Now that I’ve got a few readers, I’m going to re-introduce what I think is my most important Firefox Extension following my pre-req Foxmarks and Search Status. I originally wrote about this back in November but feel I didn’t get as much feedback as I was hoping for.

Found this excellent article on the continual decline of the music industry and where they went wrong. How they didn’t take advantage of Napster when they had the chance, how not accepting digital downloading as the future is killing their business and how CDs are going to become obsolete in the next few years.
