Firefox/Internet Explorer: If Gmail or Google Apps mail is attached to your workday like your right arm, MailBrowser could be a handy pop-out sidebar tool for making sense of the people who mail you and the files they send.

“Could be,” in this case, because MailBrowser, which is basically a Firefox or Internet Explorer sidebar that’s aware of what you’re looking at in Gmail or Google Apps, is somewhat of a mixed bag, with the total payout depending on how you use Gmail. If having a complete backup of your IMAP history cached locally for easy message access sounds appealing, your sidebar is going to hold a lot of helpful data. You get a complete list of everyone you’ve ever contacted, from one or more Gmail/Apps accounts, and you can tag contacts to make them friendly to searching and sorting.

As for file attachments, MailBrowser is even more helpful on that front. Because your files are cached and stored locally, you can use any desktop search software, or just Windows’ own file indexing, to find the stuff you’ve been sent. MailBrowser also provides thumbnail previews of the files you’re digging through, so it’s easy to pin down the Word document you’re looking for.

Then again, MailBrowser takes a seriously long time to download the average account, as you might expect, and isn’t always on point when it comes to handling multiple accounts, multi-person emails, or even people who have emailed more than one account you’ve hooked up.

If having your attachments and contact information at your fingertips, and locally cached, is a valuable resource for your Google-Mail-addicted ways, you could do worse than MailBrowser. It’s a free download for Windows systems only, and requires Firefox 3.0 or later or Internet Explorer 7 or 8.

Now this is what I call an iPod dock. Behind it, crazy guy Moritz Waldemeyer, the guy behind OK Go‘s LED suits for their tours a couple of years back. What is it, chaps? A smoky, light-y Home Disco!

Waldemeyer was commissioned by swank UK design-porn magazine Wallpaper to come up with a Home Disco. Doubling up as a coffee table, the HD (my kinda HD, forget all that 1080p bollocks) has a “Haze Machine” – what non-dry ice smokers would probably call a bong – which will certainly fire up the party when Great Auntie Ethel comes to stay. This is so on my list of 2010 Chrizzle presents. [We Heart]

One of the biggest lawsuits concerning Google at the moment is starting to move forward after almost three years. The Viacom versus YouTube suit has been in the preparation phase, but is now set to get into the ruling process as both sides have made requests for a summary judgment by the court. This is the first step in getting… (read more)

The state government had allotted 17 acres of land on the foothills of Bhujiya hillock to the traders of Bheed Bazaar who had lost their shops in the earthquake, said a source.

The traders were, however, asked to procure a G-5 certificate from the district collector of Kutch before they could lay claim to the land.

But many traders, who were not even affected by the calamity, managed to get land by presenting fake certificates. A complaint in this regard was also filed by Henry Chako, Kutch secretary of All India Anti Corruption Crime Preventive Council, an NGO.While collector of rajkot , pradeep sharma was arrested for misusing his powers to give shops meant for use of earth quake effected traders. At that time pradeep sharma was placed in kutch. Government had alloted plots for rebuilding of shops demolished by earth quake. This shops were to be given to traders who were earthquake effected at nominal price but mr pradeep is accused of giving false documents to people who got entitled for such shops due to false documents.

Two of the singers with the most outrageous fashion sense in pop music history may share the stage in a special engagement next month.

Quirky singing sensation Lady Gaga is reportedly hoping to land a duet performance with Culture Club pioneer Boy George when the European leg of her sold-out Fame Monster Tour makes a stop in London this winter. In fact, Georgie and Gaga could perform together at a concert at the famed O2 Arena as early as Feb., says The Sun. The “Poker Face” hitmaker once said that the ’80s icon’s catalogue has had an influence on her charttoppers. Pals say Gaga is ecstatic about the chance to work with the artist:

“Gaga has always been a fan and now he’s got his life back on track it’s the perfect opportunity to do something with him….”

Many of Michigan’s school districts suffered major problems in 2009, with some of the largest forced to close buildings.
Mayor Mark Winslow says the city is also hurting. “Even in good times, it would…affect us.”

The biggest hit comes from lost sewer and water revenue. That totals $34,000 a month.

“We’ve made some budget cuts,” Winslow said.

Those cuts total $70,000 so far.

Winslow says the city has even asked the state for help. “If there’s any, any relief we could get on our bonds. And basically, what we’re being told is we borrowed the money, we have to pay it back.”

