The popularity of internet buttons has skyrocketed since the Facebook Like button experienced such astounding success. In fact, over 50 million Likes are made across millions of websites every day. Plexus Entertainment, a new startup company, hopes to enter the internet button arena with its new Watch It button – the first button designed for the film industry.
The Watch It button allows internet users to create a list of movies they are interested in seeing. If you’re familiar with Netflix, Watch It functions similarly to adding a movie to your Netflix queue. However, in contrast to Netflix, Watch It isn’t confined to its proprietary site.

As with Firefox 7 & Firefox 8, there are no notable changes to the user interface. The onus is on the performance this time around. There is a new feature called "type inference" added by Mozilla which helps Firefox choose how to handle JavaScript and hence doesn't require a developer to define a variable.
