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.

Freedom

Orange posted about Freedom, a Mac app that disables your network connection for some number of minutes.

Unfortunately, I need the network to do a lot of my work (even going to localhost on your machine will be disabled) but this could be useful if I needed to write something.
