Camino, the open-source Cocoa-based web browser, has released version 1.5 after a year of work. New features include an upgrade to the Gecko 1.8.1 rendering engine, implementation of OS X spellcheck for form fields, session saving, an improved pop-up blocker, auto RSS feed detection and improved tab preferences.
The main goal of the Camino browser is to combine useful services available only to OS X users, such as Address Book, Keychain, and Bonjour, with the Gecko rendering engine. Camino 1.5 requires OS X 10.3 to run.

Richard Silver, purported creator of the Electric Slide, has backed down from his earlier assertion that under the DMCA videos of the dance he supposedly created cannot be shown on YouTube without his explicit permission. In the face of an EFF lawsuit, Mr. Silver agreed in the settlement to release the rights to the dance under the Creative Commons License. Put on your dance shoes and fire up your video cameras!

The New York Times is reporting that Amazon.com will get into the music download business, offering DRM-free songs from EMI and 12,000 smaller, independent labels. From the article: "Amazon, the Internet's most successful seller of physical CDs, today announced plans to introduce a music download store later this year, selling songs and albums in the MP3 format without the anti-copying protection used by most online music retailers." No word yet on pricing or whether the Beatles' catalog will be available.

CNET has run an article comparing the picture quality of different cameras ranging from a 2-megapixel camera phone to a 10-megapixel dSLR. It seems like there are many variables that affect picture quality outside of just how many megapixels a camera has. So what is the best camera available to buy right now?

Looking to put to rest one of the most bizarre vulnerability disclosure disputes in recent memory, hacker David Maynor offered an apology for mistakes made, provided a live demo of the controversial MacBook Wi-Fi takeover and promised to release e-mail exchanges, crash/panic logs and exploit code to clear his tarnished name.

I'm planning to spend a year backpacking around the world and the hardest question I have to answer is: What technology do I take with me? Aside from the obvious (digital camera, ipod, et. al.) what technological devices would you you take? Specifically, I wonder if I should bring my nice and shiny MacBook Pro. I can think of lots of uses for it (offloading pix, updating blog, email, etc.), but I'm worried it will be lost or stolen along the way. Does anyone have experience with travel while toting technology?

"If you registered your domain at Registerfly.com, then you should know it may be locked, and you are at the moment unable to access it through Registerfly's website (video). You may even be unable to renew your domain because it has expired into a status known as 'redemption' through no fault of your own. By all accounts there are just under 2 million domains at risk here. Enom dumped them as a reseller; their SSL cert has expired; it's a mess. Fortunately the principals in this are trying to restore order. The external website registerflies.com, originally crafted as a gripe-zone and forum for Registerfly users, has gotten inside the ranks of the post-shakup Registerfly management, made some friends and connections, and is creating a back-door problem-reporting form that goes directly to those who can correct a domain problem. The official Registerfly support ticketing system remains clogged with thousands of unanswered complaints."

For some crazy reason, Microsoft makes you firstly buy the 32-bit version of Vista, then order a CD of the equivalent 64-bit version online. The issue has started to grate on some users. "Imagine going into a shop and buying a music CD only to get it home and open it up and find a bit of paper inside telling you to go online to pay to have the actual CD mailed out to you at an additional cost," wrote one.
