Right click on the album cover. Select options > System Tray. Then un-check "Balloon Tip".

As far as ad-blocking, Opera does have an ad-blocker. Here is a site you'll need for all the info.

In what way, shape or form are any of these true? And no, "it's free" isn't a reason why one product is superior to another.

Here are 2 that I think are great for Mac users:
UnRarX
iSerial Reader

 

[flipnkraut]

Digsby>pidgin>trillian

cpu-z should be in the list

OK, regarding this CD Art Display. I've tried using this numerous times to connect with my WMP songs. I'm VERY particular about having correct genres, featured artists, etc. so I really don't want to change to iTunes and I want to have the CD Art displeyd on my desktop similar to iTunes, how do I work this CD Art Display thingy?

You don't have to change to iTunes to use CD Art Display. As far as having CD Art displayed on your computer similar to iTunes... if you're talking about CoverFlow... that's media player dependant. So you'll have to either get SongBird or MediaMonkey if you don't want to download iTunes for that functionality.

.

the only reason I passed on open office is because I heard the spellcheck in MSOFFICE was better.
firefox plugins only > opera
mplayer = VLC, but i prefer MPC because of its simple display. I only use VLC when i cant play something in MPC

Office interface is light-years ahead & more intuitive. Let's not even get in to the features that each component offers compared to their OpenOffice equivalents.

Name one useful thing that you can do with a Firefox plug-in that you can't do with Opera. And by useful, I mean improve your browsing experience... not "omgz I can has expressionz skins!".
