July 2007
July was the month of changes for CyberNet! After spending two months designing and implementing a new design for the site from scratch, we launched it. We also worked on optimizing the site, and added a handful of new features like Avatar support, advanced thumbnail navigation, and more. Around the same time, we shared a few facts about ourselves and asked our readers to in turn share something about themselves in hopes of getting to know our community better. Here’s a re-cap of all of the changes that went on during July at CyberNet:
- New Design Coming Soon to a Browser Near You
- Welcome to a Whole New CyberNet
- New CyberNet Design Nicely Optimized
- How to Connect with CyberNet Technology News
- CyberNet Forum Gets an Update
- CyberNet Tour: Advanced Thumbnail Navigation
- Things You Don’t Know about Ryan and Ashley
- New CyberNet Features: Avatars, Email Notifications, and Microsummaries
- CyberNet Update: More Avatar Support

August was a slow month to say the least, but the two topics that managed to appear in the news pretty regularly were Opera and Firefox. At the end of the month, the Opera team was working hard to get the Opera 9.5 download pushed out the door (our review here) while Mozilla was taking steps to improve upon their 50% retention rate for Firefox.
Opera…
- Opera 9.23 Released – Mum’s the Word on Opera 9.5
- Opera 9.5 download available Tuesday
- Opera CEO: 1 Billion Pageviews on Opera Mini
Firefox…
- Firefox 3 Download Manager, Resizable Toolbar Items, and More
- Mozilla Hopes to Retain more Firefox Users

You could certainly tell that the year was winding down in November and December when major news was pretty light. Because of this, we offered a handful of Helpful Tips that could potentially help you in a variety of different ways. Let’s not forget Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and all of the deals that came from that as well.
To help wrap up the year, CyberNet started our annual CyberNet Awards and gave them out to products, services and gadgets that in our opinion, deserved to be recognized. As we explained, there wasn’t much fame and glory associated with the award and winners didn’t receive a statuette, but it was fun none-the-less. Take a look…
The Pirate Bay was the talk of the month since they had their servers seized and then quickly returned to them after authorities found no illegal content. To help crack down on piracy Microsoft also updated their Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) process to check for counterfeit versions of Windows XP…which unexpectedly identified legitimate versions of Windows as counterfeit.
