I'm not sure about the Top 10 software innovations of 2004 (beware of the JavaScript that sticks you into a frameset). It calls Mozilla Firefox's `find as you type' feature number one. This isn't innovation, it's been around for years but its inclusion is very useful. The first time I came across it was in Emacs, C-s (Control+s) and type. If anything in Firefox is innovative, it's the Web Developers' Toolbar which allows one to stop JavaScript with two mouse-clicks (and pretty much anything). XUL is also a very innovative idea, I believe.

But no! I mustn't blog! I have to do my essay.
