I’m not sure have you guys come across this cute little fox.
Hi Everyone, I am Foxkeh.
Let’s meet Foxkeh, the mascot of Mozilla Japan! This little fox was named Foxkeh after FIREFOX and SUKE, the suffix of common boy’s name in Japan.
It was created a Mozilla Japan staff for Firefox promotion in Japan but it is not a mascot character of the Mozilla Firefox. Hence, it will not appear either in the default theme or icons of the Firefox. It’s a pity Foxkeh is not made as th official mascot because it’s uniqueness truly represents Firefox in my opinion.
Foxkeh has become more popular since its appearance in last September. Even it’s now available as a Spread Firefox! affiliate banner.
If you are not using Firefox for web browsing, I would highly recommend you to start using Firefox as your default web browser.

Ever think of using a “mouse-like” device as pointing device for your TV instead of the dull TV remote control? You know, like having a cursor moving in your TV just like what we have for PC?
Hillcrest Labs actually has this revolutionary pointing device for TV called HÅMETM Interactive Media System.
Quoted:
Hillcrest Labs’ HÅMETM Interactive Media System combines the first graphical, zoomable interface for television with a patented motion control technology called FreespaceTM. Where Freespace is a motion control technology senses motion in three dimensions and precisely translates human motions into on–screen cursor movement.
This device is used with a special program to recognize hand movements and provides graphical interface for televisions. In fact, the HÅME software can be embedded in a broad range of digital media devices, including high definition televisions, set–top boxes, and PCs too.
Here is a video demonstration of this futuristic device by CNET. The device looks very promising even though it will only hit the market maybe another year later.

I’ve come across this interesting movie clip called The Google Master Plan in Youtube quite some time ago. It’s a movie directed and produced by Ozan Halici & Jürgen Mayer for their Bachelors’s Thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, Germany.

Well, it talks about our privacy as users of Google free services as well. Needless to say, it got me ponder how powerful Google is nowadays.
