I just learned today of a nice handy tip for Firefox and I thought it wil be nice to share it here.

If you are a regular web user, over period of time you would have accumulated loads of URLs bookmarked. One day, you want to pay a visit to your best friend blog that you have not visited for months. Now… in which folder have you saved it under?

Once upon a time dot-com is an uber catchphrase synonimous with instant millionaires. Nowadays it is looked down as a period of crazy excess and irrational behaviours. Very few people want to be caught dead with a dot com tag on their name.

How cool is it if we can be invisible?

Remember ‘The Invisible Man’ (the 1970’s TV series not Kevin Bacon’s recent film), Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, Batman’s cool bat-mobile in Batman Begin and of course James Bond’s aston martin in ‘Die Another Day’. Or, the Alien in Arnie’s Predator.. or our own Aziz M Osman’s Misi XX Ray.

On Sunday, I came across postings on the web saying that Yahoo has announced that it plan to give unlimited storage size of their free web mail service account i.e to Infinity size.
