Joseph Pearson of Make Believe has coded a topographic page layout bookmarklet that shows the layout of a webpage. Basically, it recolors the elements of a webpage, giving more deeply nested elements a lighter color. The effect is that you can see the "topography" of a webpage, which makes it that much easier to detect unclosed divs or for those...

Now this is nice stuff here. SpyMac, a community for Mac users (as its name would suggest), is offering "the Internet's first free Gigabyte email service". Of course, Google was theoretically first by running beta trials with Gmail, but pretty much SpyMac is the first to roll out such an offer to the world at large. Spymac agrees with the staff at...

Ugh more referrer spam innovation. Check out these sites [1] [2]. Notice this bit over at both sites, where there is a link back to this website: If your just looking to relax take a look here. It's a good site and recommended. Just a hyperlink pointing to the referrer, so it seems an innocuous enough (and legitimate) backlink. What's more, the...

Wrapping up my final year of study at NUS pretty soon - final thesis defence/presentation on Monday, last examination paper on April 16. Getting a job has always been there on my mind but I never really bothered about it and have been somewhat noncomittal in looking. Well, I did apply to several companies, went to 2 tests, but no interviews yet...

If you haven't yet heard of it, Google's upcoming e-mail service, Gmail, has been under contention for one of the biggest April Fool's jokes ever. People all over have either first believed it (reservedly) and then laughed it off when they saw the press release on April 1st (like good old Simon Willison, or were thoroughly suspicious and wary of...

Looking at the recent checkins to the Firefox source tree, you can see that Ben Goodger has checked in the initial files for the upcoming Extension Manager (see bug 170006). The Extension Manager aims to provide for extension uninstallation (currently, you can only disable via the UI - you can, however, remove extensions manually), extension...

Dogtoe reports that Google's new look is official. Previously you could get the new look with a bookmarklet. I also came across this Personalized Web Search at Google Labs which I think is new (could someone confirm?). You can specify a profile (which is saved in a cookie), search for something, and move a slider to increase or decrease the degree...

allen has an excellent and constructive evaluation on the usability of the default Thunderbird theme (Qute) icons in this thread at MozillaZine forums. Interestingly enough, I've used Thunderbird since before the current default theme was instituted and never noticed the usability flaws of some of the icons before I read allen's post. I tend to...

Flexer recently posted his encounter with a website that tried to get him to install a malicious XPI (Firefox extension). Upon the user clicking "Install", the install.js (the script that performs the actual installation) tries to execute the contained executable, which is xxxtoolbar, as Paradox52525 reports. Here's a snippet of the code in the...
