Karotz to start shipping, Nabaztag to return from dead for Easter
Posted in: Email, launch, network, Today's Chili
Cadbury aside, nothing says Easter quite like a good resurrection tale, and this story’s got it — starring a rabbit, no less. Owners of Nabaztag, the email-reading / weather-forecasting / and generally adorable WiFi-enable desktop buddy, have been reporting a massive die-off of their beloved ambient bunnies, a tragic end due to a recent server move. The rabbits’ manufacturer tells us that the network issues should be resolved by next week — something of a belated Easter celebration. The rebirth is also perfectly timed to welcome Nabataztag’s second coming as Karotz — those who pre-ordered should start seeing the glowing woodland creature in their mailboxes next week.

Autosizer is a unique Firefox extension that doesn’t just let you resize the Search Box, instead it will resize it for you. When there is no text in the search box it will take up very little room but as soon as you start typing it will dynamically adjust the width to give you more room for your search.
The new version was just released last week and is only compatible with Firefox 2. As you can see in the images to the right it works very well on a variety of themes which is great news for anyone that doesn’t use the default one.
In the options you can set the minimum and maximum width of the Search Box (which by default is 0 and 400 pixels, respectively). One other thing that this extension includes in the options is the ability to clear the text from the Search Bar everytime you submit a search. I always found it very annoying that Firefox didn’t do this automatically (or at least have an option to do it) but I didn’t have a problem living with it. However, this feature is even more important if you are using the extension because you don’t want the Search Box constantly taking up 100′s of pixels after you have performed your search and aren’t using it anymore. If you set it to clear itself it will automatically shrink back down to its more collapsed state after you have submitted your search. This extension is absolutely ingenious!

Archos 7c tablet with Eclair, kickstand now shipping for $220
Posted in: android tablet, AndroidTablet, archos, Today's Chili
Well, isn’t today our lucky day? Just a week after debuting on video, the Archos 7c Home Tablet is shipping in the US for $220 — more than a month ahead of its expected June arrival. As a refresher, this 7-inch tablet offers a capacitive (800 x 480) display, Android 2.1 (Eclair), and a Cortex A8 processor-RK2918 chipset combo that promises smooth 720p video playback. Other specs include 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, two built-in speakers, and that kickstand you see in the photo above. Of course, you’ll also have to forgo niceties like wireless-N, cameras, and access to Android Market. Are those trade-offs worth the dirt-cheap price? That’s a decision you’re going to have to make for yourself.
[Thanks, Elliott]

iPads Outnumber Linux Machines on the Web
Posted in: Apple, ipad, ipad 2, Linux, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili
According to a study by Royal Pingdom and data from Statcounter that covered over 3 million Web sites, the iPad along makes up more hits on the sites that collected data than all of the Linux machines that visited those same sites combined. The big news from the study initially was that Windows 7 users had finally outnumbered Windows XP users, but when the team looked more closely at the numbers of operating systems near the bottom of the list, they uncovered the surprising stats.
Overall, Windows systems still make up well over 80% of all of the visitors to the Websites in the Statcounter study, but down at the bottom, all Linux users and distros only accounted for 0.71% of all visits. The iPad however, even with the iPhone and iPod Touch removed from the numbers, accounted for 1.18%. That makes the iPad a more popular “desktop” platform than Linux, which is a turn of events few expected.
At the same time, it’s just as possible that all of the Linux users out there simply aren’t surfing the Web on their computers, or that the majority of Linux systems in use aren’t built for Web browsing. At the same time though, it’s clear that Linux on the desktop doesn’t have the traction that the iPad does.
