Auto Dial Puts Frequently Visited Sites in New Tabs [Featured Firefox Extension] (19) share digg
by Adam Pash (2818) on Lifehacker (7671) 1 week, 2 days ago permalink
Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): The Auto Dial Firefox extension automatically places shortcuts to your most frequently visited web sites inside all of your new, empty tabs. Mozilla Labs recently suggested that empty tabs could be put to better use by offering no-cost options for the user (i.e., if what you want isn't what's offered, it doesn't hurt anything). Although not as inspired as the undeveloped concept at Mozilla Labs, Auto Dial fits perfectly with this idea. ...

Official: First Google Android Phone Design Image (4) share digg
on Digg (1708) 1 week, 3 days ago permalink
The first design image of the HTC Dream AKA T-Mobile G1 better known as the first Google Android OS powered phone is out via the AndroidGuys. The phone seems inspired by HTC's Sidekick in its QWERTY keyboard, buttons layout and slide out screen. It also seems to have a slim form factor, which should help it compete with Apple's iPhone or the new Bl

iPhone developers beat Apple's NDA with $1 bills (8) share digg
on Digg / toplinks / today (92) 1 week, 3 days ago permalink
iPhone developers still bound by an Apple gag order are paying each other $1 to share coding tips. That way, if challenged by Apple's legal department, they can argue that they are subcontractors and therefore free to discuss the software.

35 Greatest Works of Reverse Graffiti [PICS] (2) share digg
on Digg (1708) 2 weeks ago permalink
Welcome to the world of reverse graffiti, where the artist’s weapons are cleaning materials and where the enemy is the elements: wind, rain, pollution and decay. It’s an art form that removes dust or dirt rather than adding paint.

on Digg (1708) 2 weeks, 4 days ago permalink
Optimization isn’t just minimizing file size — it’s also about being organized, clutter-free, and efficient. You’ll find that the more knowledge you have about optimal CSS practices, smaller file size will inevitably come as an direct result of their implementation.

Build Better Pages With Firebug - Webmonkey (51) share digg
by Adam DuVander (15) on Wired Top Stories (1375) 3 weeks, 3 days ago permalink
On the surface, the Firebug extension for the Firefox browser is a simple page inspector. But lift the the hood and you'll find a powerful code debugger and a variety of site-testing tools. Best of all, Firebug is just as extensible as the browser it plugs in to. Web developers can start cleaning up their code by following Webmonkey's introductory guide to all things Firebug.

Price Of Gas Rises To Four Expletives Per Gallon (1) share digg
1 month ago permalink
Gasoline prices rose to a record-high four expletives per gallon Monday, a rate of fuel-price-related cursing not seen since the 1979 energy crisis sparked a nationwide obscenity boom

- Chris said: Profanity in the article from the Onion... My guess is that nothing major is going to happen to gas prices. I think the oil interests are so smart to drive up the price so people freak out & then back it down so it doesn't seem as bad - while it is still ridiculously high. The minor drop in prices seems to mitigate the freak out (whew...we're out of the $4 range) which I thought might actually trigger something getting done with alternative energy. Starting to think that nothing is really going to change.
