Yesterday I was browsing via Firefox when suddenly the power went out and to my horror I found that I lost all my Firefox bookmarks and I did not have any backup.
This is actually a Firefox bug which causes a user to lose all bookmarks if Firefox is not closed properly but thanks to a solution provided by anewmorning, you can restore all bookmarks using the smart backup feature of Firefox which automatically makes a backup of your bookmarks daily.
Finally! the most awaited feature for Google Adsense i.e. Adsense for RSS Feeds has been officially announced by Feedburner and is set to roll out to all Publishers starting from next week.
Previously, Google Adsense for RSS Feeds was only available to selected publishers however soon all Adsense publishers will be able to take benefit from the Adsense for Feeds program.
Google recently changed its Favicon from a colorful boxed G to a simple blue g. I personally do not like the new Google Favicon and would love to revert to the old one.
While some users don’t care about Google Favicon at all but for those who frequently use Google services like Gmail, Adsense etc and would like to have the old Favicon back, Ross from SimpleHelp has shared a perfect Greasemonkey script.
Microsoft has introduced a new service called Microsoft Task Market which connects small businesses with skilled freelancers for marketing and other document help such as graphic design, writing and editing, document translation, and creating or enhancing presentations and spreadsheets.
In short and easy words, Task Market allows you to post a job in order to find someone who can do it for you or search for jobs for which you can get paid in return.
The worst thing that Microsoft could create in Windows was the Windows registry. Its so delicate that if you do something wrong with the registry, everything is gone.
This means that registry needs to be backed up regularly so that if there is a system crash due to corrupt registry or invalid system state, we can easily revert the system back to the previous state when we last saved the registry.
When I first got my hands-on Apple iPhone, it seemed to be a quite user-friendly smartphone but it was until when I tried the SMS Text feature for the first time that I realized typing on iPhone is not that easy after all.
Especially with all those Urdu/Hindi and other native language slangs, I wondered whether I will have to sacrifice SMS or the iPhone. Well luckily I practiced enough with the virtual keyboard that I can now type blindly but for other new iPhone users there is a service called TypingWeb which can help you Improve iPhone typing speed.
There is a very cool service called WhatTheFont which lets you detect the font used in a logo or image by just uploading it.
For a test I uploaded the Sizlopedia logo and after a quick scan the service gave a list of almost 20 closely matching font styles. Google OS used the Google logo as a test and WhatTheFont successfully detected its font at once.
Almost a week ago I published some upcoming Features of Wordpress 2.6 which included Google Gears Support.
Including me, most of the other bloggers assumed that Google Gears support for Wordpress 2.6 means it will probably feature Offline Blogging however the assumption was quite wrong as revealed by blogger Amit at Digital Inspiration today.
Google has recently released a browser plugin for Google Earth which lets you browse 3D maps and locations from within your browser. This plugin works standalone means it does not require you to have Google Earth already installed on your PC.
Google Earth Browser Plugin can be downloaded using the link provided at the end of this post. This plugin currently supports only Firefox, IE6 and IE7 and is consumes a lot of memory while running so make sure you have enough RAM before downloading and installing this plugin.
So do you like Firefox for its great speed, enhanced browsing, better security and regular updates? Well! if you do, then its time for payback as the Firefox community wants you to make a pledge to help Firefox make a world record.
It is simple and easy, all you have to do is download Firefox 3 during Download Day 2008 to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours.
