We'd seen beta previews of the new add-on site, but as of this morning, the redesign has gone live. The new skin and organization make it more apparent how to search, sort, and install add-ons, but Collections, and the Add-On Collector extension, are the real new hotness.
addons.mozilla.org/collections/davesawesomecollection (Note: Not a real collection, at least until someone spoofs it). So it's kind of convenient if you happen to know of or find a great collection set, but the real power comes in creating your own collections, either by typing and selecting add-ons on the site, or automatically culled from your current extensions with the Add-On Collector. As you can see in the screenshot at right, Subscriptions becomes a part of your Add-Ons options when you install the Collector, and the extension itself gives you some control over what gets published to your private or public collections, along with allowing you to subscribe to mulptiple collections if you'd like.
Mozilla explains in video detail how Collections, and the Add-On Collector, work:
The Add-On Collector is a free download for Firefox, while the Collections site works on the web. Both require a Mozilla account to save and synchronize collections.
Got a great collection already built? Link us to it and give us a few details in the comments.
No matter how devious the realms of herbal solutions and DEAR SIR notes, Digital Inspiration's filter is probably worth installing in your Gmail filters. Create a new filter by clicking Settings->Filter->Create a new filter in Gmail's web interface, then follow the linked post's instructions on pasting and setting up a system to archive and, optionally, apply a label to your non-English mail. For those of us who have no contacts who would write in another language, it's fairly safe to just delete or archive the filter-caught messages without a new label, but international mailers can use their discretion.
Looking at it again, the copy-friendly text included at the link below includes lang:en, which would filter out English language emails. Make sure you remove that snippets and the OR before or after it to ensure your standard English emails arrive in your inbox. In other countries and languages, be sure to remove the snippet relevant to your email language. Thanks, xxdesmus!
The bad news is that this filter will only catch emails that identify themselves in their headers, or embedded source information, as written in a language other than English. Spam mail has about the least reliable headers around, which is why thieves write messages from "PayPal Services" asking for your passwords. So don't expect to see everything cleaned away, but with a combination of this filter and Gmail's built-in spam management, you might ! get a cl eaner inbox. For more plug-and-play filter fun, try our ten must-have, download-ready Gmail filters.
As part of the testing process, InnoDisk says they test the NanoSSD by hitting it with 20 Gs of of "accelerative force" while plugged into a motherboard, and TweakTown says it's designed to survive this. There's been no mention of when this will be available, and I'm sure you'll have to sell a couple of your kids into slavery to afford this thing. But it totally looks worth it.

L-3 Link says that their simulator gives you 20-40 visual acuity—current sims do 20-80—which it is almost close enough to fool the eye. 20-20 is perfect visual acuity, but it's still not possible with current projector technology.
The simulator runs on their Simusphere—a 180-degree of field display that uses nine projectors combined—and 120 networked Intel Dual Core PCs with stock, top of the line graphic cards. Not as large as the Mersive 360-degree combat simulator but much more accurate and visually impressive.
In fact, according to the company, the 120 networked PCs give you the most complex and accurate flight simulator out there, with high-fidelity environments, actual world destruction and explosions with physics simulation, and up to 10,000 simultaneous entities on screen in urban environments. All while running the actual F-16 operational program. I don't know if it is the most complex and accurate, but I have to find a way to get one of these. Pronto. [Military.com]
