Merci, I got redirected to a .ca website instead of a .org, and it wasn't the site I wanted so I "corrected" the URL without checking.

Facebook for Google Chrome
Quick check without go facebook.com (just stop work anymore due google chrome update, I have to waiting for new version for extension)

Google Mail Checker Plus
Much better and save RAM/CPU than Google Notifier for Mac

Google Reader Notifier
All websites with RSS in ONE. It gives me less click and less load.

The Reader add-on is a godsend, but it has a tendency to crash frequently for some reason.
 
When I got Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I split the hard drive into 2 partitions on my laptop.

Was forced to wipe it clean so I reinstalled Vista Ultimate 64-bit and just left it like that. Then I got to work on the Win 7 partition, installing programs and such.

Last night, I booted into the Vista partition and gulped when I saw that it was "bare" - meaning no programs (like AIM, Office, etc) was there - so I spent up until 4 in the morning sprucing it up via installing programs and updates, then cleaning it up .... now it's done.

I find that funny and I gotta :ily: this thread since I am a techie dude!


Google Chrome = WIN

in fact, the mailman and daniel my friend on facebook were debating between Firefox and Chrome by comparing which is the best broswer since most of us know Internet Explorer 8 is the worst broswer EVER.
 
.... and when I booted into my Win 7 partition on my laptop earlier today, the built-in webcam's driver failed. I was like "oh great" and uninstalled the driver, then reinstalled. So far, all is good.
 
Interesting Mac techie?? Mac is better than PC.

I am currently using Internet Explorer 8 at the moment and I have the fair share of my own frusrations with it, because it is the only secure broswer the department can allow, and I hate it. It sometimes goes on an outage and I have to reboot the broswer all the damn time, and it is so annoying, I just wish the Chrome would become an option so I can use it mostly of the time.

If happen to me and simple use reimage everything and it done under 20 minutes and done. :) Reformat,reinstall software/driver,then update is waste of time and old fashioned. Reimage FTW!!!!

Rule number one for bughunting:

Just because it doesn't happen to you, doesn't means the bug don't exist.

Rule number two:

The greater the variety of platforms, software and hardware in existence, the likelihood for a bug to appear increase tenfold.

Proof?


World of Warcraft for Mac was initally buggy as hell before they patched it. Windows was fine.

Or how Battlefield 1942 used to have problems with AMD processors.
