Firefox Skips 3.0.6.9 Moves to 3.0.7

Why the fuck is this news!??!?! When it’s fucking out, a little dialog will helpfully pop up in my browser and ask me if I want to update. I mean are there nerds out there that are crouched in their Aeron Chairs rocking back and forth waiting for the literal second they can download a [...]

WinDirStat Overexposed

I seriously do not understand that fascination with WinDirStat! Seriously, why does this program keep getting press, time and time again??

Ugnaughts Smelt More than Droids

Whoever smelt it…dealt it and looks like the Ugnaughts over at mozilla labs have dealt us a handful of awesomeness. Looks like a code editor in the clouds.

Download WizMouse

Download and use…WizMouse. It’s free and it stops you having to click on a window before you can scroll with the mouse wheel. I’ve been using it for about 5 minutes and I also wonder why it’s not built into Windows. Kind of like how the XMouse Powertoy used to change the Window focus when [...]
