Scosche is demonstrating a rotating car mount for the iPad which replaces the double din factory deck.

In the YouTube video below, Doug Broadhurst and Ted Lopez show the new iKit installed in a Subaru STi.

Gizmodo heard from the company who says there will be a single-DIN install option and that they do have an amplifier in the kits that replaces the car stereo. Expect the kit soon for around $200 to $250 depending on your car and options.

Victorinox is a brand you may have heard your dad or grandfather speak of, and if you’re someone who associates closely with the outdoors, you may actually own one of their products. If we said “Swiss Army knife,” you’d know immediately what we were talking about, and sure enough Victorinox is the parent company that makes those knives.

In an effort to bring their latest knife into the current century in terms of relevance, they held an event in their European flagship store on London’s New Bond Street. The reason was to unveil something with a bit of old school flair and a bit of new school utility. The device shown here is an “un-hackable Secure Pro USB drive,” and it’s encased within a Swiss Army knife. In other words, this really can be your jack of all trades, as it can open that tough plastic container and store secret files.

When I upgraded to 3.6 on Snow Leopard, all I get is a perpetual crash. I have 2 extensions loaded and it won’t even start.

Copy past from another blog:

Firefox 3.6 woes on OS X
tammikuu 22, 2010 — huima
Firefox 3.6 is here and oh great, it is great! Except that most of the extensions crash my Firefox, so I am unable to do almost anything extra I used to in the older version.

I’ve tested now numerous times and for example Delicious bookmarks crashes Firefox, when I install it and Firefox tries to restart itself. Crash report gets only a number sequence like “1264176171″ nothing more. After I start Firefox in safe mode and disable the plugin, everything works again.

New version of Firefox seems to much faster and better citizen on my mac, so I hope these problems get fixed either in the plugin or in the firefox soon. Until that I’ll have to use two versions of Firefox on my machine.

App Store profits extremely difficult, developers say: “Despite initial impressions given by Apple and the media, success stories at the App Store are actually rare, a new report suggests. Apple has enjoyed pointing to Trism developer Steve Demeter as an example of App Store profits, as well as a new egalitarian footing for independent developers. Demeter managed to accumulate $250,000 in two months through his iPhone app; while some observers believed he would be able to retire on future iPhone profits, Demeter now admits that he is only living a wealthy lifestyle because he invested in Palm…

TippingPoint | DVLabs | Pwn2Own Wrap Up:

“We are all wrapped up from this years CanSecWest and pwn2own contest, and again it was a great conference, and a successful competition. The contest uncovered 4 new and unique critical vulnerabilities affecting the latest and greatest versions of IE, Safari and FireFox. The Chrome browser gets a small nod for being impacted by one of the flaws, although exploit is not possible using any current known techniques. I’m sure they’ll get it fixed up just the same.”
