Recent versions of Firefox have a much improved Browser Console (formerly known as the Error Console, and before that known as the JavaScript Console). It's like a browser-wide version of the per-page Web Console that showed up about a

What about virtualization? Previously, one would only be allowed virtualize OS X if they purchased a copy (you can't virtualize the copy that came with the computer). Since it sounds like that's no longer an option, do I get virtu

Have you tried Toshiba hard disks? I replaced my laptop hard disk several years ago with a Toshiba that was fast, quiet, inexpensive, and reliable. More recently, after my network-storage USB Western Digital issued an error once or twice, I

It isn't great. But many libraries have rolled out a new version of Overdrive that's noticably better (even if it's the same implemention, it's at least less confusing). For example, NYPL New York doesn't have it ye
