It's official. Mozilla has finally released the final version of Firefox 3.5. Head on over to Firefox.com to download the 8 MB file. Some of the new features include: Speed! The browser will have a new JavaScript engine for faster Web applications such as Google Docs, and was built from the ground up to make browsing faster. According to Mozilla, "Firefox 3.5 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and ten times as fast as Firefox 2". Private browsing mode. IE and Safari have had this feature for several months now, so it's good to hear Mozilla finally jumped on the bandwagon. While most people will joke that this is only for raging porn-addicts, this feature is actually quite useful for people surfing on public computers or who need to hide certain things from prying eyes like medical conditions. The ability to watch video built into Web pages without plug-ins. Good for the noobs out there who don't know how to get said plug-ins. Fancy downloadable fonts! This should make browsing more enjoyable and customizable. It will also fix Firefox's famous printing problems. Geolocation technology that can let Web sites know where you are.

I'll continue extolling the virtues of Windows 7 with an interesting feat by a fellow geek. User hackerman1 from The Windows Club forums was able to run Windows 7 on a Pentium II 266 Mhz with only 96 MB of RAM. Microsoft claims you need at least 1 GB of RAM and 1 Ghz processor to run 7, but it's looking like this may not be necessary. (Click the above image for the large version) Microsoft gives it's official minimum requirements as: 1 GHz or faster processor 1 GB RAM (32-bit) / 2 GB RAM (64-bit) 16 GB available disk space DirectX 9 graphics processor

Ever since Lifehacker did a post on a standard PC running OSx86, I've been amazed at how fast the community has progressed. After buying a new laptop a few months (and discovering Keynote), I decided the time was right to do a dual-boot of Windows 7 and OSX. Why Build A Hackintosh Obviously, we all have our reasons for wanting to do this. My reason is pretty simple - because I can. I guess I have a hacker mentality, but I want to do this out of sheer curiosity. Malmborg, on the other hand, is unhappy that his work took his Macbook away and gave him a Dell, and he wants to get back to his productive ways. Whether you plan on dual-booting OSX with Windows, or you want to make this your default operating system is up to you. I will be explaining the do's and dont's of installing the software so you can be more informed on the process. The Legal Bit Installing the software is more complicated than just using a regular Leopard install disc on your computer. You will need to go to a torrent site to download one of the many OSx86 releases available, and because of this  there ...

I know the last post was a little anti-iPhone, but there are many people out there who rely on unlocked iphones so knowing there will be a 3.0 unlock will be of great relief to many.  A lot of people upgraded their phones to the 2.30.03 baseband and your phones became locked and unusable, well now for all who have been waiting the wonderful Dev-Team has found a hole in the new 3.0 baseband 04.26.08 that will be unlock-able and this Friday they will release it.  Not much news has been reported about how the unlock works and that is because they want to be careful not to release too much info so Apple can’t fix the hole.  The Dev-Team is an amazing group and deserves much thanks because they have made iPhones usable and much more productive, so jump to the link and check out the video and maybe even send some love to the Dev-Team.  They do this all for free and enjoy notes of how helpful their work is.  The jailbreak will be available shortly since it is midnight and the official 3.0 release should be out now, so if you have AT&T feel free to jailbreak, ...
