Firefox 3 is only what I use for a web browser.  Its Safe, Fast, Options, and Can add almost any kind of plugin/addon there is.  I totally recommend it. Make sure you go download yours today.  I wanted to share the addons I use with Firefox.  Below are 5 addons that I use and are a must! If you haven’t already please download the latest version of Firefox, It will make a difference!

Adblock Plus 1.0

I totally love this addon! Do you get sick of those stupid ads on any website, especially the ones that flash and click here to win a laptop or something? I get sick of those all the time as well!  So I heard about Adblock Plus a few years ago and I have been using it ever since.  If theirs a ad that Adblock plus don’t have in the updated subscription, you can just right clock on the ad and choose " Adblock Image" and that image will not longer be displayed ever again, Unless they change the ad then you will have to add the ad to the adblock filter.  But this had made my life so much more easier!  Thanks to AdBlock Plus!

Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic

Getting Sick of taking a screenshot of a web page and then going to paint and cropping out what you don’t need?  Well with Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic lets you take a screen shot of the whole web page and that sit,  No windows task bar or Firefox browser in the way, just the webpage from top to bottom, you can also have it take a screen shot specific area of the website.  This is very handy and I use it a lot, when you take a picture of the website you hear a camera “cha ching” and it saves it to your desktop in a .PNG or .JPG format.  There are also a free version (basic) and a pro version ($15).  If your taking a ton of Screenshots of website, I just suggest to get the pro version cause then you can upload it directly to a FTP server, So It can save some time.  Other than that the Basic version is perfect!  Its an awesome Addon!

I came across this video on Youtube the other day:

I was at Best buy the other day with my family after we ate at a restaurant, I didn’t even plan on buying thing, well my dad wanted to get some DVD movies.  Anyways I was just looking at some games and I just remembered that I wanted to try out Battlefield 2, so I looked for it and I saw it for $9.99, I was like hey! that’s not bad.  So I bought it and I was really surprised how good the quality and how fun overall the game is.  Its totally one of my favorite games to play now, next to Test Drive Unlimited that is.

I really like how the Bots act, because they are actually SMART! there not so dumb as in Battlefield Vietnam where they don’t do a damn thing and In order to win I have to kill them all.  Its stupid. But in Battlefield 2, you can actually have fun and kick the other teams asses.

You can be the Commander, Squad Leader, Squad Member, Or Solo.  I have tried being the Commander but its really hard unless you are playing with real people, other than that I just let the computer be the commander much more easier and you get to have a ton more fun.  So I prefer to be the Squad leader of the Alpha team, it really doesn’t matter what team you are on. But you have awesome guns and they really sound real, well much more real than any other war games I have played.  The cars in the game are really realistic, they shift gears and they go a lot more faster than the ones in Battlefield vietnam.

The International Consumer Electronics Show kicks off next week, and premature product news releases and apparent leaks have already been rolling in. Attendance will be down 8 percent to 131,000 visitors this year, according to Gary Shapiro. And floor space devoted to exhibitor booths will also be down slightly, to 1.7 million square feet, from 1.8 million in 2008.

Expect Sharp, Samsung, Hitachi, and Toshiba to compete for thinnest LCD, and a few will try with plasma as well. For home video, there will be many more products this year that take advantage of Internet connections in the home. Like we’ve already seen with several Netflix-enabled Blu-ray players and set-top boxes, and Web-connected TVs from Sony and Panasonic, even more devices will jump on that bandwagon this year. LG announced Tuesday it will bring CinemaNow and YouTube videos to its Blu-ray box.

There have already been many apparent leaks regarding what PC makers will reportedly bring to Vegas: a new line of ultrathin laptops from Dell, a new HP/Voodoo combo gaming desktop, and a Lenovo workstation with an extra screen. The Netbook craze is in full swing, so anticipate more models and new takes on the form factor.

Everyone likes Firefox right? Well I certainly do and you may have notice that there was a recent update this week o 3.0.5 This is an really important update and you should download it and let firefox update it as soon as possible.

Internet Explorer is apparently not the only browser this week that’s the subject of preventative measures, as Mozilla revealed this morning that the real reason for issuing Firefox 3.0.5 was to prevent a possible wave of page hijacks.

While version 3.0.5 of Mozilla’s Firefox browser was, for the most part, perceived as a bug fix, security bulletins released this morning by the organization warn that the update addresses new vulnerabilities that are awaiting official classification. Two of those cases involve violations of the company’s same-origin policy, in which any script being run by a site or attachment sent by a site must derive from the same DNS address as the source page that refers to it.

It’s this policy that’s designed to prevent hijacking of a site by a malicious impostor. This morning, Mozilla is crediting one of its most prolific bug finders through the years — who only identifies himself/herself as moz_bug_r_a4 — for locating the flaws.

Well I Updating my Erwin-Photography.com website. I figured out how to set up a decent gallery, its pretty cool, it pre-loads the images so it doesn’t take that long to load the image, which I think is awesome. As well there are labeled by Nature, cars, sunsets, etc. Please be pateint I will be uploading more images very soon, Its just that I have so many photos it just takes a little while to upload.

The Forums, I know I have done anything with the forum yet, but I haven’t found a good enough theme yet.   But I plan on making it a simple place for photographers to talk about cameras or photographs, may also provide tips, tricks and support to other photographers.  there may not be many topics but It might be cool.

If anyone has any ideas on what I should do, please give me some ideas, I’m listening

Well I don’t know if everyone heard that tonight is when the moon is closest to the earth in like 15 years or something.  I mean your eyes can’t really tell but it is totally closer like 30,000-60,000km closer.

I was going to take a photo of the moon with my camera but I have been having some problems with the camera and is hoping to get it sent back to Sony and either get it fixed or get a replacement.

But its a brand new camera. I took pictures of the moon before and they came out find but that was before my camera started to malfunction.

I hope once again someday I can start taking a photo! But that will have to wait until I get my camera back from Sony.

My great friend wrote this very cool article about LED lights and I wanted to share a little with everyone and see what you think. Cause everyone loves LEDs rather if its computer geeks or people who go overboard on christmas decorations.

I did some search on the net to find the new Ubuntu 8.10 wallpaper and I would like to share it with you all.
