True. A lot of us have probably asked (as kids or even as grown ups) that proverbial question. Not that you can actually dig straight down and go through molten rock and through the super dense core of the earth. But hey, curiosity can get the best of you at times.
So how do you [...]

Speaking of Firefox, I just can’t wait for the release of Firefox 3. Unfortunately for me, it will still be a few months before I could get hold of the third major incarnation of my favorite browser. But since I trust that Mozilla is gunning for quality over a shippable (shit-able) format, I’m quite [...]

Now here’s one for a dose of retro. How about some Pacman on your Firefox? Yup, that’s right. You read it. Play Pacman on Firefox. with the Pacman add-on.
It plays pretty much like your good old Pacman game. It’s pretty much straight up (complete with the retro sound effects) only you get to play [...]

I’m a big Simpsons fan and I’m glad that after all of these years, our favorite yellow-skinned family will be hitting the big screen. Finally. And I just can’t wait for it to be in theaters for a much needed break from work and watch a decent movie.
In any case, the Simpsons Movie website’s [...]

One of the things that turn people off from Firefox is it’s tendency to be a resource hog. There are several ways to address this. One is not to max out Firefox - just keepin. Another way is to limit the number of add-ons activated at a given time. Or you can do these [...]

Actually, listing images is a feature already included in the Web Developer toolbar. But for a non-web developer, the toolbar might just as well be a resource hog with all its features. If all you need is a list of the images on a web page (for educational, appreciation, or leeching purposes), here’s an [...]

Way back, we featured this little about:config tweak to control image resizing in Firefox. This little tweak allows you to automatically shrink the image to fit the page. However, Firefox doesn’t allow full functionality over zooming in and out of an image, so here’s an add-on that would let you do just that.
Image Zoom [...]

I haven’t really used an offline dictionary software for my wordsmithing duties. Since I’m online almost always, I just access my browser and use Google define: operator. In any case, it provides you with a whole lot of possible definitions from different contexts.
If you’re an avid user of this Google feature, then you might [...]

For all of you that have been wanting a Widget Ready version of the Illacrimo theme, it is finally here. It took some doing, and there are some limitations, but hopefully this will make most of you happy.

A long while back, we featured VideoDownloader, an add-on that lets you save YouTube videos as FLV files. Now it was good for its function but it never did anything more than just that.
Going back to the business of embedded videos, we figured it’s time to feature a newer video downloading add-on that does [...]

Bloggers on Blogger rejoice! Here’s one thing that can help you with your backup woes. If you’ve been happily blogging for quite sometime, you may have amassed so much material that you probably want to keep offline copies (you know, just in case something goes horribly wrong with Google).

Since today’s Web is gearing toward standardization via Web standards and being a bit more humane with considerations for accessibility. If you’re a web developer/designer then validation is one of your true friends that help you “get things right.”
However, while the W3C website offers a free validation service, it does have certain limitations like [...]

If you’re a blogger or reviewer, taking screencaps can be a real chore. That is, if you don’t invest on a good screen capturing software. Of the ones I’ve tried, Techsmith’s SnagIt is my favorite. However, you have to pay around $40 for it. Firing up Photoshop (or GIMP) can really slow you down [...]

So many places have actually put limits to what you can get from the Net. Many schools have blocked social network sites and broadband hogs. Some countries just don’t even allow people to access sites. Oh yes, not to exclude those nasty network admins who love to deprive you your daily Internet trash.
So while [...]
