I can't even tell you how many people that I know who are truly dedicated to using Notepad for their day to day basic writing tasks. The no-frills design minimizes distractions, and lets you get the job done quickly.

It's probably safe to say that the majority of you have been gadget collectors for as long as you can remember. If that's true, it's also probably safe to say that somewhere in your home, there's a stash of old gadgets and random accessories that you just can't seem to part with, just in case you might need them some day.

In Firefox you've always been able to assign a keyword to any bookmark, which would take you to that particular site if you type the keyword in the address bar and press Enter. That's nice and all, but once you get a large number of shortcuts it can be tough to remember them all.

It's not often that I write about Mac apps because I don't find some of them all that interesting, but I came across one that I thought was pretty useful.

Ever since we did a browser comparison test last year there have been a lot of emails and comments asking if we were going to update the article to reflect new releases. I thought about adding in the new browsers as they came out, but decided against it for one reason or another.

I've been waiting a long time for someone to come up with a way to get push notifications on my iPhone for my Gmail accounts, but up until today there wasn't really anything available. Thanks to an iPhone app called Prowl I'm now receiving nearly instantaneous push notifications on my phone.

Over the weekend I decided to download Windows 7 Build 7264, which is the latest build to have been leaked. This was considered to be an RTM escrow build, which meant that this would have been the version that gets shipped given that Microsoft didn't find any show-stopper bugs.

I'm always looking for awesome backup solutions that you won't have to pull your wallet out for, and there's no arguing that there are plenty of free apps out there.

Looking back at how Twitter has evolved I can't help but be amazed by not only it's popularity, but also the various services it is used for. I've seen ways to track packages using Twitter, add events to your calendar, manage your todo list, check balances on your accounts, and all sorts of other things. It's crazy.
