If you are one of these guys who move files and organize them manually under the correct directory, this blog post isn't for you.

I usually download lots of files and I keep trying to cleanup my Downloads folder in so many ways. First, I configured every application to download in its own folder so I had Firefox, iChat, Mail, etc...

Tom's Hardware has been one of my favorite sites for years. The folks there carried a Grand Prix for 2010 browsers, obviously comparing all major browsers with one thing in mind: PERFORMANCE. An amazing comparison:  http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firefox-chrome-opera,2558.html

Seems like 2009 won't go without few bells and whistles: Microsoft, accused by a patent infringement, lost a case, is ordered to pay $290M fine and stop selling Word 2007.

Yaay! Firefox is now the world most popular browser:

Viva Open Source!

After a long VI life, I decided to move to Emacs. Though I still believe that VIM is a much better editor, Emacs has fixed some long going issues I had with VIM.

After a long time of comparing Notebooks and Netbooks, I decided to buy a MacBook from Apple. I must say it feels a lot comfortable than GNOME, as stylish as KDE, much stable than Ubuntu and a heart full of BSD. I quickly installed most of the stuff I needed for my daily stuff, migrated my stuff from my last Linux laptop, got few things tweaked here and there and everything was as good as I wanted it. Another happy mac user.
