Is your system tray too crowded with icons? If yes, then you can save some space by moving the clock from the system tray on the right to the start button. Why do you need to have the word “start” on the start button anyway? Put this space to better use by making it to display the system time using a small utility called StartClock.

Unfortunately, this program works with only Windows XP and only if it is using one of the three default themes plus the classic look. Any skinning application like custom themes or WindowBlinds will render this program useless. Worse, the developer has stopped working on the program but he has left the source code for anybody who might want to continue it. It’s sad that it works only with the default themes. Otherwise, it was a pretty useful tool.

The Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar does the same thing but for the bookmarks toolbar. This addon allows you to have any number of rows of bookmarks. This is for those who likes to keep lots of bookmarks in front of his eyes, much more than the toolbar can accommodate. With this addon, space isn’t a problem. However, make sure that you have enough screen space left to read the web page.

You can limit the height of the toolbar by editing the userChrome.css file.
In case the height of the toolbars exceed the maximum height defined in
userChrome.css, a vertical scroll bar will appear. So you can have as
many rows of toolbars you want within the space you define. If you know
CSS you can also add your own styles by editing this CSS file.

The most annoying thing about Rapidshare is that downloads doesn’t
begin immediately. Users are first required to click on FREE and then
wait till the counter gets to zero, which can take up to a minute, and
then click on Download. Only then does the file download commence. If
you move away to other sites during the wait period and then forget
about it, after some time the session expires and you have to start all
over again.

rslogo But using userscripts in Firefox you can automate this entire process. A Greasemoneky script that does it is Rapidshare Flukke’s autodownloader (read the edit below) If you don’t already have Greasemonkey, then download it and install the script.

Now when you open a Rapidshare link in a tab, the script will automatically click on the FREE button, wait for the counter to finish counting and then automatically click on the download button and start downloading. No user intervention is required. These scripts make downloading from Rapidshare just like any other file download.

EDIT: Just found out about AIO Links Checker and not only is it a much better auto downloader but it also checks the links for you from many file hosts

With everyone already tired of seeing promos for the brutal-looking You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, there’s no question that the quality of Adam Sandler movies has gone downhill since the Happy Gilmore / Billy Madison days. One thing that has stayed consistent, however, is Sandler’s selection of hot chicks to be his leading lady on screen.

Let’s break them down

#10 - Drew Barrymore - The Wedding Singer / 50 First Dates

I’ll never be attracted to a woman that has touched Tom Green, but I
thought she had to at least make the list so she gets the bottom spot,
edging out Winona Ryder (Mr, Deeds) and Marisa Tomei (Anger Management).

#9 - Courtney Cox - The Longest Yard

While her role in this movie was brief, it was unforgettable due to her un-Friends-like boobage.
