I personally do not really care if mp3 files on my computer have the proper album covers associated with them. I do however know a few people who want their mp3 collection to be in perfect condition, which includes having album cover art for all of their mp3 files. Cover Retriever is a free open [...]
Firefox: Add HTTP Back To Address Bar
Mozilla recently made a few changes to the Firefox web browser that I personally do not like that much. One of the things that the developers changed recently is the way website urls are displayed in the address bar. HTTP websites no longer show up with the protocol http:// in front. Another change is that [...]

Thunderbird has joined the rapid release process just like Firefox did. The two programs are now being developed and updated in sync, which means that you will see updates for both programs pop up at around the same time.

Simple Performance Boost For Windows
One of the things that I like about Windows is the fact that you can tweak the operating system to suite your needs. You can do that by clicking through menus, editing the Registry, running scripts or using tweaking software. Simple Performance Boost is such a tweaking software for Windows. It comes from the same [...]

One web browser is always the default system browser on a computer system. That’s the program that is launched when you click on links for example.

Firefox Up And Coming Add-ons
I visit the Mozilla Firefox add-on repository on a daily basis, mainly to see if add-ons have been updated or released that I can review or use on my own.
