Linux on Treo 650 gets real - Engadget

Engadget is reporting that somebody has GPE Linux running on a Treo 650! I recently played with the Treo 700 at the Verizon kiosk at Circuit City. It has awesome functionality from what I could tell. But I would love to be able to run a more dynamic OS on my Treo. I question the stability of Linux on the Treo, though the article implies no problems. I wonder if it would affect my phone service with Cingular or are those two different aspects of the device?

Firefox: Switch Tabs with Keyboard

I was reading some comments on Flickr when somebody mentioned using Control+Option+Command+8 to polarize the screen. This is part of Mac OS X's "Universal Access" options found in system preferences.

So started playing around with this Control + Option + Command + ___ a little more. I found that if I hold the three buttons and press a number, it will select that corresponding tab on Firefox. For example, if I hold Control + Option + Command + 2, it will select the 2nd tab in the row.
