Top 10 Unofficial Gmail Apps and Add-ons
Click to viewGmail's huge success owes itself in large part to the wide range of applications, browser add-ons, styles, scripts and bookmarklets that work with it. From the get-go Google's stayed out of developers' way and turned a blind eye to unofficial Gmail add-ons, even ones that may very well violate its terms of service.

How to create smoke in Photoshop
The Abduzeedo weblog has a detailed guide for achieving an attractive smoke effect using Photoshop.
