Firefox 3 – June 17 – Pledge Now and Set Guiness Record

I’ve been using firefox for a long time now… and I love it! Ver 3 is coming out on June 17 and they want to set a Guiness World Record… Firefox is free to download, lets at least show our support to them on June 17. Click on the image above to go to their site.

Livescribe – I’m getting one.

I found Livescribe today while browsing… I’ve looked at dozens of site regarding Livescribe and here’s how I propose you find out about it – in order:

1. Intro Video

2. Never Miss a Word

3. Video showing features

Nice marketing wouldn’t you agree?

Note taking is standard for most people – whether in a meeting or training or lectures… But, I have been recording audio for trainings / meetings for the past years and the problem was always finding the exact place of what I needed to hear. I usually end up listening to the whole audio clip again – what a waste of time… it became meeting time x 2 or 3. This technology seems so natural for my next step…

The set is US$149 (1GB) and US$199 (2 GB) and I’m ordering soon.

Together with it, I’ll probably order more ink of different colors and paper.

I just hope I don’t lose the pen.

Some FAQ answered:

• It needs special paper with microdots on it – but on August, they will come out with a solution to let users print themselves
• I can’t find other companies selling it – only from their website – so no discount
• It have built-in microphones (2) but you can also connect a headset with microphones and this would make recording clearer
• It have built-in speaker – which can hear what was recorded or it can give answers to some features (like calculator)
• Price of 6 pack ink is 5.95
• Price of 4 pack single rule 100 page paper is 19.95
• It have features like for calculator

Other stuff that would be nice with this – a very presentable leather clipboard to contain the papers, instructions and the pen.

Another one for my daily gadgets…

Some good reviews:
