Steven Noonan sends us to a page where he is collecting and updating results for various browsers on the newly released Acid 3 test. No browser yet scores 100 on this test. (We discussed Acid 3 when it came out.) He writes, “It’s not surprising that Internet Explorer is losing to every other modern browser, but how did IE 5.5 beat IE 6.0 and 7.0?” All of the IE versions score below 20 on Acid 3.Read more of this story at Slashdot.

AtomBOB suggests a Phoronix review comparing the performance of a Quadro graphics card on Windows Vista Ultimate, Solaris Express Developer, and Ubuntu Linux. The graphics card used was a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 mid-range workstation part. The cross-platform benchmark used was SPECViewPerf 9.0 from SPEC. Quoting Phoronix: “Using the Quadro FX1700 512MB and the latest display drivers, Windows Vista wasn’t the decisive winner, but the loser… Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 5 with the 169.12 driver had overall produced the fastest results within SPECViewPerf. In only three benchmarks had Solaris Express Developer 1/08 outpaced Ubuntu Linux, but with two of these tests the results were almost identical.”"Read more of this story at Slashdot.

About Download Queue
A slim, but fully featured, download manager. It supports the http, https and ftp protocols including support for manual and auto-resume, acceleration using multiple connections per download, a bandwidth monitor and a full download history. Downloads can be scheduled to run, and optionally stop, automatically at a chosen time every day or just once at a particular time and date. Downloads can also be controlled manually.

A data transfer limit, including a “free” period, can now be setup in the preferences. To keep you on top of your data the Bandwidth inspector displays all data received, as well as the average data rate. You can even set Download Queue to stop all activity when your data limit is reached.

Once your files are downloaded you can open them from Download Queue, or move them anywhere you like just by dragging them to the Finder.

An optional Safari extension can be installed which adds Download Queue menu items to Safari’s context menu; it also enables direct adding of downloads when the Shift key is held down.

A Firefox extension is also available.
