Firefox 2.0 is now officially released!


Firefox 2.0 is now officially released and can be download at Mozilla Firefox page. Check out the release note here
One thing I noticed from this version is Mozilla had set the the minimum width for each tab and this is because of the tab close button on each tab and readability of the tab title. So when I open more than 12 tabs(number of tabs may varies according to the monitor's screen resolution), there are two horizontal scroll button came up(next to very left and right of the tabs to view those tabs that couldn't fit under the Firefox window. I used to open more than 12 tabs in one Firefox window and I don't like that horizontal scroll bar to view the hidden tabs. I've hunt down under about:config and I was able to edit the minimum tab width to 50(default is 100). I edited that minimum tab width because I don't really care about the close button (I use All-in_One Gesture to close the tab)and readability of the tab title. Here is how if you want to edit the tab minimum width, here is what I did.
- Type about:config in your Firefox browser
- Filter with browser.tabs.tabMinWidth
- Double click on it and set your desire value(default is 100 and I set it to 50)
- Done!

A Cello Rendo by Ethan Winer

This is an amazing video of Ethan Winer playing 37 separate cello parts to create one song. He even plays the percussion parts on his ... all » cello. It was recorded on 23 tracks using 37 plug-in effects. He spent hundreds of hours on this project so its worth a listen.

How hard drive works inside

This video shows how hard drive works while you are doing something on your computer. Watch this video and read the following paragraph from Wikipedia and imagine if you shake/bang your laptop or desktop while operating(while disk is spinning at at the speed of 5400 r.p.m or 7200 r.p.m or more.)

"Hard drives have a mostly sealed enclosure that protects the drive internals from dust, condensation, and other sources of contamination. The hard disk's read-write heads fly on an air bearing which is a cushion of air only nanometers above the disk surface. The disk surface and the drive's internal environment must therefore be kept immaculate to prevent damage from fingerprints, hair, dust, smoke particles and such, given the sub-microscopic gap between the heads and disk." source: Wikipedia

Google Reader rocks with new features


I tried Google Reader a while back and it was just a regular rss feeds reader. Today google updated the Google Reader with new features and google got me with this one again. List view will show your subscribed feeds just like your Inbox in gmail. In other word, in will be yoru Inbox for the web. I just play with it for a while and I found add to folders to your feed which is similar to lable in gmail and it has keyboard shotcuts too \:D/. I am not a big fan of rss feed before, since I found out this google reader with new features, I will be subscribing many feeds instead of using Firefox Open in tabs feature(which I like a lot). Another feature that doesn't have in gmail is you can tag each items from the feeds and share(make public not just with your firends) your tags. Thanks google for innovative FREE products like this. :-)

Peek-A-Boo Comments

I've seen this post for a while back on blogger Help site and del.icio.us it. (del.icio.us is a verb. It doesn't have ed at the end for past tense like "put" because it doesn't look good when ed is added) :-). I've been busy and didn't have much time to play with this peek-a-boo comments hack. Today I got a few spare time and here it is. I'm going to post two comments to this post by myself to test how it looks.

Edit: there is some problem showing up del.icio.us tags on left panel. So I've to set it back.

Edit again: I think I did it! Because the manual explained as in general and I've to tweak it to work with the template that I'm using in this blog. If you are having a same problem, hit me up with an email and I will help you out(of course if I can). Have fun! :-)

The Hard Drive Turns 50 today, Sept 13, 2006


IBM first introduced on September 13, 1956 and the capacity was a mere 5MB stored across fifty 24in platters. Today, it's not just the size of hard disks that has increased. The performance of fixed disk media has also evolved considerably.
