PFT: Plaxico eyes ‘maybe 3 or 4′ TDs vs. Giants

Steelers linebacker James Harrison has acted with defiance in the wake of his one-game suspension.  Now that he’s back at work, he’s still not fully accepting blame for his latest illegal hit.  Instead, he’s pointing a finger at the Browns for allowing the player into whose face Harrison planted a helmet to return to action after missing only two plays.

Firefox: Add HTTP Back To Address Bar

Mozilla recently made a few changes to the Firefox web browser that I personally do not like that much.
