This is my 150th post, even though it seems like i just finished writing my 100th post yesterday. Remember the one with Megan Fox? I've also recently got my 1000th view, which got me excited. Even though at least half of my views are from my friends, it's still an accomplishment. Anyways, let's kick it off with some more Miro.
Mozilla has released a pre-alpha version of their "Fennec" browser to HTC Touch Pro phones and to almost every Windows Mobile phone. It may be running slow and it may be buggy, but that's because it is a pre-alpha version. The Mozilla team has mentioned that they've pulled a lot of its features, including: plug-ins, soft keyboard input, and program or add-on updating. It's free, so if you want to take a risk and try Fennec out, then go right ahead.
Nathan Smith, a Los Angeles musician, has, supposedly, found treasure from the wreckage of the Spanish barquentine on Google Earth. He approached a couple of experts and they told him that this treasure could be worth up to $3 billion USD. But, get this. It may be on someone else's property. This case is actually headed to court, to see who gets the first cracks at this 'treasure'. No one knows for sure if there is treasure because, as of right now, no one has taken the time to dig it up. The court will settle who gets "first dibs" on the treasure.
In October, the Apple MacBook Pro's got the 45nm Penryn processors as an upgrade. Another source is saying that the new MacBook Pro's will have the Core i7 32nm processors in Q4 of this year. The 32nm processor is said to have a 22% performance increase boost over the current 45nm models. The Core i7 processors are part of Intel's Nehalem family.
If you're going to take a flight soon, take the Southwest Airlines. If you're lucky enough, you will get the plane equipped with free Wi-Fi. It will only be free for a while, since it is in beta. The guy in the picture looks like he's using his laptop in an uncomfortable manner. Personally, i don't do that. He should have just pulled the tray out, but i guess he's unique.

I have no clue why you'd need Core i7's on the MacBooks, but if Apple wants to do it then can. Since their fanbase just loves buying their MacBook Wheels and such.
