I’m working up a huge Firefox Tab overload over here due to my habit of tab saving for this blog…just to get this off my shoulders.. 😉
Prism is a step in the ever-going Webapp->desktop app movement. It opens a website in a stripped down Firefox that has no tabs or url bar, loads quickly. This allows you to have essentially a shortcut to say, gmail, or Google Docs, or whatever your favorite online app is. Of course, this won’t help you if you have no internet, but sometimes this will keep distractions free, allow you to have instant access to your app quick and light.

Flashladybug has now officially undergone sabbatical and will be returning at a future date after all of its authors figure out what is going on with their lives. Our apologies for not further allowing you to waste time reading random technology or news articles.

Our apologies for the downtime….we had some um, issues with certain people and spam…
It got sooooo bad, that wordpress was using so many cycles that our host was shutting it down everytime it ran. We will be resuming posting soon, after I get my act together and find us a better theme 😛

Yea…i dont know bout the 1.06 bit…but hey…its a google cheat sheet. Who needs more? And if its past 1.00, its all good 😉
Useful….and I do NOT think I need to explain more than that this little pdf will make lots of things you need to do with google so much easier. Of course…if you knew it already, itd be even easier.
Google Cheat Sheet

A very odd, but interesting concept. You3b is made for people who don’t have the time to watch single youtube movies. I mean…you can’t expect people to watch ONE movie, when you could be watching 3 right? You3b will let you do that on the same screen. You just have to try this out….its definately for the ADD among us. (this is NOT a disparaging comment towards the ADD, because….well, i’m pretty easily distracted by a squirrel or a shiny object sooooo…..)

I present you….You3b

Every time i login to gmail, i look at my remaining storage, and think….omg….
I am currently at 93% usage….and lemme put it this way, i dont use gmail as online storage. Most of it….is email with text attachments o.O
While google’s deal this time is not the most um, attractive one that you can find online, atleast its an option.
From now on, you can buy extra storage space. Current rates are as follows:
6 GB ($20.00 per year)
25 GB ($75.00 per year)
100 GB ($250.00 per year)
250 GB ($500.00 per year)

Slightly pricey…so I’m holding off on this for now. However, at the launch of this service, it is rumored/with some evidence, that for 6 GB, the rate was $1. 🙁
Sadly…it is no longer.
You can view your current storage usage in your Account Panel
Which also has a link for upgrading storage.

Seeing how i feel pretty sick today…im home from work, and well…what else is there to do but figure out and find more ways to make dangerous things? 😛
Ya…..
so, here is how you can take a maglite and a dvd burner, combine the two with a bit of tweaking and get yourself a laser on par with a Spyder laser. Check it out on instructables. Keep in mind never to point this thing at ANYone, or even point it where there could possibly be a person. also….don’t point it at an aircraft unless you want the FAA and possibly the FBI after you ;P

A bit of google news for us all.

Google Maps:
Most of us have used google maps for directions, and perhaps glanced at its time estimation. If my trip went anywhere near population…id double or add 20 minutes to the traveling time, for traffic, etc. Well….I have one less thing to do now 😛 Google now automatically adds in traffic estimations according to current conditions, etc. Maybe not exact…but, its better than nothing.

Google News:
Comments on Digg, comments on blogs, comments everywhere, and now…even news! Google News will now allow people to submit comments to news stories, provided their name, and a method of verification. The example given, was a flood. If you lived in the area where there was a flood, you could leave a comment on how conditions were there. If you were mentioned in the story, even better :P. I think its an interesting twist to normal news. Their launching it only on domestic sections atm, but will release it worldwide if it turns out promising.

mmm, apparently….potato chip flavoring can increase the life of concrete.Sadly, its just one of the components…, sodium acetate. It waterproofs concrete by taking water’s place, then shrinking when dried. Interesting….maybe we should just cover the roads with potato chips. (NO) 😛
