'The Shack' downsizes, opens Bullseye Mobile kiosks in many Target stores

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:34:00 -0500

| Engadget - www.engadget.com

Radio Shack is at it again, expanding your perceptions of the place that once actually sold radio components. A year after that ill-received 'The Shack' marketing campaign the company is now making a rather more substantial move, securing an arrangement with Target stores to see the creation of so-called Bullseye Mobile kiosks. This has started with a 100-store pilot program but, throughout this year and into summer next, the expectation is to prop them up in 1,750 big box locations. Something tells us they won't all be wired up for WiMAX, but we can hope.

Firefox 4 Beta 2 Hits the Streets

| [H]ardOCP News/Article Feed

This definitely lives up to its Beta status, the new update is worth the download, but testing proves it's not ready for the prime time quite yet. A few more laps around the track Firefox, but well worth watching. The really important changes will be coming under the hood, and they're at most three-quarters baked at this point. HTML5 and WebM -- which aren't more than partially implemented -- have enormous potential to get us all weaned off Flash. Lazy frame construction should make page rendering faster, although Firefox has a long way to go to catch up with Chrome.One thing's for sure: Even if you love Chrome or Opera (or even Internet Explorer!), Firefox 4 struts some new stuff that's well worth absorbing.
