One comment about Firefox is its tendency to hog RAM. Well, sad to say, but it’s true (still not as much as the other browser :p). What’s comforting about it is that, Firefox’s customization allows you to tell Firefox not to use up too much RAM. Here’s how:

Flyakite OSX has been around for quite some time now. I wonder why it’s only now that I decided to feature it. It’s just pretty much just a skinning application that simulates a Mac OSX GUI on your Windows.

One of the ways Firefox offers a faster browsing experience is that it has a pre-load feature that will download pages behind the links that you might click. I don’t know how Firefox does this but it does.
So if you’re just coursing through a page, you might just be wasting bandwidth and hard [...]
Yesterday I faced the daunting task of cleaning out my PC. And there’s nothing like a freshly reformatted OS drive and a newly installed OS (with a clean and neat registry) to boost its speed back to like it was brand new. I’ve done the process so many times already that it feels like [...]

It just amazes me how IE is so far behind Firefox. Still for IE users out there, you can still play catchup to Firefox with IE add-ons. Here’s one that that spell-checks text input boxes in webpages displayed on Internet Explorer - ieSpell. It’s great for web form junkies - like those who are [...]

Sort of news flash. Hey, Vista users, it’s good for one year. And it’s all good. Unless Microsoft does something about it, legally.
Brian Livingston, publisher of a great site called Windows Secrets, revealed sometime last month how to tweak a registry key called SkipRearm in order to extend the activation period. For the exact [...]
