I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Firefox Declares War in Germany



Over 2,400 Firefox fans donated money to pay for a full-page ad for the open source browser that appeared Thursday in a German newspaper, spearheading the battle in Europe against Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
The ad, entitled "FEUER!" (fire), for Mozilla's Firefox 1.0 Web browser appeared in the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ).

"Hundreds of programmers jointly develop a revolutionary Internet browser," the ad read. "They volunteer their time and donate it to the whole world. Then 2,403 people and companies finance this advertisement to tell you: Firefox 1.0 is there."
Take that Bill Gates. A similar move is planned in the US with an ad due to appear in the New York Times in mid December.

You can get Firefox HERE.
