Uber Small Radar Speed Gun by PocketRadar

PocketRadarFor athletes, knowing the speed of things is important for training purposes. PocketRadar has altered the way you can do this by producing a speed gun that is incomprehensibly small; small enough to fit very comfortably in the palm of your hand.

According to the manufacturer, existing radar technology was be adapted to make it small enough, and the PocketRadar uses a Doppler radar signal sensing and antenna components to give it the most accurate speed reading possible – the manufacturers claim this to  be accurate within 1 mph (mile per hour).

PocketRadar’s target audience include sports and motorsports fans, although we’re not sure if the novelty wouldn’t wear off after a few uses.

Latest version of Firefox, 3.6, is faster, has new theme feature, Personas

mozilla firefox 3.6Mozilla has released the latest version of Firefox, 3.6, and it claims a 20% speed improvement over v3.5. I just installed and startup certainly seems a lot faster. I’ve also noticed an improvement in memory usage.

New features include improved security features like anti-phishing and anti-malware detection and warning, improved JavaScript performance, support for new CSS features like gradients.

But the feature that I particularly like is a new type of theme called Personas which you can preview and install without a restart of the browser. Just visit GetPersonas.com, browse the over 30,000 themes, then simply roll your mouse over a swatch to see your browser immediately take on that theme.

If you don’t already have Firefox, you can download it for PC, Mac or Linux from www.firefox.com.
