A Browser That Works With You …

A few years ago, I was look at the different browsers available. I tried Netscape and Opera but it wasn’t a seamless transition and I always seem to go back to using IE.  When I tried Firefox it ended up being a prefect match and I still use  Firefox as my main browser today. I really enjoyed the tab browsing – these was of course before IE 7. I didn’t have to think about what I was doing, which wasn’t the case with Netscape and Opera. Then with all the possible add-ons to choose from it took my web surfing to a new level.

Well I think my love for Firefox is going to grow with the release of Firefox 3. A big flaw in any browser is the favorites/bookmarks section. It is up to the user to organize their bookmarks so that they will be easily able to find the bookmark at a later date. Which is the whole point of bookmarks in the first.

Now being a web developer I save a lot of bookmarks to archived sites, tutorials, articles and many other things. I try my best to organize them so I will be able to actually find it when I need it later. I haven’t done too bad of a job but I still have A LOT! And some of them still end up going  missing.  It also takes a lot of cleaning up and re-organizing to keep my folder system working. It ends up being a real chore, sometimes worse then cleaning my desk.

So it was about time for a browser to step up to the plate and admit that they may have over looked how much some of us were really going to be using the bookmarks/favorites. Then supplying use with the proper tools to keep track not only of our bookmarks but previously viewed websites.

I read this article — http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/04/22/629/ — about Firefox’s new development to help bookmarking and finding a hell of a lot easier and faster. Hopefully a lot less time re-searching for that website I found about that thing a while back … dammit what was that website again?

I can’t wait for this to come out … I am highly considering getting the beta version myself!!

Soon to come my Metric review!!

Change the way we think …

Have you very found some new product that would change the way we do things. While here are a few I have found …

Alarm Ring (to the right) is a vibrating alarm designed for people who hate the loud blaring sounds of a typical alarm. The charging cradle is where you set what time you want each ring to go off. The ring fits over the tip of your finger and when that opportune time arrives, it vibrates. Putting the ring back on the dock shuts off the alarm.

FlatWire (to the left) is thinner than a business card and yet flexible enough to bend to any angle required for a customized installation. This technology has the same or better performance as conventional wiring.

Most uniquely, when FlatWire is installed correctly, it becomes virtually INVISIBLE.
FlatWire will forever change the way we think about wiring, decorating, redecorating and even new construction. We no longer have to compromise our vision of a room based on the location of outlets or how easily we can move them.
