For Windows Microsoft Office Only:
If you’re like me, you can’t live without tabbed browsing in Firefox. What if you could bring tabs into Microsoft Office?
Well now you can. Using this Microsoft Office plug-in OfficeTab, instead of having separate windows for each open document, you can have tabs for all your open documents in either Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
As Lifehacker points out, you’ve got to wonder why Microsoft doesn’t include this feature by default.. maybe something to look forward to in the next version of Office?
The Lifehacker article also warns of a Visual Studio prompt, however, after installing it on my machine I had no such errors and it works problem free.
To download it you can visit the Google translated download page at OfficeTab or alternatively I have provided a download link here. (OfficeTabv1.20.zip)

Lifehacker once again presents us with a great Gmail tip to make your internets better.
Because Gmail ignores periods in your email address, you can sign up for multiple accounts on websites that only allow you to register an email address once. Just insert a period anywhere in your Gmail address.
