killer) is as slow as booting my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop 64bit system with 8Gb RAM - not good.
Firefox does render a page nicely, without much difference from the desktop version, but renders it in fullscreen (entire page on screen).
No setting for "mobile view".
No easy setting for default zoom level. When following a link, the next page is rendered at the same fullscreen zoom, so new zoom is needed.

There aren't any customizations that are easily available, not enven enough to compare with a small fast browser like DB mentioned above or SkyFire. The general look/feel of FF for Android is a very basic app that should still be in alpha as the customization menu is very odd and not polished compared with other smaller and similar programs.
Mozilla, please don't make Android apps that divert from the way Android apps are supposed to do, use the menues, and respect the backbutton when pressed... aka kill your current download/render of a page if the backbutton is pressed, don't continue working on something that the user want's to stop.
My device is HTC Desire with latest HTC Android 2.2, so it is not an old G1 I'm using, though FF4 beta for Android feels like it is running on a G1.
