Hasta La Gadget!

The Firefox 1.5.0.5 release was originally scheduled for today but Mozilla has posted the release notes page and it has a release date of July 27 on it. I still think that they may be releasing it a little sooner because normally when they get the release notes page up that means the official release is soon to follow. Also, it appears that they were able to get the update files posted to the Mozilla FTP which are the files that Firefox uses to update itself. Even though the update files are there they have not posted the full downloads yet.

This release is only to increase Firefox’s stability and to address some security issues:

• Improvements to product stability
• Added changes for Frisian locale (fy-NL)
• Several security fixes

The link above that lists the security fixes has not been updated for Firefox 1.5.0.5 yet but it probably will be shortly.

Looks like the AMD Fusion netbook strategy may be to supplant Intel’s Atom wholesale in the leadup to CES, as Toshiba has just become the second manufacturer to swap out an Atom chip for a 1GHz AMD C-50 Ontario APU while leaving the rest of the design practically untouched. Notebook Italia just spotted this 10-inch Toshiba NB550D having a grand old time on the company’s German website, leisurely flexing its Harman Kardon speakers and newfound HDMI port, all the while dreaming about ways to upgrade its scant 1GB of DDR3 memory and 250GB of magnetic storage. Interestingly, Toshiba’s actually forecasting only 9.5 hours of battery life for the AMD version (compared to 10 hours with Intel’s 1.5GHz Atom N550 CPU), but we suppose that’s the price you pay to have Radeon HD 6250M graphics on board. We’ll try to get pricing and availability when we inevitably spot it at CES next week.

So you nabbed a webOS device over the holidays? Maybe you got yourself a Pixi or Pre Plus, or if you were really lucky, someone dropped a Pre 2 in your stocking.

Newark, New Jersey’s popular Mayor, Cory Booker, has had a novel reaction to the problems the blizzard is causing for his people: he’s listening to them, and trying to help. Shocking, we know. Even more interesting, of course, is the fact that he’s using Twitter to do so. While phone lines all over the tri-state area remain a joke (try calling an airline or public hotline), Twitter has presented Newark’s Mayor with a unique, and incredibly direct way of interacting with people who need help with everything from getting their streets plowed to delivering diapers — personally in many situations. While it’s not exactly enough to make us consider a move to Newark, it’s certainly impressive.

Watch out, Toshiba, your tiny SSD modules aren’t the only game in town for ludicrously small flash storage anymore. Intel’s just announced a new SSD 310 line that offers spectacularly minimal 51mm by 30mm by 5mm dimensions, while retaining X25-class performance (up to 200MBps read and 80MBps write speeds). To give you an idea of what those measurements mean, the industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor, an already diminutive footprint, is eight times larger than these newfangled storage chips. 40GB and 80GB variants of the SSD 310 are shipping out to OEMs already and Lenovo has confirmed it plans to roll these into its next refresh of the venerable ThinkPad laptop line. Prices are set at $99 and $179 (depending on size) when bought in batches of 1,000, though direct sales to end users are predictably off the table for now. Better start saving up for that next ultrathin laptop if you want one.
