Awhile ago I wrote an article that covered various ways you can <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/cybernotes-laptop-battery-status/" target="_blank">monitor the remaining battery life</a> of your laptop, but I was starting to wonder what kind of apps developers had come up with for Windows 7 users. Interestingly enough on that same article a commenter, Chris, <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/cybernotes-laptop-battery-status/comment-page-1/#comment-149398" target="_blank">talked about</a> a nice free app called <a href="http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar" target="_blank">BatteryBar</a> that did everything I was looking for.</p>
<p>BatteryBar works on various versions of Windows, but my focus was on Windows 7 since that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m using at the moment. The Taskbar icon is both compact and informative, and even more details can be revealed if you click on the icon. After you&#8217;ve used the app for a while it will also be able to tell you exactly how many minutes you have left before you&#8217;re battery is fully drained, but I hadn&#8217;t been using it long enough to see that calculation at the time I took the screenshot.</p>
<p>If you really like BatteryBar you can always take a look at the &#8220;Pro&#8221; version that offers some additional features, including themes and the ability to quickly switch between power profiles (on Vista/Windows 7). How much does it cost? Between $1 and $10&#8230; basically whatever you feel the app is worth, but the &#8220;lifetime&#8221; license starts at $6. You can always tinker around with the 30-day trial if you want to play with the customizability and preferences that are only available in BatteryBar Pro:</p>

I am a big fan of the redesigned Taskbar in Windows 7 because it provides faster access to the things I want/need, and one of the ways it does that is through the jumplists that appear whenever you right-click on an icon regardless of whether the app is actually running. With jumplists you get a customized context menu for each application, and developers can work to ensure that the things you&#8217;ll use the most are no more than a click away.</p>
<p>Something as simple as jumplists can have a wide variety of uses, and <a href="http://en.www.ali.dj/jumplist-launcher/" target="_blank">Jumplist Launcher</a> is a great example of that. All it does is sit in your taskbar, and whenever you right-click on the icon you&#8217;ll see a list of shortcuts that you&#8217;ve decided to put in there. These can be shortcuts to apps, files, or folders, and you can break them out into sections so that they are nicely organized.</p>
<p>The idea behind this program is simple, and I think the developer executed on it perfectly. You can have up to 60 items in your jumplist, shortcuts can be added by dragging them into the Jumplist Launcher interface, and you can change the name and/or icon of each shortcut. Simple, intuitive, and did I mention portable? That&#8217;s right, there&#8217;s nothing to install. Excellent app!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/warehouse-deals.png" width="585" height="201" alt="warehouse deals.png" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure many of you have bought at least one thing from Amazon, and some of you are probably frequent shoppers. Maybe it&#8217;s their competitive pricing, the fact that you don&#8217;t get charged tax on the items you buy (for most states, at least), or maybe you fork over the $70 a year so that you get free 2nd shipping on most of your purchases.</p>
<p>What about an Amazon outlet store? What happens to all of those items that end up getting returned, which is inevitable considering the volume of their sales? <a href="http://www.warehousedeals.com/" target="_blank">WarehouseDeals.com</a> &#8211; that&#8217;s where Amazon sells (at a discounted price) the items that have been returned and verified in working order.</p>
<p>Are the deals really that good? As with any outlet the deals will vary based upon how well the item actually sells. The site makes the deal a little deceiving because they tell you what the list price of the item is, and then what the outlet is selling it for. They conveniently leave off the price that Amazon.com typically sells it at. I took a few random items to compare the pricing though:</p>
<ul>
<li>Samsung 32-inch LED TV &#8211; Amazon.com: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN32B6000-32-Inch-1080p-HDTV/dp/B00208JBJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1265205297&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">$969</a> vs. WarehouseDeals.com: <a href="http://www.warehousedeals.com/Samsung-UN32B6000-32Inch-1080p-120-Hz/M/B00208JBJQ.htm" target="_blank">$805</a> = 17% off</li>
<li>Panasonic Lumix Camera &#8211; Amazon.com: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-G1-Digital-3-5-5-6-Black/dp/B001FSKDWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1265205517&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">$639</a> vs. WarehouseDeals.com: <a href="http://www.warehousedeals.com/Panasonic-Lumix-DMCG1-12.1MP-Digital-SLR/M/B001FSKDWG.htm" target="_blank">$579</a> = 9% off</li>
<li>Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) &#8211; Amazon.com: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-Galaxy-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B000FQ9QVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=videogames&amp;qid=1265205806&amp;sr=8-1-catcorr" target="_blank">$46</a> vs. WarehouseDeals.com: <a href="http://www.warehousedeals.com/Super-Mario-Galaxy/M/B000FQ9QVI.htm" target="_blank">$34</a> = 27% off</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see the savings varies quite a bit depending on the item you&#8217;re looking to purchase, but in general it seemed as though 10% was the typical reduction. The nice thing is that they are good about telling you what condition the item is in, and obviously the worse the condition the cheaper the item is. All of the items I looked at, however, were in &#8220;very good&#8221; or &#8220;mint&#8221; condition. So be sure to check it out if you&#8217;re on the hunt for a good deal!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"><p>A little while back we wrote about a cool <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/snap-links-firefox-extensions-is-an-amazing-time-saver/" target="_blank">Firefox extension called Snap Links</a> that would let you draw a box around a bunch of hyperlinks with your mouse, and have them all open in new tabs. I loved this extension, but the sad news is that it hasn&#8217;t received an update in well over two years. As newer versions of Firefox were released it seemed as though the add-on would only sporadically work (at least for me), and so began the hunt for a comparable extension.</p>
<p>I went looking around to see if someone had created an updated version of this add-on, and I found several. Only one, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13494" target="_blank">Multi Links</a>, was compatible with Firefox builds all the way up to the latest 3.7 nightly release&#8230; which was exactly what I wanted.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got Multi Links installed you&#8217;ll be able to draw boxes around hyperlinks and have them open up in new tabs:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/multi-links-google.png" width="553" height="343" alt="multi links google.png" style="border:1px #666666 solid;" /></p>
<p>If you decide to dive into the settings you&#8217;ll find a wide array of options that help make the add-on even more useful. In particular under the &#8220;Actions&#8221; tab you&#8217;ll be able to choose what you want done with the links you draw a box around. You can have them opened in new tabs, copy the URL&#8217;s to the clipboard, add them to your bookmarks, or initiate downloads:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i>(Click thumbnail to enlarge)</i><br />
<a href="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences.jpg" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences-tm.jpg" width="200" height="250" alt="Multi Links Preferences.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences-1.jpg" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences-1-tm.jpg" width="200" height="250" alt="Multi Links Preferences-1.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences-2.jpg" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Multi-Links-Preferences-2-tm.jpg" width="200" height="250" alt="Multi Links Preferences-2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>These are the kind of Firefox extensions I like to see. They focus on being able to do one thing, and do it <i>very</i> well. The customizability puts Multi Links over-the-top and makes this a must-have add-on for me. I highly recommend checking it out.</p>

