Here is a small, free application, Blue Lock that locks your computer if your Bluetooth enabled Mobile Phone (or any Bluetooth enabled device) is not detected. .For example, if you register your Bluetooth Mobile Phone with the program but then move away from your computer desk, the program will detect your phone is out of range and automatically lock your system, requiring the password to be entered to reactivate the system. The system locking is a standard Windows API call and is perfectly safe; it's just the same as if you locked the system with CTRL-ALT-DEL.The application works with Windows XP/Vista and requires no installation, and the only thing required is to take Bluetooth from the PC and the mobile phone, and link the application with a mobile from the PC.
Instructions: Start Blue Lock, and after about half a minute a list of discovered Bluetooth devices will be displayed in the window on the right of the screen. Click on a device and its ID and hardware address will be copied to the "Lock Device" field at the bottom of the screen. The program will now loop continuously, and if that device is not detected the system will immediately lock up. Note that many Bluetooth devices have a long range and therefore it may still detect your device even if you are the other end of your office. Download

Bookmark Previews adds an album view or cover flow view to Firefox bookmarks as shown in Apple Leopard operating system for viewing browsing files. If you saved websites as bookmarks for future reference, this extension will create a small snapshot of it. This will be used to show a Cover Flow-like interface for flipping through your bookmarks when you open up your bookmark manager.This extension will works in both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3, although it may act a little different between Firefox versions because each has a separate book marking system.. When you first start you will be able to have the extension create previews for you in the background. You can also perform this task later by Choosing 'File>Create Previews' in the Bookmarks Organizer. Your previews are stored as .jpg files in a folder named 'bookmarkpreviews' located in your profile folder. When you uninstall the extension (via the extension manager) this folder should be deleted.
However this extension is still in sandboxed, means in beta stage. To use it you should have an account with Mozilla. You can install it from here.

Another very important reason is messy CSS file of your blog or site.

What is a messy CSS file? CSS file with multiple spaces, space around character like :{}:, multiple empty lines, space between selectors, unnecessary semi colons, etc causes an increase in your blog’s page loading time.
So it is the time to optimize your template. Just copy and paste your CSS file at CSS Drive. last year I published an article about it, now it comes with some bugs fixed. This online tool compresses your CSS file in to a smaller unit.
In the case of Blogger copy and paste the whole code that lies in between <b:skin> and </b:skin>.Remember to back up your template before doing this. Just choose a normal method (or liter or super compact) to compress the CSS file. Thanks to David
