After what seems like forever, Google Music is finally out of beta. The program has been invite-only for some time, but now it is available to everyone. One fear many users had was that Google would charge once the service went public, but it appears as though those fears were groundless, because users can still upload up to 20,000 songs for free. To sign up to Google Music, simply head to  music.google.com  and log in with your Google account. Users will need to download the Google music program on their computer and at the moment, you must be resident in the United States. If a user has an enormous music collection it will take a while to upload, but once it does, users will be ready to listen to all of their favorite music anywhere they want. In addition to going public, Google has also added a music store on the  Android market . Their music store offers more than 13 million tracks. Music can be purchased from a computer or an Android device with the application. At this

Firefox has been steadily losing ground to Chrome and Opera in the past few years. I find this sad, as Mozilla were groundbreakers at the time and rescued us all from an IE-only world. I, myself, switched to Chrome a while back, but now that  Firefox 8  is out, I decided to give it another chance. But Firefox is not perfect (it’s OK, neither is Chrome). So why not make it better? Here are 5 excellent add-ons, which when combined, will revolutionize your Firefox experience. You can, of course, try only one or two, you’re still bound to feel the difference. Mar Mod Mar Mod probably deserves an entire article of its own. This is an enhancement add-on that tweaks so many things, it might take you a while to remember all that it’s doing. Remember or not, you will feel the difference right away. Just from this screenshot you can see that the orange menu has turned into a nice icon, a  “Restart ” option has been added to the menu, along with a new “ Addons ” menu which lets you a

When it comes to keeping your website or your blog healthy and strong in search engine listings, regularly checking for broken or otherwise bad links on your website is a very good idea. Not only is it good for your site’s overall standings in search listings, it’s also good for your visitors. No one wants to encounter broken links on a site – it’s a sign of a poorly cared for website. Then again, regularly checking your site for bad links can be a tedious chore. We’ve covered a few tools here at MUO that can help you stay on top of things if you have the time, like Ann’s article on  Xenu Link Sleuth , and Saikat’s article on  Hyperlink Checker . Those are good solutions, but again, they require your time. Checking for bad links takes work. A better solution would be to set up an automated script on your own server (or any computer connected to the Internet) to check your website for bad links and then issue a report with all of the results. Better yet, schedule it to run weekl

A lot of times when you need to get something done on your computer and think that perhaps there’s a program that can do it for you, you most likely go to your favorite search engine and research away. By the time you’re an expert looking for the best free software, you might find yourself a fan of freeware, so you might even look forward to receiving updates on cool new programs. Sound familiar? Looking for software online has actually become easier these days. Do you want to see a comparison of all similar software for a specific task? There’s an app for that. Do you want to see all alternatives to a specific program? There’s an app for that too. You probably knew this from using the many rich repositories of software available on  FileHippo, SourceForge, etc . However, there are other more recently developed applications with interesting approaches to listing software that might just help you find what you need quickly and painlessly.
