Large parts of Los Angeles are currently without power. The outage started about 1pm PST (4pm EST, 8pm UTC).
Dreamhost, a larger colocation provider, is currently down as a result of the power outage.
The power outage was caused by a utility working cutting a cable by mistake. At this time (3:30pm PST, 6:30pm EST, 10:30pm UTC),  most of the power has been restored.

You can get from here :  FireFox 1.5 Beta 1

One of our readers, Matthew, submitted that there is a new version of Firefox available for download.  The latest version of the Firefox web browser, 1.5, is out in beta 1.  After personally installing it earlier today I have found it be incredibly stable and feature rich.  According to Mozilla, Firefox 1.5 beta 1 is still vulnerable to the IDN buffer overflow vulnerability published on Sep. 8th.  It is highly recommended that all users take the steps indicated in the link below to secure against this vulnerability.
