I’m really, really looking forward to Firefox 3.
I love Firefox when it’s behaving, but mine has a tendency to suddenly lose interest in displaying a given page’s images, or finding its CSS. There are many memory leaks in Firefox 2 and 3 is said to plug most of them. Great!
The beta for Firefox 3 just hit version 4, and it’s sounding like its shaping up to be a great browser. Page zooming, new download manager, and stability?
Yes, please.

Oh man, if only I were very, very rich. To have a full-frame professional SLR, the joy! So it looks like the upcoming 5D Mk II is going to be an interesting camera. Its detail retention at 12800 ISO is supposed to be equal to the previous 5D’s at 3200, which is fantastic and […]
Oh man, if only I were very, very rich. To have a full-frame professional SLR, the joy! So it looks like the upcoming 5D Mk II is going to be an interesting camera. Its detail retention at 12800 ISO is supposed to be equal to the previous 5D’s at 3200, which is fantastic and represents nearly a 2-stop advantage. This means sharper, clearer pictures at higher shutter speeds in lower light — the holy grail of sports and nature photographers.
This is possible because the Mk II is rumored to use a next generation CMOS with “vastly improved” light-gathering ability and signal/noise ratio. It will also have a new version of the Digic III image processor. It’s supposed to be announced on April 22 and be available in early June for ~$3500. Hit the links or the [more] for the full specs.

Audioengine has released a software independent, wireless music streaming solution, called the AW1. The AW1 set contains a receiver module and transmitter; the receiver connects via USB, RCA or line-out and the transmitter connects to your PC via USB. The audio sent is then picked up by the connected audio source, with a reported 100-foot range.
Interestingly, the transmission method is unique to Audioengine, which uses their own AvenraAudio technology. We’re not too sure how that sounds, but it supposed to churn out CD-quality output with no dropouts or static. At $149, it might be worth the investment if the sound reproduction is as good as they claim. [Audio Junkies]

KontrolFreek, the company that made the SpeedFreek add-ons to the Xbox 360 controller that we reviewed last year, has a new accessory coming soon called the FPS Freek. It’s essentially a snap-on to your controller’s thumbsticks, which lengthens them and makes small adjustments in aiming easier. Why is this necessary? IGN Gear states the first 20% of the range of motion is the hardest because of spring resistance, which makes small tweaks to aiming especially difficult.
KontrolFreek also tells us that this product is legal in competition, but there’s no notice released officially yet. If you pre-order, you’ll get a 20% discount on the $9.95 for two and $17.50 for four. We haven’t tested these ourselves, but IGN did take a look at an earlier prototype version and found that it did make the small aiming adjustments (in the first 20% range of motion) easier. We’ll have to frag for ourselves. Their target release date is June 1. [KontrolFreek]
