Hot on the tail of the D700 release, Nikon let loose firmware 2.0 for the D3 DSLR, making the amazing camera even better. The main points of interest are improved autofocus and white balance, but I've blockquoted the laundry list below. The D300 gets a firmware update to 1.03 to fix incorrect battery indicator readouts, which is not nearly as exciting. [Nikon via Rob Galbraith via Gadgetlab]

The new MacBook Pros based upon the Santa Rosa chipset have been benchmarked. The results? The new MacBook Pro consistently edged out the old quad-core PowerMac G5 w/Geforce 7300 GT video card, winning in 4 out of 5 tests.
Still, it's fair to call the new laptops about even with the quad cores of yesteryear (better known as last year) because the results were so close. How does the new MacBook Pro compare to last week's version? It's much faster in 3D tests.
We attribute most of the speed bump to the new GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor, which pushed 50% more frames in Quake 4 and Prey. That GeForce card is a beast.
Hit the link for the full graphs and anomalies, including when the last gen MacBook Pro pushed more frames in the (unoptimized we're guessing) Halo 2. – Mark Wilson

Jordin Sparks may have won American Idol, but Blake Lewis is definitely coming out on top in the U.S. singles charts.
His cover of Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name just cracked the top ten this week, coming in at #9.
Meanwhile, Sparks' This Is My Now lingers at #14.
She may have a bigger voice, but Blake's got that "it" factor with the girls and - especially - the boys.
This week's #1 song belongs to Rihanna with her highly infectious Umbrella.
Fergie climbs three spots to #3 with Big Girls Don't Cry.
And, Miz Amy Winehouse's Rehab jumps a whopping 25 spots, leaping from #55 to #30 this week.
Other gainers include Gwen Stefani's 4 in the Morning, which jumped from #65 to #56, and Nelly Furtado's All Good Things, which went from #93 to #68.
Congrats to all!
