...finally delivered the album to his record company, Skwerl implied on his blog that he'd post the tracks if he got them. So someone who works for the record company sent them to Skwerl, and Skwerl threw them up on a player so people could listen but not download (though, of course, they found a way). The traffic crashed his server in 10 minutes. Within the hour, someone from Rose's camp called. "He was pretty cool. He seemed to be kind of like a warning-shot thing," says Skwerl. An hour later, he got an e-mail from...
...kids, ready to go for the record? The latest version of the free browser Firefox launched at 1 p.m. E.T. today, and organizers are hoping enough people will download it so that Guinness World Records will cite it for "most software downloaded in 24 hours."

That's 3.4 million more downloads than Firefox's previous record, set Oct. 24, 2006, when Firefox 2 was released. So download away...
...Apple's marketing boss Phil Schiller told me, will be free to consumers, others won't. Apple will take 30 cents out of every dollar developers make selling their wares at Apple's App Store.
