iTunes Plug-In: DockArt

Here's a little Friday fun in honor of the upcoming weekend. I got tipped to this via the TUAW. It's a plug-in to use with iTunes called DockArt, and it does something pretty cool when you install it. It simply displays the album cover art (if you have it) of the iTunes track currently playing in your dock. Pretty sweet, huh? Oh, and it's free. Gotta have, now.

System requirements listed for the plugin are: iTunes 4.1 or higher, and QuickTime 6.4 or higher. Apparently, the latest version available does work with the latest release of iTunes, 7.1

Helpful Firefox Extensions

Welcome to November, all...mmm, I can almost smell that turkey cooking. Here's one for all the Firefox browser fans out there (yours truly, of course...and you have upgraded to FF 2.0, right?). One of the nice features of the way FF is put together is how you can add functionality to the browser very easily by just downloading and installing an "extension" in FF talk. Need an FTP client? Weather forecast? Want to know when a new GMail message arrives? There's a FF extension for that.

Well, econsultant.com has put together a pretty comprehensive list of FF extensions, sorted by category. I haven't tested any, but I don't think FF v2.0 should have any problems with them. At most, it may prompt you to download the latest version of the extension.
