From now on, I plan to post at least one collection of wallpapers every month. Many of us like when our desktop look stylish and it’s somehow easier to work in such a great environment, right?

Even if you find a great wallpaper for your desktop, after particular amount of time that same cool wallpaper seems outdated and you’re bored with it. Am I right? Well, that’s true for most people… Besides, it’s always good to make some changes and refreshments from time to time.

I will do my best to find the very best of desktop wallpapers from all around the web and put them together into a post. And I will do that on a regular basis (monthly or maybe weekly) so all of us will always have a fresh, new wallpaper substitute for that old one that we got bored of.

So let’s start with a collection of Typography Wallpapers that I’m sure many of you will like!

Today, after exactly 13 days since Mozilla released Firefox 3.5 RC1, the final and stable version of Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox 3.5 is officially available for download.

Note that add-ons and plugins installed under Firefox 3 may be incompatible and/or require updates to work smoothly with Firefox 3.5.

When you install Firefox 3.5 all of your Extensions and Themes will be disabled until Firefox 3.5 determines that either they are compatible with the Firefox 3.5 release or there are newer versions available that are compatible and can be used without problems.

When you use Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7, you noticed that when you run it, and then minimize or close it, it does not go to Windows System Tray as it used to be in Windows XP or Vista.

I know this is new Windows, but some things can still irritate and this is definitely one of those things. I simply hate to see Windows Live Messenger mixed with my other applications that are running at the moment or that are pinned down to the new Windows 7 taskbar.

If this irritates you as well and you would like Windows Live Messenger to go directly to System Tray when you minimize it, here’s a simple how-to for you.

I recently wrote about Mozilla’s new release of Firefox 3.5 RC and I’m sure many of you Firefox users have already downloaded the latest version and tried a couple of things.

Now a few days after release, Mozilla released a new video which describes every new feature in deatails.

I thought of writing about the features but now when I saw this video, I think it will tell you more than thousands words and it should be everything you need to know about these new Firefox 3.5 features.

And even better, it is all presented, step-by-step and visually so you can see exactly where some of the functions and options can be found when you open your Firefox 3.5.

Are you following more people than you have followers? Maybe you follow someone, just because you expect that they will reciprocate, follow you back? If you sometimes use this Twitter technique, there are always people who do not follow you back and over time, that list gets bigger and bigger and you end up having more people that you follow than number of your Twitter followers.

After all that, it’s hard to search for those who are not following you back, sometimes it’s too much of them.

But now you can find out exactly who doesn’t follow you, and automatically unfollow all of them! In one single bulk action, one click - nice and easy!

As you probably already know, China has blocked access to Twitter, Flickr and even YouTube to their internet users. That is some kind of their law or someting like that… But recently there were people who said that China does not only block those websites but also blogs and websites that write about whole this banning and blocking thing are being blocked by the Great Firewall of China.

As soon as you hear this, I’m sure you would like to know if your website, by any chance (even if you didn’ write about it), might be blocked so visitors from China can’t come to your site. Remember how many internet users China have? It’s surely not a small number, so it’s worth checking. But it’s also easy and fast, just a couple of clicks and you’re done!

Wikipedia, the worlds largest online encyclopedia that is being edited by volunteers and regular people who fill in the blanks with references… It is the most popular general reference work on the Internet. I use it regularly for various stuff that I need to find out about.

Yet there are some tools and web services that will enable you to get much more out of Wikipedia. Some tools will ease your research, others will suggest you more sources and some will even help you understand some of the Wikipedia’s articles that are full of scientific terms that are very often confusing.

I have made a list of 10 great tools that will definitely help you get more out of Wikipedia and make your experience while using it, joy and fun! Fore even more fun you can check out the post - Wikipedia Converted Into Real Book - Photos Included

Here’s another promotional offer, but this time from Trend Micro which means another opportunity for you to grab some free security software. They’re offering their Internet Security suite free to download and it can be used for 3 months.

So if you have previously downloaded Panda Internet Security (license for 3 months also) that I covered a while ago (if you want to download it instead of Trend Micro feel free to do that because the offer still lasts),  when your 3 months of using Panda Internet Security end, now you can continue using free protection for your PC with Trend Micro Internet Security.

You’ve probably already heard about Wikipedia, the worlds largest online encyclopedia that is being edited by volunteers and regular people who fill in the blanks with references… It is the most popular general reference work on the Internet.

So what do you think if that same online encyclopedia - Wikipedia is converted into real book that can be read and touched like any other book? Can you guess what size would that book be? Read on to find out and see photos of it.

Rob Matthews, a graphic design student from Brighton, Sussex, took two weeks to make the book out of Wikipedia! Although that book doesn’t really contains the whole Wikipedia content (I think that’s impossible) but as he said, he tried and selected only the best articles he could find (with best references and the most accurate ones) and he turned them into book, a huge book!

A book which is 5,000 pages long and 1ft 7ins thick.

A couple of days ago Mozilla has released Firefox 3.5 preview build, that was availble only to Firefox developers so they could test it and repair many bugs that they encountered. That was also a sign that Firefox 3.5 RC1 will soon be out and freely available for download to all users. And finally the day came and as of today Mozilla made the download of Firefox 3.5 RC ready and publicily available to all internet users.

I recently received a PDF file from my friend, I wanted to copy certain part, text of the PDF file and paste it as a note, however I could not copy the text from the PDF file, making me wonder what was wrong with it.

It turned out that PDF file that I was trying to copy from had some fonts that were not installed on my operating system. After searching for a fix, I found an online tool called “Free PDF Unlock Online Utility (Beta)”.

This is what they say on their page: ‘Some PDF documents prevent the user from copying and pasting or printing it’s contents. This sometimes presents a problem since the author of the PDF might have used a font that is not available in the system trying to read it.’

Recently when I wrote a post about 3 Hacks for Firefox That Will Double Your Internet Browsing Speed that post went amazingly popular and hit front pages of several popular websites and blogs. After many people tried those hacks, they were impressed with improved Internet browsing speed using Firefox.

But some of them asked me how to restore all default settings on Firefox, just in case something goes wrong.

Instead of replying to many emails that I received, I decided that it’s much better if I write a post that lets you know how to restore those settings as they originally were.

Some of the people that had that problem even tried to reinstall Firefox but their settings left unchanged. That’s because Firefox stores all modified settings in a folder, categorized by user profiles and even when you uninstall Firefox, that folder stays intact. So the fix to this is to go to that folder and solve the problem right? Right! It’s simple and easy.
