This is my first time installing anything Microsoft into my Firefox and for simply that reason I actually looked at the End User License Agreement, EULA. Here's a snippet of what happens, when Microsoft issues a plugin [...]

Open source, Google, WordPress, Firefox, Mozilla, Microsoft
I might change them later, but right now they are some [...]

I'm loving OpenSecrets.org more and more.
I just saw that they now have a special feature, where you can search for donors to the 2008 presidential election.
