Well, Digg does have its own built-in search, but for sites that don't, the site: operator is a godsend. You can find a great deal of gems with it. Read more

That's really interesting. On a completely fresh reinstall of windows (reformat and the whole deal) and before I ran Firefox for the first time, I was prompted to install this add-on. Weird — I hadn't even been to Lifehacker on the new computer yet. Read more

Speaking of feeds, someone should let Gawker know that all of their feed titles in Bloglines are missing; the URL of the feed is displayed instead. I subscribe to 4 Gawker feeds and all of them are affected. Read more

Very interesting. I also have never seen the "luffa" spelling before. I'd always been under the impression that it was spelled "loofah." You learn new things every day. :) Read more

Not sure if this is the "latest" as you say — the 80GB iPod video has been out for maybe a year now, and wallacetheweasel mentioned that the 8GB is not featured as well. Read more
