Just a little tip I found out about! http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=719 Quickly explained, this link (or you can descend THIS page for the same thing) gives you the chance to "tweak" the Firefox Browser. Make it better, because apart from the tab "options" there are hundreds of things you can change to make it run faster, better and smoother. OK - that said, BE CAREFUL, because changes can be dangerous! That's whu Mozilla give you a warning before you can open the page. As you probably know, Google and Mozilla are "transparent" - that means that their processes are open to all - you've just got to understand how to use it, and that if you make changes - well, they can possibly not be done correctly BY YOU....! All the instructions are given, and the simpler changes are given below. Just take time, and if you're not sure, then don't do it! You can also Google search "using about config" (just type it into the se...

Image via Wikipedia This could be interesting for those people I see (and hear) who like changing the infernal noise their handy/mobile phones give out when they should really only RING! I know people who actually pay for kinky little tunes - to be different, I suppose.

Image by Bern@t via Flickr Funny old day, really. Started by watching the Barcelona Tourist Board representatives tearing their hair out as the rain poured down in "Sunny Spain ", during the Tour de France (those people who have been following me for days on their bikes). Sipping delicately on my German beer , at home in the truly sunny South of France , I tuned a page on my PC from Holland, to the direct commentary from Cardiff (Welsh Wales ) of the 1st Test match in cricket between ENGLAND and AUSTRALIA, on the British BBC Radio Player, just occasionally looking at my evening meal of lamb provencale, bubbling away on the stove. The TV was now burbling away in Italian, on the Satellite Dish , and I was controlling e-mails in German, French, English (both American and British styles). This evening I'll be watching football from Denmark , between Danish and German clubs, probably in German, but maybe in French - Image by iwmpop via Flickr Time flies, and so it...

For example, Gmail has worn the beta tag more than five years. We realize this situation puzzles some people, particularly those who subscribe to the traditional definition of "beta" software as not being yet ready for prime time. Ever since we launched the Google Apps suite for businesses two years ago, it's had a service level agreement, 24/7 support, and has met or exce...
