Building a Better Transportation System
The sim-game craze has spawned some pretty strange offshoots, with games like Pizza Tycoon and Microsoft’s upcoming Zoo Tycoon being two of the oddest. Traffic Giant puts you in charge of a city’s municipal transportation system, and you’ll have to design efficient and profitable transit routes. Sounds bizarre, but could it be fun? 3D GameForce finds out in their review.

My top 5 reasons that Firefox is better than Internet Explorer
Here are my top 5 reasons that Firefox is better than Internet Explorer
1) Cross Platform Support
Firefox is a cross platform browser and can be run on almost any operating system but this is not in case with Internet Explorer. IE can only be used on widows.
2) Auto Update
Whenever Microsoft gives an update of Internet Explorer, you have to use Windows Update or Download an Update Manually but Firefox checks for update and Download Update itself, and Apply It after your permission.
3) Session Restore
If you have a sudden electric failure or a problem occurs with the hardware of your computer and your computer is switched off unexpectedly.You had lots of browser’s windows opened.If the browser was firefox then you don’t need to worry as firefox has the option to restore the session whenever you open firefox again.
4) Built in Download Manager
Firefox has a built in Download Manager.You can pause and resume your downloads whenever you want without having a need of a third party software.Internet Explorer has no such feature and you have to install a third party software to do this i.e Download Manager, Download Accelerator etc.
5) Themes
If you don’t like the Firefox default look and want to change Firefox look, for this Firefox gives you theme manager and there are many themes available on firefox website so you can apply any theme you like.
In Internet Explorer there is no theme manager, so you will always have to use Internet Explorer default look.
So these are my favourite reasons, but there are so many more. Firefox rocks!

Who doesn’t want a Cheap Flight!?
I found a new (to me, at least) australian travel site a few days ago with a pretty funny name. I Want That Flight! specialises in finding you the cheapest domestic flights within Australia. Once you enter in your search, it shows you the results in a calendar, so you can quickly see which days have the cheapest flights.
It also compares several travel agencies to help you find the best international airfares as well. It has many pages set up to show you the cheapest airfares on offer. Eg – flights to Christchurch, flights to bangkok and flights to singapore.
Hopefully you can find a cheap deal & do some travelling
