Mozilla announces Ubiquity

Image via Wikipedia

Mozilla recently announced “Ubiquity” and it turned up on all Social Bookmarking Site. So I thought I’d Give it a try. I downloaded the Ubiquity 0.1 firefox extension and Installed it.

The default command to open ubiquity is ctrl+spacebar. On opening ubiquity, a small greyish box appears at the top-left corner of your browser. This is where you enter commands. Somewhat feels like the linux command line :D . Ubiquity isn’t fully supported on linux yet, so I was on Vista while trying this.

To Search a word/phrase on a search engine, just select the part and hit ctrl+spacebar, and top few results will appear in the Ubiquity box itself. You can also search wikipedia by selecting wikipedia “search term” or check weather for your city.

Theres tons of commands, like email (uses your gmail account)

India's Best Olympics Performance

To be honest, I never thought we’d win even one medal and we’re won two already, and on the way to win the third.

First Abhinav Bindra‘s Gold for Men’s 10m Air Rifle and then, today Sushil Kumar‘s Bronze for Men’s 66kg Freestyle Wrestling. And a definite medal Vijender Kumar will win us in a couple days (I hope its a gold or silver!). This is the Best Olympics for Indians.

Althought I’ve hated Apple, I thought I’d try Mac4Lin made by Anirudh.
