“The MIT guy did not like this solution because it was not the right thing.”
Why I'm Pining for PDF Support in Firefox/Gecko
What I'd like to do is run Firefox/Gecko on the server. It would load up the report, render it with the print stylesheet and then output the PDF. The concept is not unlike khtml2png or webkit2png but instead of outputting a raster image, it would output a PDF: gecko2pdf, if you will.
Bug 389508 – Implement Cross-site XMLHttpRequest
Just landed on mozilla trunk a few days ago. See the draft spec for specifics.
Why Ogg Matters

The Five Best Firebug Extensions
Awesome. I didn’t even know there were such things as Firebug Extensions.

Modern Firefox Theme That Looks Like Netscape 3.0 Running On Windows 3.1
This is pretty funny. Even the options dialogs are themed.
The problem with pixels
“… anybody who’s ever built out a relatively complex design using ems will agree that at some point they wondered if the benefit was really worth the effort.”
Prism Prototype Now Available on Mac and Linux
That was quick. IMO, the Mac needs this application more than other platform’s (including Windows) because of its document oriented application switching.

Can't save in Google Docs? Disable Firebug!
Grrrrr. This has been driving me crazy for almost two weeks. I don’t understand why the main google search doesn’t include google groups – I thought the whole point was to put everything behind a single search box. Bha.
