Software products that you think are really good

Anyone know of a way to do IE-style resizing in Firefox? In IE, when I click ctrl+mousewheel up, the images, frames, etc resize, whereas in Firefox basically the text is the only thing to resize(sometimes the frames resize vertically only, I think).

-firefox - browser sync
i use two main PCs for browsing the interweb; when you close one, it transfers the pages you're on to google, and when you open the other one, it grabs the URLs from google so you can pick up where you left off

-google apps for your domain - gmail (integrated) plus start page
great email, accessible anywhere, easy start page generation

-www.orb.com
stream media from my home PC anywhere

-safemine + freephg = datamining and lots of it

-"my computer" disk management in Vista
it has let me create "dynamic disks" very, very, easily, so i have very easily put together four 150gb disks to make one 600gb disk (having one disk is easier for orb, which allows me to access my content from any internet pc)

-holdem manager
awesome poker db program
