eeepc update ui

first time I am running it. it just crashed on me. I think the updates are still running since the ps outputs suggest it's still alive.

There is no way my wife would know that if she is the one running the update.......

Also noticed that asus disabled the update button on firefox and only allows you (in the UI) to install newer versions of firefox through their update server. The problem is that they are WAY behind..... (FF still on 3.0.4 when it should be 3.0.13 or 3.5.2)
