Firefox to enforce 'click to play' for non-Flash plug-ins
Day-to-day web browsing in Firefox is about to get a little different. According to a blog post by Michael Coates, Mozilla's Director of Security Assurance, Firefox will soon require users to click to play content from all third-party plug-ins—except for the latest version of Flash.

Particle effects swirl in Hawken PhysX demo Nvidia has been pushing its proprietary PhysX technology for what seems like forever.

Instead, you typically get smaller, blower-style coolers with higher-pitched acoustic profiles and a propensity to get whinier over time. Noise shouldn't be an issue for Foxconn's NanoPC, though. This puppy offers passive cooling in a book-sized chassis that should fit just about anywhere.
