Using Firefox With Your Tablet PC

I am an avid Tablet PC user that has always been disappointed that Firefox doesn’t support the Tablet PC inputs. An extension was made awhile back (years ago) to allow Firefox users to get the ‘Tip’ functionality, but was never updated. The extension fell apart when Firefox 1.5 was released so someone else had updated it. Now, there is another update, and this time they took it a long way!

Inhabitat’s Week in Green: of space elevators, floating cities and solar sheltered drinking machines

Posted in: electric vehicle, ElectricVehicle, LED, solar, solar power, SolarPower, Today's Chili

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green.

This week Inhabitat showcased several incredible examples of futuristic architecture, starting with an epic floating ark that houses a self-sustaining city at sea. We also saw a plan to harness carbon nanotubes to create the world’s first space elevator, and we brought you an ingenious solar-powered shelter that harvests and purifies rainwater for drinking.

In other news, Asia revved up the world of eco transportation as South Korea unveiled the world’s first commercial electric bus, and Beijing launched a plan to cut eliminate gridlock by cutting vehicle registration by 2/3. We also checked in on the electric Bluebird supercar, which is gearing up to break the UK land speed record next year, and we took an in-depth look at the year’s best electric vehicles.

Finally, welcome to 2011! As the final countdown rang out we took a look at Times Square’s dazzling 2011 eco ball, which is studded with 32,256 LEDs. We also looked back on Inhabitat’s top green energy, transportation, and tech stories of 2010, and we rounded up the year’s best green products and wearable technology concepts that stand to change the way we get dressed for the day. And if you’re running errands this week to return any unwanted holiday gifts, check out Amazon’s new preemptive return tool – it could save you a trip next year.

Dell’s IPS and multitouch ST2220T finally shipping to tilting monitor seekers

Posted in: monitor, multitouch, screen, Today's Chili
Well, it took a bit longer than we anticipated for Dell’s glorious 21.5-inch multitouch ST2220T monitor with an IPS panel to roll into e-tailers — last we had heard it was planned for late Fall 2010 — but we promise you, this one is better late than never. The 1920 x 1080-resolution display is finally available through both Dell and LogicBuy, and if you’re anything like us, just a glance at the picture above has you figuring out just how quickly you can get together $310 (there’s a $20 discount now and free shipping from LogicBuy). Naturally, the IPS display is said to provide extra wide viewing angles, but perhaps even more enticing is the monitor’s A-frame stand, which tilts the screen forward, backward and even flat. Put that all together with its infrared multitouch and you’ve got a larger than life tablet for gaming and watching Netflix. So, you blowing some of that Christmas cash or what?

Love Plus SIM girls charge up phones, consoles

Posted in: gaming, PRODUCT INNOVATIONS, Today's Chili

One of the biggest trends last year was the promotion of otaku favorite game Love Plus to the higher and more mainstream echelons of the iPhone and, even more interestingly, the emergence of tie-ins with travel and karaoke services.

The band wagon will keep on rolling till its run out of steam, of course. Not content to simply play the virtual dating SIM game on your mobile phone or DS, even when charging your handset up you may want to get your fix of cute character charm.

love-plus-energy-phone-charger-1

Enter the new Love Plus Phone Charger, which works with your Japanese cellphone, iPhone or game console and is, needless to say, fully decorated with one of the game’s leading ladies. Apparently every activity, no matter how mundane, can now be refined to have relevance to your SIM romance.

After choosing which girl you want (Manaka, Nene or Rinko) you then have to put on your patience cap and wait till February for the official release. No doubt, if this latest merchandise is a hit then there’ll be more to tempt the wallets of otaku consumers. The local price is 5,480 yen (about $67.50), which, though the charger works with a lot of different handsets, still seems quite a lot to pay to the uninitiated at least.

HTC Thunderbolt has 8 megapixel camera and video chat, according to the ad up there

Posted in: ad, ads, advertising, Android, exclusive, HTC, leak, leaks, smartphone, Smartphones, thunderbolt, Today's Chili

HTC’s slogan is “quietly brilliant,” and the company’s living up to it right now — it snuck new details about its mystery handset directly under our nose. What you see above are three screencaps from a banner ad running on the pages of Engadget even as we speak, hinting at an 8 megapixel imager, a sizable screen, and perhaps even 4G video chat. Why, hello there HTC Thunderbolt / Mecha / Droid Incredible HD, and hurray for controlled leaks!

[Thanks, Taylor S.]

Samsung Galaxy Player up for pre-order at Amazon UK, £150 buys 8GB worth of Android Market apps

Posted in: amazon, Android, android market, AndroidMarket, PMP, pre-order, PreOrder, samsung, Today's Chili, uk

We Americans may not see it until summer, but Samsung’s 3.2-inch Galaxy Player is about to call Europe home, as following French presales the PMP has now appeared at Amazon UK. There, it’s sporting a tentative January 7th release date and a pair of capacities and prices, with a modest £150 (about $234) nabbing you 8GB of storage and £180 (roughly $280) fully doubling that capacity to 16GB. Apple’s iPod touch is the obvious comparison here, and it’s shaping up to be a valid one — while there’s no Retina Display to be had here, it’s hard to sneeze at the real Android Market and some decent codec (OGG / FLAC / XviD / DivX) support. Unless you’ve got a cold or something.

[Thanks, Paul]

How Are The PS3′s And Wii’s Doing On eBay?

Posted in: gaming, nintendo, playstation, Today's Chili

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

PS3/Wii on eBay

It has almost been a week and it looks like the sales of PS3′s and Wii’s have dwindled down a bit on eBay. I have seen some of the Playstation 3′s go for as low as $850 which is just a few hundred above the actual cost of the system. That’s not that bad considering the fact that the “real” sales on eBay were previously going for around $3000. The Nintendo Wii is  also extremely reasonable and will only run you around $400 on eBay.

Looking through the auctions will reveal some amazingly clever schemes to try and get people to buy from them. One of the most common things is having a girl pose with the system. Some of them even appear to be topless (even though nothing is visible) in hopes of getting a little boost in sales. This auction, for example, says that the girl will hand deliver the Playstation 3 to the winner if the sale got above $19,000…but the auction has already ended and it didn’t even get a bid at the ridiculous $10,000 starting price.

When I sorted the listings according to price this was one of the first ones to come up. That is because the starting price is $1 million but they are kindly accepting and promptly declining offers. What’s so special about this auction? With the current 72 offers and more than 10,000 views this is what they are offering:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON FOUR BRAND NEW PLAYSTATION 3 (60GB) PLUS FOUR NEW NINTENDO WIIs!!!!  YOU ALSO GET 1 OF EVERY GAME YOU WANT FROM OUR HUGE LISTS BELOW!!!  These will all be PERSONALLY hand delivered to 4 addresses of your choice!!!… I WILL LITERALLY FLY/DRIVE TO THE ADDRESSES YOU GIVE ME DRESSED UP LIKE SANTA!

The auction is actually a little misleading because it says you get 1 of every game that is listed…but looking at the pictures makes me think you get 1 of every game for every system! It is absolutely crazy what some people come up with and are able to get their hands on.

MSI details Sandy Bridge, Fusion all-in-ones ahead of CES, teases a sliding screen

Posted in: 1080p, AMD, intel, msi, multitouch, sandy bridge, SandyBridge, Today's Chili, touchscreen, usb 3.0, Usb3.0

We just finished reviewing a feature-packed MSI Wind Top, but come CES next week we’ll have three more to try: the AE2410, AE2210 and AE2050, each with the very latest silicon inside. Notebook Italia reports that the Taiwanese computer company’s using Intel’s new Sandy Bridge CPUs in each of its 24- and 22-inch rigs, and grabbed a low-power AMD Brazos APU for the likely budget 20-inch model — which will reportedly still include a Blu-ray drive like its Core 2 Duo cousin. All three will sport 1080p touchscreen displays and USB 3.0 ports, but also a spiffy new feature called Super Charger that will charge attached USB gadgets even when the computer is off. Innovations, to be sure, but perhaps not as exciting as the concept items pictured above and below — up top is the MSI Butterfly, which reportedly has a sliding multitouch screen with ten points of contact, and after the break, see the luxurious MSI Angelow. Here’s hoping for prices, specs and high-res pictures once we get to the show.

New Google Accounts Page Starts To Appear
 

It looks like there is a report that Google has started to test (or possibly roll out) a new Accounts page. I have only heard of this one person receiving this new page so we aren’t quite sure if this is a Photoshop job, a testing page, or something they are slowly starting to roll out and no one has noticed yet. Let us know if anyone else sees this page!
