Microsoft to Spend $1B to Expand Headquarters
Thursday said it plans to spend $1 billion over the next three years to expand its headquarters outside of Seattle.
The development will increase the campus of the world's largest software maker by a third and provide the capacity for an additional 12,000 workers, Microsoft said a news conference with Washington state Gov. Christine Gregoire and local politicians.

Best Firefox extensions
When you ask most people what Web browser they use, the answer often will be Internet Explorer. After all, it comes preloaded on Windows PCs, so most people just use it by default.
But while IE maintains a stranglehold on the majority of computer systems, Mozilla's open-source solution, called Firefox, has made significant inroads into the browser market. Handy extra features are part of the reason for its growing success, as is the continual supply of third-party add-ons.

30.11.2005Download Firefox 3, set a world record
Set a Guinness World Record, enjoy a better web. It's the goal of the Spread Firefox group when Firefox 3 goes final this summer.
"Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24
hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of
awesome," the site says.
This will take approximately a week after the attempt date to know if the record was broken. Judges from Spread
Firefox and Guinness World Records will need to review download logs and validate the record attempt. This is the first record attempt of its kind so
there is no set number to beat, although the group looks to the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. 5 million
seems to be their target for Firefox 3.
One of the biggest hurdles faced is the fact that a "download" is the transmission of the entire,
fully functioning Firefox 3 -- not just an update.
The official release date for Firefox 3 has not been announced yet, however, Spread
Firefox claims to be posting on their site "soon."
