On July 30, Plaxo begins charging the now free Outlook syncing $60 a year – will you pay? | Geek.com
Outlook syncing, a vital feature of the Plaxo service, will become a part of the $59,95 a year premium service.

Cycle Input Focus :: Add-ons for Firefox
Ever found yourself reaching for your mouse seconds after going to a webpage, just to select an input form that should have been made active by the website?
Cycle Input Focus removes this strain inducing movement by keeping your hands where you want them at such a time – at the keyboard.

Using a simple keyboard shortcut (ctrl-alt-x & ctrl-alt-c) you can “scroll” back and forth between input forms and type where you want to. All without lifting your hands from your keyboard.
