Let’s say, hypo­thet­i­cally speak­ing, you wanted to watch the lat­est episode of 30 Rock but didn’t know where to turn because your VCR (VCR? What’s that?) is bro­ken and you haven’t been able to fig­ure out the whole down­load­ing tv shows off iTunes or any­where else on the inter­net (*cough*). You’ve heard of this web­site called Hulu but any­time you go there it gives you this message:

I really like Fire­fox 3 and have always used it as my default web browser on both the Mac and PC plat­form. How­ever, the way that Fire­fox han­dles PDF files is some what of an annoy­ance. If you are like me you too will find it rather odd then that when in Fire­fox and you click on a web link to a PDF file it will auto­mat­i­cally down­load the file and then open the PDF up in Apple’s default Preview.app. Now the eas­i­est way to solve this prob­lem is the go ahead and start using Safari. How­ever, one of the rea­son I use Fire­fox is for the amount of add-ons, exten­sions and cus­tomiza­tion you can do in it. So as usual their is a Fire­fox exten­sion which adds this fea­ture. (I believe their is an exten­sion for pretty much every­thing) This sim­ple exten­sion adds the abil­ity to view PDFs directly into Fire­fox. You can down­load the Fire­fox exten­sion here.

Google has (finally?) added video and voice chat capa­bil­i­ties to their gmail ser­vice. To enable the ser­vice, just visit this site and down­load and install the plu­gin. You’ll have to quit your browser once it’s down­loaded before you can install it — but don’t worry, it will prompt you if you acci­dently leave Fire­fox open.

Then, it’s just a mat­ter of wait­ing for one of your con­tacts to have installed it them­selves so you can try it out!

You can tell one of your con­tacts has the video plu­gin installed because they’ll have a lit­tle video cam­era icon by their name in your con­tact list like this:
