This Joby Gorillatorch Tripod Flashlight Is Your Stop-Putting-The-Flashlight-In-Your-Mouth Deal of the Day [Dealzmodo]

What is it about flashlights that they're never built the way we actually need them built? I mean, how often are we tinkering with something one-handed in the first place? My dad had the cure for that because I became his honorary flashlight holder. I don't have any kids to make stand around holding stuff for me (but believe me, they will some day), so the best I can do is buy an awesome little flashlight like this 54% off Joby Gorillatorch.

Mozilla publishes name and shame list of slow Firefox add-ons, cracks down on tardy devs

Firefox slow-addons list
Mozilla, continuing its year-long crusade to speed up Firefox startup and shutdown times, has published a name and shame list of the Firefox's slowest add-ons.

The list is just one part of Mozilla's new efforts to highlight slow add-ons, and to help developers make their add-ons more efficient. Over the next two weeks, 'slow performance warnings' will be introduced in the add-on gallery so that users can see, before installation, which add-ons will slow down their browser. If that isn't enough to spur developers into cleaning up their add-ons, Mozilla has also begun reaching out to developers of slow add-ons with tips on how to improve add-on performance. Finally, add-on developers will soon have the ability to perform 'on-demand performance testing,' so that they can test their add-on before it's deployed publicly.

Mozilla reports that the average Firefox add-on slows down Firefox's start-up time by 10% -- which means, if you install 10 add-ons, you will double your start-up time. On fast desktop PCs that kind of slowdown might be negligible, but on older computers, laptops and smartphones, it could be the difference between a 5 and 10 second startup. Mozilla has obviously realized that while massive performance gains might've been made with Firefox 4, the addition of third-party add-ons can destroy any user-perceived improvements.

In other news, Mozilla says that a future build of Firefox will block the installation of add-ons (such as toolbars) by third-party software. Add-ons and toolbars that are bundled in this way will require explicit approval when you next open up Firefox. Hooray!

Google Delays Nexus Q Launch in Order to Add New Features

Nexus Q

Google’s Nexus Q won’t go on sale in July as previously promised, but the delay is actually a win for would-be fans of the streaming media device.

The team behind Google’s first independently engineered and manufactured hardware is delaying the public product launch to add new functionality to the device. But there is a silver lining for those who’ve already committed to a life with Nexus Q. While Google isn’t providing any information on exactly when the hardware will launch, and has also stopped accepting pre-orders, those who’ve already pre-ordered a Nexus Q from the Google Play store will still be getting their devices in the next few weeks.

What’s more, instead of paying $300 for a device that’s still in a process of becoming, Google is going to ship Nexus Qs to pre-order customers for free. In essence, Google will be treating all its general-public pre-order customers just like the thousands of developers (and journalists) who received Nexus Q for free at the Google I/O conference. Nice move, Google!

After Nexus Q was revealed at I/O, the hardware itself received much praise, but the general consensus was that the streaming media sphere supports too few services. In its current iteration, it only plays streaming audio tracks from Google Music, and video from Google Play and YouTube. Like our own reviewer, most technology critics gave the Q lackluster marks.

Those who pre-ordered a Nexus Q on Google’s Play storefront were notified of the delay via email on Tuesday. The message, with the subject line of “Status of Your Nexus Q Pre-Order,” reads:

We have an important update about your Nexus Q pre-order.

When we announced Nexus Q at Google I/O, we gave away devices to attendees for an early preview. The industrial design and hardware were met with great enthusiasm. We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.

To thank you for your early interest, we’d like to extend the Nexus Q preview to our pre-order customers and send you a free device. If you had other items in your order, your credit card will be charged for those items only.

Your Nexus Q will be on its way soon and you will receive a notification and tracking number from Google Play when it ships.

The Nexus Q Team

So what features will Google be adding to the Nexus Q? Google declined to comment for now, but told us that the Android team is hard at work adding more functionality.

We, however, have some ideas on what Google should add. Why not load up Nexus Q with a graphical user interface, such as Android or Google TV (which is built on Android), and give the hardware the ability to run Android apps? Right now, the Q’s audio functionality is entirely tied into three Google services, and that’s way too limiting. Hackers have already shown us that the Nexus Q can handle Netflix just fine, but the $100 Apple TV already does Netflix and Hulu Plus. Allowing the Nexus Q to easily run any Android app could push the gadget beyond these lower-priced set-top boxes.

Adding full Android support would also allow us to play back music via Rdio and Spotify, as well as play games such as Angry Birds, Canabalt and Shadowgun.

Another welcome addition would be the ability to stream audio from Nexus Q to wireless speakers via Bluetooth or AirPlay. While the Nexus Q’s wonderful, built-in 25-watt amp paired with a set of $400 speakers is a beautiful sound system for those who can afford it, the orb should be able to stream to a Jambox and other wireless speaker hardware as well.

What would you like to see the Nexus Q do? Sound off in the comments below. Maybe Google’s listening.

My BMW Remote app unlocks car doors, starts the A/C, and more

My BMW Remote app unlocks car doors, starts the A/C, and more

Final Fantasy III on Google PlayBMW just announced that their remote control application for cars has made the leap from iOS to Android. With it, users can unlock their car, find where it's parked, alter the climate control, and launch into local points of interest search. Here's the full feature list. 

 

  • "Remote Door Lock & Unlock" allows the car to be locked and unlocked from a smartphone.
  • "Climate Control” makes it possible to control the interior temperature by adjusting the auxiliary ventilation and heating settings, and programming the systems by timer.
  • With “Horn Blow” for sounding the horn and “Flash Light” for briefly switching on the exterior lights, users can trigger acoustic and visual signals to help them find their vehicle in crowded car parks, for instance.
  • If the car is out of sight and hearing distance but within a radius of up to 1,5 km, the “Vehicle Finder” function is able to display a map on the smartphone screen showing the way to the vehicle’s location. This function is only available when the ignition is switched off, thereby making it impossible to track the vehicle’s movements.
  • Finally, using Google Local Search, users are able to import points of interest (POIs) from their smartphone into the vehicle’s navigation system via the message list.

BMW 7 Series 2010, 6 Series 2011, 5 Series 2010, X3 2010, and 1 Series 2011 should all be compatible with the app. Any BMW owners in the house?

Zoho Docs 2.0 adds iPad support

zoho docs ipad
Zoho has offered an iOS app for a while now -- at least for the iPhone and iPod touch. Those of you who have been wanting to use the Zoho app on your iPad were out of luck, but that's no longer the case.

Zoho Docs 2.0 has landed in the App Store, and the most notable change is that it's now a universal app. Now you're able to take advantage of the app's mobile productivity powers on your larger iOS device. Retina display support has also been added, as have document sharing options -- which you can utilize in both the viewer and collaboration modes.

Just like the basic Zoho service, the app is available totally free of charge. Paid subscriptions get you additional storage space and start at $3 per month for professional use.

JAVOedge New iPad / iPad 2 Paisley Flex Sleeve Case Review

Lately, I’ve gone for a more minimal approach with cases and covers for my iPad.  I even tried using it completely caseless for a while, but I finally went back to the snap-on back cover after I dropped my iPad.  I still haven’t added back the Smart Cover, but I wanted something to protect the screen while the iPad was in my purse.  I stumbled upon the New iPad/iPad 2 Flex Sleeve Case from JAVOedge that looked like exactly what I wanted.  It was a sleeve case with a bonus, because it could fold up into a stand when I wanted one.  JAVOedge was kind enough to send a sample to The Gadgeteer for review. 

Click on any image in this review for an enlargement.

There are several fabric choices for the Flex Sleeve Case.  I asked for and received the Paisley (see link in first paragraph).  Most of the colors will probably appeal more to women than men, but there are a few unisex possibilities.  The other fabrics are: gray tweedy Austin, Strawberry Jeans, Bandana, Wine Glass, Fish, and Flora.

The Flex Sleeve Case measures 10″ long X 7.85″ wide X 0.25″ thick at the flap; it weighs 3 ounces on my digital kitchen scale.  The exterior fabric appears to be a lightweight canvas-type fabric.  Stitching is done with a matching thread and is even and straight.  There seems to be a light interfacing between the interior and exterior fabric layers, but it doesn’t seem to have any padding.The front is plain, except for the flap closure.  The only branding is the black leather tag embossed with the JAVOedge name sewn into the center of the flap.  The flap is held closed by a magnet – there are no Velcro nor snap closures.

If you click for the enlarged version of the above photo, you can see stitching patterns on the back of the case.  Pieces of cardboard or plastic for stiffening are within these stitched areas.  The areas between the cardboard pieces feel just like the fabric on the front of the sleeve.  If you feel the surface of the stiffened areas, you can feel magnets buried into the cardboard in a few places.  These magnets will allow the Flex Sleeve Case to be folded into a stand.

The interior of the case has a light gray suede-like fabric.  You can see my new iPad with the snap-on back cover fits handily inside.  I can also fit the iPad with the Smart Cover on, but I can’t fit the new iPad wearing both the back cover and the Smart Cover.

Here’s the Flex Sleeve Case folded into a stand.  The tab seen at the front is sewn in the middle so it can be lifted up on the free sides.  This tab serves as a “stop” to keep the iPad from sliding off the front of the stand.

Here’s a side view, where you can see another view of the tab.  (Anyone else old enough to remember The Flying Nun TV show?  The folded shape reminds me of her headpiece.)

Here’s the iPad in the horizontal orientation.  I can reach all the buttons and connectors when I have the iPad in with the Home button on my right.  You can see the tab in position to hold the iPad in place.

I find this orientation is very stable, even when I pushed on the iPad much harder than required to operate the touchscreen.  You can’t adjust the viewing angle, but I found it comfortable to use.

Here’s the vertical orientation.  This is again steady and stable.  Of course, with the Home button down, you can’t use the 30-pin connector.  It seemed to me that the sound from the speaker that was resting on the cardboard stiffener sounded just a bit better, perhaps because the cardboard reflected some of the sound back to me.

I’ve been using the JAVOedge Flex Sleeve Case on my iPad since the day I received it a few weeks ago.  The only problem I experienced was that laying the iPad down on the Sleeve caused the iPad to switch off even though I hadn’t hit the power/sleep button.  I finally realized that I had left the Smart Cover sleep/wake function enabled, and the Sleeve’s magnets were turning it off.  I turned off that function since I wasn’t using the Smart Cover at the time, and I’ve had no problems since.

The case fits in my purse handily and keeps my iPad protected while I’m toting it around with me.  I have used the case’s stand function to hold the iPad on the bed beside me as I read.  I even lay the empty Sleeve on my chest as I prop the iPad there, and the cardboard inside the Sleeve spreads the weight of the iPad out so that the narrow edge of the iPad doesn’t press painful grooves into my skin.

I really like the JAVOedge Flex Sleeve Case with my iPad, and I can’t imagine anything I’d change about it.
