Scott Gilbertson writes about the upcoming Firefox 3.6 beta release.
“Mozilla has pushed back the release of the first Firefox 3.6 beta … but when Firefox 3.6 beta 1 does arrive it will include support for several new Windows 7 features. Currently the schedule calls for the first beta of Firefox 3.6 to arrive on October 21, one day before Microsoft’s official release of Windows 7. Firefox 3.6 is expected to ship some time before the end of 2009.”
Memorex MyVideo pocket camcorders are content to fit the mold
The Register
Donald Melanson provides details around a pocket camcorder product available from Memorex.
“A bit (of) digging turns up some expectedly standard specs, however, including 4GB of memory and an HDMI port on the MyVideo HD model and 2GB and no HDMI on the MyVideo VGA, along with a two-inch screen and the usual integrated USB connector on each. Then again, they do just cost $99.99 and $129.99, and seem like a prime candidate for discounts in the run up to the holiday season.”
Tripod Mounted Laptop Stand For Photographers and Mobile Workers
ZD Net
Charlie Sorrel describes a laptop stand from Tallyn.”
“The Laptop Deck from Tallyn’s is an oversized tripod head and flat panel onto which you can fix a laptop, or a really, really big camera. It has a ball-and socket head and is adjustable to fit computers of up to 17-inch in size, and at $85 is dirt cheap in comparison to most photographic kit. The idea is that photographers shooting tethered to their laptops will have somewhere safe to put the computer.”
