Mozilla launched a new service that’s currently in the testing phase. It’s goal is to make it easier for you to view websites, images, and video on any mobile device. Please give a warm welcome for Joey…

Project Joey brings the Web content you need most to your mobile phone by allowing you to easily send it to your device. You can quickly mark content that is important to you and have that content always available while using your mobile phone.

The premise is this: you can use Firefox to send text clippings, pictures, videos, RSS content, and Live Bookmarks to your phone through the Joey Server. The Joey Server transcodes and keeps all of the content up-to-date. You can then use your phone’s browser or the Joey application on your phone to view and manage what you have uploaded.

So Joey is pretty much a Firefox extension for you to use that sends information to the Joey servers. Then you can access the information at anytime on your phone or PDA in a mobile-friendly format. It’s a nice idea, but it does require that you plan ahead of time what you’ll need access to. For that reason I think I’ll pass on this one.

If you don’t trust Mozilla with storing the information, that’s no problem because they walk you through what you’ll need to do to setup your own Joey server. It’s not quite as easy as point, click, and run, but I’m sure there are a few geeks out there who wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.

In Firefox 2 Mozilla implemented a feature called Microsummaries that will let users have periodically updating bookmarks. Here at CyberNet we have a few different Microsummaries available for everyone to use to help keep track of comments and new articles. If you haven’t heard the term Microsummaries before then you may be a little more familiar with the term “Live Titles” which is essentially what they are.

Mozilla plans to continue developing the Microsummaries into something great by adding graphical capabilities. Yes, what you see in the screenshot above is an example of a few charts from some stocks that you may be interested in watching. That’s not the only kind of chart that the Microsummaries will use…here is an image with the different variations expected:

I never thought that Mozilla would try and develop these even further but it is definitely something that needs to be done. Their current list of sites that have Microsummaries available are very minimal so hopefully this will help that expand. Mozilla just hasn’t tried to promote these enough.

If you have a hard time knowing when a site has a Microsummary available just download and use the Microsummary Buddy extension. It will notify you in the address bar with a little colored box similar to the RSS icon when a Microsummary has been detected on a site. My question is why didn’t Mozilla include something like this in Firefox?

Thanks to “Jack of all Trades” for the tips (he sent the extension as well)!

For a little while yesterday, Apple had a section on Leopard’s Boot Camp page that discussed a pretty useful feature. It said that Boot Camp was going to utilize the Mac’s "safe sleep" mode (equivalent to hibernation in Windows) to give users a one-click option to restart the computer in Windows.

Here’s what the feature said:

New, faster restarts.
Leopard brings a quicker way to switch between Mac OS X and Windows: Just choose the new Apple menu item â€
