Finally, bats can use Firefox ;-)

Mozilla Labs is a team of guys building the future of the web. They are doing a lot of amazing work (most of it only alpha or beta for time being) and open doors for radically new ways for our future interactions with the web. They have been working on Weave, Ubiquity or Prism. I really like those projects and want to use them in the future.

Here is a video to show how to make Firefox accessible for bats.


Ubiquity Tutorial: Turn a page upside-down from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.

Of course, it is useless for humans (except...Batman ;-) but it shows the power of this kind of technology.

No limit for Firefox

This is simple but brilliant! Alex made what he called "FoxGlove", it is a portable Firefox 3.0 based, fully customized to better integrate with all Google Apps such as Gmail, GCal, Docs, GTalk, Notebook and so on. It is very easy to take on a USB key everywhere. It also integrate a Google Chrome-like theme and you can have several versions with different Google Accounts open at the same time. Indeed it is very very usefull...at least for me ;-)

Why Google did not think about this before?
Defenitively there is no limit to Firefox customization power!

Firefox 3 rocks

No, it's not new! But I realized not long ago that I do not use anymore Safari on my Mac. The integration with MacOS is now really good, not petfect though: I am still missing integration with Keychain (Mac password manager). I wish also a simple way to sync bookmarks between Safari and Firefox since we will not get Firefox on iphone any time soon.
The 2 most useful new features for me as a user are:
- The new "awesome bar", it changes the way I search my bookmarks and history
- Tags on bookmarks: I don't organize my bookmarks into folders, I just mark them with relevant tags, it's much more convenient.
And more is to come on the upcoming 3.1...

Free virtual trip to China

Some guys got strange ideas sometimes... They have developed a Firefox add-0n to allow you to surf the web like if you were behind the "Great Firewall of China". Yes, you read it well! You can now experience the amazing feeling to see how is the Internet from a chinese point-of-view ;-)
Enjoy the experience being block for any kind of pretty common websites! Welcome to China Channel Firefox Addon.

Seriously, this can show you how bad the censorship is in China, and for webmaster a good way to test if their websites are censored by our best friend.
Talking about this, I presume my blog is going to be banned as well...

Enjoy your FREEDOM.
