If you’ve ever tried holding up a lighter during a slow song at an Elton John gig you’ll know how painful it can be. Keeping a flame going for more than a few seconds can lead to very hot fingers. Smartphone Lighter offers a pain-free solution to the problem.

Smartphone Lighter produces a flame effect on your Windows Mobile phone in the form of an animated screensaver. From a distance the effect is quite realistic and it gives out quite a bit of light. However, on closer inspection, some of the frames in the animation are a little jerky.

There are no options or settings to speak of in Smartphone Lighter. It would’ve been nice to have a choice of lighters or even the ability to adjust the height of the flame like you can do on a real lighter.

It might stop you getting your fingers burnt at a rock concert, but aside from this, Smartphone Lighter is pretty pointless.

In 2006, Microsoft discontinued making Windows Media Player for Macs meaning there was no longer a tailor made player for the WMV format for OS X. Fortunately, there are a few free and easy solutions to this problem:

Flip4Mac Plugin This is probably the easiest solution as it enables QuickTime to playback WMV files.  This plugin created by Telestream allows you to import, export and play Windows Media video and audio files on your Mac. The Flip4Mac WMV plug-in also works with other QuickTime based applications such as iMovie and Final Cut Pro meaning you can even edit WMV files on Mac too.

VLC Media Player The most versatile player out there allows you to play WMV files as well without the Flip4Mac Plugin. However, this is just a playback solution – it won’t allow you to edit WMV in QuickTime supported applications such as iMovie and Final Cut. The great thing about VLC Media Player however is that it’s lightweight, fast and can handle almost any media format.

MPlayer OSX This player emerged out of the

Linux may not be the most popular OS, but it’s users are generally vociferate in their following. If you’re a fan of the open source platform then you’ll love the stylish Dark Linux Theme.

This minimalistic skin adds a jet black background to your display, with the word ‘Linux’ embossed in neon blue. The striking text will leave no one in any doubt as to where your loyalties lie in terms of operating system.

The Dark Linux Theme makes a number of other changes to your Series 60′s user interface. Among these is the addition of a simple, bright, white analog clock skin, some gorgeous Linux-style home screen shortcut buttons, and a series of well-rendered menu icons.

It might not be as colorful of fancy as a Mac or Windows phone skin, but the Dark Linux Theme is ideal for any self respecting open source fan.

Crane wars is an almost ready for release game from Flashbang studios, the quirky team behind Paper Moon, Off Road Velociraptor and Minotaur China Shop. You can play a beta 3 version of this browser game here. You control a crane at a construction site, and have to build tower blocks, while watching out for attacks from a neighbouring crane company. You can throw objects at the games on Blurst, Crane Wars is compelling mainly because it’s a cool and ridiculous idea. It was originally scheduled for release today on the Blurst site, so if you don’t fancy playing the beta and want to wait, it shouldn’t be long… As with all Blurst games, you’ll need the Unity browser plug-in.

The on-board accelerometer in the iPhone is opening up a whole new interface for gaming, and Fastlane Street Racing proves how it can be used to good effect for driving games.

Fastlane Street Racing puts you behind the wheel of a dream machine in a 3D driving game along the lines of console classics such as Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Need For Speed, etc. The novel thing about Fastlane Street Racing is that your car can be steered by tilting the iPhone from one side to another. Going faster or slower is achieved by holding either the accelerator or the brake buttons on the interface.

The controls take a while to get used to, and movement feels a little slow and jerky at first, but you do get used to it. What’s more, you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor in the Options menu, where you can also customize the position of the gas and brake buttons, and tinker with various other settings.

In terms of its presentation, I thought Fastlane Street Racing was pretty slick. The 3D graphics are well rendered, the animation gives you a real sense of speed, and the high-octane music doesn’t get too annoying. The sound effects in the game bothered me a bit though, especially the crash noise, which sounds more like a fork being dropped on a plate.

Fastlane Street Racing is definitely enjoyable to play and is very absorbing. There’s not that much longevity in this Light version though: there are only two difficulty levels, both of which make it pretty easy to win races; you can only play as one car; there’s only two courses, etc.

