Hasta La Gadget!

A solution in search of a problem, or a solution to a problem that you were too proud to cop to? SoftEther has just revealed what might be the final blow to Barbie’s distinguished career: the sensor-splashed QUMA. So far as we can tell, the human-shaped puppet contains a myriad sensors to pick up precise bends and flexes, and then pipes that information to a screen. Aside from showing your team of ballerinas exactly how their routine should look, we’re guessing that the real future here is in far more sophisticated tasks — things like artificial intelligence, major motion pictures and scientific research. As the saying goes, a video’s worth a zillion words, so have a peek for yourself just after the break.

If you shelled out 600 clams for an unlocked Nexus S, buyer’s remorse starts now: the subsidized AT&T version is out today. Available exclusively from Best Buy (and exclusively in black), the AT&T Nexus S will set you back only a paltry $99 with a two-year contract. Is the loss of color choice (and that whole “SIM-locked to AT&T” thing) worth the savings? We’ll leave that up to you and your (Google) wallet.

Ubisoft giveth, and taketh away. Nintendo 3DS owners who were looking forward to their own Assassin’s Creed game will be disappointed to learn the project has been canceled. At the same time though, Ubisoft announced that they were planning new Assassin’s Creed games, specifically for new platforms like tablets like the iPad. The announcement that […]

Hello CyberNet readers!

My name is Chris Rossini and as Ryan pointed out nearly a month ago, I am the newest member of the CyberNet team. Over the last month, we have been busy putting together CyberNet’s newest site called “Learn Firefox.“

Learn Firefox is a visual guide to the Firefox web browser. Each tutorial contains plenty of screenshots and easy to follow instructions.

Today we are pleased to announce that Learn Firefox has a new feature: Videos!

Just about every post contains a short video tutorial to go along with it. This makes the process of learning Firefox even easier. Most of the videos play in a pop-up window, but there are some that are embedded in the posts themselves.

Click on the image below to view a sample:

For videos that are embedded in the posts, just click on the Play [>] button in the bottom left-hand corner. Here’s a sample:

Learn Firefox is not just for beginners. We have some good stuff in store for the more advanced users as well: In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be putting up video tutorials for our favorite extensions. Wouldn’t it be great to see an extension in action before downloading it?

There may be a few gems that have slipped under your radar, so if you want to stay in touch, you can grab the Learn Firefox feed here.

If anyone has a suggestion, or idea for a tutorial, please don’t hesitate: Send Us a Tip.

Finally, the CyberNet team would like to send a special thank you to DivShare for agreeing to host the Learn Firefox videos. Ryan & Ashley have covered DivShare here and here. As someone who uses DivShare on a daily basis, I can truly say that they’ve put together a top notch service!

You can visit the Learn Firefox home page here.

Things are lookin’ up in New England — particularly for those who crisscross Yawkey Way with an electric vehicle. A grand total of 142 EV charging stations are slated to hit The Bay State in the coming months, with 25 communities across the commonwealth to get gifted. Boston reports that the majority of ’em will be in “common commuter or traveler spots,” places like downtown parking garages, MBTA lots, shopping malls, etc. The bulk of the boxes will be part of the ChargePoint network, and we’re told that the rates for recharging will be set by “municipalities on public land and by property owners on private land,” depending on where each box is planted. So, is the charging station rollout between NY and MA the new Yankees vs. Red Sox? Nah, but a techie can dream.
