Where’s Spotify’s Web App?
I love web applications because all I need is a connection and a browser to run them. When I have to install something on my computer, it better be worth it. Spotify, the newest music service to hit the US, has debuted with much fanfare and I think it mostly deserves the hype.
Firefox 4: More Chrome-Like and Snazzier
For all of you who are using Firefox as your main browser, get ready for version 4.0 to be coming your way! I’ve recently upgraded to the Beta version and here’s some screenshots for you to enjoy!
IMO, Firefox is better than Chrome. Feel free to voice you opinion in the comment boxes below. Why do I like it? All the add-ons. For example, I don’t think I could live now without Firebug. I know Chrome has similar tools built-in, but I feel they aren’t as intuitive as Firebug. What do you think?
Firefox has definitely taken a page from the Chrome book with this latest release. You can see the browser window now is minimized to give more emphasis on the website content you are actually browsing. This is great, and I applaud them for “copying” Chrome on this UX enhancement. Also, I noticed they moved the “Open in New Tab” as the first option when you right-click on a link rather than being the second. This will take me some time to get used to, but again, a good move in the long run as it will save me .2 milliseconds when clicking now. Thanks Firefox!
Want to Download the Beta?
I hope you consider downloading the Beta version of Firefox 4: Download Firefox 4 Beta. You won’t regret it, Firefox is a great web browser for all users.
Adobe: Can’t launch Dreamweaver CS5 | Mac OS Fix!
In my previous article on the site: Nothing happens when launching Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac I discussed my workaround to fix this problem. Basically, it was removing the Configuration folder from the hd/users/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en-US/ directory. This would allow you to start Dreamweaver again because it would create a new “configuration” folder. But the problem was, Dreamweaver would eventually act up again and by the time a couple weeks rolls around you’ll have dont this process 4-5 time. Thanksfully, Adobe has heard the communities’ cries and they have released an update for Mac Dreamweaver users.
COD Black Ops PC Memory Leak Widespread
Ok so you just finished downloading the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops and you’re all amped to get it booted up right? Now you get into your first multiplayer game after that tedious step of setting up your controls and by this time you’re gripping the mouse with much anticipation ready to get on that first kill streak. Oh wow, a new server browser. And what’s this? It actually loads the servers fast… nothing like that POS Bad Company 2 server browser that takes forever and looks like it came from 1999.
No IE6, You Can’t Play!
More and more sites are blocking access from IE6 users, and I couldn’t back them anymore. Not only is IE6 a bad choice for security reasons, if you have done any web design work you also know what a pain it is to comply to. Simply state, it breaks our cool tools!
