Web browsers with social integration are getting more popular with each day, and you probably remember the RockMelt browser that offers Facebook and Twitter integration. If you're into social networking, today we have another browser that will let you stay in touch with your friends and followers at all times.

Flock browser has been around for some time, and it has reached version 3.5, and currently, Flock has about 9.5 million active users. Unlike previous versions of Flock that have been based on Chromium 5, Flock 3.5 is based on Chromium 7. As for the Mac version of Flock, the latest version is also based on Chromium, unlike previous version that ran on Gecko. As we mentioned, the main feature of Flock is social integration and you can integrate Flock with several sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You can see your friend's updates on a sidebar, and you can even like their status updates, replay on them or even share your own updates across the multiple sites.

Flock is great if you're social addict that has to stay in touch with other people on various networks, but if you're not, you probably won't even try it.

Latest version of Google Earth was released yesterday, and it has introduced some new features.�First thing that we need to mention is the integration with Google Street View. Now for the first time you can simply drag the Pegman into the streets and you'll be immediately taken to the Street View.

Now you can even "walk" through the streets by using the scroll wheel or keyboard keys. While you're in the Street View you can now easily toggle the 3D view that gives you ground level view with buildings and trees in 3D. There are more than 80 million tress in Google Earth at the moment, and there will be more without a doubt. Another thing that we have to notice is that, streets that support Street View are now outlined in blue, so you can't miss them.

Google Earth 6 has a lot to offer, and if you haven't tried it yet, we suggest that you do so.

Augmented reality (AR) apps have really taken off in the last two years. Hidden Sky is an augmented reality application for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 that allows you to explore the many satellites that orbit the Earth, the planets, and other objects in the sky. While it isn't free and will cost you $4.99, for those of you keen on Astronomy, you can observe orbits, animate across the sky, learn about them, and much more. It looks to be a comprehensive app that should be well worth your money.

As you probably know, Kinect has been hacked and it can do a range of awesome things, and the latest trick up its sleeve is a way to play Super Mario Bros with Kinect.

That's right, now you can play good old Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, and Super Mario Bros 3 with your Kinect. Combination of latest motion sensing technology of Kinect and old Super Mario games sure sounds awesome, but does it work that way?

In order to move Mario, you have to move to the side of the screen and move your legs, and this works pretty well, but it cannot be compared to the good old standard controller. Same goes for jumping and crouching, in order to make Mario jump or crouch you have to do the same, but like we said, it might not work as well as you think.

Sure, this is a refreshing way to play Super Mario Bros games, but we doubt that someone will seriously use Kinect to play old NES classics, its fun but not by any means practical.

We are positive that there will be more robots in the future, but today we have another piece of future that will make you move, so let's have a closer look at it.

Although this robot might not replace your Segway, it's still amazing and innovative. This robot comes from Vagabond Works, and it is created by Dutch sculptor Theo Jansens. Great thing about this robot is that it has 12 mechanical legs that allow you to move smoothly and safely. Unlike Segway, Crawler eXtreme isn't that fast and it can carry 175 pounds without any problems. In order to use this thing, just step on it, grab its control pad, and you're good to go. Although Crawler eXtreme works fine for now, it's rather noisy and we're hoping that its creator will fix that in future revisions.

Anyhow, Crawler eXtreme is great, but don't expect it to see it in stores, or to replace Segway anytime soon.

There are Chinese rumours floating about that the next iPad will be lighter, thinner, to sport two cameras and a three-axis gyroscope for improved gaming performance.

The rumour says the 9.7-inch screen size will stay as it is, and that it will be the same stunning Retina quality display as the current iPhone 4. In addition, a probable front facing camera would be in fitting with requests of so many current iPad users for Facetime.

If the rumour is true, then we might expect an official announcement possibly early next year for first quarter release, put the 'iPad 2' in direct rivalry with the BlackBerry PlayBook. We are still yet to see any actual leaked images or prove, so do take this as a Chinese whisper for now.

