Automatically checking site updates with the Check4Change plugin for Firefox

I have to admit that I’m not a Firefox user on my Mac, but on Windows I use IE for one thing: to download Firefox. However, last night when Apple had a link on their site to the new iTunes 10.3 download which brought you to a page which actually linked to 10.2.2, I was frustrated. The only way to prevent myself from obsessive compulsively refreshing my screen was to get a Firefox plugin that automatically checked for a change in the download page.

Getting back on the web when you lose your browser

Computer failures usually don’t happen often, but when they do, most people don’t know how to fix them. This happened to my mom a few months back; she was doing a Mac OS X update when she had a power failure. The updater was updating her browser at the time, so when the power came back on and she rebooted her system, she didn’t have a browser. Without a browser, there was no way to download it again.
