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.

With Windows Live Writer 2010 looking like it’s going to be a few more months away from release, it’s looking unimpressive right now.

Windows Live Writer is the best blogging tool out there, but it’s development is so slow; it’s depressing. It’s no wonder Internet Explorer is taking such a beating.

If you were paying attention to the Twitter world this evening you’ll see that some more screenshots of Windows Live Writer 2010 were published and besides the change in the GUI, not much has changed, and there’s no details from the developers to say different.

Everything is hush right now.

Windows Live Writer has many advantages over other blogging editors, but the fact it has extensions and allows others to add-on to the program is the great part.

Windows Live Writer’s best quality is the ability to have plug-ins. If Windows Live Writer didn’t have plug-ins it would be sorely lacking a great many needed functions.

But now it has a new plug-in, one that controls how you put information in to Windows Live Writer when pasting…

I can’t say enough about this plug-in. The author, in just a very short period of time, went from concept to product release in just a few weeks.

SOCIALMAIL is a free option/alternative for XOBNI for Thunderbird. Since the release of XOBNI, it’s been a request of users over and over; tirelessly asking for an option like this and now they’re finally going to have it.

If you’re not  loading it – your missing out…

For Thunderbird I won’t say I’m resisting the web based email websites like Google, but I like to say I still prefer the local email client; having my information on my own PC.

And having a feature rich client for email is just so much fun. It’s a lot more interesting than what you can get from a web client right now. At least not from what I’ve seen.

Nicely enough I found the links I needed..

Everyone has their own taste for applications, but it always comes down to simple yet powerful and arguing PDF readers and arguing browsers is almost the same, but you’ve more fighting ground.

I’m a new user to Ubuntu, but I really want to try something new, different, from Windows and I’ve been downloading the various versions as they’ve been released to see the progression of the Operating System.

The progression of Ubuntu has been really good over the past few years and when DELL said they were going to start passing out Ubuntu with your PC’s and laptops, I thought that was great.

The thing is Ubuntu doesn’t seem to get any respect from software and hardware makers.
