    Useful Firefox Extensions for Browsing Safe

    Quick Gage: Apple iPod classic 120GB

    The iPod isn't an unknown product, but I happen to be a new owner of the 120GB classic, so I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at things from a fresh perspective, since I've spent next-to-no time ever with an iPod before. The classic lacks a few features of other iPod models, but if...

    TV sets falling on kids...

    Saw this story over at Daily Tech about how there's an increasing number of kids who get hurt from TVs that fall right off the stand.
