Craigslist Image Preview: Firefox extension to add images to Craigslist searches
Odds are, if you're an avid user of craigslist, you've often asked this question: why can't I have the ability to see the images of each listing without having to click on each listing individually?Download Squad reader "Mac" feels your pain, and has directed us to a new Firefox extension, Craigslist Image Preview. This neat and simple extension loads a thumbnail of the product images on the craigslist search page itself, eliminating the need to click on each individual listing to view an image.
Ah, Firefox, will thy extensibility never cease to amaze us?
The weird thing is, the only section of craigslist that has this functionality by default is the "bikes" section.
What's up with that?
Anyway, Craigslist Image Preview is a cinch to download (it installs like any other Firefox extension); once downloaded and installed, the next time you search craigslist, you'll see the first image of each listing load underneath its listing title. Obviously, the load time of the search page is much longer, but we think it's worth it.
For similar if not identical functionality, check out CLPicView version 1.0, also just released. Both extensions are free, and both seem to have an equal dislike of Firefox 3 beta 4.
Thanks, Mac!

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Thanks for the link. I released version 2.0
-Added support for Canada. + other countries.
-Made it a little faster and more efficient. It no longer tries to get images from records with no image.
-Added an image hover effect. A larger image will show in the top right of the screen on mouseover.

Maybe not a completely equal dislike for 3.0b4... the extension won't install on the Windows version, but I have it installed on the Mac OS X version 3.0b4 without any issues.