<h3>&#8211;News&#8211;</h3>
<p class="newsitem"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="ipad.jpg" style="float:left; margin-right:5px;" /></span><a href="http://gizmodo.com/5457757/apple-ipad-first-hands-on" target="_blank">Apple iPad Hands-On Video</a></strong><br />
Last week Apple announced their new iPad device that will be available by the end of March 2010, and some people have had the chance to get hands-on time with it. The videos and demonstrations I&#8217;ve seen have left me rather unimpressed, but they say that it&#8217;s all about the experience you have when using it. The iPad is said to be fast, intuitive, and has a great form factor&#8230; and I&#8217;ll have to reserve my final judgement until I can actually try it out.</p>

<p class="newsitem"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/google-chrome.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="google chrome.jpg" style="float:left; margin-right:5px;" /></span><a href="http://chrome.blogspot.com/2010/01/over-1500-new-features-for-google.html" target="_blank">Google Chrome 4.0 Released for Windows</a></strong><br />
All Windows users can now enjoy the use of extensions and bookmark syncing in the Google Chrome browser. Early last week Google released Chrome 4.0 that included these milestone features, which Beta testers have been enjoying for quite some time. What may even more important is the fact that there&#8217;s a 42% performance improvement over the previous stable version, and a 400% improvement since Chrome 1.0.</p>

I&#8217;ve been using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus of choice for a little while now, but before that was available I was using (and strongly recommending) Avast. It has always been pretty light on resources, and the new version 5 is even better in that regard. Plus they are finally including heuristics, which means the software will be able to detect viruses that aren&#8217;t even included in the definitions list.</p>

All of your information is securely stored in an encrypted format, and is kept with Mozilla which should give you some peace of mind.</p>

In my eyes Google Reader just got a feature that definitely sets it apart from all other feed readers&#8230; it can watch any page for changes. All you have to do is tell Google what URL you want to monitor, and if there&#8217;s no RSS feed available it will automatically try to generate a feed that you can use to track changes.</p>

Firefox 3.6 isn&#8217;t too big of an overhaul, and so there isn&#8217;t a lot of earth-shattering tips that haven&#8217;t already been available for previous version. These are a few that you may want to check out though.</p>

