Use Mozilla Firefox’s Sidebar Option

al1r4do5Firefox has lots of neat plug-ins, but if you don’t require them and can get the same result with something more standard; it nice because it uses less resources and less resources typically mean a faster system.

Extensions: What Mozilla could learn from Google

Chrome screenshotFor being such a young browser and to be forced in the competition so quickly, Chrome as done well to hold it’s ground, it’s also collected a fan club of it’s own.

The browser did very well in security tests and continues to impress in the speed arena; making the Internet faster. But one of the things holding back Chrome has been extensions; something Firefox made an Internet browser standard.

But Mozilla didn’t refine the extension process. Their interface is still clunky, but Google made it better in Chrome.

Raindrop Mobile Progression on my Head…

raindrop screenshotRaindrop is a concept that should be worth while to anyone and there seems to be a lot of work going on over at Mozilla on getting something developed to handle these influx of information.

The fact that the whole process and application is web-based is encouraging. This ensures the application of this type of functionality and being able to use it through a mobile device is a very nice effect.

It’s exciting to see this progress…

Adobe to 64-bit users: NO FLASH PLAYER FOR YOU!

Adobe 64bit MissingYou’ve got to be kidding me. 64-bit machines have [not are] flooded the market. Everyone has witnessed the flood of 64-bit systems to the market and yet there’s no 64-bit FLASH player!

Nah, forget it Internet Explorer users I’m not even discussing Internet Explorer. Just about as far as anyone cares, that browser is dead. Even a person that missed passing his SAT’s by 2400 point knows NOT to use Internet Explorer.

Thunderbird v3b4 – impressions

imageI’ve been reporting on the progression of Thunderbird and they’ve released another beta.

When Microsoft noticed that everyone was finding more attraction to the MAC Operating System, they changed up the GUI. When Microsoft finds a person doing better than they are they copy or assimilate the technology.

Seems Google is the only one that’s coming up with unique ideas. Google has released Chrome, Android and now they are promising the Chrome Operating System.
