Cooliris, the visually-enthralling free browser plug-in that allows you to navigate through online photos and video via a 3-D image wall, has been updated to version 1.1.1. New to this version is support for displaying Cooliris within tabbed windows, sharable URLs, and greater support for Flickr information and MySpace content.
At one time Cooliris completely took over your computer screen with its wall of images and movies. While this was a beautiful way to view this content, Cooliris blocked access to other content. With version 1.1.1 you can now invoke Cooliris within a tabbed window and have multiple instances of it running in different tabs—your Flickr page in one tab, Cooliris’ main browser in another, and an Amazon.com search in another. If you prefer to browse the Web in a not-so-visual way, simply navigate away from a Cooliris tab or open a new tab.
Cooliris windows now bear URLs, which allow you to set one as a home page, bookmark pages so you can later return to view their contents, and share the contents of a Cooliris page by sending its URL to a friend. Additionally, when you view the contents of a Flickr page you see more information—title, author, description, and tags. With MySpace images you can view any page of a content wall.
Cooliris is compatible with Firefox (Windows XP/Vista, Mac, and Linux), Internet Explorer. and Safari (Mac).

The original Canon EOS 300D was the first digital SLR (DSLR) to break the $1,000 price barrier. Since then, Canon has released several other models with smaller bodies and larger feature lists, with the latest being the EOS 450D.

Pass the $2000 and your options in dSLRs improve dramatically. Canon’s EOS 50D is an excellent example. Described as an ‘enthusiast camera’, the 50D could easily stand in as a pro’s backup to the company’s flagship — and the one we all hunger for! — EOS 5D.
