And only someone nuttier would probably take score of everything and memorize each and every one of them down to search syntaxes and keyboard shortcuts.

Last time, I buzzed an alert to everyone who uses Firefox to download their favorite add-ons ASAP since Mozilla was supposed to trim down the list. But as I monitored the Mozilla site, there were still no updates made on the site. The reason behind, apparently, is that, they delayed the site update for tonight [...]

One things that’s a bummer. Some of us keep two accounts in one e-mail provider. Like for example, some would have two or more Gmail accounts. However, more often than not, you can only open one account at a time in a browser. One quick way around this is to have two browsers open (usually [...]

I do keep a lot of accounts across the Web. And as a matter of personal security policy, I keep different passwords for each of them. So that means I have to remember each and everyone then type them in whenever I need to access an account. Quite a tedious process if you ask me. [...]

All the while, I’ve been blogging about Firefox 2 and haven’t really written about Firefox 3. What’s nice about Mozilla is they alway keep their development open to the public. Such is the case with their developments with Firefox 3 dubbed as “Gran Paradiso.” As the title of this post states, they’ve made Firefox 3.0 [...]

There are some web pages that you tend to refresh every once in a while. While some services like sports play-by-play pages and some webmail inbox pages do, most of them don’t. That is if you don’t use Reload Every – an add-on for Firefox 2.0. What this does is to add an option to [...]

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a real neat document format created by Adobe. Unfortunately, their default (free) reader, Adobe Reader is quite a resource hog.
