You know that Last Pass is my password manager of choice. Not to long ago I made the decision to become a premium user, not because I needed additional features like mobile access but because it would support the developers of this awesome product.

Be Careful When Comparing Browser Download Records
Sebastian Anthony over at the Download Squad today looked at the total number of downloads of Internet Explorer 9 in the first 24 hours of release.

Readable Improves Online Readability
A website’s layout and formatting may improve or reduce its readability. Black text on a dark background or distracting menus are just two of the elements that reduce the readability of a textual information. The Firefox add-on Readable, a direct port of the bookmarklet Readable, falls into the same category of tools such as TidyRead, [...]
Can’t Move Menubar In Internet Explorer 9
Microsoft for some unknown reason has made the decision to hide the menubar in Internet Explorer 9 by default. Some users are apparently able to display the menubar permanently by right-clicking on free space in one of the toolbars and selecting the menu bar from the available options. Others do not see the menu bar [...]
