Keep tabs on your mobile minutes in Firefox

by Jordan Running Jul 17th 2006

Winston Huang has written a pair of great extensions for Firefox that help you keep tabs on how many minutes you have left on your mobile phone. They're the Verizon Minutes Used Extension and the TMobile MInutes Used Extension. Each of them shows you right in your status bar how many minutes you've used and how many you have left, and hovering over it will give you more information like a projection of how many minutes you'll use this month. Brilliant!

This is awesome! I wish they had this for sprint though. I wonder if this will work with firefox 2.0? I know some people have had issues with some of the extensions not working.

This proves once again why firefox is soooo much better than IE.

I second the call for Sprint.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
