Mozilla’s Firefox 4 has been under beta for quite some time now, and it seemed that they’re now confident about their Firefox 4 RC and has been given a march 22 release date as target.

Thus far the RC is being under QA and only one major bug from Java has been found, and Mozilla consider it not a blocking bug, so it should be a small matter or will be easily resolved. Of course, if a major bug is found in between now and the launch date, then a new RC will be released, and the release date will be delayed.

Microsoft has officially released their Internet Explorer 9 yesterday, and Mozilla’s Firefox 4 is behind schedule by about five months according to the development cycle. What’s more Firefox 5 is expected to be rolled about before end of June, so the Firefox team is indeed under heavy pressure at the moment.

Here are some very familiar yet new headphones. Signeo’s Soul by Ludacris headphone series made its debut earlier at CES, and now it’s going official. It does look like something from the Beats, but it’s going to be cheaper than the Beats.

The top-end SL300 is set to sell for $299, while the similarly styled SL150 goes for $199. The more conventional SL100 will list for $149, and if it’s earbuds you’re craving, the SL99 will sport an MSRP of $99 while the low-end SL49 offers itself for just $69. The headphones will be in stores around May if you’re interested, but only apply to Americans. International release is still unconfirmed.

Apple’s new Apple TV that was launched last year didn’t actually sail smoothly, as it was being haunted with a few small issues just like the iPhone 4. There’s the screen flickering from some owners using a HDMI to DVI adapter for their Apple TV. This might be a small issue and only happens when using the adapter, but now an Apple rep has confirmed on the company’s support forums that Apple is indeed “aware of this issue and working on a fix.” No more details than that at the moment, but it seems like you can rest assured that Apple won’t be leaving you behind just because your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port. Then again, a 32-inch TV with HDMI port is bloody cheap these days, although most of them don’t support 1080P but so does the Apple TV anyway.

Microsoft’s infamous Internet Explorer 9 has just gone live few days ago, and Google has already get along with Microsoft by releasing an early WebM plug-in for Microsoft’s dear browser, something even Microsoft themselves refused to do, despite fully supporting HTML5.

Of course, this is only a “preview” at what Internet Explorer 9 can do if Microsoft is willing to play along, which we doubt. The add-on will enable users to play all WebM video content, despite the fact that an additional download is needed. Microsoft said that it would allow for support and it appears to be following up on its word. Hopefully this statement will last.
