Comment on How to select a cell phone these days by Andy

Andy — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:43:12 +0000

Hello! Saw your comment on a PCWorld article thing and just wanted to say it’s nice to see some sound, impartial advice regarding purchasing a phone. Personally I’ve never spent more than £100 on a phone, it does what I need to and I get reception most places I go on the network I’m on. I get plenty of inclusive minutes and texts etc as I have a sim-only contract. I like the idea of Android as an OS, iPhones are a bit swanky for me (not affordable) but are certainly pretty and fun, blackberries have tiny buttons. I think most people are happy if they can make calls, send texts easily and maybe check facebook and emails.

This reply is long and I’m not sure where I’m going but thanks for the sensible blog entry here

Comment on Convenient backup for Google Gmail by Ryan

Ryan — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 04:42:52 +0000

I’ve seen Gmail Backup but I’m looking for something that’s free. I’ve seen other solutions like using Thunderbird to download “All Mail” but I’m not sure I like that solution either.

Is there any freeware alternative to Gmail Back or Gmail Archiver?

Comment on Firefox becoming the Swiss Army knife of software by moderator

I have not noticed FIrefox loading any slower on either Windows XP or Mac OS X with all my add-ons loaded. And I have more add-ons since writing this original story.

I’m sure there’s a small penalty for each item that gets loaded, and a check is done to see if there are new versions each time Firefox starts. But the delay is trivial compared to the benefits of having all these features in one place.

You did not mention that so many add-ons = one hour waiting to the browser to open.

Oooo, I have never seen Read It Later, that would be pretty handy.

I do a lot of web development, so my favorites are as follows:
Web Developer – gives another toolbar with handy things
FireFTP – ftp in your browser
Color Picker – can pick a color off any web page
Measure It – measure elements or spacing on any web page
StumbleUpon toolbar – for the good stuff
Linky – select a bunch of links, then right click and open them all in speerate tabs, good for reading forums quickly
Screen Grab – save the entire web page as an image, even below the fold
FireBug – HUGE timesaver for css issues.