Nevertheless, Fastlane Street Racing certainly demonstrates a novel, yet workable new concept in racing games, so it might be worth investing in the full version.

Browsing videos on YouTube is great fun, but what happens when you find one you’d like to view offline, keep or transfer? Although you can embed or link to videos you like, YouTube doesn’t actually give you any option to download them. Don’t worry, because some of Firefox’s great add-ons (plugins that you can use to extend your browser) can do the job for you, all without even having to open a second program. Let’s take a quick look at some of the best.

YouTube Video Downloader does exactly what it says on the tin. The ‘keep’ icon, located in the status bar, opens the video details in a new tab, prompts you to chose a format (FLV, 3GP or MP4), name the video and download it. That’s it! Easy, right?

Another discreet option is Easy YouTube Video Downloader – it simply adds a button underneath the information displayed to the right of YouTube videos. Like its predecessor, it supports FLV, 3GP and MP4, but without the new tab is possibly even simpler to use.

Softonic.com”>NetVideoHunter takes a different approach, opening a window containing a list of the videos you have been viewing. The main selling point is that it ‘collects’ videos as you browse them. At the end of your session, it presents you with a list of the videos you have just seen, allowing you to pick the ones you want to download. It also has the added advantage of being able to download from video sharing sites apart from YouTube, such as Dailymotion and Google Video, and includes a player, so you can view videos even after you have closed the original page.

If you are looking for a little excitement, try YouTube Downloader. This experimental add-on is so thrilling that you have to check a box to say that you understand the risks – although when I tested it, it didn’t seem too wild. Youtube Downloader lets you download videos and music, and not just from YouTube. Like NetVideoHunter, it presents you with a list of possible downloads, and then lets you select the ones you want. It also has a search function which will automatically search for the video title on Google.

If discretion’s not your thing, maybe the Ant.com Toolbar is what you are looking for. Although it does install a toolbar on your browser, it’s only to accommodate the extra options it includes – a search tool, download manager, video player, download explorer and a ranking function. It is also more customizable than some of its competitors, allowing you to toggle a small number of options.

Whether you’re a dedicated video downloader or just someone who browses occasionally, you’ll find an add-on to suit. Read the reviews, make your decision and start downloading videos from YouTube today!

The inbox counts don’t work at all and clicking on an account simply takes you to the Gmail login page instead of your inbox. According to one blogger, this is due to a security update in Firefox 3 which blocks the plugin and may have affected other Gmail plugins as well.

The only answer is to downgrade to Firefox 2 but that’s not exactly ideal. If like me, you’re lamenting the loss of a trusty Gmail add-on, here are some functioning alternatives to try.

Gmail Notifier Designed by Google, Gmail Notifier is all you need if you just need to check one account. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser. A Mac version is also available. Note that it doesn’t work if you’ve got the Google Toolbar This is worth installing for several reasons of which one of them is the Gmail checker. It isn’t very sophisticated however. An open envelope notifies you when you’ve received new mail and clicking on the drop down arrow next to it reveals all the subject headings of mail in your inbox. Clicking on any one of them, or the envelope itself, takes you to your inbox. Shame their is no inbox count reading or customizable sounds for when new mail arrives though.

Gmail Notifr A Mac only extension which sits in your Menu bar and supports multiple accounts. Gmail Notfr displays in digits how many e-mails you have waiting for you. It conveniently supports Growl alerts and doesn’t install any daemon background processes unlike Google’s Gmail Notifier. However, you can’t define how frequently you want it to check for mail (so it might be a bit slow at notifying you of new mail).

Gmail+Growl This works with Gmail Notifier and as the name suggests, is a very simple plugin for Mac users that uses Growl alerts to notify you of new Gmail. Unfortunately, it only supports single accounts but the great thing about using Growl is that you can customize the alerts.

GmailAssistant A third party Windows only application which supports multiple accounts. If you want a Gmail checker that’s completely independent of your browser on Windows, then this is a good choice although the configuration is very limited. You can’t define the frequency you want it to check for new mail or save your preferences for each account.
