There are a lot of ways to make your Firefox happy. No, I am not talking about hugging and stroking the red Fox. I am talking about ways to make Firefox more responsive, faster and easier to use. In fact, you can use tons of add-ons or you can even tweak it in order to accelerate certain processes which the browser is supposed to run at a certain time. But I don’t want to write about this stuff, since I have already overflowed Web Talk with it. Today I want to stay on a simpler level. That’s not because I think you are dumb, but just because I think that there are a lot of simple procedures that the average user tends to forget cause he is quite busy to look for the latest hack or trick.

A few months ago I wrote about a nice freeware software called Burn Blue-Ray which lets you burn everything from dvd to blue-ray…for free. Today I want to talk about another freeware burner. Its name is BurnAware Free and despite the fact that is quite light (just 7.0 Mb) it is stuffed with a lot of features. It burns cd, dvd, Blue-Ray and hd-dvd. Its interface is quite easy, minimalist and intuitive and doesn’t confuse the average user with too many options like other famous software do. Continue reading »

Just in case you missed the article of mine where I speak about the first free themes for Google Chrome, here is the link. Adding a new theme to Chrome can be a real pain in the butt, since you have to copy a special .dll file into a subfolder. That’s why somebody, tired of all this, decided to create XChrome. XChrome is a theme switcher…”it allows users to change the Chrome theme in seconds without having to move default.dll around and it allows you to view the author and various other details before installing. XChrome also allows users who do not have XChrome install to install themes by double clicking the themes .exe file, they are prompted to install the theme, they agree the theme is copied to Chromes Default.dll”.
