EPIC 2014

A fake media history from the future: http://idorosen.com/mirrors/robinsloan.com/epic/

It runs about five minutes. The invented histories and news presentation technologies in the 2008-2014 time span are interesting and plausible.

Firefox 3 Autocompletion

Just sent this to the geeks list:

Note: FF3 is at RC3, now, and I’ve had almost no crashing issues since RC2. The autocompletion continues to get more useful as I think of new ways to use it. For example:

  • Typing in the numerical address of any place I’ve visited in Google maps (e.g. “555″) brings up the map for that location.
  • Typing a search term that I’ve used before brings up a list of all Google queries that I’ve made containing that search term.
  • Typing words in subject lines of Gmail messages I’ve viewed also brings those up.

P.S. I’m seriously concerned at this point that if I lost access to Google, I’d end up blind, deaf, and dumb, mumbling in some alleyway God-knows-where.
