We’ve known about Mozilla’s plans to provide platform specific themes to users in Firefox 3, and it looks as though some glimpses of what the future holds is now in our hands. Those of you on a Mac and testing out Firefox 3 nightlies are able to install an extension dubbed as Proto for Mac OS X. Once installed you’ll be able to see all of the eye candy that’s pictured above.

Proto is an official add-on that’s currently being offered as an easy way for people to checkout the new theme. The latest version was just released today, and sports a new look for the add-ons window, revamped find bar, better downloads window, and more.

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten about the Linux users either. An article written last week demonstrates how the appearance of Firefox 3 is changing for Linux users:

And then there are also supposed to be separate Windows XP and Vista themes in the works which will use the icons that we’ve already seen. It will be interesting to see just how much the two different operating systems differ from each other, but as of right now there’s no word on when they plan to have the Windows theme integrated.

There’s still no mention of the next Firefox 3 milestone, but we’ll keep our eyes open.

If you don’t want to download and install the free Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 then you can take it for a test drive online. Microsoft has setup a complete simulation environment that lets you completely test each of their Office 2007 products:

• Microsoft Office Access 2007
• Microsoft Office Excel 2007
• Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
• Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
• Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007
• Microsoft Office Publisher 2007
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007
• Microsoft Office Visio 2007
• Microsoft Office Word 2007
• Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
• Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 (should be available soon)
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

The testing environment is currently very busy and you will probably have to wait in line if you want to give it a shot. There was no wait time when I accessed it the first time but when I went back it was a 17 minute delay. I am sure that the service will continue to get busy as more and more people find out about this, so go and “stand” in line now if you want to try it! Oh yeah, it requires Internet Explorer (surprise surprise) since it has to install an ActiveX plug-in.

Thanks Jason!

Setting up your own Web server can be a pain when trying to install PHP, MySQL, Apache, and phpMyAdmin. There are several different applications available that try to make doing this easy by installing all of the above for you, and my favorite has always been EasyPHP. I’ve tried others but EasyPHP is just so, well, easy.

The only thing that I never liked about it is that they don’t update it very frequently. It has been nearly 2 years since the last version was released and within that time there have been significant updates to all of the included programs. Luckily they have been working on a new version and we should see it available soon, but if you can’t wait any longer to get your Windows server setup in a matter of minutes (with the latest software) then they have posted a Beta version.

Here are the version numbers of each application that is included:

• Apache 2.2.3
• PHP 5.2.0
• MySQL 5.0.27
• phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1
• SQLiteManager 1.2.0

If you’re still a little skeptical about how easy it is to install this just checkout their installation guide. Note: Most of the website is in French so you may have to use their translation buttons at the top in order to have the page translated into your language.

So now you don’t have any excuse why you can’t post your holiday pictures on a nice website for your family to see.

The LG Star. The dual-core beast from the east that was once a mere twinkle in our eye has managed to find its way to the Engadget mansions, having been lent to us by a very generous (and very anonymous) tipster. It’s clearly a test device, as evidenced by its diagnostics menus and lack of a lockscreen, but there’s no disguising the power that lies within it. We put the Star through a battery of common Android benchmarks and the results were, in a word, outstanding. Basically, Tegra 2 will give anything your current phone‘s running an inferiority complex. Join us after the break as we delve deeper into this upcoming powerhouse of a handset from LG. One thing’s for sure: CES 2011 can’t come soon enough.
