In a158 pages PDF file which contains intern communication (e-mails) shows a statistic over which drivers from different companies that has the most crashes in Windows Vista. The document was released by Nvidia after they was forced to make it official after the American government claimed that Nvidia tricks their customers. According to the numbers in the report you can clearly see that Nvidia causes most crashes in Windows Vista with 28,8 percent. While Microsoft’s own drivers are only responsible for 17,9 percent of these crashes. The numbers are taken from 2007 and the report does not tell us what drivers they are talking about. The numbers does however tells us that Nvidia got a driver problem. The real question is “Has Nvidia finally become more unstable than AMD/ATI?”

Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) announced Thursday the start of public beta testing for its free online service Express Adobe Photoshop editing photos and the community.

Some of the editing options included in Adobe Photoshop Express include: & Crop Rotation, Auto Correct, exposure, removal of the red-eye effect, Touchup, saturation, white balance, highlighted, Lighting, Sharpen, Soft Focus, Hue , Black & White, Hue, Sketch, and distortion. Adobe entry in this space is likely to be felt by other publishing photos online as Picnik, Phixr and Splashup, to name but a few.

Although Adobe has at least half a dozen competing online service photo editing, there are great chances to benefit from branding and fortuitous timing: There are worries at the moment among the Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) ’s Flickr, one of the leading communities sharing photos online, on the staff of the probable future after its acquisition by Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT). (A competitor Flickr, SmugMug, offers discounts to those who flee Flickr “.”)

Adobe Photoshop Express is not likely to be useful to its business customers Photoshop CS3. The service offers up to 2 GB of online storage, and only one or two images of many photographers seriously. Adobe Photoshop Express downloads also limits to 10 megabytes and 4000 pixels in height and width.

The professional photographers often use hundreds of gigabytes of storage and tend to rely on a third party Photoshop plug-ins that are not available via Adobe Photoshop Express.

But Adobe is clearly for photo enthusiasts, at least at this stage. In addition to its range of image adjustment and filtering tools, Adobe Photoshop Express focuses on the sharing of photos and galleries online. It includes links to social networks and sites for sharing photos Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa, Adobe if the aim is clearly to bring more people into Adobe Photoshop Express.

Adobe Photoshop Express requires Vista or Windows XP, or Mac OS 10.4 +, a minimum screen resolution of 1024×768, 512 MB RAM, Internet Explorer 6 or 7 (Windows), Safari 3.0.4 + (Mac), or Firefox 2 + (Mac or Windows) and Adobe Flash 9.

At some point, Adobe Photoshop Express should be available as a desktop application, like Apple’s iPhoto, once Adobe moves offline to the development of a client using its technology AIR.

According to Mozilla, Firefox has now been downloaded over 500 million times. hey don’t tell us what version of the web browser they talk about so probably they mean all versions together. Mozilla has decided to use this opportunity together with the project FreeRice to give away rice to the world’s poorest people. Mozilla invites to word games which will give money for the project, a word game you will be able to find on freerice.com. The game is a simple word game and each time someone answers right you will give 20 rice corns to FN’s hunger program (UN World Food Program). Mozilla pays with money they get from commercials.
