Engadget
Nilay Patel shares details about LG’s new LCD TV panel product, which will be announced in more detail during next year’s CES event.
“We’re gearing up for CES 2010, which means the race to show off an even thinner ‘worlds thinnest’ LCD TV panel is heating up – and it looks like LG’s taking an early lead by announcing a new 42-inch 1080p panel that’s just 2.6mm (.1 inch) thin. The prototype LED-backlit 120Hz display weighs just under 8.8 pounds , but we don’t have any other specs on it just yet – but we’re sure we’ll find out far more 17 days from now in Vegas.”
Firefox 3.6 Nearly Complete, Fifth Beta Available Now
Webmonkey
Scott Gilbertson writes that Mozilla has just released its fifth beta versio of its next browser, Firefox.
“Firefox 3.6 has seen more than 100 bugfixes since beta 4, including improvements in Firefox’s performance, stability, and security. If you’d like to take beta 5 for a spin, head over to the Mozilla downloads page or just wait for your current Firefox 3.6 beta to automatically update. Five betas is an unusually high number for a Firefox release, but the latest package clears most of the remaining blocking bugs. This means the final release of Firefox 3.6 is likely just around the corner.”
