One my favorite (and most used) extensions is CoLT (Copy Link Text). It a simple extension but such a time saver. It adds a couple items to your context (right-click) menu, Copy Link Text and Copy Link Text & Location As. The first option copies copies a hyperlink’s associated text to the clipboard. The second option copies copies both the hyperlink’s text and URL to the clipboard in the format you choose: HTML Link, Plain Text or one of three custom styles (defaults are BBCode, Fuse Talk and Wikipedia).

Earlier this week in my Which will come first? entry, I mentioned there were rumors IE7 would be coming out sometime this month.  Today, IEBlog has announced one last Expert Zone Chat this coming Thursday (10/12) prior to the release of IE7.  Now, this is hinting IE7 could be coming out as early as Friday. Again I should stress if there is a release this week it is only going to be for on demand installs. This means users will have to download and install the application themselves, in lieu of it being pushed through as a Windows Critical Update. …

A brief discussion regarding Firefox memory issues came about on CyberNet News in regards to the Internet Explorer 7 Release About The Same As Firefox 2 article.  One of the comments left by ‘Dave’: “In my opinion, we could see quite a few people move from Firefox to IE7. In the pre Firefox 1.5 days, there was this huge Firefox movement. But during the 1.5 builds, I’ve seen tons of people grow tired of the memory leaks and other bugs associated with Firefox such as the copy/paste bug.” In the month or so now that I been using Firefox 2…

The Internet Explorer blog recently announced, IE7 will be released sometime this month. Mozilla still plans on releasing Firefox 2.0 on October 24th.

I am really excited to see Mozilla partnering with Sun Microsystems to add Mozilla’s Lighting functionality in the future to OpenOffice.org (OOo). For those not familiar with Mozilla Lighting, it is a Thunderbird extension which adds the currently missing calendar and scheduler features to Thunderbird. This is going to give OOo an edge over Microsoft as presently OOo does not have scheduling/calendar functionality.
