Digging Mozilla

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I downloaded Mozilla 1.2 Beta last night and there are two new features that are rocking my world right now. First the pop-up manager actually solves the problem I was having with surfing blogs and opening comment windows by letting me specify which sites are not allowed to do pop-ups, and leaving the pop-up comment windows alone.

Secondly, giving you the option to setup a group of tabbed pages as your homepage is very cool. Now I can go ahead and open 3-4 pages right from the start, that saves some clicks. Always a good thing!

Blogger even seems to work with the new version, so it’s very close to becoming the only browser I need to surf with. I’ll have to test it some more before I make that determination, but it’s got a shot!

Speaking of new versions, AmphetaDesk v0.93.1 is Now Available. Some minor fixes, some security improvements, etc. Read more on their site.

What is it, exactly, about Blackberry devices and water? We’ve had two users this week completely trash their blackberries by dropping them in water, one in a pool, another in the tub. Of course, the real question I should be asking is why can you not put the blackberry down for awhile? Seriously, relax in…

One less laptop

There’s one less laptop in our pool this week, at least for now. It seems this particular laptop was a victim of a miracle. It was in a padded laptop case, just stuck in a car, and somehow the front of it (all the way across the base) got cracked and the touchpad doesn’t work. It’s truly…

My platform

In response to some of the comments on the post below: Marc wonders what my platform would be, he suggests “Two PC’s in every house”. I’m thinking more along the lines of “What do I look like, Santa Claus? Get a job and buy your own stuff!”It’s not exactly the “caring” platform, but you know…

Not that I don’t still like Amphetadesk, but I felt the need to try something new. So I downloaded NewsDesk this morning and it works pretty well. I really like it! Yeah I have a slow day and I go home and look for new freeware to play with, isn’t that always the way? BTW,…

Note to self

Just noting this here so I can find it later. Tutorial: Streaming Internet Radio on your Pocket PC An interesting idea, no doubt. I’d have to do it while the Axim is plugged into the wall though, as the battery life while using the wireless adapter wouldn’t allow for extended use, but it’s got some…
