Read It Later Integrates with Google Reader, Non-Firefox Browsers [Featured Firefox Extension] 30 October 2008 at 7:30 am by admin

The most obvious features are a check-to-save tool that adds the add-on’s signature checkmarks to Google Reader items, as well as an option to use the pageview-counting a href=”http://postrank.com/”PostRank/a service to rank your to-read items. Those using non-Firefox browsers can now get an account and bookmarklets from the a href=”http://readitlaterlist.com/”Read It Later List/a site, and enable an option in the Firefox add-on to have everything you mark for later reading saved as an offline copy. Wondering what all the fuss is about a seemingly simple bookmark tool? Check out Gina’s a href=”http://lifehacker.com/5045929/shelf-web-pages-instantly-and-get-back-to-work-with-readitlater”screenshot tour/a of the a href=”http://lifehacker.com/5039968/mozilla-crowns-best-firefox-3-extensions”award-winning/a add-on.

+ AppTimer Measures Program Start-Ups to the Millisecond [Featured Windows Download] By admin 30 October 2008 at 7:00 am and have No Comments

pimg src=”http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/10/apptimer_cropped.jpg” width=”235″ height=”226″ align=”right” hspace=”4″ vspace=”2″ align=”right”/Windows only: You’re nearly at wit’s end with certain laggy, hard-drive-crushing apps on your system and ready to make a switchmdash;but are they really any faster at starting up and getting going than the alternatives? AppTimer, a stand-alone utility, runs your programs for you and measures how long it takes them to get to an idle, ready state. It’s a relatively simple program, but it puts out seriously detailed logs, and you can change the means by which you measure a program’s ready state, how many times to run it, and how to close it. In other words, it looks like I’ll be using a new tool come the next round of a href=”http://lifehacker.com/5055406/browser-speed-tests-the-compiled-up+to+date-results”browser speed tests/a.
