Hasta La Gadget!

Look out, the world, Netflix is coming for you. Speaking with a reporter during a recent interview, Steve Swasey, a spokesman for the video rental/streaming service announced that, after a successful launch in the great white north, the company is looking to expand its services into a number of other countries.

” After a short period in Canada we’re now talking about other regions in the world, so that’s a good indicator,” Swasey said, without actually mentioning any specifics. “We’re extremely pleased with the reception in Canada and … based on the early success of Netflix.ca we’re going to continue our international expansion next year and we’re going to allocate significant dollars to it.”

The company has also apparently learned something regarding its still limited selection, in light of the Canada launch. “The one lesson learned in Canada, because we’re new and because there was that one little complaint about new releases,” Swasey explained, “is we’re going to be very proactive in announcing when we have new titles … we’re going to be more focused on specific titles as we announce them in Canada.”

Radio Shack is extending its iPhone sale until Friday December 31st, thanks to a number of store sellouts. The retailer is offering up the 16GB iPhone 4 for $148.99 through the end of the year. The 8GB version of its predecessor, the iPhone 3Gs, is priced at $48.99. Both models are marked down $51 from their suggested retail price.

The company is also offering some sweet deals on refurbished iPhones, with the 16GB and 32GB versions of the iPhone 4 running $124 and $224, respectively. A refurbed 3Gs, meanwhile, will cost you nothing with a new contract (or $24 with a contract upgrade).

Radio Shack is calling the deal its “Lowest Price Ever on iPhone.” Actually finding a store with some in stock may prove a bit tricky, however.

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.
