walkie-talkieSearch engines. Most of us think Google is pretty much it. True Knowledge has proven us wrong: check out the video, it looks pretty promising !

Very social too, because everyone can contribute to the knowledge base. The assumption being that most people will contribute, and in good faith. Remains to be seen …

Walkie Talkie on the net: Loudtalks. I’m trying to see how this would be better than the usual VOIP solutions, but i must admit i don’t (via Peter Van Dijck).

Lifehacker has a look at Firefox 3.0. On my desktops (Linux and Windows) Firefox 2(.0.0.8) is getting more and more unstable: it crashes on a regular basis. What’s your impression ?

  1. Plugins tend to destabilize Firefox, in my experience.

    But Windows? What is that?

    2.0.0.8 introduced a number of regressions which should be fixed with 2.0.0.9 which was released recently. and indeed, disable as many plugins as possible, check out this page for more info on misbehaving extensions: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

    @Serge: Windows: holes in walls. And something else, but i forgot.

    @futtta: thanks for the link !

    same impression here, especially disappointing on Ubuntu recently.
    should upgrade to 2.0.0.9 and hope that will fix e.g. the firebug extention
