Firefox 2 Gets Some More Theme Updates

Mozilla continues to try and please the public by releasing even more updates to the default theme that will ship in Firefox 2. They have changed the Refresh button so that it looks more sleek than the previous one and how about that Home icon?

Windows Vista RC1 is still doing great for me on each machine that I have it installed on. The first machine that I put it on was my desktop computer that was running Vista Pre-RC1 and I decided to perform an upgrade instead of a fresh install. After the 3-hour upgrade had finished I was able to use Vista RC1 completely. I noticed no issues and was pleasantly surprised.

Google Safe Browsing Protects Your From 4,195 Sites

Google has been offering the Safe Browsing Firefox extension for quite some time now and it is something that I install with every Firefox installation that I do. It is nice that the extension will no longer be needed in Firefox 2 because the Safe Browsing feature is going to be built-in.

The Xbox 360 Laptop

Ben Heckendorn is at it again but this time he is hacking away an Xbox 360. He loves to make things portable and despite the Xbox 360's size and weight he went ahead to see what he could do. The result? A pretty sweet 14-lbs. laptop.

CyberNotes: No Not Red, But A Blue Laser Pointer!

I'm sure you've tinkered with a red laser pointer before. You can find them in abundance just about anywhere, and nowadays they're simply cheap! I found one for just $10.00. Have you ever seen a blue laser pointer though? Probably not, and that's because the bright blue LED laser pointer is fairly new and rather unusual.
