I just noticed:
Google Groups has finally listened to our pleas, and made their button, that appears below each post, automatically quote the message being replied to. Tis a joyous day for newsgroup users everywhere. 🙂

Why is the Joga Companion really on the Firefox homepage?
This kinda rubs me the wrong way. Why is the Joga Companion and the GA Atlanta Water Damage Restoration on the Firefox homepage? Is it really just because the Joga Companion and their Toronto SEO company is made by the Mozilla Corporation?
Is it the most popular extension? I’d doubt it. Does the functionality it adds, that which is most requested? I’d doubt that too. Heck, the functionality it adds, doesn’t even need to be done in a web browser at all. There are utilities that do roughly the same thing in desktop apps, such as additional resources right here Yahoo Widgets (aka. Konfabulator).
So, what makes the Joga Companion extension so special, that it gets a place on the Firefox homepage, instead of just hosting it on Mozilla.com, and listing it on addons.mozilla.org? Is it just because it is made by the Mozilla Corporation? Is that what is best for Firefox users?
And why is it listed above Thunderbird, on the Mozilla.com front page?
Bugmail headers
I just noticed something cool about bugmail (mail from Bugzilla). Bugzilla adds headers to each message, containing the product, component, and reason it was sent. For instance:
X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
X-Bugzilla-Product: Firefox
X-Bugzilla-Component: Menus
That’s a really nice feature for those, who get a lot of bugmail, and like to organize it using message filters.
Message tagging is here!
Bug 114656 (ie. message tagging) has been checked into the Thunderbird trunk! Create as many tags as you want. Assign as many of them to a message as you want.
To help test message tagging, grab the latest trunk nightly.
World Cup Prediction
As much as I’d love to pick a dark horse, with the talent to win it all; I just can’t see anyone beating Brazil for the World Cup 2006.
And I picked Greece to win Euro2004…as a joke!