<span style="font-style: normal;">Let&#8217;s face it: being a computer geek isn&#8217;t the healthiest hobby in the world. Staring at that bright screen for hours at a time will affect our health in many ways. But there are many things you can do to improve your health without having to stop using your computer altogether.</span></em></p>
<p><b>Time your breaks with Workrave (Windows/Linux) or AntiRSI (Mac)</b><br />
<a href="http://www.workrave.org/" target="_blank">Workrave</a> is a useful tool to keep track of how much time you spend on your computer. It nests itself in the taskbar and displays a countdown clock for your micro break, another one for your rest break and a third one for your daily time limit. I&#8217;ve configured my clocks as follows: a 20-second break every 15 minutes, a 3-minute break every 30 minutes and a daily limit of three hours.</p>
<p>Rather than using the daily limit timer as an actual maximum, I use it as a &#8220;guilt-free&#8221; time limit. I try not to go over it too much when possible. There are no scientifically recommended settings that work for everyone, but it is worth noting that it&#8217;s better to take smaller breaks more often than longer breaks less often. Workrave will also look at your mouse and keyboard activity to detect if you&#8217;re taking a break before Workrave even asked you to. Mac users might want to check out the Lifehacker article on a related program, <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/rsi/download-of-the-day-antirsi-mac-205859.php" target="_blank">AntiRSI</a>.</p>
<p><b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/exercise-stretch.png" width="250" height="249" alt="exercise stretch.png" style="float:right; margin-bottom:5px; margin-left:5px;" /></span>When on a break, do Workrave exercises</b><br />
Aside from being an <i>I-nag-because-I-care</i> mom that urges you to take breaks regularly, Workrave also displays illustrated exercises during your rest breaks. They&#8217;re not that intensive, but they will help prevent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_strain_injury" target="_blank">repetitive strain injury</a>.</p>
<p><b>Don&#8217;t forget to blink</b><br />
Research has shown that when we&#8217;re focusing on our computer screens, we blink <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/34219.php" target="_blank">a lot less</a> than usual. To avoid eye strain and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_eye" target="_blank">dry eye</a>, make sure you don&#8217;t forget to blink.</p>
<p><b>Adjust the refresh rate of your monitor</b><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> defines the refresh rate as the number of times in a second that display hardware draws the data. Simply put, the image on your screen needs to be refreshed at least 50 times per second or your monitor would flicker all the time. The higher the refresh rate of your screen is, the easier it gets for you to read a long paragraph. If you&#8217;re using a CRT monitor, the difference should be clear over the course of a few hours. Some people say that upping the refresh rate on an LCD monitor has little effect, but it&#8217;s certainly worth a shot if your monitor supports it.<br />
<i>Get OS-specific advice on changing the refresh rate for <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311403" target="_blank">Windows</a>, <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/cdb_syspref_disp.html" target="_blank">Mac</a> and <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804overview" target="_blank">GNOME on Linux</a> (scroll down to &#8216;Xorg 7.3&#8242;).</i></p>
<p><b>Mind the lighting</b><br />
It can sure be interesting to be able to look out the window while you&#8217;re typing, but it&#8217;s a no-no in ergonomics. Too much bright light can cause eye strain, but on the other hand having too little light isn&#8217;t that comfortable either. On a related note, you might want to play around with your monitor&#8217;s brightness and contrast to find settings that feel good.</p>
<p><b>Impose an absolute limit of 8 hours a day</b><br />
Our eyes and brains can only take so much. So unless your job makes this impossible you should limit your computer, game console and television usage to 8 hours a day.</p>
<p><b>Give e-ink technology a try</b><br />
Unlike with conventional monitors, the image on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_paper" target="_blank">electronic paper</a> does not need to be refreshed constantly.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"><p>A little while ago Mozilla decided that it would be better to change the way users are able to force extensions to work with any version of the Firefox, and that change has taken effect in the latest Firefox 3.6 release. If you glance through your extension list you may have found that some of your add-ons are disabled regardless of whether you once set the <i>about:config</i> preference called <i>extensions.checkCompatibility</i> to false. Going forward that setting will no longer be used.</p>
<p>The new solution is simple, but rather annoying for testers like myself. Users that are testing out pre-release versions of Firefox will notice that they have to repeat these steps at each stage of the development process (alpha, beta, release, etc&#8230;).</p>
<ol>
<li>In the address bar type: <b>about:config</b><br />
  <img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/firefox-about-config.png" width="337" height="242" alt="firefox about config.png" /></li>
<li>Right click anywhere on the page and select <b>New -&gt; Boolean</b><br />
  <img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/firefox-new-boolean.png" width="364" height="226" alt="firefox new boolean.png" style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px; border:1px #b3b3b3 solid;" /></li>
<li>The preference name you need to use depends on which version of Firefox you are running:<br />
  Firefox 3.6: <b>extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6</b><br />
  Firefox 3.7 Alpha: <b>extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7a</b><br />
  <img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/firefox-boolean-name.png" width="392" height="198" alt="firefox boolean name.png" style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px;" /></li>
