[twit]

Sometimes, while browsing a website, IE7 make a weird water drop like sound. Couldn't find the reason. I disabled phishing sound is still there. Any ideas?

Nothing like Chinese Water Torture.

Maybe you can disable it within your control panel, under sounds? I've noticed this too, but mainly when Windows Updates need to be done, and the yellow shield shows up. This has been my experience, anyway! Let us know if you have found it!

Here is what tech crunch says about the new FireFox 3..

Despite getting off to a slow start yesterday, the official release of the Firefox 3 browser was downloaded 8.3 million times (that’s the unofficial tally as of 11:16 AM PT today). Mozilla beat its goal of 5 million downloads by 3 million and set a new world record! All right, there was no previous world record, but it still represents a massive one-day adoption rate.

According to Mozilla Foundation CEO John Lilly, that gives Firefox 3 a four percent market share of browsers worldwide straight out of the gate. Mozilla’s servers sent out 83 terabytes of data during that time, and at the peak there were 17,000 downloads per second (with an average of 4,000 per second). That explains why I had to wait so long to download my copy. The browser was downloaded in 200 different countries, with the top ten being

U.S.
Germany
Japan
Spain
UK
France
Iran
Italy
Canada
Poland

Yes, Firefox 3 is big in Iran and Poland. IE doesn’t stand a chance.

I also experience this and it annoys me a lot. This is one of the reason why I don't use IE anymore. FF is far way better to use!
