Last night I was working with my brother on his project and there was a lot of material needed to be copied from websites to Word. It was a tiresome process to copy and paste the required material, neglecting few lines in between, again copying and pasting few lines and so on. It was then that I tried to search for something that can ease this everyday process of copy-pasting. I found the clipboard managers. A lot of good ones.
A clipboard managers does the basic task of storing the information for the temporary period of time during the time you copy the content and paste it somewhere. Now the built in clipboard of Windows stores one entry at a time. This is where clipboard managers come in. They let you temporarily store multiple bytes of information, maintains a history, and lets you paste that content one by one. I used some of these clipboard managers but I’d favor ‘Ditto’ clipboard manager.
‘Ditto’ lets you save multiple items in the clipboard and lets you retrieve them one by one at a later time. Unlimited amounts of data can be stored in clipboard using ‘Ditto’. The most advanced feature of ‘Ditto’ is that, it lets you copy information from one computer and paste it to another.
‘Ditto’ offers lot more features like:
1) Keeping synchronization of clipboard data within multiple computers.
2) Ability to encrypt data when transmitted over the network
3) Foreign character support
and many more…
It may seem like a not so useful utility but let me tell you, you will realize its importance when you’ll truly need it. It is definitely a time saver.
Some other clipboard managers that I came across: Clipmagic (8/10), Clipboard Recorder (8/10), Sanvient (6/10) and ClipTorrent (6/10). Use them and make copy-pasting a breeze!

If you are a little too geek then you must have figured out what I am saying. So a little explanation for the learners: Firefox sometimes have a tendency to leak memory mainly due to a buggy installation or due to some bad add-on. This results in Firefox running like a sloth and usually crashes in the end. This can be stopped by restarting Firefox. Here I am going to show you how you can bring down the Firefox’s memory usage without restarting it.
