I generally agree that using Flash as way to navigate a Web site is a mistake that is costly to make. Looking back on this however, I have to wonder if perhaps we might simply be overacting.

You should have the power to block any Web sites you want to block, right? The Internet browser is your window into the Online world. It should be your right to filter out what content you do not wish to see. Firefox may not come built in with too many content blocking […]

Most “What You See Is What You Get” or WYSIWYG editors aren’t worth much. Sure there are a few that break that rule, but for the most part I have always said you are better off ignoring them. What if you could edit other people’s Web sites in this way? As long […]

I love to see Firefox extensions that really add neat and cool features that I might have not thought of before. The MileWideBack extension makes the left side of your Firefox window a really big “go back” button. All you need to do is click on the left border of the window, and […]

Need to look up some facts about a person of interest? The People Search and Public Record Toolbar is a handy menu tool for investigators, legal professionals, real estate agents, online researchers and anyone interested in doing their own basic people searches and public record lookups as well as background research.

This sounds like a cool idea, however I am curious as to how it performs with system resources?

Dynamic-language capabilities? Microsoft? It seems that the software giant among others are getting serious when it comes to these programming languages.

Typically, the online consultant uses an email autoresponder to notify new contacts that their request for a job quote has been received. The message that the recipient gets looks something like this:
Thank you for contacting COMPANY X. Your request has been received. We will be contacting you in 24-48 business hours with a response to […]

Sure, I can type pretty fast. Over the years, I have found myself typing faster than I can write. When it comes to the number pad though, I am all thumbs. I do not know why, it just seems very unfamiliar to me. I have a feeling that I am not […]

Since this is “back to school” season, I figured I would find a Firefox extension that would fit in with that theme. The Web Marker extension reminds me of my days of school where I would read through books, and have to highlight certain parts of them. I don’t really remember why we […]

OK, first question - why? What in the world do I want with a Google powered MP3 player?

Boy, this almost sounds too good to be true! Create your own APIs from almost any website…

Surely you can see the value of this! Try out IE 7 before actually installing it to your system.

I love sticky notes. They help me keep things in order, and as a very neat person, that makes me very happy. Keeping everything organized and nice makes for a better browsing experience as well. Want to add some notes to Firefox? All you need to do is download the Internote […]

You have to enjoy a Firefox extension when the name pretty much sums up what it is all about. The ilovevideoz Toolbar is one of those extensions. This tool is one that will help you keep up to date with all the different video sharing Web sites and make sure you have seen […]

OK. this is just wild! I can honestly say that I did not think that I would see the day when Microsoft would be working to make sure that Firefox would be working on Vista…

With the delay of Internet Explorer yet again, Firefox has a total green light to move ahead in market share even further.

Not the best move for Microsoft in the PR sense, but it certainly is a smart move when considering the problems releasing it would have caused.

Everybody loves Gmail, but some of us love it too much. Do you ever find youself switching between Gamil logins just to get all your E-mail checked? Moving the mouse around, logging in, logging out - it is all a lot of work. Why do all that work though, when there is […]

I don’t really believe that there is any question that javascript is a mixed bag. Handy for the web-dev, dangerous for the uninformed user.
