iPad 2 Stylus Reviews

The iPad presently only provides blunt-tipped iPad styluses, much like the tip of a Sharpie marker. The screen is a multi touch capacitative technology making it majorly responsive to human contact or touch and also proves to be less sensitive to fine-tipped styluses. Companies are selling thick-tipped styluses that provide basic pen-like features for drawing [...]

CyHi The Prynce Is Kanye West's 'Ally'

'I can't really speak on Consequence, 'cause I don't know the agreements they had,' CyHi tells 'RapFix Live.'
By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway

There has been a bit of dissention in Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music camp, but CyHi The Prynce won't involve himself in any of it. Instead, the self-proclaimed self-reliant Atlanta MC chooses to work on building his career up as much as he can, himself.

In May, former G.O.O.D. rapper Consequence sat on the "RapFix Live" couch to air some grievances with his onetime friend Kanye West. At the root of Cons' issue seemed to be his omissions from an XXL magazine photo shoot and BET taping, as well as the delay in the release of his sophomore album, Cons TV. When Sway asked Cons if his angst spread to any of the other artists on G.O.O.D.. he coyly said, "Wait till M.O.D. 3," plugging his still-unreleased mixtape Movies on Demand 3.

"I can't really speak on Consequence, 'cause I don't know the agreements they had," CyHi said on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "They had their relationship before I came along, so I don't have no problem with him. That's my guy."

While Cy distanced himself from the rift between 'Ye and Cons, he did speak on his own situation, letting it be known that he does not feel as if Kanye owes him anything beyond what he has already given.

"I say 'Ye don't have to do nothing else for me. He didn't even have to put me on the album; he could've just said, 'Yo he's dope,' like he did on his blog, and I was gonna run with that," CyHi said before revealing the surprising circumstances in which he got signed at a 2010 magazine cover shoot. "I didn't know he was gonna sign me. I got surprised with the signing at the XXL shoot. I was just rappin'."

Every relationship has the potential to sour, and the Prynce, who is just beginning work on his debut album, The Hard Way Musical, is grateful for Kanye's assist but says he isn't reliant on it. "God forbid anything happen to [Kanye] and he's not going to be able to do that no more, then where are we gonna go after that?" he questioned. "So I try to build my own foundation and let him know I'm not just an artist of his; I'm an ally."

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!

Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive hands on: surprisingly cool, but still US-only

Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive
When Amazon Appstore for Android launched last week, one of its primary features -- Test Drive -- was disabled just a few minutes after it opened. With no try-before-you-buy, no refund process, and 1-Click purchasing ready to strike at any moment, this caused some problems. Anyway, don't despair: Test Drive is now enabled.

Before you get your hopes up, Test Drive doesn't work with every app. The IMDb app works fine -- you can even watch movie trailers on it! -- but the Angry Birds games are sadly not enabled. Some games work surprisingly well, though, like Bubble Buster. There's very little latency, and the framerate is really rather good. The Test Drive experience is so true to life that you even get ads; how cool is that?

First Firefox 6 build next week, Firefox 7 by May, and aurora channel introduced

Firefox 5, 6, 7 and release channels
Mozilla's Engineering Project Manager, Christian Legnitto, has detailed the release schedule for Firefox 5, 6 and 7. If all goes to plan, Firefox 6.0a1 will be released next week, April 12, and Firefox 7.0a1 in the middle of May. The final build of Firefox 5 should be released on June 21, exactly three months after the release of Firefox 4.

Along with the faster 6-week release cadence, Firefox's new Chrome-like release channels have also been given names and anticipated update frequencies. The most notable change is the introduction of a new alpha channel -- which is analogous to Chrome Canary -- that will be called 'aurora' and will update nightly. Aurora will be where fixes and features are tested, and either approved for Beta, or backed out to Central. Aurora will have a new icon, too.

The Nightly (mozilla-central) channel will remain unchanged in name and frequency, but it will gain a new 'nightly icon.' The Beta (mozilla-beta) channel will remain as-is, with new builds rolling out weekly. The Release (mozilla-release) channel will also remain as-is, with security and stability updates coming every 6 to 12 weeks.

It should be noted that the names (including 'aurora') are not necessarily final, but it's unlikely that they'll change. We're also awaiting the arrival of the new 'channel switching' technology, which should arrive in the next few days -- in time for the release of Firefox 6 aurora!
