[HUMOR] The Truth about Microsoft Windows menus.

I actually did not know that ex US president George W. Bush used to seek help from the MS Office assistant. Nether did I know that the MS Office assistant is also a great lawyer when it comes to writing suicide letters. You'd not believe how fascinated I am to discover the real meanings behind MS Windows menu items and choices.

I never thought that Redmond would actually hide the real Windows menu dialogs from us and mask them with good looking and nice sounding language. I really feel sad for all Windows users who think what they are seeing is the real thing. Poor you folks. Check out the real menu dialogs for yourselves and fire off some letters to Ballmer right away.

Facebook Filter for Firefox - Cut out the junk from friends.

Unless you just descended from space, you probably are on Facebook just like me with a hundred or more friends. However, not all of your friends' activities interest you nor do you want to see in your newsfeed. I for instance do not play Farmville or any of those fun games on Facebook and thus not really interested in how much potatoes a friend harvests or how many cows she milked.

If you are like me, then the Firefox addon called Facebook Filter is your answer. Facebook Filter lets you control which types of posts appear in your Facebook News Feed. You can choose to show or hide the following types of News Feed posts:

  • “Is now friends with”
  • “Became a fan of”
  • “Joined a group”
  • “Was tagged in an album”
  • Events (announcing events and attending them)
  • Applications (all except those you choose to exclude).
So if you want to make some sense of the most popular social network in the world today but at the same time cut out the junk you don't like, then Facebook Filter for Firefox is a great choice of an addon.
