REMINDER: Microsoft’s Free Support For Windows XP Ends Today

Posted by Bradley under Technology

People love and continue to love Windows XP but Microsoft is ending free support for its most popular OS beginning today.

That means if you HAVE to call up Microsoft for a problem with XP you will have to shell out your hard earned money to talk to somebody.

Office 2003 also leaves mainstream support tomorrow.

But never fear your automatic updates and security patches will continue on until April 8, 2014.

Give Firefox Personality With Personas For Firefox

Posted by Bradley under Internets, Technology

Firefox is a great web browser but its default looks can be uninspiring.

Personas For Firefox from Mozilla Labs lets you customize Firefox with themes Personas that fit your personality.  I went with the gray and white diagonal lines Persona in the pic above.

Even create your own or set it up to randomize a Persona from your favorite category.

A great way to spice up my most frequently used application.
