Wonderful apps that are quiet handy to have

Now google chrome has some amazing extensions, themes, and much more to it. Some of my personal favorites are grooveshark attack. Its an extension to for the popular radio website Grooveshark.com. Then you have Facebook disconnect. Normally I wouldn't recommend this, but it has become a big hit with me since the skype fiasco. Another that I started falling in love with is Evernote clipper. I absolutely adore this, but I'll continue about that here in a bit. And last, but most certianly not least, I present Lyrics For Google Chrome. I love songs, but tend to not know the words. So this little app saves me the trouble of searching around for em.

I have been running Grooveshark Attack for well over two years now. Now you may ask "What is Grooveshark Attack?" well I'm here to tell you Billy. Grooveshark attack is a slightly upgraded  version of the standard grooveshark that the basic user gets. So how is it better? Better organization of songs, playlists, and it just looks a lot sleeker. Instead of the using the bottom right hand corner of the screen to open up playlists, Grooveshark attack shows your entire playlists on the right side of the screen. This allows for quicker access and helps the user organize it better. Now it does nothing to the sound quality, Its pretty much the same, but its still a good little thing to have. I use it almost on a daily basis.

Now Facebook Disconnect is... okay... I use it mostly to keep it off of my skype account. Which only works half the time. But, ever since I installed it messages stopped popping up 24/7 on my skype. That's why I like it. But hey, its not for everyone and its somewhat useful I guess.

Mother duckin' Evernote clipper has become one of my best friends. Ever since I started playing Warmachine I've found it hard to save the model pieces that I need or like. So this year we were introduced to Evernote clipper. By jove has it been amazing! I have been able to save large columns of information and pictures that its absolutely mind boggling.  With it I have been able to organize each piece to a certain section and have been able to plan several strategies. It also helps me learn about other factions. Trust me, it comes in handy.

Lyrics for Google Chrome isn't essential. I just find it useful for when I'm watching a video and a song I don't know pops up. If I like it, then I just click the Lyrics symbol and, of course, gives me the lyrics to said song. It saves me a few minutes for searching for the song. That and I don't have to pause the video while it runs. When it pops up, it pops up in the right hand side of the screen and will give you the full song, along with its name.

Are they useful? Somewhat. Are they needed? No. Unless you want to use everclip, that thing is AMAZING.  Still, there pretty cool and I highly recommend to try them. 

Also, my pal James hill has a thing or two to add in. Check out his blog here: Now google chrome has some amazing extensions, themes, and much more to it.

For James Hill

There are a lot of Google chrome extensions.  There are so many extensions that you cant even count them all.  Evernote Web Clipper is one of the best ones. Use the Evernote web clipper extension to save things you see on the web into your Evernote account. It even lets you search through your notes.  A lot of people use Facebook.  There is Photo Zoom for Facebook extension that integrates directly into Facebook so you can see the larger images of photo albums, profile photos and more whenever you hover over a zoomable image! You do not even have to click on the pictures.  It is the best way to view facebook pictures.  Do you like to watch Youtube videos.  Staring at the computer screen all the time can really mess up your eyes.  Google lights off extension can fix that. It makes the entire page  dark, so you can watch the video as if you were in the cinema.  With one click on the lamp button, the page will be fading to dark. And automatic focus to the video. Click again, the page will return back as normal.  The fourth extension is cool.  Website destroyer lets you pick a wepon and shoot at what ever page your on.
