well, within a couple of days of each other, Micro$oft and Mozilla foundation released the newest versions of their browsers, Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0... the browser wars return with a vengeance. i, of course, recommend installing firefox2.

quite a bit, actually... there's an auto-complete "suggestions" drop-down in the search bar that gives you suggestions on finishing what you're searching for... for example, if i start to type "eps" in the search bar, it will drop down with suggestions like "epson", "epson printers" and "epson.com" and so on...

there's also a passive spell checker on all form fields, such that you would find in a forum... just like thunderbird, it underlines words it doesn't like/recognize. pretty sweet!

while IE7 is a vast improvement over IE6, that's like saying rob liefeld's artwork today is a vast improvement over his work in the 90's, basically saying that IE still sucks.

I'll have to download it at home, especially with the spell check.

We use IE at work, and I deal with it. I'm not sure if we can upgrade or not.

Ok, Firefox rocks. We all know that. I've been messing with add-ons. AdBlock Plus is a handy. It pretty much blocks all ads. When I go to the other site, and none of the banner ads show up. It also takes out those stupid flash ads that pop up.

I just downloaded another add-on called PicLens. If you do image searches on yahoo or other things, it's pretty cool. Not quite as a "necessity" as ABP, but just a cool thing to have.

PicLens instantly transforms your browser into a full-screen 3D experience for viewing images across the web. Our new interactive "3D Wall" lets you effortlessly drag, click, and zoom your way around a wall of pictures for an extraordinary viewing experience. The new search box lets you search the Web in full-screen using Google, Yahoo, SmugMug, Flickr, Photobucket, and DeviantArt. Just type a query and view all the results in the PicLens wall.

"Visually, the results are stunning. This Firefox plugin is going to find a lot of fans very, very quickly." - Review on Techcrunch.com

" Coolest Web photo viewer ever . . . It's stunning." -- Review by CNET

Piclens is currently works on:

* Flickr, Smugmug, DeviantArt, Photobucket, Picasa
* Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster
* Image search on Google, Yahoo, Ask, Live, and AOL
* A growing number of Media RSS-enabled web sites

With PicLens, viewing images on the web will never be the same again.
