Just in time for Father’s day. This is a good web trick with an epic pay off. Have you ever tried to snag an image from the web (for personal use) only to get a file called spaceball.gif or some other image? Protecting creative works is important, but so is the art of capturing great visuals for scrapbooking purposes or what have you.You can use tools like snagit or jing to screen-capture the image. or stitch together zoomed in snippits of the high res version using Microsoft’s PhotoSynth software, but there is also usually an easier way.

Pop Charts Labs for example, makes this great 40×30 inch map of Breweries of the United States.  I love this map. I don’t love paying $30. So how does one obtain said map or at least admire the full image in all of it’s high res glory? For this trick you need to use FireFox or Google Chrome Browser.
