Firefox Sync: Take Your Browser Everywhere

Mozilla has just rebranded their Weave add-on as Firefox Sync, and I've been using it for the past few weeks. This is exactly what I've been waiting for: the ability to continue my Firefox session from one place to another without losing context.

The Browser Sync Problem

How many times have you left your computer at work running or hibernated because you had dozens of important tabs open and couldn't bear to lose them? Or needed to access a password you'd saved at home while you were traveling? Or wished you could see your work browsing history when you got home?

Urban Terror: A Free FPS for Linux Gamers

Urban Terror is one great game that deserves more attention. As someone who recently tried it, I'm impressed by what the FrozenSand team has accomplished with this free, open-source first-person shooter.

What is Urban Terror?

Urban Terror is a free tactical shooter built on the Quake III Arena engine, released under the GPL license. It's a standalone game that doesn't require Quake III to play, and it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Think of it as a middle ground between Counter-Strike's tactical gameplay and Quake's fast-paced action.
