Fennec's Official Mascot
Not to be confused with the Portable version of Firefox, Fennec is a Mozilla’s latest mobile web browser which was released as Alpha for the Maemo platform used on the Nokia Internet Table N810. Later releases will include more platforms but the current release already shows many promising features borrowed from its heavy weight desktop version, Firefox, such as add-ons, the Awesome bar, and pop up blockers. So if you happen to have one of the supported devices, grab the download now from their official site here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Releases

Cameroid is the PhotoBooth equivalent for the web. All you need is a webcam hooked to your computer and a Flash supported browser (works on either Win/Mac as long as your camera is recognized by Adobe Flash). Just choose a design, distortion or an effect and hit the snap button and you have the option to save it as a Jpg image or publish it to their public gallery that you can view from the home page.

The cat’s out of the bag. Apple has unveiled the latest line of MacBook and MacBook Pros. So let’s see, the new MBs/MBP sare indeed using the new “brick” manufacturing process, MBs are now all aluminium based designs, sadly the rumors of a sub $800 model didn’t materialized but good news is that the MBs has their graphics upped using the Nvidia chipset which is sure to boost its graphics capability by miles and no Blu-ray drives on either models.
The new designs has all the ports relocated to the left side as evidenced in the earlier spyshots, the screen is now surrounded by a black bezel similar to the iMac lineups and the new glass touch pad makes without the button completely.
Here’s a run down of the new models:

If you like watching the Dock’s Genie effects, here’s how to make them animate in slow motion.
1. First make sure you’ve turned on your Genie effect for minimizing Windows.
Enable the Genie effect
2. Now hold the Shift key while minimizing or maximizing a Window and you can see its Genie effects being animated in slow motion.

3. This trick also applies to the Scale effect but of course it isn’t as cool as the Genie one