Back at Tony’s Tacos relief will only come if the prison reopens. “We want to see how things go, and hopefully, they’ll bring something in here to town. That’s what we really need,” said Hernandez.

Despite losing two bids for prisoners over the last few weeks, there is still hope for the now-closed Standish Maximum Correctional facility. The state is drafting a proposal to house some California prisoners there.

The prison had been a contender to house Pennsylvania prisoners and Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The National Weather Service is calling for rain before 1 p.m. followed by snow. The temperature is expected to hit 38 degrees by 9 a.m. then fall to abou 33 degrees for the remainder of the day.

It will be windy today with gusts up to 39 miles per hour. Total snow accumulation of less than 1 inch is possible.

Snow showers are expected to continue overnight with accumulation of 1 to 2 inches.

Here’s an article from our friends over at The Toilet Paper. To subscribe to their free ball busting daily newsletter, click here.

It’s 2010 and still no Jetsons fold-up cars or Back to the Future hover boards. However, it’s hard to be disappointed with mankind’s technological progress when you consider that we do have spray pancakes and those nifty Heineken mini-kegs.

Every January fills us with optimism, a clearer sense of purpose, and the goal of positive change, AKA the New Year’s resolution. That’s right; it’s time to lose the FUPA, stop smoking, quit gambling, cut down on the booze, go to church on Sunday, and volunteer at a local orphanage giving hugs. For us here at TTP headquarters, we are giving up dating girls named JWoww and are selling the office didgeridoo.

Numbers

49% – Percentage of all adults who have ever smoked that quit, according to the American Heart Association. Sounds like an incredibly high success rate until you consider it’s hard to continue smoking when you’re dead.

Quote

Better a broken promise than none at all.
Mark Twain

Mark, we’d like you to meet Elin Nordegren Woods.

Words

eschew

verb. 1. To abstain or keep away from; shun; avoid.

Used in a sentence: Following getting his teeth knocked out at Esau’s bar mitzvah, Efram has eschewed fruit chews.

Fact

The first day of the year was fixed as January 1 by the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. The purpose of introducing a new calendar was the need to regulate Christian feasts, days, and festivals. Coincidentally, it’s also great for keeping track of the annual Topless Coleslaw Wrestling Tournament at Biketoberfest.

The List

Least Popular New Year’s Resolutions
1. Gain fifty pounds.
2. No more flossing.
3. Explore Topeka, KS.
4. Become a fan of Insane Clown Posse.
5. Finally catch herpes.

Kate’s got a new ‘do, Jon’s got a new girl….Fresh off a nasty divorce from ex-wife Kate and several rocky high-profile romances, Octopop Jon Gosselin has fallen hard for a bubbly 25-year-old brunette he met while snowboarding in Utah over the holidays, The National Enquirer reveals in its Jan. 18 issue.

Introducing Jon’s latest victim, Morgan…..(The poor girl hasn’t got a clue what she’s getting into.)

“Jon met Morgan over Thanksgiving while snowboarding in Utah, and they’ve been inseparable.”

Tattlers tell the tab the lovestruck father of eight is so into Morgan that he’s considering ditching his bachelor’s pad in the Big Apple and moving to Utah to be closer to her. The change of scenery might do him some good. The ex-star of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 has been slapped with seven-figure breach of contract lawsuit by the network. Jon’s also at war with former flame Hailey Glassman, who he accuses of trashing the Manhattan studio they once shared.

Sega Toys’ series of planetarium projection systems for home use, the so-called Homestars, is getting another update. The company has announced [JP, PDF] the so-called Homestar Aqua for the Japanese market (everyone living outside this country can pre-order the Aqua here). This version is smaller and can, as the name suggests, be used in the bathroom (it’s water-resistant). And it’s relatively inexpensive, too.

The Homestar Aqua is battery-powered, sized at just 85 x 118 x 87mm and weighs 400g. It projects around 10,000 stars onto a circular area of 1.8m in your bathroom (projection distance: between 1.5 and 2.3m). Buyers can choose between models in pink, black, blue and beige.

Sega Toys will start selling the Homestar Aqua on January 29. It’s Japan only, but as stated above, the Japan Trend Shop lets you pre-order the device already (price: $73).

This video shows the Homestar Aqua in action:
