This could be huge!

This morning over at Pirillo’s blog I saw that beta version 2.0 of the Google Toolbar is out. I’ve been a big fan of the toolbar since I first ran across it, and this version adds a popup blocker, an autofill and a “BlogThis” feature!

Sounds very cool, and the popup blocker eliminates one of the reasons I have been using Mozilla more than IE. Now they just need tabbed browsing and we’ll be good to go, or Google needs to release a toolbar that works with Mozilla and then I can drop IE, since the toolbar is one of the big reasons I still use IE at all.

Update: Josh comments that there is a GoogleBar for Mozilla. I’ll have to check that out!

    I don’t know how she did it, but by the time I got home from work last night, Angela had already been on the phone with RoadRunner support and had the modem all ready for me to transport back to their office in exchange for a new one. A short trip to their service center…

    This is a really good reminder to not rely on a third-party to be the home of all of your stuff. You may end up losing it forever. Despite the constant flurries of social startups (Vine! Snapchat! TikTok! Ello! Meerkat! Peach! Path! Yo!), when the dust was blown off the chisel, the 2010s revealed that…

    Here’s a novel idea for your non-technical friends, and one I just came up with while having a discussion with a coworker: So you have a friend who has an old PC and wants rid of it. They don’t want to toss it in the trash, obviously, they want to drop it at a recycling…

    See here’s the thing. Angela was out of town so from the time I left work on Friday at 5 until 9 Saturday morning, when I logged into Skype for the Tech Chat, I hadn’t actually spoken to anyone or tried to form a coherent sentence. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’m assuming…
