It is great if you are away from your computer or charger, and desperate for some comforting hard rock from your trusty (but dead) . I have not tried this with my own iPods, but you can judge for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPJeDssBOM

On a somewhat more serious subject, a new version of the browser is coming, called Firefox 3. It is now in Beta testing. Bookmarks will be improved, allowing you to sort them by topic.

There will be a Places function, so you can quickly go to frequently visited but not bookmarked sites. A new button will permit you to quickly and easily add a site to the bookmark list.

Also on the way is the ability to resume interrupted downloads if the connection is lost. The final consumer version of 3 is not expected for a few more months.
