As we all know that Firefox 4 is about to get released and its beta version is already out. But as we all know that beta versions are not meant for using addons with it. But this version is having the new javascript engine that will run smooth with all the latest heavily loaded pages. its also having very clean and polished look and also menu bars are hidden so you will get extra viewing space.I really wanted to use it but as i cannot work without some necessary addons i was sticked with version 3 only.
 But i got my way.

Today i was surfing labnol and found very good tweak by amit there. He shared very good method, infact 3 methods of enabling addons in firefox 4

He wrote as:

"Option #1. Mozilla earlier created the Compatibility Reporter add-on for its users to test and report the compatibility of add-ons with various Firefox releases.

The interesting part about this add-on is that it will automatically configure your Firefox to install and use add-ons that are otherwise incompatible with your release of Firefox.

Option #2. If you don’t like installing one more extension to your Firefox build just for enabling older add-ons, here’s a workaround.

Type about:config in your browser address bar and agree to the warning message. Now right click inside the browser, choose New –> Boolean, type the preference name as extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b and set it to False.

That’s it. Your old add-ons will work with Firefox 4 and you will also be able to download and install any of the other incompatible add-ons from the Internet. If you interested in the technical details, check this mozillaZine entry.

Option #3. This is the geekiest option of them all but one that doesn’t require you to change anything inside Firefox.

You can download the extension (the .xpi file) to your computer, unzip it and change the value of em:maxVersion under install.rdf file to 4.0.* – now pack the extension again and drag-n-drop to your Firefox browser. Please refer to mozillaZine for detailed step-by-step instructions."

This really worked. Thanks Amit for sharing such cool method.

THis was shared by arun. SmartTouch – a new application for Nokia 5800, which allows to control PC via bluetooth.

This is perhaps the first of its kind program for a platform with touch screen.
You can control the computer in 3 modes:

1.The media, which can be managed by any player on your computer. While the available buttons are: "play / pause", "next", "prev", "mute" and volume buttons.
2.The keys, Up,Down,Left, Right, Esc and Enter…Can be used to control many applications on PC including games.
3. The Phone can be used as a mouse by using the touchscreen and sensors!

Just run the client on a computer, which requires no installation, and run the program on your phone. At the moment, supported by the driver and microsoft widcomm.
For SmartTouch on the phone you want to set Python, no less than version 1.9.3

This is a very starge problem that i faced when i upgraded this blog to the latest 3.0 version. It had happened in past as well so i was not amazed to see that and the solution was somewhat already known to me so i didnt took much of time and effort that it took last time when i upgraded to version 2.7.

When i upgraded to wordpress 3.0 this time the text formatting bar was missing. It looked like:

This looked really pathetic as i didnt had any option to format my text posted here. So as i did last time, i tried intalling various plugins and finally FCKEditor plugin worked for me. After installing it it looked like:

Simple yet working solution . i hope the other people facing similar problem may try this method and see if it works for them Please reply if you face any problem. Thanks for reading my post.

Almost all of us just complain about our old desktop systems that its not performing as good as it use to do before. Well there are a lot of reasons behind it. Some software related some hardware related. We will discuss Software related issue in some other post but in this post i will bring to your attention a very common and simple issue.

You might have noticed with your cpu fan that it makes a lot of wheeming noise.. it seems like its running at its maximum speed and at that time your cpu performance degrades and it starts hanging. It may lead to increase in temperature and sometime even turn off your system abruptly.

Its mainly because the heat sink [meant for cooling down your processor] is full of dust and fan is not able to cool it down as dust forms a layer on it and prevent the air flowing through it.

The heat sink look like:

The metallic item placed under the fan is the heat sink.  When its become dusty it looks like:

Now just imagine how can air can pass through it? Its time to clean it.

Just use your vacuum  cleaner and blow away all the dust from it. It will help the air to pass through the heat sink and will cool down the processor. Also you cpu will not make noise. Your processor will last longer and also the performance will not go down. Do it time to time and see the difference. Thanks for reading my post. I will be happy to read your comments on my post.

Well, there can be a lot of variations in thinking of me and others. So far whatever i have learned in this tech world gave me a clear idea what you should know if you want to be a blogger or a programmer or just a person who have a decent understanding of computers.

The minimum reuirement is ANY computer language. I would suggest C as it is one of the easiest language to learn. You may also learn c++/java if you wish. If you want to learn gui based applications then VB will definitely help you.

Next comes the WEB.For web technology HTML is must and one of the easiest languages to learn. Also try to learn Javascript along with it. Please note that Java and Javascript are not the same. Javascript is a client side scripting language.

The next thing you should know is any server side scripting language. I would suggest PHP as it is just like C codes inserted between HTML tags. So if you know HTML and C then its just a cakewalk for you.

One more thing which you will require very frequently is some query language to understand the flow of data from the database. The easiest of all is MySql.

You may also learn some more languages as per your understanding and requirements but the ones i have mentioned here will definitely help you. If you want to add something then feel free to comment here. Thanks for reading techian. Stay tuned. Much more to come.

Many of us, who like to surf anything and everything on web, sometimes require to visit some pages which we wish that we should have visited it with a mobile phone browser, or may be with internet explorer only, may be for looks or may be for functionality.

There are various softwares available for such purposes but the one i like most is the free addon to mozilla firefox, User Agent Switcher, works great for me. You may switch your browser to  internet explorer, an iPhone, or even as a google bot. The best thing is Googlebot/2.X is the user agent of googles site bots, now not only does this make u look anonymous it bypasses the login on some websites.

Just see the huge list in the below image

It works with all the firefox released till date.
