Firefox

Just an FYI - Firefox is the bomb.

I've been using it for 2 years now as a replacement for Internet Explorer. I highly recommend you do so too.

It runs faster, provides the same Internet experience as Microsoft Internet Explorer, and people have written a bunch of cool plug-ins for it.

Plus, since it's not full of security holes, it's faster. The antivirus programs don't have to spend a few seconds scanning each page, like they do in IE.

Get it and you won't regret it. Click here for all you need to know.

Audiosurf


Really awesome little game that creates a racetrack based on your MP3s.

It examines a song and makes a rising/falling/twisting track that you fly down. You collect color blocks and get points.



From 1up.com:

Color-matching squares on a grid by colliding with (also music-synched) traffic makes Audiosurf feel like an odd combination of Wipeout and Klax. It's more than fun enough, and it gives you a goal to shoot for. Hell, there's even some pride to be earned by becoming the best player in the world (or the only player) at Frank Zappa's "Dinah-Moe-Hum." That isn't to say that this is just another visualizer, though -- not by a long shot -- but the real joy here is in getting a dynamic interactive light show and something to do with your hands while you listen to your favorite records.
