Firefox 3.5, due to be released in a final version before the end of June, was meant to be Firefox 3.1. Then Mozilla, the company behind it, became more ambitious, and so the release date was put back.

However, the company insists it will be worth the wait, since it will offer a total of 5,000 new features, including built-in video, geolocation, faster loading of pages, and much more.

"We’ve added technology we think upgrades the web itself," Firefox director Mike Beltzner told CNET.

However, Mozilla is already looking ahead, with plans for Namoroka, the successor to Firefox 3.5 already quite advanced. There will also be a 64-bit version of Firefox for Mac OS X.

Mozilla estimates there are around 300 million Firefox users worldwide, and NetApplications credits Firefox with a 22.5% browser market share.

Intel Wildcat Lake chips cost a pretty penny, but tests show they can’t touch the MacBook Neo

Intel's fanless chips are here, but the price tag might make you cry.

Intel's Wildcat Lake is the company's attempt to go toe-to-toe with the Apple MacBook Neo. The chips are tiny, featuring two performance cores, four efficiency cores, and a mini integrated GPU, and they're efficient enough to run completely without a fan.

That's a genuinely exciting proposition for a Widows user who wants a slim, quiet laptop, but doesn’t want to switch to a new operating system. But it’s not all moonlight and roses, as the new chipsets come with a big catch.
