dw96 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:30:42 +0000

One of the great things about modern internet browsers is the ability to extend them with Add-on's and Extensions. Some (including me) might argue that it's really the user community that makes a browser worth using. Google Chome is no exception! Earlier I talked about the Illimitux Firefox Extension and today I decided to drop the list of some of my other favorite Google Chome Extensions with the hope that if I share my favorites, you might also (in the comments). So, here's a few from my fav list! Enjoy!

groovinJackman — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:00:13 +0000

Earlier, I gave a rather ebullient guided tour of Windows Live Sync Beta 2011 (which will be known as Windows Live Mesh when it is officially released), touting its groovy potential as a backup tool and cloud storage solution.

Here’s why...

Twitters Fail Whale Is A Sardine Compared To Digg’s New Fail Ox

In elementary school we had a computer lab, but despite the public school system’s best attempts at teaching us programming, it was always more fun to play the Oregon Trail. The best part was that since the game taught us some good ole fashioned American history, our teachers thought it was a totally groovy win-win scenario. The new Digg designers were no exception to this, and they’ve brought the nostalgic Ox cart from the trail right to the front of Digg.
