When I was a kid, I always had a digital watch of some sort or another. Part of me still wants this watch, but alas, I’m just not that geeky. Oh well.
Time for a new watch?

Firefox 3.0beta2
Firefox 3.0beta2 has just been released, and first impression, and a first impression, it’s pretty sweet. Substantially faster, although the available extensions aren’t quite up to spec yet.
AdBlock works, that’s a must-have. Open Long Url 0.2.3 and Auto Copy 0.6.4 are both surprisingly minor things, but I miss them more then I’d have expected.
Web Developer 1.1.4 is tough to live without, but that developer doesn’t release prior to public release, so I’ll just have to live without it, at least for now.
All in all, if you’re willing to risk a beta, I’d highly recommend it. Grab yourself a copy of Password Exporter 1.0.6 to export your saved passwords, and save your bookmarks.html file too, of course.
Have I unlocked the iPod Touch?
Well, in short, no.
It’s a nice idea, except that I haven’t actually seen anything useful I’d actually want to do on it once I hax0red it.
Give me a decent eBook reader, turn it into a USB drive, give me a decent Tasks list that synchronizes with Outlook. Heck, even better, give me a SyncML client to sync the PIM features against my server directly, and I’ll be all over it.
Until there is a practical reason to unlock it, why bother? Take this as a challenge, someone show me an app cool enough to add a ton of hassle to any future warranty claim.
