Foxmarks has rightfully become an outrageously popular Firefox extension. I love it because I'm able to sync/backup my bookmarks with multiple computers. What makes it really nice, however, is that it integrates right into Firefox's bookmark system. That essentially means you won't even have to think about the extension once you've got it setup.

You're probably aware of how the Firefox add-on system works by now, but we'll give a quick recap. Over a year ago Mozilla decided that they needed to add a middle-man to the extension publishing process so that they could ensure that only the quality extensions made it onto the add-ons site.

Even though the economy isn't at its best, both Microsoft and Apple seem to be doing well. A couple of recent articles point this out:

One of the beauties of Wikipedia is the simple fact that nearly anybody is able to contribute to the site. They're also criticized for this as well, and some say the practice of allowing open-editing makes Wikipedia susceptible to vandalism. What is Wikipedia to do to find a happy-medium where they can allow open editing of content yet keep the site accurate and free of vandalism?

Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).

Like our Monday CyberNotes articles that changed themes over time, our Friday articles changed as well. We originally started with "Free for All Fridays" and we focused on finding various services or software that were free for everybody. Eventually we switched and it's now "Fun Friday." With these articles, we try to find something fun or funny that we think our readers will enjoy.
