<description><![CDATA[Maria Jesus Galan had 600 Facebook friends. She liked to communicate with them, to spread good news.However, her Facebook habit has lost her something very dear--her habit.Galan, you see, spent 35 years inside the Santo Domingo el Real convent in Toledo, Spain. It's an introspective place that doesn't encourage its nuns to have too much contact with the outside world. However, according to the Telegraph, the convent allowed a computer into its midst 10 years ago.Sister Maria saw the future that this computer offered. She digitized the Dominican convent's archives. The computer also offered more mundane assistance.&quot;It enabled us do things such as banking online and saved us having to make trips into the city,&quot; she told the Telegraph.Sister Maria&amp;39's Facebook page(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)The local government even gave her a prize for her digital initiatives. Oh, but with the prize came the fame. She began to collect more friends on her Facebook page. It seems, though, that this made her enemies within her own walls.Her fellow nuns reportedly claimed that Sister Maria's Facebook activity &quot;made life impossible.&quot; She was therefore asked to leave and now lives with her mother.The Dominican order has refused to comment on Sister Maria's departure. However, her Facebook page is overflowing with sympathy. Some posters tell her that now that she has her freedom, she can travel to places like Australia. Some declare themselves sad that she was the victim of such an injustice. Jose Maria Blanco Jimenez, for example, wrote: &quot;Even though I am an agnostic, I respect your beliefs, and if you have dedicated 35 years of your life to this order, it is very bad that they treated you this way.&quot;Another poster, Gerry Livingstone, offered: &quot;They don't deserve you and you don't need them!&quot;It seems rather sad that, in an era in which the Vatican has a YouTube channel and theiPhone a rosary app, there are still people within the Church who might not feel comfortable with the comforts technology can bring.At least Sister Maria understands the opportunities an online life can offer. She used to have 600 Facebook friends. Now her Facebook community numbers more than 5,000.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mozilla has a new plan forFirefox in 2011: Turn the crank faster.The organization is set to deliver Firefox 4 in coming weeks. And according to a draft Firefox roadmap, Mike Beltzner, Mozilla's director of Firefox, proposed releasing versions 5, 6, and 7 in 2011, too. This fast-release ethos, pioneered in the browser world by Google's Chrome, means smaller changes arrive more frequently.For comparison, Firefox 1 arrived in 2004, Firefox 2 in 2006, Firefox 3 in 2008, with Firefox 4 slipping past a hoped-for 2010 ship date and likely to slip past another date set for the end of February.The faster schedule is designed to make Firefox more competitive by getting new features into users' hands faster. According to Beltzner:We succeeded in re-energizing the browser market, creating competition and innovation which benefits Web application developers and users alike. This newly competitive market has presented challenges for the continued success of Firefox, and in 2011 we must ensure that we can deliver a product that is compelling to users in order to continue to be able to demonstrate our vision for the Web. To do this we must:&amp;149' provide a browser that is stable and responsive,&amp;149' build a product for modern desktop and mobile hardware,&amp;149' provide a simple set of features and experiences to help users get the most out of the Web,&amp;149' support Web technologies that are desired most by application developers and users,&amp;149' deliver those technology improvements quickly to our user base.It's not easy turning the crank faster, though.&quot;Changing the way we ship products will require the re-evaluation of many assumptions and a large shift in the way we think about the size of a 'major' release,&quot; Beltzner said. &quot;The criteria for inclusion should be no regressions [new bugs], well understood effects for users, and completion in time for a planned release vehicle.&quot;Firefox's share of worldwide browser usage has remained largely flat, with Chrome andSafari steadily picking up usage in recent months. Chrome, which often serves as a vehicle for Google to promote favored new technologies, moved last year from a quarterly release cycle to an even faster one with twice that pace.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
