    Usually goes like this:

    Firefox
    µTorrent
    Anti-Spyware/malware/virus
    Gtalk
    iTunes
    VLC

    The only state that doesn't suck.
    Linux is shitty with flash, and flash games have a noticeable amount of lag in the linux version.

    Rofl, I just defragmented and my computer said I was as good as I've got. Now, this Defraggler is telling me that I've got 55% fragmentation....

    Mozilla Prizm, my favorite Firefox addon ever.

    Basically, it converts websites into applications that live in their own window, with their own icon and everything. I use it for facebook, hypem, thesixytone, and grooveshark.
