M-Audio Firewire Solo. M-Audio has announced the FireWire Solo, a simple bus-powered way for home recording folks to get tracks into their computers with a minimum of fuss (and EM noise). The Solo has two inputs, one with a 1/4-inch guitar input and the other a standard XLR microphone interface with phantom power. All in all, it looks like a nice setup for singer/songwriter types who need a nice, clean interface for pro equipment (although I can't help but think there might be a cheaper option for less than $250).

The final 1.0 build of Firefox is now freely available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Today also marks the beginning of many marketing efforts on the part of the Spread Firefox community, including the full page ad in the New York Times they raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for. And now that there is a stable, final, 1.0 build of the little browser that could, its adoption should continue to even greater heights. And isn't this interesting, after all the chatter about Google adopting Firefox and re-branding a build of it for themselves. This "Firefox Start" page is the default home page for Firefox now when you install 1.0 final, even if you've set your preferences for something else in an earlier build.

SkinIt sells reasonably priced crazy-ass vinyl "skins" for your MP3 player, PDA, phone, handheld game, whatever (even your TiVo remote!). They've got a zillion patterns and they'll even pay you royalties on yours if you submit it and they sell it. Just ordered one for my iPod. [Boing Boing] 10:36:31 AM   comments[]
