Google announced three different extensions for Firefox yesterday; Google Toolbar, Send to Phone and Google Suggest. So far I’ve installed the toolbar and it works pretty good. Comes with a spell check feature that is quite nice and handy. Plus it has AutoLink and a form filler which I haven’t played with yet. Except for […]

Firefox Gets Mac Pretty
Granted it’ll be a while until it arrives on my desktop, but the Firefox team has began adding Aqua elements into their web browser. Checkboxes, drop down menus and buttons are on their way. Users probably won’t see them until next year, however it is something to look forward to and something that I’ve been […]

Switching to Thunderbird
Well I’m taking the leap. I’m dropping Apple’s Mail application for Mozilla‘s Thunderbird email client at work. Thunderbird is free, customizable and available for Mac’s, PC’s and most operating systems. There were a couple of reasons for switching. Saved Searches (aka Smart Folders) Return Receipts Mail Priorities Labels Granted, Apple’s Mail.app has most of these […]
Will Firefox ever be Aquafied?

How it fits right in with the Mac environment. Well what about Firefox? Granted, I don’t think Firefox is ugly by any means, however I wish […]
Mac OS X Tiger for WordPress
It’s gorgeous! I found a plug-in that converts the admin side of WordPress into something much more Mac like! It’s so easy on the eyes and 10x better than the default.

Mail or Thunderbird? [updated]
I’m once again questioning what email client is best for work. I love Mail from Apple, however it’s lacking in features. No labels, no smart folders, no priorities, no return receipts. Ok, so if you can’t tell I’m on 10.3 at work and not 10.4. Mac OS 10.4 fixes all those issues except labels. Still […]
Real Web Browser Security
No web browser is perfect. Hackers will always find new security holes and opportunities for the media to create press and scare you. What really makes the difference in browser security is the time it takes a company to fix the issues. Within a week of finding out about security related issues in Firefox, the […]

Favelet Suite – The Power of Bookmarkletts
If you don’t know what a bookmarklette is, it’s a piece of javascript that you bookmark and invoke on a page. They can do things like highlight text, show nofollow links, create Technorati tags, count words and more. Well I just found the coolest one yet! It’s called Favelete Suite. Once you invoke it, it […]
