This is a great development for any mobile device enthusiast! Large capacity, super fast storage for your music player, PDA, or mobile phone? Yes please!
Sun has a brilliant idea here. While many companies may not have a use for a “mobile data center”, I can see the use of this type of solution during a disaster recovery for many large corporations. It would provide at least one additional option to trad
Zoli Erdos posts a great piece on why he thinks traditional desktop software has failed. I agree with many points that he makes, but would also add that there always needs to be some offline software of some sort. He almosts gets there when mentioning a
Interesting development – this is a pretty big deal for both the AP and Microsoft. Appearently the system is currently in trial and may bring value to the 7,000 media outlets that belong to the AP.
Tony Hung at Deep Jive Interests is right on the money – Don Dodge stuck a good one at Microsoft (his employer) on their current Google/Copyright fiasco. Check out his full post (its not too long).
I’ve been using FireFox as my main browser now for about 9 months (maybe a little more) and have become a true convert from IE. Since there is much more expandability on the FF side, I’ve really started depending on a select group of plug-ins. This expandability that was never available in IE, has allowed my browser to take on new functionality that I never dreamed could be possible. So here is a list of my current FF plug-ins.
FireFTP – FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox.
del.icio.us (classic version) – Keep, share and discover all your favorite things.
ClipMarks – With Clipmarks, you can clip the best parts of web pages.
GUtil – Google® Utilities in your Firefox Menu and Toolbar
Cooliris – Cooliris Previews 2.1 for Firefox gives you the power to browse faster and send links instantly.
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer – Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized.
Blog This for Firefox – The Blog This for Firefox adds a button to Firefox which starts a new Windows Live Writer blog post.
Google Notebook – GNotebook allows you to clip & collect information in private & shared notebooks.
So there you have it – the mainstays of my FF add-ons. The one other really powerful tool in FF for me is the bookmark toolbar. I wish there was a way to make a second toolbar for bookmarks as I have trimmed each entry down to one or two letters with the “favicon” for the site.
Do you have any great FF add-in suggestions? There are thousands out there and I know I’ve only scratched the surface.
Steve Rubel has created a basic Twitter search engine using the Google Co-op tools. So if you use Twitter and would like to be able to search all the entries – try this out.
The Democrats running for Governor must have failed their math classes. The “high speed rail” boondoggle in California already cost the state taxpayers billions of dollars. The mess there shows that I saved the hard-working taxpayers in Wisconsin from a scam that would have cost