<li>Choose a value of <b>false</b> to prevent the browser from checking whether the extensions you&#8217;re running are compatible with your version of Firefox.<br />
  <img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/firefox-boolean-false.png" width="332" height="187" alt="firefox boolean false.png" style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px;" /></li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of frustrating that there isn&#8217;t a universal setting for this, but it&#8217;s understandable. I&#8217;m sure some users enabled this setting at one point or another and forgot about it. Then every time they upgrade their browser that setting was carried forward, and eventually they could be running extensions that haven&#8217;t been updated in years and could possibly cause browser instability. Forcing you to update this value makes you more conscious about what incompatible add-ons you are running.</p>
<p>If this really gets to be a pain you always have the option of installing the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543" target="_blank">Nightly Tester Tools</a> extension that can take care of all this for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"><p><img src="http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/qnext.png" width="260" height="335" alt="qnext.png" style="float:right; margin-bottom:5px; margin-left:5px;" />For many of us instant messengers have become an important part of our daily lives, and in some cases IM&#8217;ing has begun to replace email communication. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m always on the lookout for the best messenger application, and for awhile I gave that crown to Digsby&#8230; that is until they started to use what I consider to be <a href="http://cybernetnews.com/would-you-still-recommend-digsby-to-someone/">shady practices</a> to infest computers with adware.</p>
<p>A friend at work introduced me to a new messenger application called <a href="http://www.qnext.com" target="_blank">Qnext</a>. I was instantly impressed that it was a cross-platform messenger (runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux), and works with all of the major networks including MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, Jabber, and Google Talk. The thing is that Qnext goes way beyond just being a messenger. It does all of the voice chat, video conferencing, photo sharing, and file transfers that you want from an app like this, but it is also able to grant remote access to your PC for one of your friends or even stream music from another computer that&#8217;s running Qnext. Sound cool? It is.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a rundown of what Qnext is capable of:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Universal Messenger</b> &#8211; Qnext is the world’s most advanced Universal Instant Messenger, allowing you to send and receive messages with buddies on all of the most popular networks.</li>
<li><b>Voice Chat</b> &#8211; Just get a microphone or a headset and you&#8217;re ready to host Voice Conferences with up to eight Qnext Friends. Qnext is cross-platform. This means, you guessed it, finally Mac, Windows, and Linux users can all jump on a Video or Voice call together!</li>
<li><b>Video Conferencing</b> &#8211; Just plug in a webcam and a headset, and you are ready to go! Since Qnext video and audio conferencing is completely integrated into your Qnext friends/ buddy list, initiating a video conference is straightforward and easy. All you do is select a user from your &#8216;friends&#8217; list and start a live video conference with right clicking on a Qnext contact and selecting Conference &gt; Video.</li>
<li><b>Photo Sharing</b> &#8211; Qnext Photo Sharing is the easiest way to share an unlimited amount of photos with anyone, even if they don’t have Qnext. Just choose your photos, choose your Audience and you’re done; your friends will receive a link that lets them view or download (with permission) your photos from any web browser. They can browse through thumbnails, zoom into photos, and run custom slideshows too!</li>
<li><b>File Transfer</b> &#8211; Qnext enables users to send or receive files from other Instant Messenger protocols including Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google Talk, Jabber, iChat, and ICQ. When you Transfer Files between Qnext users you can take a file (s) or folder (s) of any size from your computer and drag it onto a contact name. This initiates a secure P2P file transfer. A file can be 1 MB, 1GB, or your entire C drive!</li>
<li><b>File Sharing</b> &#8211; Qnext File Sharing is the easiest way to get those huge files where they need to go fast. Put an unlimited amount of files or folders of any size into a File Zone and select your Audience; your specified recipients will get a link in an Email or an Instant Message and be able to download any or all of your shared files at top speeds, from any web browser in the world!</li>
<li><b>Remote PC Access</b> &#8211; Qnext MyPC is a Remote Access and Application Sharing service included in Qnext. Basically, it lets you give yourself or anyone you specify access to your computer or specific applications from any standard web browser.</li>
<li><b>Music Streaming</b> &#8211; Qnext Music Streaming is the only way to listen to your entire music Library from anywhere in the world. Choose up to 700,000 songs and select your Audience; we will Streaming your tunes instantly to whoever you want. Whether you want to share with yourself or with your friends, this is the only way to stream your music to any web browser on the planet.</li>
</ul>
<p>The downside to a messenger like this? Well, it&#8217;s Java based which is something I&#8217;m typically not a huge fan of. Putting that aside the memory usage is rather high, and ranged from 90MB at startup to somewhere around 150MB after some normal usage. That&#8217;s a big number, but given the amount of memory available these days that may not be a concern for you. Netbook users, however, may need to be a bit more conscious with how much memory their applications are using.</p>
<p>Here are a bunch of screenshots from different areas of Qnext:</p>

