/**
* This script shows some of the capabilities of the Platypush Script API, and how
* you can leverage the provided API to create custom scripts that can be executed
* from anywhere in your browser.
*
* In order to create a new script:
*
* 1. Make sure that you have added at least one Platypush device in the extension
* configuration.
*
* 2. Select the device from the menu -> Run Action -> select "Script" on "Action mode".
*
* 3. Create your script, test it, and when you're happy save it. It will be listed
* among the available actions and you can run it on any tab either from the toolbar
* menu or from any context menu.
*
* 4. Note: some of the APIs (like those used to access the DOM or the current
* tab) won't be available in the context of the extension (i.e. when you test
* your script on the extension page) due to browser sandboxing limitations.
