  Bummer news for Netflix fans with non-Intel Apple machines at home. Looks like we're going to be waiting until 2008 before we're afforded the opportunity to try out the service's very cool Watch Now feature. According to a post over at Gizmodo, the delay has to do with Apple's refusal to license their own DRM. There are also delays on the

  Los Straitjackets are the instrumental surf-rock band from Nashville who perform wearing Mexican wrestling masks. Don't ask why. Their rockabilly singing pal Big Sandy and East L.A. legend Little Willie G. joined up with them for this year's Rock En Espanol, Vol. 1, produced by Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos. The album is a set of covers of

  Even with its (*cough* Firefox-like) improvements, Internet Explorer 7 isn't exactly dominating the scene the way its predecessor did. However, Microsoft has just ironed out a few kinks in the app, according to ExtremeTech. A Windows Genuine Advantage validation check will no longer be mandatory for download or install. Rather, the app can be

  Funny thing about working for a software blog: We often find ourselves getting excited about various apps, but very rarely do they find a place in our day-to-day computing. The process generally goes something like this:: 1. We get pitched and/or hear some buzz about a new app. 2. We try it out. 3. We pan it, or fall in love and write all kind

  until next February, and the 914 / 914c isn't set to arrive until the cows come home May of 2008. As for the 314, you can still expect it by the end of next month. Granted, we can't confirm that Austria-based delays will necessarily affect America and the rest of the globe, but it certainly isn't confidence instilling news, regardless. Read

• Firefox Leaving in 80% of Bugs for 3.0 Final Release

  Published: November 16, 2007, 11:55 am

  Tags: Browsers, 4279, 914

  File this one in the "at least the company's being honest" department. Mozilla announced earlier this week via its Web site that it is planning to fix only 20 percent of Firefox 3.0's known bugs before the latest version of the browser is released in its final version next year. The company asked that developers prioritize the known bugs in the

The site quizzes users on vocabulary words and donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program for every word guessed correctly.

• SXSW: Browser Wars Become Browser Peace? Not Quite

  Last year's Browser Wars panel wasn't very well attended, considering the subject matter (maybe it was the 10 am start time). But the powers that be have moved the panel to the afternoon, kept the same cast of characters, and this year's Part II of the panel has a capacity crowd. And, as it was last year, it's the best SXSW panel I've seen this

• Mozilla Launches Firefox 3.0 RC1, and It's Great

  Published: May 20, 2008, 10:04 am

  Tags: Browsers, 914, 2942

  Over the weekend, the Mozilla Foundation released Firefox 3.0 RC1, the first major step on the way to an improved Firefox browser. Personally, I highly recommend you give this a try; since it installs alongside your existing Firefox installation, you don't have to worry about overwriting key files, and the beta pulls your existing bookmarks into

  HHOTT will be launching a free plug-in called the Safe Browsing Add-On (now in beta) on May 30th. Quite honestly, it's not that hot yet. The HHOTT View Add-On claims to offer clickless browsing that allows users to quickly view Web content without clicking or leaving the current Web page, and safe browsing that protects users against phishing

  Firerfox is my browser. Part of what I like is its ability to be customized and expanded using add-ons. I also see a little of Mr. Burns in Bill Gates. Firefox or not, one of my bigger problems stems from the number of PCs I use. I have a laptop and a few desktop machines at home. I also wrangle a few machines at work. Different

  heard about HP's iPAQ 900 / 914 3G Business Messenger in September of last year, and after a series of delays (which seem to be endemic to the iPAQ line), it looks like the device is finally set to start shipping. Nothing much has changed, except that a Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a 2.46-inch display, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, and a 3 megapixel
