Hasta La Gadget!

For whatever reason, Apple has a thing with ten billion. The outfit served up its ten billionth iTune right around this time last year, and more importantly, served its one billionth app in April of 2009. In just 1.5 years, the company has seen that figure soar nearly tenfold, which is impressive no matter how you slice it. Of course, we’re quite curious to know if this includes duplicate downloads, app updates and just free or paid apps, but regardless, there’s no question that Cupertino (and quite a few developers) are raking it in. Of course, the explosion of the iPad certainly helped boost the download frequency, and if we had to guess, we’d say it’ll take even less time to double up this milestone. You know, once next month happens. Oh, and if you get lucky enough, you could score a $10,000 iTunes gift card if you just so happen to download the ten billionth app — make sure it’s a good one.

Oh, sure — you’re making much use of that Zipcar app already, but what if the tables were turned somewhat? For suburbanites with two cars in the garage (one of which is collecting major dust), Getaround’s mobile app allows you to be Zipcar. Put simply, those with a spare vehicle (or a vehicle that routinely stays parked for certain blocks of time each day) can load their vehicle, location, schedule and price into the app, and then nearby Earthlings can poke around and see what’s on offer. If they’re interested in taking your ride for a spin, they can hit you up via the app and agree on how many hours / days / weeks they’ll be needing it. In essence, you’re looking at peer-to-peer car sharing, with Getaround snagging 30 percent of the rental rate; speaking of rate, that can range between $4 and $25 per hour, with the owner setting the price. Those based in San Francisco can tap into the source link to become involved in the beta, and don’t be shocked if you see a Tesla Roadster listed for $25/hour — that’s actually one of Getaround’s first customers, and you can rest assured that red beauty will be calling your name this weekend.

Flock has always been focused on the social side of the web, and there’s no browser that integrates better with all of the popular social networks. They have decided to take it one step further by offering a special edition of their browser that is targeted towards fashion and entertainment enthusiasts that adore the color pink.

When you first fire up the Flock Gloss Edition browser you’ll probably be taken back by it’s vast use of pink. But don’t be deceived because the skin isn’t the only thing that has changed. When you go digging into the RSS feeds and bookmarks you’ll see that they’ve already taken the liberty of populating them with the most popular fashion, celebrity news, lifestyle, shopping, and magazine websites from around the web.

The Flock Gloss Edition is supposed to be more fun for those interested in this type of thing, and the Flock team describes it best when they say “Your friends are always there – just like celebrities in rehab.” You can download the Flock Gloss Edition here if it sounds like something you or your better half would enjoy.

Note: This is still the version of Flock that is based on Firefox 2, not Firefox 3.

Microsoft just a short while ago updated Internet Explorer 7 and it is titled “Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview”. The build number is 5335 and the most recent build available until now was 5299. I am sure there are just a bunch of minor fixes in this build and it weighs in at 11.2MB! Jump over and get it if you are an Internet Explorer fan otherwise you can hang out and wait for the official release of Firefox 2 Alpha 1 tomorrow.

Also, if you already have IE7 installed then you will be forced to uninstall it before you can install this version. If you go to the Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel to uninstall it then make sure you to check the box that says “Show Updates” otherwise you will never see the IE7 option to uninstall.

For those people not running a genuine copy of Windows then you might be able to use these instructions to install this build. I did not test it with those instructions so once someone has tested it then please post here letting us know if it works.

Last year we provided a thorough guide on how you can recover lost bookmarks in Firefox, but as an anonymous reader pointed out some of the tips provided no longer work in Firefox 3. This is because Mozilla revamped the bookmarking system so that it performs better, and is also capable of more advanced functionality such as tagging. The good news is that recovering lost bookmarks in Firefox 3 is even easier than it was before!

What you need to do now is go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore, and then select the date of one of the backups (the date is in year-month-day format). You’ll then receive a prompt asking if you’re sure you want to replace all of your existing bookmarks with those from the backup, and once you hit the OK button you’ll be all set.

Any site you’ve bookmarked since the last backup will be lost since this does replace your current bookmarks. For that reason you may want to consider performing a manual backup before proceeding with restoring your old bookmarks. This can be done using the Backup option located right above the Restore option. You’ll then be asked where you want to save the file, and restoring them is as simple as going to Restore -> Choose File.

Feel free to adjust the number of automatic bookmark backups kept by Firefox 3, which is still the same from our previous guide.
