I’ve been talking about the whole Circuit City business, and how they’re going out of business. They are in fact going out of business, if you’ve had the time to check their website, www.circuitcity.com, they have the PR release and such. But anyways now continuing the draft, so that I could actually go to there and see what was going on, first of all the lines were Black Friday all over again and the sale prices are not even worth the effort of standing in the line. Some example sale prices are, 10% off all video games, 30% off cables, at most it’s 30% off of certain items (a nice big sign telling you that when you walk in the doors). In my opinion you can get the same thing, just as cheap from Amazon or even Steam (for video games). I’m sure that the prices will go down, but most companies will make the announcement that they are indeed going under, take a couple dollars off a product (still selling at msrp) and then eventually lowering the price; they still have to pay off the creditors! I do welcome your comments, I would like to hear what other people think!

I’ve been having a couple friends asking me what I’ve been using for firefox a lot lately, so here are to the tools that help me get more done.

TwitterFox- Notifies you of your friends updates, also allows you to update directly from Firefox.

Foxmarks- Foxmarks Sync’s all of my bookmarks on all installations of firefox on all of my computers.

Flagfox- Tells me where the current website I’m viewing, where there web server is located; also including the ip address of the server(s).

Firebug- A great tool for both web designers and web developers, helping you to inspect and edit html and css files, debug javascript, and monitor network and file usage; including loading times!

FirePHP- A great firefox extension to debug ajax, using a php call function.

Google Gears- Google Gears allows you to let normal web applications operate offline in a desktop environment. Its a great application for WordPress installations, Google Docs, and Myspace (If you still use it).

Prism- Prism is a great firefox addon for making websites launch as a normal application on your desktop. This addon will work with any website, twitter, facebook, google. Check it out for yourself!

Know any other good addons please post a comment and let me know!
