Just as the World Series of baseball only involves the USA and Canada, it seems the same is true of the Firefox 3.0 Download Day world record attempt that is to be held today, Tuesday June 17th. My sources tell me the software will be released at 10:00am Pacific summer time - at which point it will be 6:00pm here in the UK and for anyone east of Dhaka it will already be Wednesday. So the 57,871 people from Japan who pledged to download Firefox 3.0 on the 17th will be disappointed, as will the 28,255 in Australia, the 6,600 in the Philippines and many others across the globe.
I really like Firefox, having been a user since it was launched, but I am disapponted that once again the USA forgets there are other people and countries beyond West Quoddy Head.
