Can't do this... Need an extension...

Extensions are probably the main reason I'm using Firefox primarily as my browser....

You can customize almost any functionality to the browser, and add cool features...

Current useful extensions I use:

CustomizeGoogle - This allows google customisation such as adding results to other search engines on the google webpage, turn on google word suggestions, rewrite links to point straight to images in google image search, remove ads, and other additional features for google.

AdBlock Plus - allows blocking ads on webpages.

Stop Autoplay - This is really useful as it stops any embeded video/audio from playing automatically when u open a webpage. U know how many times u get annoyed when u click a link to a page and a video just starts playing (eg. the stupid police vid i posted a while ago)... This extension is a great fix...

Download Helper - any embedded flash video can be ripped from a site with this tool, and you can customize it to use your own download manager.

Drag de Go - You can highlight a word to drag it to your built in google search box or address bar and other cool things... for eg. someone typed a web address that isn't clickable, instead of copying and pasting, u can drag the address to address bar...

IETab - A webpage only works in IE? dont want to open a new browser? with IETab u can view the current webpage in IE right in the firefox browser with a single click... and only that page and links clicked on it is in IE, the rest of your tabs will still be FF...

Tab Mix Plus - Added functionality to tabbed browsing....

Stumbleupon - Awesome fun tool that kinda works like digg and del.ici.ous.... U create an account where u specify your interested topics and u click the stumble button to get a random page on your topics, and just click "i like it" or "i dont like it"... It works as a social webpage rating and bookmarking tool.

There are a bunch others geared towards web developers, and some widget like extensions... Overall alot of added functionalities that makes browsing the web a blast...

Who doesn't like free?

Free useful softwares that rival commercial ones... Come are even better...

PC Mag's Best Free Softwares

The common kings included: Firefox, itunes, Winamp, Thunderbird, Skype, Audacity...

Some maybe less popular yet very useful:

ccleaner... cleans up computer from junk including old backups, temporary internet files etc

Windows Live Writer... blogging tool im using... Feature I like most is being able to write posts with my actual blog layout in the background... so its instant preview as I write... i.e WYSIWYG

Gotta Digg ppl

Btw... its been awhile since I caught up with the latest diggnation episodes, and I haven't been digging enough at digg.com lately...

I have a few epis downloaded and ready to watch...

For those not familiar with digg.com, its a social news website where user submits the stories and other users "digg" (vote) them up to the front page...

Diggnation is a podcast show that talks about the top stories on digg.com that week, and hosted by Techtv's favourite Kevin Rose, and funny dude Alex Albrecht... These two can be hilarious in a casual laid back way... but they do keep up with the latest tech trends... And Kevin is a mac fan while Alex roots for Microsoft... healthy rivalry I tell ya...

So to encourage me to catch up with things...

Fifah, Nurul, Dani... Sing out loud sing it proud shall we... 

Btw this singer Kina Grinnis won the Doritos' Crash the Super Bowl Contest and got her vid played masa the superbowl commercial... not this vid though ehehe...

Untapped Intelligence Entertainment

I have a feeling people still are not familiar with podcasts.... I think they are a valuable media...

I would describe podcasts as radio or talkshows... They are free, and easily subscribed to from itunes... Podcasts are hidden gems because nowadays high quality production can easily be found and ranges in topics.... Video podcasts have also emerged dominantly on the web which rivals the TV shows in content...

For example for fitness enthusiasts, The Fitcast will be an excellent subscription... The host talks about up to date news in the world of fitness and includes world class strength conditioning guests, being a weekly episode...

In the tech world, you have a massive choice, wether your interest is on photoshop or web news, to gadgets and web entertainment... I have been a fan of techtv back when they were on in Astro...

Right now we have Revision3, a company producing our favourite Diggnation podcast featuring the funny Kevin and Alex, Techzilla podcast, Systm and many others.... TWiT.tv is Leo Laporte(from Techtv)'s network of podcasts with my favourites being TWiT and Net@Night...

You also have the daily web news video podcasts, such as CommandN, Mahalo Daily and tons others.

Those who likes celebrity news? WireImage Entertainment Report has the E! entertainment network feel to it... Access Hollywood has the behind the curtain style show and podcasts to dedicated shows can also be found such as the Lost podcast...

Search for them in itunes and subscribe to the ones u like... They are a good source of extra knowledge and entertainment...

How to make grown (gym) man cry

I was reading around about very simple recovery methods that helps keep muscles in optimal order...

1)Eat well - riiiiigghttt....

2)Sleep 8-10 hrs a day - almost impossible in this f'd up world right now...

3)Self-myofascial release -  Now thats what we're talking about!!! something that sounds smart...

aka Foam rolling. So I went ahead and shelled a couple of bucks for the equipment... WOW!!! Men can squat their own bodyweight but the sight of this blue tube can make them shiver with fear...

Simply put this is the poor man's massage therapy where you just roll on it over "hot spots" to unknot the muscles... And it hurts like crap!!!!

Wanna see how this thing works? Go to jobe's miniblog and ill post a vid of an instructional to use it...

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?