We spoke of the two new Acer Android tablets earlier this week. However, when Acer showed off their upcoming tablets in the recent Acer conference, we heard no news that the brand would have 10.1-inch versions of their Acer tablet running on Windows 7. What's more, these are speculated to be powered by AMD's dual-core C-50 Ontario accelerated processing unit.

The AMD chip is said to run on just 9W of power, in addition to packing a built-in Radeon HD 6250 graphics chip. Additionally, DigiTimes is also reporting that Acer's 10.1-inch Android slate rocks Tegra 2 and will competitively support WiFi and 3G. All this makes the tablet market alot more exciting but will a Windows 7 tablet appeal to you more than an Android tablet?

Google Street View is one controversial feature, and many people have been concerned about their privacy because of it. People who are concerned about their privacy can have their homes blurred, but again, that might not be such a good idea.

Since Google is sending vans all over the world as a part of Google Street View project, you can request that your home gets removed, or blurred to be precise, from Google Street View. You can get your house blurred on Google Street View, but you'll get some nice eggs to clean up after you've done that.

Fans of Google Street View in Germany don't like the fact that some people don't want their houses in this project, so they've decided to show their displeasure by throwing eggs at their houses.�Google Street View is a great project, there's no argue about that, but if you choose not to be a part of it, you might have to clean eggs from your walls.

As you know, Valve has created one of the most revolutionary games of all time, and no, we're not talking about Half Life. Portal was one of the best games that came from Valve, and today we have something special for all fans of Portal.

If you have ever played or heard about Portal you should know what Portal Gun is. If you don't know what Portal Gun is, that's okay, because Harrison Krix knows exactly what it is, since he already made two of them. They are just replicas and don't create portals, but they look impressive. Harrison Krix made his first Portal Gun in 2009, but now, he has a new model that is better that the previous one and this new model even produces the same sounds as the original gun from the game.

Portal Gun will be auctioned at Child's Play Charity event on December 7th in Seattle, so if you want to get one, you'll have to bid for it.

As you know, we should see Opera 11 soon enough and in order to tease us a little, developers have released Opera 11 beta with some interesting features, so let's check them out.

Opera 11 beta has been released and it has one interesting feature called tab stacking. Tab stacking sounds like an amazing feature, and in order to use it, you just need to drag the tabs and drop them at the one you wish to stack and that's it. If you want to access of the stacked tabs, hover your mouse over the stack and you'll actually get a preview of your stack. Of course, you can expand or collapse a stack with a single click of a mouse.

Tab stacking in Opera is great, and it seems that tab stacking is a response to a similar feature called Panorama that we saw in Firefox 4.0. Anyhow, if you want to try tab stacking in Opera, get the latest beta from the official website.

If you're using your computer during the night, you probably want to keep the noise level that your keyboard produces to a minimum, especially if you have someone else sleeping in the room. No more will you have to worry about late computer sessions because Silent PC Keyboard Cover is here to help you.

This might be a radical design according to Thanko. It should provide sound proof keyboard usage, but to tell you the truth, we're not that impressed. Silent PC Keyboard Cover is to cover your keyboard and your hands so that you can't produce any unwanted noise. Besides noise reduction, this cover will keep your keyboard clean from dust, and it will keep your hands warm as well. In addition, you can put your mouse in Silent PC Keyboard Cover as well, and thanks to the top window on the cover, you can see your fingers while you're typing.

Silent PC Keyboard Cover might be a good solution to reduce noise, but in our humble opinion, you may just look silly with it.

We see all sorts of robots every day, and robots aren't just a thing of a future, because robots have existed 60 years ago, and it seems that some of those old robots are making a comeback 60 years later.


One of the oldest robots is George, he was handmade in 1950. George is six-foot tall, and it's made from aluminum scraps of a crashed bomber. As for George, he is remotely controlled and created by Tony Sale. George was quite popular in the 50's but the last 45 years George spent its life in a storage shed collecting dust. George might not look impressive, and it definitely cannot do all the things that modern robots do, but it's quite impressive, since George might be one of the first robots that have been created.

As for George, it will be moved to National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England so that other people can see it in person.
