What is CyberSearch? It lets you perform various types of Google searches right from the address bar in Firefox 3. As you’re typing the extension will send your query to Google, grab the results, and then display them along side the history results that Firefox normally shows.

Iterasi: A Useful Service for Bookmarkers and Surfers Alike

https://www.iterasi.net/Home.aspx

Every day you find web pages you may never see again. Which is fine, unless you actually need that information. Bookmarks don’t cut it. They lead you to where that information was — but not the information itself. With iterasi, you can save any web page and return to it anytime, from anywhere, forever.

A geek can open his own box. have you ever tried to open one of those Dell POS cases? They swing sideways. Didn’t know that, took me five minutes (and several of those positions) to finally figure out how to open it.

nobody@vox.com(Java Jane) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:15:47 -0500

Just installed this experimental add on to my Firefox, and all I can say is this is TRANSFORMATIVE. Amazing. Rocks. If you are a computer power user, social webbie, use twitter, want to easily translate web pages, add things to email, including maps, food reviews, want to in one stroke map out locations on craigslist or with one stroke make bookmarklets into power commands, highlight text and do things like email, translate, etc. without cutting and pasting and opeing apps...you need to check this amazing Mash Up extension out - replaces a ton of extensions in one and does things heretofore not possible on the web. FOR REAL!

GadgetTrak:Preventing Laptop Theft, Laptop anti-theft software for Windows, Laptop Theft Recovery So

http://www.gadgettrak.com/products/wi...

Great Idea. I may have to shell out for this, even addresses privacy concerns other similar software does not... The FBI estimates that 1 out of every 10 laptops will be stolen within 12 months of purchase. GadgetTrak for Windows PCs helps protect your system from theft by utilizing powerful tracking technology to locate the precise location of your PC in the event it is stolen. Whenever your PC is moved to a new location, GadgetTrak detects this and sends information directly to you including IP address, internal network address, host names as well as location and ISP data.

Why Online HD is a Lie & Other HD commentary...

nobody@vox.com(Java Jane) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:45:30 -0400

Samsung LN52a650

Well I finally bit the bullet and felt that technology for LCD flat panels rivaled that of plasma TV's and took the plunge. To that end I just ordered my Samsung 120hz LCD HDTV beauty with TOC (touch of color) which should be delivered any day. My review of the set will be dropped right here once I get it and have time to put it through both HD and SD viewing.

Right now the most "perfect" of the imperfect Blu Ray players is still the SONY PlayStation3. Price drops on current stand alone Blu Ray players are impending (can we just stipulate HD DVD is dead?) and hopefully the crop of new players will be more perfected and one won't have to make trade offs and start out at a better overall price point. *Fingers Crossed* Until that time I'm going with a well priced SONY Bravia Home Theater System model DAV-HDX576WF for just around $300 beans, which is amazing special outlet pricing (I live 2 miles from a SONY Style store with B-stock items, many which aren't refurb, but just open or damaged boxes) upscaling DVD player HTIB (Home Theater In a Box) until I find a Blu Ray that is more perfected at a price point I'm willing to throw down on.

So of course, it's nice to be able to bring the HDTV experience to my small screen on the go too. Not only is there not a lot of [legal] HD content, but it's also not "truly" HD. See the article below for an explanation of why online HD streaming is a "lie". To that end, my favorite site for now is Hulu when it comes to online streaming and they do offer some HD content, even if it is not the HD I will get on my TV. If anyone has other HD streaming sites (besides ABC's HD offering) they really like, please comment!

Why HD movie downloads are a big lie by ZDNet's George Ou -- There’s a lot of buzz lately about the delivery of HD TV and Movie content over the Internet with shows like Lost being delivered by ABC.com and other video download services with XBox360 or iTunes. I even have friends and colleagues telling me that BlueRay or HD-DVD won’t make it because HD will simply be [...]

My Living Will - Free to Copy [Humor]

nobody@vox.com(Java Jane) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:07:43 -0400

It's very important to have this written down!



New Living Will Form I, ____________________ being of sound mind and body, do
 not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.



Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead partisan
 politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended
on it or lawyers, doctors, and hospitals interested in simply running up the

 bills.If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least
one of the following:______a Martini ______a Margarita ______ a Scotch & soda
 
     ______ a Gin and Tonic _______a Glass of Chardonnay ______

     ______ a Beer_______a Steak ______Lobster or crab legs
    ______ the remote control______a bowl of ice cream
    ______ the sports page ______Chocolate ______or ______Sex It should be pr-
esumed that I won't ever get any better. When such adetermination is reached

, I hereby instruct my appointed person andattending physicians to pull the
plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day. 

At this point, it is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come do
 their thing at my funeral