<p>There is also an iPhone version of Qnext in the works that is working to bring many of these features right to your phone&#8230; including the streaming music capability from what I&#8217;ve read. The desktop version is free though, and can&#8217;t really hurt to give it a try.</p>

That&#8217;s typically when you&#8217;ll come across the free <a href="http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/">PC Decrapifier</a> program which can remove a lot of that junk, but what you might not realize is that it can bulk remove just about any app on your computer.</p>
<p>First off, one thing that&#8217;s nice is that PC Decrapifier is completely portable. There&#8217;s nothing you need to install to use it, which also makes it a handy tool to carry on a USB drive. Second, it has a simple interface that takes you step-by-step through the various options. After you use it you&#8217;ll quickly realize that its purpose in life is one thing: to remove programs.</p>
<p>Once you get it running the first few screens will make you think that the only thing it&#8217;s able to remove are the apps the utility is preconfigured to handle. That&#8217;s not actually true. It&#8217;s nice if PC Decrapifier is already set up to handle the removal of a particular app because that means it will make sure that all aspects of the program are successfully removed (files, registry keys, etc&#8230;), but it can be used beyond that.</p>
<p>When you get a little further into the wizard it will ask you if there are other programs on your computer that you&#8217;d like to &#8220;manually&#8221; remove (as seen in the screenshot above). You can check as many of them as you want, and when you continue on with PC Decrapifier it will run through the uninstallers back-to-back. Sure you still have to interact with some of the prompts, but generally this is way more convenient than going through and removing the programs one-by-one using the built-in Windows utility.</p>
<p>When I used this over Christmas for some netbooks that family members got it saved me both time and frustration. I was able to walk away from the computer and periodically stop back to hit a &#8220;continue&#8221; button. I wasn&#8217;t left constantly clicking to initiate the uninstallers, which was awesome. I know I&#8217;ll be going back to this app a lot more in the future.</p>

<p><a href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a> is well known to web developers as one of the best tools to have at your side when trying to debug website issues. Many have said that it&#8217;s a priceless tool, and at one point Joe Hewitt wasn&#8217;t sure if it would remain free. <a href="http://www.joehewitt.com/blog/introducing_fir.php" target="_blank">He questioned</a> whether users would be willing to shell out $15-$25 for an extension, but he strayed from the paid route in favor of keeping it open source.</p>
<p>Here we sit just days after the 4-year mark of the first public release, and this incredible extension has been downloaded well over 21 million times and has roughly 2.5 million people who start up a version of Firefox that is Firebug-equipped. With nearly 800 reviews this extension has an average 5-star rating, which is an incredible accomplishment no matter how you spin it.</p>
<p>The cherry on top is that Firebug 1.5 was released yesterday after about 6-months of development time. The <a href="http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Firebug_Release_Notes#Firebug_1.5" target="_blank">release notes</a> for this version are quite extensive, and you&#8217;ll quickly see that the update touches on just about every area that the extension covers. One of the more important things may be that Firebug 1.5 includes support for Firefox 3.6 that should be available sometime soon (possibly this week from what I&#8217;ve read). Here&#8217;s a quick rundown on the areas that have been improved upon:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mike Radcliffe’s Inspector. A key feature, now solid as a rock</li>
<li>Jan ‘Honza’ Odvarko’s expanded and refined Net panel, with accurate timings</li>
<li>Steve Roussey’s reworking of HTML editing and entity support</li>
<li>Kevin Decker’s CSS and Style side panel improvements</li>
<li>Support for dynamic, graphical breakpoints through out Firebug</li>
<li>Tested support for the soon-to-be-released Firefox 3.6</li>
</ul>
<p>If you use the add-on stop by and leave a quick review. It never hurts to say thanks for developing such an extensive and <i>free</i> add-on.</p>
