Portable Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 (Release Candidate)

Mozilla has released yet another Release Candidate for Beta 1 of Firefox 2. I have put together a portable version to tide you over until Beta 1 officially gets released later this week.

All you have to do is download the Portable Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate 3 file below. Then you unzip the file and browse for the file PortableFirefox.exe. Just execute that file and you will be running Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate 3! The profile is kept with the PortableFirefox folder so you don’t have to worry about messing up your other profile and the uninstallation process is simple…just delete the folder!

Update:
I have also put together a nice guide for those people looking to tweak Firefox 2 Beta 1.

Motorola Morrison engineering sketches emerge, has Android written all over it

Okay, so maybe there’s not literally any text penciled in on these drawings, but if you’ve been looking for multiple angles of Motorola’s sure-to-be-forthcoming Morrison, these are about as good as it gets. Not surprisingly, the design here seems pretty conventional; for all intents and purposes, it’s just a QWERTY-packin’, full touchscreen slider smartphone with all the makings of a sub-$100 (on contract) Android offering. Hit the read link if you’re eager for more, and go on grab another handful of patience while you’re at it.

Sony Ericsson ‘Jalou’ next in company’s Symbian lineup? (Update: maybe, but this isn’t it)

We’ve yet to see a Satio or XPERIA X2 or X3 at retail, but it looks like Sony Ericsson have yet another full touch phone in the works as it tries to revitalize and reinvent itself with a renewed focus on Android, Symbian Foundation, and Windows Mobile for its smartphone lineup. What we’re looking at here is claimed to be a spy shot of the Jalou — that’s a retail name, not a codename, by the way — which is said to run S60 5th Edition (just like the Satio) with WiFi, GPS, and some form of HSDPA on board. The Sony Ericsson fan base is pretty notorious for crafting beautiful, very believable concept devices using nothing more than Illustrator and an overactive imagination, so we’d urge caution here — but other than a display that seems to have been blacked out, it all seems believable enough. The bigger question might be whether the world’s ready for two Symbian-based touchscreen smartphones from Sony Ericsson in the next few months.

Update: Yep, sure enough, that “notorious fan base” we just mentioned came out swinging with this one, a heavily-modified concept based on the W995. In other words, if the Jalou exists, this isn’t it. Thanks, synn!

Transmission Audio Ultimate speakers — $1M for the best monophonic sound ever

Transmission Audio Ultimate speaker, woofer panel

We didn’t think anything would top Goldmund’s $190,000 Telos 5000 amplifier, but we should have known better. Bloated excess knows no bounds, so coming in at a cool $1,000,000 per side, we’ve got Transmission Audio’s Ultimate speakers. Each channel consists of six, 7-foot high panels (one supertweeter ribbon, two tweeter/midrange ribbons, one 24×8-inch woofer, and two 10×15-inch subwoofer); taken together, a stereo pair of the Ultimates will eat up a modest 37-foot swath of your living room airplane hangar. Even people with more money than sense like convenience, though, so the Ultimate takes a page from the HTIB crowd and bundles in six 500-Watt dual-mono amplifiers and a preamp. At these prices, you’d think Transmission Audio could afford some bandwidth, but the company website has been stripped of photos at the moment, so hit the read link for more eye candy.

Tony Hawk Ride Limited Edition skateboard outed as UK version gets priced and dated

While details aren’t 100 percent confirmed for those of us across the pond — Activision has yet to come out and verify those October 20th / $120 listingsTony Hawk Ride and its white not-quite-skateboard will be launching November 20th in the United Kingdom for £99.99, or about $168 in US currency. European retailer GAME will be selling a limited edition version of the game, which will sport a red and black skateboard and surprisingly no markup in price whatsoever. You know, it’s a good thing the console cycle seems to be extending beyond its formerly four-year pattern, because these plastic peripherals are gonna be doing a number on our bank accounts.

Ask Engadget: Best 20- to 24-inch LCD monitor with HDMI / DVI?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Geoff, who is hoping to find a new LCD to serve two masters.

“I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!”

The glaring omission of a price limit here has us a bit scared, but we get the feeling Sir Geoff isn’t looking to shatter the bank. Keep in mind that a speedy refresh rate will be needed for the gaming aspect, and it needs an HDMI and DVI socket at the very least. Get those gears a-grindin’!

Microfluidic chip does 1,000 parallel chemical reactions, looks glorious

We’d never considered a career in biochemistry until we saw this wild beast of a chemical microprocessor. Microfluidic chips, used to test chemical reactions and properties, have been known to be smaller, but they’ve never before been quite this powerful. The result of a joint study between California State University, UCLA and China’s Wuhan University, the “integrated microfluidic device” is capable of performing 1,024 in situ chemical reactions at a time, making the researcher’s life, oh, about 1,024 times easier. Most importantly though, costly enzymes previously used for a single test can now be split up into hundreds and tested simultaneously, which should pave the way for exponentially faster and easier medical research. It’s not clear when these will be widely available, but we’re sure PhDs around the world are trying to order one as we speak.

High-end Samsung AMOLED phone coming Q4 to Sprint, sub-$100 Android phone due out next year

Ûber-green Reclaim might be taking center stage today, having found itself a home with Sprint, but Samsung had a couple other forward-thinking comments that we think are worth highlighting. For starters, the Now Network should expect to carry a high-end, AMOLED device from the phone maker in the fourth quarter of this year. That description, however, fits the bill for any number of Sammy phones currently in the works — if we had to take a shot in the dark, we’d be anxious to know what screen technology is inside the oft-rumored InstinctQ. Looking ahead to 2010, Reclaim product manager mentioned to NY Times that it’ll be launching an Android device “for well under $100” next year — looks like the HTC Click is gonna have itself some competition, after all. Hey Sammy, you know what’d be great? A smartphone that was Android, AMOLED, and under $100 — we can dream, can’t we?

Gadgettes 149: The single-purpose gadgets episode

OK. So we promised you on last week’s episode that we would do a single-purpose gadgets episode this week. Turns out, promising that type of thing in advance isn’t such a good idea as we actually had to work to find gadgets that fit the theme. So we made it, but admittedly by the skin of our collective teeth. It’s all worth it for the segments, though. Patience, young grasshopper!

Iowa 911 call center now accepting texts; Twitter and Facebook status updates can’t be far behind

As of this week, callers can now text their requests for fire, police, or ambulance, to the emergency call center in Black Hawk County, Iowa — both a nationwide first and a definite improvement for deaf and hard-of-hearing residents who have thus far had to rely on TDD devices. Unlike voice calls, however, the 911 operator can’t get your location from a text message, meaning that the caller must first respond to a request for their city or zip code before the call gets routed. Currently, only i wireless subscribers (a local carrier affiliated with T-Mobile) can use the service, but plans are afoot to bring other carriers on board as well. Other future upgrades include the ability to accept video and picture messages. All the operators ask is that you refrain from sending them those silly chain text messages — that sort of thing can be really distracting when you’re busy saving lives.
