Beta testing for others

So I have been working on the improvements to Pong that can bring it closer and closer to Release Candidate status as expected. The main menu is almost finished and I am expecting that to be out as part of Beta 2 in the very near future. I still haven't found the music that I really want, but there are a few other ideas that are bouncing around in my head. It is really going good.

That is not my only project however. I am also trying to actively partake of the Beta testing for the new version of Firefox (Firefox 4.0 Beta 1). I downloaded it and installed it yesterday and was quite impressed. Normally when one uses a Beta 1 for any product you expect rather decent sized bugs, an excessively slow install, and just the general idea to be out there. That however is not the case here. First thing that had me impressed was the install. It was lightning quick. Given the shun that installer creation is normally looked upon in the software development world this was a pleasant surprise for me (and massive kewl points). I then loaded it. The visual layout has changed a little bit, and the jury is still out on what exactly I think of it. The tab bar is just below the menu bar, then comes the address bar, then the bookmark toolbar, then the actual page itself. For me it just seems more natural to have the tab toolbar directly over the pages. That is not majorly evil, or a deal killer, just not too comfy and natural for me. The pages loaded however and looked good. Nothing was distorted, or out of place. It worked really well. The only other problem that I have found so far is that when you open a tab it says "New Tab" which is expected, but then you have to go to a different tab and back to get rid of that and start seeing the name of the site in that tab. This is another annoyance, and bug that was reported, but not a deal killer. Overall I think Firefox 4 is looking to be another top product from the team over at Mozilla.
