PDF In-browser plugin for Firefox 5 to 7

I have been searching ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4 to find a compatible plugin for reading PDFs in the browser. Firefox seemed to be updated too quickly, and plugins became outdated. But I've found one that works, finally, even with Firefox 7:

It is by Schubert, and it is compatible with OS X versions 10.4 - 10.6, and Firefox versions 5 - 7.

I have tested it on 10.6, 64 bit, Firefox 7.

Enjoy

If your school or workplace is like mine and sadly does not have a DC++ network, you need to be a bit more creative to share your music and videos. Fortunately, Mac OS X makes this very easy. If you can get a bunch of people together to follow these steps, you can get a nicely sized (and legal) sharing network. Pictures and a tutorial after the jump.

Study and Concentration Aid - Rain and Music

For a while now, I've loved listening to rain storms as background noise to help me concentrate on my work. Now, I use Rainy Mood, at the same time, and it really makes a lot of music sound cool.

I'd suggest trying out one of
