So ... what happened?! It appears like I should be sitting by a pool, sipping a fruity cocktail. However, the calendar claims that it's back-to-school season. The end of August is an excellent time to optimize that old laptop for your son's freshman year of college, or to find great free software for empowering that new PC with an arsenal of goodies. Check out two collections of excellent back-to-school software: the first (with video!) from honor-roll assistant editor Jessica Dolcourt; the second from our favorite superhero, Power Downloader. In the spirit of the college or university season, Mozilla Firefox released a new version of its open-source Web browser recently. Named Firefox Campus, it's basically the same Firefox browser we likely know and love, prepackaged with three top-notch extensions for students: Zotero, an in-browser research tool; StumbleUpon, a service for discovering new Web sites (also available for Internet Explorer); and FoxyTunes, the uberpopular extension for playing back your digital music. Even for those of us too old to head back for the first day of classes, the season provides a perfect opportunity to learn a few new tricks. Online courses from CNET free.com can teach you everything from building the perfect home video system to learning cool tricks for your cell phone. Google shows off messaging, VR, and Home at I/O here. Have you learned a new skill or become an expert in a new subject online recently? How do you use software to expand your knowledge? ���� ���� 2 ��� ����������. Tell me about it in the comments.
