Have we had this already? Or did I miss the memo?

userstyles.org

"userstyles.org is a collection of styles that puts you in control of the appearance of websites and of Mozilla applications. These styles can remove annoying parts of websites, change the colour scheme, streamline your browser, and much more."

You just install the Stylish add-on for Firefox/Flock/Thunderbird, then away you go.

You can either point it at a url or upload the file, choose the file format you want and it will convert it and e-mail it to you. It even works out that if you point it at the page of a movie on youtube you want the movie converted not the page.

Scribd

Scribd is a really easy way to share documents. You can literally, without logging in or setting up an account, point it at a folder and it will suck up all of your documents and turn them into web readable format so that everyone can read all of your private stuff.

Ctl-Alt-Whatnow?

A brief bit from David Bradley who was the inventor of Ctl-Alt-Delete, he's on this panel here with Bill Gates and he accidentally slams Bill Gates - okay maybe not that accidentally.

This looks like a really interesting show, I wonder if there's a full version anywhere. The guy to the left of David Bradley, with the beard, is Dan Bricklin who invented the spreadsheet. So a very interesting group.

Live Image Search

Okay, so I thought the coolest thing about Live Image Search was that it let you scale the picture so you could zoom back, but no the coolest thing is that it now provides you with a never ending page when you search, so that you just keep scrolling down past images until you find one. No more clicking! Really clever.

Download of the Day: Google AutoPager (Greasemonkey) - Lifehacker

Google AutoPager (Greasemonkey) - Lifehacker

"Typically, when you get to the bottom of a search page, you have to click Next to view the next batch of results. Not so with AutoPager: It fetches and appends the next batch as you scroll down, creating the illusion of infinite scrolling. Obviously you could just increase the number of results that appear when you search, but that makes for longer load times. AutoPager retrieves extra results a page at a time, as needed. Great little script; works like a charm."
