Google Tasks in Firefox Sidebar - EASY!

Pre. If you don't see the sidebar, go to view sidebar and choose anything.
1. Open https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1 (you should see your tasks)
2. Drag the url to the bookmark to the bookmark toolbar
3. Right-click the new bookmark and select Properties.
4. Check the "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" box, then click Save Changes.
5. Close and reopen firefox. You should have your tasks there.

UPDATE:
The only downside is that Firefox's sidebar doesn't automatically refresh.
Solution: Install All in One Sidebar

Resetting Logitech MX Revolution mouse

My mouse started to get jumpy, even though it had always been one of the smoothest tracking mice I've ever used (wired or wireless).

This seems to have done the trick:

Make sure Mouse is fully charged (Battery indicator shows device is charged)
Turn the Mouse ON,
Hold Down the Left Button,
Turn the mouse OFF then ON (left Button still held down),
Click the right Button 5 times (left Button still held down),
Then release both buttons,
Cursor should move.
