Dear Firefox: You're Becoming a Bad Boyfriend
For years, Firefox has been one of the most stable, trustworthy, and reliable browsers I had ever met. So much so, that I've kind of gotten attached to the guy and settled in for what was expected to be a productive, long-term relationship. That was, until the latest update hit.
PS3 Firmware Update 2.60 Available Today!
Have you been downloading your PS3 updates? Just like computers, your gaming console needs updates to remain healthy and fresh, and this new Playstation 3 firmware update brings some pretty cool upgrades to your console's photo galleries. Update 2.60 lets you browse through your photos by color, date, facial expression, age, number of people in your snapshot, as well as what camera the photos were taken on.
Have You Updated to 2.1 Yet?
One of the announcements at the Let's Rock presentation last week was the iPhone 2.1 update. Steve Jobs boasted that this update will improve your reception, cut down on dropped calls, and exterminate system bugs.
After spending about 30 minutes updating my firmware, I can tell you that it's a vast improvement!
Do You Always Get Your Firmware and Software Updates?
Sometimes if I'm out of time, I'll get that pop-up to update an application and ignore it for a while if I'm otherwise busy. But sometimes I'm so excited for an update, like the iPhone's 2.0 update, that I'll go to great lengths to download it. In that case, I was so eager for the App Store that I manually applied it to my phone, rather than waiting for the official go-ahead, which would have been infinitely easier (and was a semi-waste since I bought the new iPhone the next day, but it was still worth it!).
Macworld 2008: The iPhone Firmware Update Exposed
I couldn't be more stoked about the MacBook Air, Time Capsule, and the new capabilities of Apple TV, but what I was unreasonably excited about was the firmware update to the iPhone. It puts a stake through the heart of iPhone critics who have been waiting for "the next version of the iPhone" — this is it! Though it was arguably the smallest reveal of yesterday's keynote (and confirmed those prior firmware update rumors) , it was both something for my beloved iPhone and the first thing I could get my hands on.

Meet the Qooq, a Computer For the Kitchen
I would love to have a dedicated computer to use in the kitchen. Usually if I'm testing a new recipe from one of my favorite food blogs or websites I sit my laptop on the counter and toss a towel over the keyboard to keep it safe from spills or other kitchen mishaps. A French company decided to capitalize on the kitchen computer idea and just introduced the Qooq (warning: the site is in French), a new type of computer specifically designed to use in the kitchen.
Lots More Apple Tablet News, but Do You Care?
The mystery surrounding the Apple Tablet is hitting a fever pitch, and this time word is that Apple is shopping the yet-to-be-seen Tablet to Australian developers to gauge interest. In other news, you can now buy SIM card trays for a so-called iTablet online, but then again, a New York Times editor supposedly "spilled the beans" by calling it the Apple Slate in a recent speech. My head is spinning already!

If you can't get enough social networking action (what, with your Twitter updates and Facebooking), add this service to your daily update list: DailyBooth.
DailyBooth is kinda like Twitter, where you post what you're doing and personal updates, but with the extra added feature of adding a photo to every post. Just activate your computer's on-board camera (or external camera) and snap away every day to show off your new haircut, or that shiner you got while playing volleyball with your pals.
