Israel Frees Palestinian Prisoners In U.S.-Brokered Peace Deal

Posted in: Today's Chili

RAMALLAH, West Bank — RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Israel freed 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesday, the second of four batches to be released as part of a deal that set in motion the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

The decision to release the 26 has triggered anguish and anger in Israel, where many view the men as terrorists who have committed grisly crimes against Israelis. But jubilant celebrations erupted in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, where the prisoners are seen as heroes who fought for independence, and were received by their families and Palestinian leaders.

Backup Your Firefox Extensions Into One File

Backup Your Firefox Extensions Into One File
 

There are a lot of people who hate the day when you need to wipe your Firefox profile clean and start from scratch. You know the drill: install Firefox, get your extensions, adjust the settings, import your bookmarks, etc…

This can seem overwhelming at some point but Google recently made it easier with the release of Google Sync. That will take care of transferring your bookmarks, some of your cookies, and your passwords. That is where the Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE) comes in. It will backup your Firefox extensions and settings, and then all you need to do is use Compact Library Extension Organizer (CLEO) to bundle all of the information into one single XPI file that can be installed in any Firefox profile.

These features are only offered for Windows users currently, which is a little disappointing because one of the big features of Firefox is being cross-platform. Hopefully they will be able to support other operating systems in the future so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of these two extensions.

Vice Magazine Highlights Clark Little

Posted in: Today's Chili

For all its glory, the North Shore of Oahu is pretty conventional. Clark Little is one of the few photographers there who has been drawing his own lines since he started. We remember looking at photos of him surfing the Waimea shorebreak as a kid and wondering what the hell he was thinking. Now, several years later, he’s taken his once-novice photography skills to the gallery level. He’s quit his day job and just plays in the ocean all day.

Posted in: Today's Chili

We know Thomas Edison to be the inventor of many modern commodities, but here’s one invention you probably didn’t know was on his list: the cat video.

The video above, which features two cats boxing (complete with gloves and boxing ring), was reportedly made in Edison’s Black Maria studio in New Jersey in July of 1894, according to Business Insider.

That was less than a decade after Edison invented earlier models of motion picture exhibition devices, making cat videos almost as old as film itself!
