Firefox logos are abundant on the Internet but how many of them are actually correct? Some of them are obvious that they are not trying to go along with the standard Firefox icon, but I think you might be surprised at the strict details that Mozilla has in place for distributing their logo. First lets look at what the correct logos look like:

Just the logo with both a white or black background:

The logo with side text:

Now lets look at some of the ones that are not correct and what’s wrong with them, actually, we should make a game out of it. I’ll list the different logos (numbered 1 to 9) and you make a list of what’s wrong with each. Come on, you have done things like this as a kid.

To reveal what is wrong either hover your mouse over the image or scroll down to the bottom where I have listed the answers with the corresponding numbers.

Here are the answers for what’s wrong with each of the above images:

1. Strong colored background (duh!)
2. Incomplete logo (it’s gotta have a globe!)
3. Non-standard orientation and sizing of logo/text
4. Incorrect logo/text size ratio and position
5. Missing the shadow (this one was a bit tricky)
6. Incorrect font color
7. Incorrect font face
8. Strong pattered background (you should have learned your lessen from the first image)
9. Incorrect colors

I hope you had some fun with that and even I’ll admit that I couldn’t figure out number 5 without looking at the answer. Be honest…did you figure them all out without cheating?

If you’re still waiting to pull the trigger on an Android 3.1 tab, decision day may be coming soon. Back in June, Archos revealed two G9 models: the 8-inch 80 and the 10-inch 101. Well… in case you needed time to save up a little extra dough from your paper route, pricing has been revealed ahead of the September release. The smaller of the two tablets will start out at $299.99 and the more stout of the pair at $369.99 (both 8GB base models), a cool Jackson more than originally reported. Just as a quick refresher, keep in mind that beastly 250GB options are available for both, boasting Seagate’s 7mm Momentus Thin HDD technology. You know, if you’re wanting to carry around your entire Metallica bootleg discography on one of these bad boys.

Another holiday season is approaching us and there is nothing like the mobs of people that go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. That day is typically referred to Black Friday and it earned its name because that is the one day where most retail stores are guaranteed not to be in the red (a.k.a. guaranteed to make money).

Everyone wants to know what the deals are going to be like before hand so that they can scope out and plan their attack shopping…that is why a site called BFAds.net exists. People send in scanned images of advertisements for the sales that will occur after Thanksgiving. At this point they don’t really have much but in the next two weeks I’m sure they will get a lot of submissions!

Well, the big deal last year was the $378 laptop that Walmart offered which didn’t have any really amazing specs (which is obvious for the price). This year, however, they will be offering a $398 laptop starting on November 5 and going until November 11. So this isn’t a Black Friday sale but is amazing enough to be one. Here is a list of the specs for Compaq Presario V5305WM laptop:

• 2.00 GHz Mobile AMD Sempron™ Processor 3300+
• 512MB 333MHz DDR (upgradable to 2GB)
• ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP (128MB)
• 60GB 5400RPM Hard-Drive
• 24X DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
• 15.4” WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) Display
• Integrated 56k modem, 100mb Network Card and 54g 802.11b/g Wireless Connectivity
• 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (Not PCMCIA)
• 10.2″(L) x 14.1″(W) x 1.38″(min H) /1.77″(max H)
• 6.4 lbs

There is a limit of 1 per customer and each store has to have at least 15 in stock…and once employees get their hands on them I’m sure there will be at least 2 left.

So it looks like some of the fun may be starting a little early this year. If you’re scouting out good deals then you should subscribe to the RSS or email list that BFAds.net has. Also, as some of the sweet electronic deals emerge I’ll probably let everyone know here.
