Mac users have a choice from 4 main browsers even though there are many more. There is Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Camino. All of these browsers are great and only vary slightly. I'll start of with my favorite browser, Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox Has support for Add-ons which some of are incredible, and though it is not the fastest it still is fast. Next on my list is Safari. Safari

In order to get free music using playlist.com, you must have Firefox first. I suggest the newest version but the older ones will work too. Firefox can be found at Firefox.com. Once you have Firefox, you need to get downloadhelper which I have talked about in other tutorials. Downloadhelper can be found at Downloadhelper.net. From here click download this extension then you will need to restart

I am eventually going to turn this blog into a website at Howtoforcomputers.com. I am still going to maintain this blog but eventually the website will be the main website. You can check it out now but there will be many changes to come. As of now I have no content up, just really a homepage.

Hulu.com is a great way to watch free movies and tv shows online. Hulu.com has clips of movies and tv shows too. During most of selections on Hulu.com there are very small commercials (15 or 30 secs) a few times. There are around 6 in a 45 minute tv show that is normally 1-hour on tv and around 4 small commercials during a 22 minute tv show, normally a 30 minute tv show without commercials. I

The iPhone is coming out the 11th and I am exited. I think the software will get a lot better review than the new phone itself. When I watched Steve Jobs's keynote presentation, I was much more exited about the software than the new 3g capabilities. Though the internet is faster, it sill takes over a minute to load a page. I am very exited about the app store and wish I was under AT&T so I could

StumbleUpon is a great way to find new websites and to spread sites that you discover. StumbleUpon adds a toolbar to your Firefox or Internet Explorer browser, and after you set up an account and fill in what you like, you are ready to "Stumble." Stumbling is not falling but it is actually when you click the large Stumble! button on your new toolbar. This takes you to a site that was submitted to

In OSX leopard, there is something called stacks which shows can show you many things including the most recent applications. This involves a couple of terminal hacks though so make sure everything valuable is backed up on your computer.

The new version of firefox has some great new features. First, open up your browser and type in firefox.com. Once the page loads, slick download and the download will start. When the download is finished, if on a mac, open up the .dmg file and then drag the application into the applications folder. If on a PC, open the .exe file and run the installer.

I received my refurbished Black Macbook and I love it so far. It is fast at everything and everything was ready right out of the box. So far, I have no regrets going refurbished and I most likely never will. iWork 08 seems great and I didn't know that you get 2 serial keys (two people can use the product legally). My printer is also working incredibly. I am yet to get my rebate on it because it

There are many ways to track a shipped item through various shipping companies. One way is to copy the tracking number that was given to you and put it into Google. I am sure this works with FedEx but I don't know about anything else. Another way is to go to the shipping companies website (for example fedex.com) and then put in your tracking number. Lately, I have found a website called

I have recently bought a refurbished Macbook from Apple's refurbisjed store. I bought the black macbook for only $1300. Along with the laptop, I bought a 4gb flash drive by crucial, a printer, iWork 08, and a mini-DVI to VGA adapter so I can connect it to my external monitor.

One way of making money online is through Google Adsense. Google Adsense puts small ads on your website or blog that have related content. You make money every time someone clicks on the ad. You need a Google acount and a credit card for this to work. I recently found this site and I thought it was very helpful. Please post a response if you have a comment or question.

The World Wide Developers Convention is happening June 9th. There is expected to be a 3g iPhone with better access and other perks. They will most likely refresh the laptop line, not just update them.

The folders that come standard in leopard, can be very boring. To change the icon of a folder, first you have to find which icon you would like to change the folder to. There are icon packs throughout the web that have many icons that would work well in a leopard OS. Once you have the icon you want, find the folder you want to change. Then, right click (ctrl click), and select get info. In the

DVD Ripping is the process of taking a DVD from a disc and putting it onto iTunes, Windows Media Player, or any other video player. To rip DVDs you will need a couple things.

Torrents are a great way to get what you need on a computer. I suggest two applications depending on what Operating system you have. For a PC, I suggest uTorrent. This bittorent application is very basic but can be customized to your needs. For a Mac, I would suggest Transmission Now that you have a torrent application, you need to find a torrent to download.

An advantage of Rocketdock is that instead of a window being minimized to the taskbar on

For both free albums and movies, megaupload.com is perfect. If you visit megaupload.com, you will not be able to find any other files. What you will have to do is got to google.com and type in site:megaupload.com "what you want." For example, if I would like the album T.I. vs. T.I.P., I would type in site:megaupload.com T.I. vs. T.I.P and I would get this page. The first link looks pretty good
