firefox - I'll put twins in you.

ctrl + 8 is 8th tab.

ctrl + 9 is the LAST tab.

So if you have 41 tabs open, tabs 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 41 are accessible with the "ctrl + #" shortcut.

It is hard to out-fox the fox.

firefox - I'd like to put a baby in you.

Amongst many cool features, this one is brand new to me:

Did you know? Even if you did, forgive me, but appreciate my excitement (and realize this is my blog, so I can do what I wish, as if I was a Briton):

ctrl + 1


in firefox brings the 1st tab up from any tab that you were on.

ctrl + 2

the 2nd tab,

etc.

I always have GMAIL in my 1st tab but until this morning would just "cycle" through tabs with ctrl+tab or ctrl+shift+tab.

No longer!

God Bless Italy.

"But Starbucks' throwback logo is fodder for the bloggers: They're poking fun at Schultz's accommodation of conservative coffee drinkers. In the original logo, the twin-tailed Greek mermaid showed her navel and bare breasts. In 2006, when the logo was originally revived, the chain received complaints about the "decency" of the logo and, despite the chairman's well-known liberal politics, the lady grew long hair to cover her indecency. That's the version we have today. Italians would never have given in—or complained in the first place."

From here.
