Firefox says goodbye to the blink tag, Sparky Linux 3.0 GameOver Released, Android Malware Rate Skyrockets!

Today in Open Source: The blink tag is no more in Firefox. Plus: SparkyLinux 3.0 GameOver, and Android malware rates surge!

Unlike some of you younglings, I remember seeing the “blink” tag in action. It was horrid and annoying. Imagine loading a web page, and having text in a huge font blinking at you over and over and over again. That was the “blink” tag in action.

It’s gone now, but its not missed. Heh, heh.
