Funny open-source cartoon with Tux
Opinn hugbúnaður: allir geta breytt henni og gera það enn meira ógnvekjandi. Hér er samdráttur af hverju.

Opinn hugbúnaður. Hljómar eins og aðra tækni tískuorð eins lipur þróun, MVC ramma, Fossinn módel, og svo framvegis.

It’s been about a year in coming (it was in beta for a full year), but Firefox 4 is finally out and can be downloaded at firefox.com.
