Mozilla Prepares Automatic Updater For Firefox Users

This article was written on September 22, 2006 by CyberNet.

Mozilla is currently testing an update process for those people who will be making major updates (such as from Firefox 1.5.x to Firefox 2). They currently activated the new process for people who are upgrading from one nightly build to another nightly build.

The reason they are doing this is because some people don’t like to update to the latest software, heck, some people are still using Firefox 1.0.x! For that reason they don’t want to constantly bug people to upgrade to the latest version which is why they allow people to choose “Never” to upgrade to the latest major release.

The “Update Available” screen:

Scientific Data Is Disappearing All the Time

Scientific Data Is Disappearing All the Time

When a study gets published and its results enter our collective body of scientific knowledge it feels like it’s there to stay. But without the raw data behind the study, it’s hard to revisit the research and use it to take new ideas to the next level. Which is why it’s such a problem that old data is disappearing.

HARMAN introduces JBL Studio 2 loudspeakers

studio2HARMAN intends to celebrate the 67th year of JBL’s history by introducing a new generation of loudspeakers that they call the JBL Studio 2. These new speaker models will boast of high-definition imaging that has been derived straight from the JBL Professional M2 Master Reference Monitor. It does not matter whether you are listening to your favorite tune or watching your favorite movies, JBL’s unmatched reputation will be able to deliver the kind of audio in a way that it is meant to be heard by the artist or director. With the introduction of the JBL Studio 2 range of loudspeakers, this all-new lineup will boast of five full-range speakers that will arrive in a choice of three floorstanding and two bookshelf models that will be complemented by multiple center, surround, and subwoofer options.

Ranging from simple 2.0 stereo to advanced 9.2-channel surround systems for home theaters, the JBL Studio 2 series would be the ideal home for very different audio sources including CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, satellite TV/radio, vinyl records, portable media, streaming services, and gaming consoles among others. Each of the speakers will be able to offer astounding imaging, natural balance, and remarkable detail and accuracy regardless of its position in the room. It will fall back on computer-optimized drivers and crossover network integration in order to deliver a lifelike, three-dimensional soundstage backed by deep, powerful bass.

Needless to say, the design in the JBL Studio 2 loudspeakers would arrive in sophisticated and modern speaker cabinetry form, boasting of sleek soft edges, elegant gloss black top panels, and luxurious finishes that will enhance and complement any decor or setting. You will find JBL’s proven acoustic superiority underneath each model that has been rigorously backed by real-world testing, evaluation, and experience. With 10 new speaker models to choose from, you are really spoilt for choice when it comes to flexible system configurations, and you can choose from black and espresso wood grain finishes.

BBM For BlackBerry 10 Beta Features Real Time Location Sharing And Voice Notes

BBM For BlackBerry 10 Beta Features Real Time Location Sharing And Voice Notes

If BlackBerry has anything going for it right now, its certainly BBM. The once iconic BlackBerry exclusive messaging service was opened up to iOS and Android earlier this year and it gained a lot of popularity. 20 million people signed up in the first week alone, whereas BlackBerry Messenger was able to pull in 40 million new users overall across both platforms. The company is committed to BBM and continues to improve it, the latest BBM for BlackBerry 10 has been rolled out in a limited public beta and it comes with two major new features.

The first major feature that BBM for BlackBerry 10 brings is real time voice notes. Sending voices notes is now extremely easy through BBM beta on BB10, users simply need to press a button, speak up and release the button to send. The voice notes move fast, its almost akin to having push-to-talk enabled on the smartphone. Glympse is the second major feature included in this beta BBM build. It lets a BBM contact access your location in real time for a specified duration after which the location becomes private again. It is not known when this BBM build will be out of beta and will be released publicly for all BlackBerry 10 users. It is certainly going to take a lot of time before this feature is brought over to iOS and Android. [Image via Berryreview]

    olloclip introduces iPhone 5c 3-in-1 clip-on photo lens

    olloclip-iphone5cSo far, the idea of a “budget” iPhone did not really take off in a big way, as the iPhone 5c from Apple has not managed to tear up the sales records at all, regardless of the number of countries that it has been released in. In fact, it is the far more expensive iPhone 5s that has experienced pretty good sales figures, mainly the gold color, too. It just goes to show how far your brand’s perception can bring a particular product, and with the huge popularity of the iPhone 5s, there are plenty of accessories that have been released for it along the way. What about the iPhone 5c? Are there any accessories that could roll out in its direction? olloclip has not forgotten about the iPhone 5c, having introduced the award-winning 3-IN-1 clip-on photo lens solution in five hot colors for the iPhone 5c.

    This 3-in-1 clip-on photo lens intends to take full advantage of the iPhone 5c’s 8-megapixel iSight camera. It will merge fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package. The asking price? $59.99 a pop, where you can also opt to mix and match it with the new iPhone 5c.

    Small enough to be able to fit into your pocket without any complaints, and you are also able to carry it around in the palm of your hand without missing a beat. This would make it the ideal camera accessory to capture and share life’s experiences while you are constantly on the move. Apart from that, the olloclip would also make life easier for iPhone 5c mobile photographers as it will enhance their shots and videos, all the while playing nice with popular apps such as Instagram, Facebook and iPhone’s Camera, iPhoto and iMovie built-in apps.

    The wide-angle lens will nearly double the iPhone’s normal field of view, while the fisheye lens can capture approximately a 180° field-of-view, with the macro lens applying roughly a 10X magnification on macro shots.
