Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by vmanes [QUOTE=techbound;631007]So is it a bon-e-fide Guinness World Record?[/QUOTE] Considering there was no record in the category before, any documented submission becomes the record. It's a matter of whether the Guinness people will accept it (probably will). Their threshold is much lower these days than it used to be.

It's moving along quite nicely - more than 1.8M additional downloads since I got it this evening. Interesting to see how many, or how few, downloads from various countries - be sure to mouse over the map on the worldrecord page. Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by Dani I downloaded it yesterday. Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by techbound Well I will def keep my eye out for it. Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by jwenting bleh. Just put up a botnet of machines you bought from some script kiddie and set them to repeatedly download it. Voila, millions of downloads. Remember: download counts don't say a thing about actual users, and even less about actual persistent users. I tried pretty much every version of FF, and quickly abandoned all of them. Yet they … Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by lllllIllIlllI I dunno but thats what the site says that they are doing at the moment. They got about 13 million downloads and that must have to count for something at least! Re: FireFox 3.0 - Help set a Guinness World Record! 15 Years Ago by techbound what about the script kiddie botnet machines theory? Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by royng Does anyone bought a kinect. Who like xbox products Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by frogboy77 I can dance in my lounge for free, and look like an idiot (not very often), why would i pay for the privilege? Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by royng The new kinect is coming out with a better sensor. Can't wait to buy it Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by Steven_B The kinect is coming out with a better sensor? What's the ETA on that? I haven't bought one yet since my xbox is in my apartment bedroom(not much room). I know there were lag issues, as well as sensing(in non-prime lighting conditions) issues, that could be improved, all of which I thought were software fixes! Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by Burrito NL I do have a Kinect... part of my severance package. I must say it works better then expected... and it's more of a workout... Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by WASDted Agreed with @Burrito_NL - Kinect works a lot better than I expected, and it's getting better. Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by Dani I tried to use my Kinect yesterday, and found out that it was too sunny to work right. (No window shades yet.) I had to drape a bedsheet over the window to get the darn thing to semi-work for 5 minutes. Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by WASDted @cscgal, first i've heard of that... what game are you trying it with? Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 13 Years Ago by Ridinonrails I have to say I was very impressed when I first heard of the Kinect. Microsoft managed to break into another gaming market, but not doing it cheaply and with the same basic concept like the Move did. Bravo Microsoft! Re: Microsoft sells over 10 million Kinect sensors, sets new Guinness World Record 12 Years Ago by jingda Anyone want to buy Kniect2. The sensor for kinect 2 will be better and better graphics. New games are coming out too. Re: Firefox takes aims at wrong record 15 Years Ago by scru Sigh. Much to learn young grasshopper. Don't you think more downloads, with fair odds of each download being a unique user, still increases the chance of more widespread use of the browser? Yes, Firefox (while not the pinnacle of awesomeness that so many tout it to be) is good enough to retain the majority of those users. It's a brilliant move. Re: Firefox takes aims at wrong record 15 Years Ago by happygeek Nope. I see the downloads being, primarily, existing users upgrading and not new Firefox users. I hope I am proved wrong :-) Re: Firefox takes aims at wrong record 15 Years Ago by peter_budo I think you right happygeek, there will be more updates then new users.
