The Ultimate Guide To Speeding Up Firefox On Netbooks

When it comes to speed, Firefox has been traditionally behind rival browsers like Chrome, Opera and Safari. Firefox is slow.

…rendering.directwrite.enabled and double click on it to change its value to true (it’s false by default).
Next, find mozilla.widget.render-mode, double-click it and change the value from -1 to 6 in the box that appears. Click on OK.
That’s it! Close the tab, restart Firefox and get along with your work.

Do note that there is a reason hardware acceleration is disabled by default for now it’s obviously not polished enough, and you may face a few more crashes here and there. But if you ask me, a slightly unstable usable browser is much better off than a totally unusable browser. Again, this feature is likely to be enabled by default in the final version of FF 4.
6. Block Unwanted Flash and Scripts
This point conflicts directly with the following point, but for a valid reason. Some websites have tons of garbage Flash content and javascript, all of which will absolutely kill the timid Atom processor. So you should totally go install the NoScript add-on for Firefox, that blocks scripts and Flash content on all…

Flash 10.1 running on Android 2.2 using android phone

Flash 10.1 running on Android 2.2 Froyo using a Nexus One‎; the next Google I/O May 19 - 20, 2010 code.google.com And Top 10 Reasons Why Steve Jobs and Apple Reject Adobe Flash In the spirit of Top Ten lists, heres Steve Jobs Top Ten Reasons for Rejecting Adobe Flash (for the irony-impaired, please note that this post is not based on the truth): #10: Adobe Flash is too proprietary to run on any of Apples beautifully open systems (except for all Macs). #9: Adobe Flash is too much of a power hog to run on any of Apples battery powered devices (except for all Mac laptops). #8: Very few applications are affected by Apples rejection of Adobe Flash (except for just about all social games, just about all enterprise software packages with modern interfaces, and just about all financial services and health and education web site applications). #7: Very few web sites are authored using Adobe Flash, as compared to HTML5 (except for 85 of the top 100 web sites in the world). #6: Very few iPhone, iPod, and iPad users would like Apple to support Adobe Flash (except for an overwhelming majority, including my son). #5: The Apple community has, over the years, benefited very little from Adobes support (except for just about every graphic designer in the world, who generally use Adobe products on Macs). #4: HTML5 will someday (in several years) be able to do just about everything Adobe Flash does today. #3: Someone managed to hack up a very old game to be able to run in HTML5 (in a lab …

Create iPhone, iPad And Android Apps Over The Web

Last week, the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco took place, where start-up Yapper showed off their new service to InformationWeek. The new service will allow ordinary non-programming folks to create their own mobile applications. The service will allow anyone to create iPhone, iPad, Android and even Blackberry apps in nothing but the web browser.

The new service will allow ordinary non-programming folks to create their own mobile applications. The service will allow anyone to create iPhone, iPad, Android and even Blackberry apps in nothing but the web browser.
There’s a catch though, Yapper isn’t for developing just any application. You won’t be able to create your own game, it is for creating applications that grab RSS feeds. You can change the colors, icons and splash page of your application but the basic user interface is not changeable.
The Yapper service costs $199 for Blackberry and Android apps and $299 for iPhone and iPad apps. There is an extra $50 fee if you want to submit the application yourself rather than having Yapper be the publisher. If you want the output to operate as a web app that works on both iPhone and Android, it will be an extra $99 plus $50 if you want to send alerts to the end users.

Geohot Challenged: Comex Promises Easier Jailbreaking Tool

Comex’s Spirit is userland jailbreak, which is a browser-based technique, which allows you to jailbreak your iPhone simply by visiting a site from Safari and agreeing to jailbreak your iPhone.

…iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch and even iPad running on OS 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01.
If the claims of Comex are really true as it has been already approved by Dev-Team member then this competition of the geeks will be over and the award definitely will go to the userland untethered jailbreak called Spirit.
Comex’s Spirit is userland jailbreak, which is a browser-based technique, which allows you to jailbreak your iPhone simply by visiting a site from Safari and agreeing to jailbreak your iPhone.
As userland requires you to visit a website using safari to jailbreak your iPhone then what about those iPhone 3GS users who are stuck with iPhone in recovery or are not able to access safari.
Geohot jailbreak is more practical than Comex’s userland technique and we all know that the jailbreaking tool of Geohot is going to be more reliable….

Future of Gaming Series Continues with Free Game: Continuity

DIYgamer continues its series of interviews with the Student Showcase Winners from this year’s IGF. This time around it’s Continuity, the free browser puzzle game.

…rk. We were pretty
free to explore what we wanted, which we really appreciated.
DIY: What other notable projects had you guys worked on before getting to this point?
Continuity: This is the first game we’ve released. We worked on an XNA game in the Spring of 2009 that we never released.
DIY: Where did the initial concept come from? Had you considered any other mechanics that just didn’t work with the type of puzzle game this became?
Continuity: At first we thought the game might be a lot more complicated than it ended up being. We thought there might be physics objects to move around, enemies, and more ways to interact with the tiles. In the end, we decided that given the time we had for the project we wanted to really focus on the core mechanic and create something that felt finished and complete.
DIY: At some points, the levels are quite challenging and take a few tries to get through. Can you talk about balancing the difficulty in the project?
Continuity: We all felt that a Flash game has a very limited…

…Good news for those looking to replace the stock Android browser on your device. The first beta version of Firefox for Android (Fennec) will be released in February 2010. Currently, Firefox is among the most popular PC browsers, and my personal favorite. We have seen Fennec operating on the Nokia N900, but now with Firefox for Android the company’s plans go even further.

Mozilla’s Fennec browser for Android OS has been in the works for awhile but with its imminent release (beta version), its time to get psyched!…
