Personas for Firefox

Posted by MV as Reviews, Softwares

Mozilla Labs released a prototype extension for Firefox that lets you use different background on top of your currently existing theme.

E-book Reader Face-off

Posted by MV as Reviews, Technology

Java in Manila ‘06 Redux

Posted by MV as Insights, Reviews

Yesterday was Java in Manila 2006, the 3rd programmers conference organized by Sun Microsystems Philippines, Inc. It was fun and I believe that it is worth the money I spent. However, I have some disappointments. I’ll discuss it along the way. For now, I’m going to summarize what happened inside Rizal Ballroom, Makati Shangri La [...]
