First Firefox 6 build next week, Firefox 7 by May, and aurora channel introduced

Firefox 5, 6, 7 and release channels
Mozilla's Engineering Project Manager, Christian Legnitto, has detailed the release schedule for Firefox 5, 6 and 7. If all goes to plan, Firefox 6.0a1 will be released next week, April 12, and Firefox 7.0a1 in the middle of May. The final build of Firefox 5 should be released on June 21, exactly three months after the release of Firefox 4.

Along with the faster 6-week release cadence, Firefox's new Chrome-like release channels have also been given names and anticipated update frequencies. The most notable change is the introduction of a new alpha channel -- which is analogous to Chrome Canary -- that will be called 'aurora' and will update nightly. Aurora will be where fixes and features are tested, and either approved for Beta, or backed out to Central. Aurora will have a new icon, too.

The Nightly (mozilla-central) channel will remain unchanged in name and frequency, but it will gain a new 'nightly icon.' The Beta (mozilla-beta) channel will remain as-is, with new builds rolling out weekly. The Release (mozilla-release) channel will also remain as-is, with security and stability updates coming every 6 to 12 weeks.

It should be noted that the names (including 'aurora') are not necessarily final, but it's unlikely that they'll change. We're also awaiting the arrival of the new 'channel switching' technology, which should arrive in the next few days -- in time for the release of Firefox 6 aurora!

'Star Trek 2' News: Benicio Del Toro Out, Khan In?

Turns out that yesterday's report of Benicio Del Toro starring in "Star Trek 2" as Khan weren't totally accurate ? but not necessarily on the Khan front.

Fox News: 'Muppets' Trying To Brainwash Your Children!

This may come as a bit of a shock, but it's only right for you to know that you've been "indoctrinated" by the Muppets. Yes, as much as Jim Henson's crew of cuddly misfits might have appeared to want nothing more than to teach children how to count on "Sesame Street" or to make them [...]

Audrina Patridge Gets Santa Sexy for Bongo Giveaway

Tending to her all-important spokesmodel duties, Audrina Patridge got into the Christmastime spirit at Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood, CA today (December 6).

The former "Hills" hottie was decked out in a sexy red dress and Santa hat as she posed alongside a few shirtless male models and signed autographs during a Bongo Holiday Giveaway.

Tweeting about the day's doings to her many followers, Miss Patridge started up by messaging, "Just getting to the big bongo truck on Hollywood and highland!!.. Whose coming for some treats and to visit??"

Once settled in, the 26-year-old brunette beauty joyously added, "With my glam squad crew @RiawnaCapri, @Beau_Nelson!!! Time for ms. Clause to start handing out cupcakes"

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Go South of the Border

Heading south of the border together, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were spotted arriving in sunny Mexico on Tuesday (December 6).

The loved-up couple departed from Los Angeles International Airport earlier in the morning while attempting to keep a low profile upon arrival to the Mexican airport (to no avail).

The sighting comes just as the release of Bieber?s new ?Santa Clause Is Coming to Town? video hit the web (watch in the player above).

In the beginning, viewers see the teen sensation winding up and bringing a robot dancer to life before the 17-year-old Canadian livens up Santa?s workshop with some suave break-dancing moves.

HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables

I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.

When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."

B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.

I hated her.

Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.

WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?

Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?

Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.

I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.
