Get Gmail Inline Images
I received an email with 62 photos for a video project I’m working on. Instead of the images being an attachment, I got them as inline images. There’s not a button or an obvious option to get all the inline images, so you have to right-click each one and save them individually. That’s just way [...]

Serial Portal
While I have Open Office & Google Docs to open MS Word files, sometimes you just want the original program. And honestly, who’s going to pay for a 2003 version of MS Word when it’s for non-commercial use?

Ice Spike
