[Pizzaroo]

off topic thread is off topic. YAY FireFox3 IS COMING OUT SOMETIME TODAY!!!

 

[Trolly]

Ooh yeah, I was about to post it's in 2 hours, but someone beat me to it. Hopefully it'll be good. Maybe we'll even find a couple of surprises *hopes*.

So where is Firefox? Shouldn't it actually be available on download day? It doesn't seem like they planned this very well! If it's not available yet, they should make download day another day and make it available at midnight the night before to ensure that the largest number of people download it during that day.

OK, so I had to go to the forum to find out when download day starts. Really, they should put that on their main page. If it confuses me, it's definitely going to confuse people who are more technically challenged than I am.

[Calafas]

It's being releases at 1pm EST, 6pm GMT, kguiz?

 

[da_head]

well the reason they didn't put it midnight, its cuz they wanted the whole world to be able to download it at the same time.

Download Day is today, it is out today...in about 70 minutes (i think 70 minutes, I'm not sure)

They planned it fine, JUST because you couldn't get it when YOU want it doesn't mean it wasn't planned very well. The world doesn't revolve around YOU.

It is out in the mozilla FTP.

If YOU has read my post, you'd realize that what I meant was that they didn't specify when the download day starts in various locations on the main page of their "Download Day" site. That's a problem, particularly since most people would otherwise assume that it would start at midnight the previous night California time (given that California is Firefox headquarters).

Again, I'm sure I'm not the only one who went to the site today expecting to see a big "DOWNLOAD NOW" button, but instead saw...nothing. They at least need to put a big link that says "SEE WHEN DOWNLOAD DAY STARTS IN YOUR TIME ZONE" on the home page. I had to search for it on their forum to find the information. Bad planning, in my opinion, if the object is to get as many people as possible to download during a 24-hour period.

If you had to pledge to download it then you would have got a email saying:

QUOTEMark your calendar, wrap a ribbon around your finger or write a little sticky yellow note. Download Day will start on June 17, 2008.

 

[Bri]

Again, please read my post. Either one will do.

(1) I did pledge. (2) I did receive the e-mail. (3) The e-mail doesn't say what time Download Day starts. (4) Without specifying, one would assume the default would be midnight the night before, California time. (5) No further information is available concerning when it starts unless you search around for it on their website.

Poor planning, in my opinion.

[Prime]

Right, I give up. The email says when download day is, today, but you can't see that.

 

[Bri]

The e-mail says that Download Day is June 17th. Well, it's June 17th right now in California, and in my time zone as well, yet Download Day hasn't started yet, has it?

Therefore, don't you think it would have made sense if they had a link on their homepage specifying what TIME Download Day starts?

I feel as though we are talking past each other, but I'm not sure why. I think my posts have been pretty clear.

How could a worldwide download revolve around California time? Common sense would suggest a time that the whole world can download it.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one that had your conclusion. Most people aren't even aware that Fire Fox is located in California.

Well its the 18th in aus/nz/jpn

download day is finished

Yet the website doesn't specify a time AT ALL! Therefore, nobody in the entire world can know when they can start to download it or when they must have it downloaded by, including those people who know that Firefox headquarters is in California.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one that had your conclusion. Most people aren't even aware that Fire Fox is located in California.

Again, not the point and I'm certain I'm not the only one who had trouble figuring out exactly when Download Day starts since it's not specified on their homepage.

Exactly my point. They give a date for Download Day that's completely irrelevant to half the world, yet they don't have any indication of precisely when it starts and when it finishes.

In order to find a link to a page where you can look up the time and date of Download Day for your location, you have to search for it (it's somewhere in the forum). They could have put that link on the home page to avoid the confusion.

If indeed the object is to get people worldwide to download during the same 24-hour period, it's poor planning on their part not to make it clear exactly when that 24-hour period starts and ends.
