space the final frontierYesterday was a Good Day,Today is a Better Day, Tomorrow will be unknown MediaFox: A Firefox Build with Media on the Mind
Lifehacker reader Andrew Royce decided to stop paying for cable service and start using the web to get his television fix. He wanted a way to centralize his media experience and make the interface less like staring at his web browser and more like using a polished media client. Using a copy of Firefox Portable from PortableApps as his framework he dialed down the brightness and customized the appearance of Firefox with the Pitchdark theme. From there he added in various extensions to make his viewing more enjoyable like Autohide, which adds the handy fullscreen button to the toolbar, and FoxyTunes for controlling his music. Next to the button for Autohide is a quick launch button for Cooliris which displays videos and pictures in a cool cover-flow style scrolling wall. Andrew also tweaked Firefox to not launch common media formats in a separate player, but to keep everything within Firefox itself for a more streamline experience. Finally to actually keep track of all his favorite shows and media he created a custom bookmarks toolbar with links to the different television networks and their most popular shows. Check out the photos below for screenshots and closeups of his tweaks.
While all the pieces of Andrew's modification are publicly available and you could recreate the build with a few minutes of tinkering, he was courteous enough to create a virgin build with all the modifications ready for you to enjoy. Below is the a link to the build at Dropbox. If you have your own awesome tweaks or tricks for making internet-based media more enjoyable, sound off in the comments below. Thanks for sharing Andrew!
3/12/2009 Chuck Norris claims thousands of right wing cell groups exist and will rebel against U.S. government Source: Examiner
The call by some right wing leaders for rebellion and for the military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by Chuck Norris who claims that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are ready for a second American Revolution. During an appearance on the Glen Beck radio show he promised that if things get any worse from his point of view he may “run for president of Texas.” The martial artist/actor/activist claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place and that if rebellion is to come through secession Texas would lead the way.
Today in his syndicated column on WorldNetDaily Norris reiterates the point: “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
He continues; calling on a second American Revolution; “…we've bastardized the First Amendment, reinterpreted America's religious history and secularized our society until we ooze skepticism and circumvent religion on every level of public and private life.
How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution? We the people have the authority according to America's Declaration of Independence, which states: That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Norris claims that; “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.” The right wing cells will meet during a live telecast, "We Surround Them," on Friday March 13 at 5 p.m.
He closes with the words of Sam Houston followed by a plug for his next martial arts event.
“We view ourselves on the eve of battle."
(Note: Speaking of showdowns, Chuck is also inviting anyone near the Houston area this weekend to see a good example of the raw Texas fighting spirit by joining him and others for the national martial arts event, "Showdown in H-Town.")“ |
