Posted on June 11, 2010 | No CommentsWow, who would have guessed that visiting adult Web sites would be dangerous to the health of your computer? I mean, of all of the genres of sites out there—sports, tech, politics, books, etc.—the last I would have predicted to be dangerous was adult ones. Thanks, International Secure System Lab

Want Safari Reader functionality in Firefox or Google Chrome? Try Readability (it’s quite good).
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsAside from the usual under-the-hood improvements, Safari 5 ships with a new feature called Safari Reader. The concept is simple enough: you're reading text on a Web site but don't want to be distracted by terrible page layouts and extraordinarily annoying animated advertisements. You activate Reader, then the browser isolates the text and applies a far more readable formatting to the text. The result is much cleaner text, and text that doesn't destroy your eyes trying to read. The best part is that you don't need the new Safari to replicate the same functionality. I speak, of course, about Readablity.

The SayCool tablet mates a 7-inch multitouch display to Windows XP
Posted on March 18, 2010 | No Comments
There is a steady stream of tablet PCs flowing out of China recently. Most of them are just the same ol' thing, but this SayCool tablet stood out from the rest with a 7-inch capacitive screen that's apparently multitouch capable. Now, the tablet runs Windows XP, which isn't nearly as touch friendly as Win7, but it certainly can be done with the right cocktail of software and hardware.

Notice the Windows alternative in HP’s slate device. This is a good thing.
Posted on March 8, 2010 | No Comments
We have written repeatedly that Windows itself is one of the main reasons why touchscreen computers have never caught the general public's attention. The interface just wasn't designed for finger input. Like it or not, that's the truth. Windows was designed to be used with a mouse, and to a lesser extent, a pen or stylus.
That's fine. Windows 7 works great. I'm writing this on a Win7 machine. But I hate Windows on my tablet computers for the aforementioned reason. It's also the reason I'm very apprehensive of the upcoming onslaught of slate computers. I'm afraid that wonderful hardware will be passed up in favor of the disappointing iPad because of the interface. But Adobe gave me hope today in its demo of Flash and Air on the HP slate device.

Firefox Mobile for Android launching “late this year”
Posted on February 17, 2010 | No CommentsAre you an Android user? Are you jealous of all nine people who have Nokia N900s and thus can already use Firefox Mobile? Good news! While we’ve known for some time that Firefox Mobile (otherwise known by its code name, “Fennex”) was coming to Android, but we didn’t have the slightest idea when. The guys over [...] -
Maybe Hulu is right to block Boxee?
Posted on February 6, 2010 | No CommentsIf I may, I'd like to play devil's advocate to something I wrote a few days ago. To quickly summarize, Boxee took issue with NBCU's Jeff Zucker's characterization that Boxee was some sort of rogue piece of software, and that Hulu is in the right whenever it blocks access to the XBMC-derived media player. How about this: maybe Hulu is right to block Boxee? Let's see where this takes us.

Boxee responds to NBC’s Jeff Zucker’s misleading statements to Congress re: Hulu-Boxee relationship
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No CommentsThe world's worst manager, Jeff Zucker, who just so happens to be the president of NBC Universal, was on Capitol Hill today trying to persuade lawmakers to allow the proposed merger with Comcast go through. Interesting to note his take on Boxee's relationship with Hulu, which, you'll recall, has been something of a mess. Boxee adds Hulu compatibility, Hulu breaks said compatability, Boxee re-works its code so that Hulu works again, Hulu breaks compatability again, etc. And on and on and on.

Firefox Mobile gets one step closer to release
Posted on January 9, 2010 | No Comments![Screen shot 2010-01-09 at [ January 9 ] 12.34.16 PM](http://www.mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-09-at-January-9-12.34.16-PM-630x376.png)
It's still not ready for its "official" launch, but Firefox Mobile just took one big ol' step closer to the big day with the launch of Release Candidate 2. As with the past few releases, this one's only available for Maemo devices -- namely, the N900. Don't got Nokia's latest greatest tablet? Don't sweat it - you can still play with it by way of emulation.
So what's new? Find out after the jump.

Is Sony trying to get Firefox ported to the PS3?
Posted on November 19, 2009 | No CommentsSo this is reasonably exciting. Some super secret source told PlayStation Insider that Sony has talked to Mozilla about porting Firefox to the PS3. Note the wording of that sentence: talks about porting Firefox. Needless to say, if this is even true, then we're at a very early stage of development.
