Firefox 3 has stormed its way to a Guinness World Record for the most number of software downloads in 24 hrs. A shade over 8 million downloads from 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008 have effectively made Firefox 3 the GTA IV of web browsers.
The browser’s launch, as you all would easily recall, was named “Download Day 2008” and is now an urban technology legend. If you played a pivotal role in setting the world record than you can claim your Download Day certificate and flaunt it the way you like.
Now please bend towards your computer screen and conjure up your best clandestine expression because here is a little secret for you all: even those of you who haven’t even downloaded Firefox 3, and thereby have no hand in the record whatsoever, can get the Download Day certificate. Anybody can!

Blame Sony for not being liked. It just doesn't come up with enough worthwhile innovations. And even its run of the mill products have steep prices.

The certificates are really dumb. What kind of maniac would want one?

Actually, I have one of those certificates. :-) I show it to my friends and make them jealous. Also, it makes me feel as though I am a part of something important. Seriously though, I helped set a world record and, more importantly, I support the making of good software.
