Rhythmbox album art search is a plugin which searches the web for the album
art of the currently playing song using google search apis. From the
resulting images, one can then choose an image to set it as album art.
The plugin is based on the context pane plugin. For screenshot, download and
installation instructions please see

Hi Guys,
I do not know if you consider this as an achievement, but Microsoft Word
2007 can open and read all odt files.
They have provided a add-in converter. If you have MsOffice on your PC
and you double click an odt file, it gets the converter (once only) and
installs it in MsOffice
I found this when a business associate to whom i send a odt file was
able to open it without issues :-)

Indian government's unique identification project – in the areas of
user interface, multi-lingual systems, mobility and secure database
management.
The research arm of Microsoft is in talks with Mr Nandan Nilekani,
Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India, to explore
options.

Are there any editors in Linux which allow the editable window to be split
as in Microsoft windows? I have tried gedit and openoffice. Both do not have
this ability yet.

Then enable the splitview plugin in the gedit preferences.
The user interface took some getting used to-- the tabs can be toggled
--both vertical and horizontal split are possible.
