The ISO files are rare breed and they need to be mounted on CD’s or DVD’S to make any use, so it’s almost imperative for you to know how it’s done. There are quite a few softwares which you can use to do this but Virtual Clone Drive is perhaps the best out there. The fact that it’s a freeware makes it a completely irresistible utility to mount .CCD, .DVD, .IMG, .UDF, .BIN files and not just .ISO files.
There is a utility that can be used, called Virtual Clone Drive. This utility will let you mount .ISO, .CCD, .DVD, .IMG, .UDF and .BIN files. Download the utility and start the setup process. You will need to install the software from their website and then complete the installation with all the defaults.
The Virtual Clone Drive only takes 1 MB space on your hard disk so it should not bother a lot to those guys who keep their hard disks full with movies and games. You will be prompted to to restart the computer for the settings to take place. On restarting you will find an entry by the name of Virtual Clone Drive under Removable Disks in explorer.

The freedom that Firefox provides to its users is unparalleled in its peers and the ability to customize it or personalize it makes it lot more powerful and personal. The latest Firefox version is smoother and faster and the developers didn’t took long in making their add-ons compatible with the latest version. Firefox 3 still banks a lot on add-ons for its success.
I am writing down some add ons which do not get listed very often but deserve a try nevertheless.
1) WOT is short for web of trust and it makes our browsing experience safe and secure by warning the users about any site which has received overall negative ratings on the four parameters of Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, Privacy and Child Safety.
2) Tooltip is perhaps the best dictionary add-on out there for Firefox. The need of an English dictionary is compelling many a times and opening another tab and searching the word on google is not something most of of us really enjoy.
3) Tab Mix Plus is one of the best add-on to manage multiple tabs on your Firefox browser. It has been updated to make it compatible with Firefox 3 but the official Firefox site is not showing it as compatible. So you need to download it from the homepage of the developer. This add-on allows you to open tab in one click aka Internet explorer and allows you to undo up to 10 closed tabs. (more…)

Adobe’s new Apollo Platform is now being released in the beta version (the previous Apollo release was a developer preview). It is now being called Adobe Integrated Runtime. Calling in short as ‘Adobe AIR‘ .
Adobe® AIR™, formerly code-named Apollo, is a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to use their existing web development skills to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
The new version fully supports HTML and Ajax, meaning Apollo applications can be created without using any Flash at all. They are also releasing an extension to Dreamweaver web development software.
Adobe is also now saying that AIR will be officially launched by end of this year. Our previous coverage of Adobe AIR is here.
