Unlike another automaker out there, Fisker Automotive's eco-friendly vehicle looks a whole lot like the concept, and while the Tesla Roadster is certainly a sexy beast, we're having an exceptionally difficult time taming our fondness for this ride. The $80,000 $87,000 plug-in hybrid has been officially revealed ahead of its "debut" at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, but sadly, it seems that the '09 ship date has already slipped to "late 2010." We can't say looking at the gorgeous pictures make that fact any less depressing, but they're all there in the read link if you care to indulge.

Recently found a program called ghostreader that I can use to make my own audiobooks. Excellent program IMAO. I've listened to more books in the last 2 months than I've read in the last two years!

You can order it with a choice of American English, British English, Czech, Finnish, ... I'm looking for Hungarian language support, but I can't find it anywhere on the net. I can speak it at a intermediate level, I just can't read or write in the language.

This may be a long shot, but does anybody know if there is a hungarian language plug-in that I can use with speech and/or ghostreader?

I thought of emailing Apple but I figure they probable won't get around to answering my email due to the volume they receive.

thanx,
Anna

The Pirates of the Amazon Firefox extension, launched this week, provides a link to free downloads (at The Pirate Bay) of content that's available for sale on Amazon.com.

Another download, The Kraken, does, well, the opposite.

"When the [Pirates of the Amazon] add-on is installed, it integrates a new 'download 4 free' button into the Amazon product page when the same article is also available via The Pirate Bay," explains Ernesto at TorrentFreak. "It works for CDs, DVDs, games, books and basically all products that can be converted to a digital format."

But soon after the Pirates of the Amazon site was launched, it went down. "It's apparently hit some choppy waters," writes TechFlash's Eric Engleman. "The 'Pirates of the Amazon' site is down this morning, with the message: 'The ship was hit. We're offline.'"

According to the creators, the site received an immediate legal challenge from Amazon. "'Pirates of the Amazon' was an artistic parody, part of our media research and education at the Media Design M.A. course at the Piet Zwart Institute of the Willem de Kooning Academy Hogeschool Rotterdam, the Netherlands," the site now states. "It was a practical experiment on interface design, information access and currently debated issues in media culture."

At the same time, The Kraken, launched today, inserts Amazon.com purchase links into The Pirate Bay and Mininova. As the download site suggests, "For those with an attack of conscience (or simply impatience), here's a plug-in to help you sleep at night..."

ink writes Sun released JavaFX 1.0 today, in a bid to take on Adobes Flash and Microsofts Silverlight technologies. It is Suns first Java release to include standardized, cross-platform audio and video playback code (in the form of On2 licensed codecs). The lack of a Linux or Solaris release is a notable absence. The development kit currently consists of the base run-time, a NetBeans/Eclipse plug-in and a set of artifact exporters for Adobe CS 3amp;4. An anonymous reader adds a link to several tutorials accompanying the new release.pa href=http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/2226228amp;from=rssimg src=http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/12/04/2226228 //a/ppa href=http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/2226228amp;from=rssRead more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href=http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/O1F_IybH7GyeHp2AFZ9fu2esEHM/aimg src=http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/O1F_IybH7GyeHp2AFZ9fu2esEHM/i border=0 ismap=true //a/pimg src=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/DLj929HZigc height=1 width=1 /

Not to be left out, iLuv's also brought out another internet radio / alarm combo and it looks exactly like you'd think it would. Only cooler. The iNT170's packing access to 15,000 radio stations and podcasts through its built-in WiFi, aka INTERNET (see photo). It's got two 2.5 watt jAura sound speakers, a dual alarm clock, plus a 3.5mm line-in if you need to plug in your PMP. The clock self-updates via INTERNET, so you'll never be able to use that Daylight Saving Time excuse for being late to work again (we recommend the "flooded basement" or "sick cat" in its stead), and you'll have the option to wake to INTERNET or regular radio in addition to the old standby buzzer. It's available now for $199.

The latest version of Chrome has stomped out some of the bugs but others still remain. Google’s new browser, like all browsers in their early stages, needs a little more work. It is just a matter of time until they track down most of the nasty bugs and squash em’.

Google on Wednesday night released the new version 0.4.154.31 of its Chrome browser to bash a bug that bit me by blackening the new big-screen version of Street View. Indeed, I no longer get the problem. Now if the company could get its Google Earth browser plug-in to work with Chrome, it would look more like Google's right hand is cooperating with its left hand.

DTP departments use thousands of photos and images every day, adding captions and credits manually. Most of these pictures, though, already contain ready-to-use descriptions and copyrights. WoodWing decided to put these to use in InDesign, saving time and improving efficiency.
 

Launchpad, the web portal launched by Canonical for managing many different areas of Ubuntu work such as bug tracking, translation handling, and sharing of blueprints, now has a public API to expose its plug-in capabilities. Recently there were some official Launchpad plug-ins made available for integrating with Trac and Bugzilla, but now with this public API, anyone can write their own Launchpad plug-ins to provide for better integration with different bug tracking systems. This announcement came via Launchpad News and this plug-in API specification can be found on Launchpad Help.
