A new Macbook Pro with Core i7 could be out in the wild.
Macbook Pro Refresh?
If that is the new Macbook Pro (very well could be as it has the official BIOS.) then its refresh time soon.
While it is a dual core and not a quad-core (why?) it is 2.5x faster than the current Intel Core2 T5600.
Hmm seems that $10 is not enough for 3 of the major book publishers anymore.
After Apple revealed the iPad and its $15 book price for publishers 3 of the major book players (Haccette, Macmillan, HarperCollins) either jumped ship, or joined back with a new $15 price.
While it is only $5 more ebooks are now the same price as hardcovers so Amazon isn’t happy.
Looks like Apples iPad has officially knocked all the wind out of the kindle.
Attention to all Firefox users!
A add-on has been pulled as it is malicious.
“According to Mozilla, version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader was infected with Win32.LdPinch.gen, and all versions of Master Filer with Win32.Bifrose. Master Flier was removed from the repository on January 25 and had 600 downloads up to that date, while Sothink Web Video Downloader version 4.0 had around 4,000 downloads and was removed on February 2.” -Softpedia
Do an add-on check, if Firefox finds it, it will disable it.
Facebook yesterday passed its 6 year mark.
Facebook was born in 2004, and with 6 years under its belt is also celebrating 400 million active users.
At this rate Facebook will surpass Yahoo! in overall web traffic by the end of the year.
Currently 36-50 year olds are the most joining.
Moving a blog can be highly tedious at times (sometimes it can even lead to why?).
Free hosts usually don’t have enough space, features, or bandwidth that sometimes can crop up.
Moving to a paid host can be troubling since you have to redirect all of your old viewers (including RSS subscribers) to your new URL.
Or if you have a URL your blog could be down for a few hours to a few days because of the transfer, leading to your viewers thinking you have jumped ship.
CNET TV has a video on How To: Migrate your website (useful for those who don’t know how).
Earlier this year Apple launched iTunes preview.
This basically allowed you to preview music in your web browser without iTunes opening up.
Now Apple has done the same for Apps.
You can now do a web preview of iPhone apps.
Example: Super Monkey Ball 2
A nice and muchly needed preview.
For it to work you need to directly link to the app via the share button in iTunes.
We all at some time have either needed or wanted to disable flash in our web browsers.
Either because it’s hogging to many resources, crashing to often, or consuming too much bandwidth.
Maybe you even need to disable it for a while due to a new security hole.
CNET TV has a video on How To: Disable Flash player in your web browser.
