Take a peek at Firefox 3's new download manager (Download Squad)

Aug 13th 2007 10:17AM Ok, Here's my wish list...
#1 A tab not an annoying popup (same with themes/addons)

#2 status of overall download progress (eg generalises over many downloads) - in status bar

#3 BitTorrent support (go on)

#4 search box that shrinks downloaded list as you type (like itunes)

U.K. uses license plate scanners to crack down on illegal drivers (Engadget)

Jun 22nd 2006 8:06AM They know what tube and bus stations I use and what time I go through them. They know when and where and at what time I drive in and out of London. with the new passports they'll have my biometrics on record. They know when I walk down most of the major streets in London and they know when I'm driving to fast. But do I feel safe from gangs of knife wielding youths er No. I may be mugged maybe even stabbed on my walk home in broad daylight but all this surveilence won't make it safe for me and many like me, but it'll fine me when I don't pay a bill on time, tax payers money well spent I say. Even if I am found bleeding on the pavement and get to a hospital I'm likely to get MRSA from an unclean under staffed hospital that will be in the midst of reducing staff numbers further.

JVC's Everio GZ-MG47 20GB camcorder announced, MG505 gets official (Engadget)

May 9th 2006 9:20AM Not really been following camcorders, many years ago when I bought my 4G Ipod, I thought hmm wouldn't it be great if they put HD's in camcorders and I've been waiting ever since... Now all I want is GPS built in every camera and phone. Wonder how much

Boot Camp: the day after (Engadget)

Apr 15th 2006 8:46AM I'd imagine they will Sell macs with Bootcamp and Windows but at extra cost. You want Windows that'll be $150 extra (or however much Windows is) OSX will obviously be preinstalled. This will draw attention to how much Windows actually costs, but does give people the option of having the dual-boot preinstalled. Ultimately business will buy Macs instead of Dells. It'd be cool if all new Macs came with OSX preinstalled, a Linux distro thrown in (not sure which one SUSE, RedHat, Ubuntu) and if you wanted Windows that'll be extra.
