Download: Firefox Add-on – AutoPager

autopager icon

Firefox is an Internet browser that keeps it’s popularity by it’s extensibility and every once in a while you find one of the those extensions/add-ons that need to be integrated in to the browser itself.

How many times have you been browsing the web, searching through page after page, hitting NEXT for the next page, over and over?

Here’s the solution for that…

Be Nice: Microsoft.com still doesn’t like Firefox

Microsoft just meanI understand the concept of wanting to protect your product and self-preservation, but where’s the adherement to web standards? Why can’t you just understand there are standards and everything needs to work through a browser.

And because a person chooses to use a browser other than Internet Explorer they should not suffer a penalty.

Can Mozilla’s Thunderbird bring it together in a Raindrop?

Thunderbird Raindrop[7]I read this article today about how Mozilla Thunderbird is coming together and they’re working on the ‘Universal Inbox’; this is SO MUCH what everyone needs.

And I agree with a lot of what it has to say.

I was discussing this with a friend of mine the other day about this very same problem and he posted a link to RainDrop and it’s a very good point.

People are communicating in all kinds of portals, Instant Message, email, forums, Twitter, Facebook…. the list goes on.

There has to be a way to make sense of it all- maybe Raindrop and be that answer.

Ubuntu 9.10 – Playing MP3 Music

Ubuntu mp3I’m a new user to Ubuntu, but I really want to try something new, different, from Windows and I’ve been downloading the various versions as they’ve been released to see the progression of the Operating System.

The progression of Ubuntu has been really good over the past few years and when DELL said they were going to start passing out Ubuntu with your PC’s and laptops, I thought that was great.

The thing is Ubuntu doesn’t seem to get any respect from software and hardware makers.

Rant: Seriously? DOOM on the iPhone

iPhone doom

I’m supposed to be impressed with this?

I’m a customer in the year 2009 and I’m supposed to be impressed that you’ve ported DOOM [a game from almost 15 years ago] to the iPhone and your able to play it any where; are you serious?

I realize this is just a phallus measuring contest with technology, but can everyone agree that the iPhone is not a phone; it’s just a portable computer and a side function of being able to talk to people with it…

Pirating Windows 7; nothing changes.

Windows 7 pirateIt’s no surprise that the pirating of Windows 7 is just so obsessive right now. Microsoft Vista was such a disastrous release. Microsoft release Vista thinking it would be the answer to XP and it was just the opposite.

I wouldn’t really buy a Windows 7 Key from EBay and I wouldn’t buy a copy Windows 7 before it’s release date. And Reuters is already reporting China has Windows 7 on the shelves for close to $3.

The problem that’s pointed out in that article is the same as the issue that’s here. Windows 7 is too damn expensive and if people can’t buy it; they are going to pirate it. Where’s there’s a need, there’s a supplier and where there’s a supplier… there are crooks and opportunists.

Installing Adobe Flash on Ubuntu 9.10 – Just works.

Ubuntu just work

One of the first things your going to need with Ubuntu 9.10 is FLASH player. I’m still not real happy with Ubuntu and Adobe on this mess; it’s just stupid.

How in the world is a new person to Ubuntu to understand half the gibberish crap about terminal commands, the tweaks to get the FLASH player installed?

While the Ubuntu forums are swarmed with them… this is what I did, it worked and it was painless in comparison to going to Adobe’s website to install the latest .DEB.

Making the comparison: Replacing WinZIP with 7ZIP

money winzip Can everyone agree that ZIP is a standard now?

I think it’s a standard now. It’s basic functionality was built in to the Windows XP Operating System; you could open ZIP [compressed] files without doing anything.

I’ve an associate that absolutely swears by WinZIP. It’s the end all be all of file compression and all he really uses it for is opening ZIP files.

If that’s all, then there’s better options.
