NetApplications (keeping track of stats for an estimate of 40,000 websites) reports that Internet Explorer has somewhat recovered from the never-ending downwards spiral it seemed to be in these last few months. User base was moving away from this browser, which hasn't been updated for years.
Mozilla Firefox's market share became as high as nearly 10%, but now IE strikes back and Firefox's market share has decreased to 8.07% compared to 8.71% in June.

No Nonsense XML Web Development With PHP arrived at my doorstep late last week. This good sized book marks my first PHP book and an exciting new adventure for me. XML Web Development has always interested me, but finding quality resources for that area of programming can be difficult.

One downside that people always find when they purchase a Mac is that the included Apple mice are always one button. Most users end up upgrading to a two button mouse sometime in their Mac life. Thanks to Apple this is no longer necessary.
Apple has finally revealed a powerful "mighty" mouse with every feature imaginable in your input device. The mouse still features a one button design using sensitive touch sensors to determine click input. The Mighty Mouse's design not only is slick, but is practical.
This $50 mouse not only feature…
