New Update

Usability of Internet can be enhanced many folds if only it understands the

language we speak. Ubiquity is a plug-in for Firefox to do just that. It can be

downloaded and installed from http://tinyurl.com/5ectnw. Once installed, restart

your Firefox browser and press 'Ctrl + Space' for Windows or 'option + Space'

for Mac. Ubiquity enhances user experience by combining data from more than one

data source and integrating it into a single application. It makes this data

available through simple commands. For eg, to know the definition of a word on a

web page, select it, press 'Ctrl + Space' and type 'def' in Ubiquity window.

You'll get results instantly. Similarly, if you want to wiki any word, just

select it and type 'wiki'. The power of Ubiquity can be further enhanced by

writing or subscribing to new commands.
