Following Google’s foot steps, Facebook is now rolling out two factor authentication. Two factor authentication adds a second password – or token number – required to log into your account. Basically, when you try to log into Facebook, you get a text message, with an additional password to complete your sign-on. Check out the Facebook Blog for details, and keep an eye out on your Facebook Account page for the availability!

Firefox has always been a favorite of mine, and well, so is Android. Firefox for Android came out of beta, and can now be installed on you android device. With it, you get Firefox Sync, add-ons tabbed browsing, and much more!
So while everyone is waiting around for Google Music to go live, Amazon comes out and goes live with Amazon Cloud Player! Stream your music from the web to your computer or Android device – all you need is an Amazon account (free). All users get 5GB of space for free, and option to purchase more at a very reasonable price! Comes with a great utility that will automatically upload your music from your computer to the cloud.
Nice addition, any mp3 albums purchased on Amazon are automatically stored on your Cloud Drive, but don’t count against your quota. Also, if you purchase an album, you get one year of 20GB storage for free! (Details on 20GB promo) Not bad!
Here’s a PowerShell script that does a quick count of mailboxes on each database of a server, or all servers – depending if you specify the server name as a script parameter.
** Updated: I made some improvements to the script, and have posted the updated code. One notable items is that I separated the count of mailboxes and disconnected mailboxes. Previously, the count included both mailboxes and disconnected mailboxes. This may skew the numbers a bit, depending on what you are looking for.

So I’m a huge fan of Firefox (although recently been using Chrome almost all the time) but now that Firefox 4 is out of Beta, there’s a good chance I’ll be switching back to Firefox!
Download it here from a random mirror: Windows /Mac OS X / Linux.
The official launch is 3/22/2011.
So you have a Internet Explroer 9 Beta that you would like to roll back on Windows 7 (IE 9 Beta is considered a update not a program).
That’s it!
