Use Mozilla Firefox’s Sidebar Option
Firefox has lots of neat plug-ins, but if you don’t require them and can get the same result with something more standard; it nice because it uses less resources and less resources typically mean a faster system.
A lot of people know you can drag URLs from the address bar to shortcut bar in Firefox, but I don’t think average people know about the option to optn those links in the SIDEBAR.

Download: Rapportive – Social Plug-in For Gmail
When I don’t have to write access to my Thunderbird, with the plug-in for SocialMail, I like to utilize Firefox with the plug-in called Rapportive. It’s a plug-in for Firefox and chrome that replaces the ads in Gmail with user specific information and biographic information.
It links up with Facebook, linked in, and other social networking websites. It utilizes the Rapleaf social networking hub to data mine information about the contact and display that information on the right-hand side of the e-mail.
Information doesn’t show up in the grid listing of the inbox, it only shows up when you’re actually looking at the specific e-mail of that person.

Making Mozilla Thunderbird Slender and Perfect
Mozilla Thunderbird is not one of the applications that I would consider outstanding from a vanilla installation. What make Thunderbird exceptional is its ability to have extensions; to make the program be more than what it is. To have functions that it wouldn’t normally have…
This is where you can think of third-party providers for developing and supporting Thunderbird in making it so extremely popular with its users.
Up to about two months ago I’ve been struggling with the idea of converting off of Thunderbird onto something else. It’s difficult to come to a decision to switch to different software package after you’ve been using something for so long and have become so accustomed to using.

Download: Lammer Context Menu
I really like finding applications that should be, or could have been, a standard function of the Windows operating system. A lot of people would agree that there are some utilities and some functions have been added by independent programmers for the Windows operating system that make it so much easier to use in comparison to the plain-vanilla functions that are provided straight out of the box.
It wasn’t until recently that I found a fantastic context menu extension from Windows Explorer.
As a person that deals with computers or regular basis and would be considered an IT professional, adding access to certain pieces of information when you right-click on a file in Windows Explorer can be extremely valuable. This would include copying the path to the file, or mounting virtual directories; just to name a few…

Hard Drive Space Questions Your Backup Method
The current technology trends dictate that hard drive storage for PCs keep growing. Hard drive space continues to grow at an exponential rate while the price of the hard drives continue to drop.
When I hear individuals talking about purchasing a new PC, and they give me the specifications about the processor, memory and hard drive space; I really start wondering if this individual understands what they’re really saying.
Newer desktop machines are being purchased with larger hard drives, somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 to 1 TB of hard drive space available. And while this may be fine and dandy, this brings up the subject of how does this information get backed up and are people thinking about this when their systems are purchased?

Phraseexpress Support Demonstrates How To Shamelessly Plagiarize
Ladies and gentlemen, I travel in small circles looking for bits of technology here and there, and while I try to find new and interesting stuff, it’s rare that I find outrageous and shocking things that just make me go, DAMN!
I’ve my website, and I spread the things that I think are interesting. I beta test for programmers, I offer suggestions to websites distributing software to users and I offer my opinions on how to do things better to a lot of people; basically, I consult- for free. [smiling]
I write from time to time about my own experiences with tech support, hardware or software products, and issues, as I did with PhraseExpress. But I wasn’t prepared to see the words that I wrote to them, to be duplicated word for word, on an another website, to soothe another pissed off PhraseExpress customer/reviewer.
What follows next, is AWESOME… This is some good stuff…
