What is FireFox?

Firefox is two things: a mediocre cold-war movie from the 80s starring Clint Eastwood and a modern browser that offers a number of advantages over Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I can't recommend watching the movie, but I can, and do, highly recommend switching to Firefox. You might wonder why you should go out of your way to use a browser different from IE (Internet Explorer). I mean, you have to visit a web site, download a 17 Megabyte file, install it and then configure Windows to automatically use FF (Firefox) instead of IE for web sites.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and you can find more information about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

Have you ever wished that you could get an idea of what's going on around the world without actually having to visit twenty or thirty different web sites? For example, you could visit all of the major news providers' web sites to find out what's going on, or you could use an RSS aggregator to access their RSS feeds. This would allow you to browse headlines and/or snippets of the latest news articles from all of those providers without visiting their web sites.
