Aza Raskin envisions new log-on system for Firefox
Over in his personal blog, Aza Raskin ponders the question of identity. And I don't mean the philosophical or gender sense of the word here; what he says is quite interesting: When you Google the words "sign in", you get about 1.8 billion hits.

Talk about your Photoshop disasters! Gaspar Llamazares, a member of Spanish parliament, discovered that his hair and some his facial features had been used by the FBI in a new Most Wanted poster of the world's most notorious terrorist, Osama Bin Laden. The FBI claims to have used "cutting-edge" technology to create the image, depicting what Bin Laden probably looks like today. In that case, Adobe ...

Mozilla drummed up a fair amount of interest in a future version of the Firefox web browser a few weeks ago by posting a mockup photo showing a handful of new features that could be included in Firefox 3.7.

Firefox 3.5 is still warm, but those crazy kids at Mozilla are already working on future versions of the browser. This weekend the team posted an image on the Mozilla wiki showing a mockup of 3 new potential features for the Windows version Firefox 3.7:
Toolbar and tabs using Windows Vista and Windows 7's Aero Glass effects, including glossy, translucent buttons
Page button on the left ...
The people behind the Firefox web browser have been thinking long and hard about the way it handles browser tabs for a few months now. Most of the discussion has centered around how new tabs should behave. Should they show a blank screen? RSS updates? A list of frequently visited pages? But one developer has a novel idea: what if Firefox didn't have any tabs at all? Yeah, I know what you're ...
