Tips And Tricks For A Healthy PC
"Lets Get Started"
Turbo feature in Opera
Opera 10 Beta version has been released and it comes with new
features and one of the important update in this version is the turbo
mode. Turbo mode in Opera 10 increases your internet bandwidth speed on
slow connections using data and image compression technologies. This
feature uses Opera proxy servers to compress the traffic before it
reaches the Opera browser installed in any PC.
This turbo
feature can be configured on your Opera and to do this, right click on
the bottom left corner icon and select configure Opera Turbo.
In the configure box, you can set the mode of turbo. It can be configured to be automatic, On or off.
Automatic: Turbo will enable only if it detects a slow network
On: Optimize pages with Turbo so they load faster on slow networks
Off : Load pages normally
Notify me about network speed: Network speed indicator becomes visible within the Opera Turbo icon on the Status Bar

you can change the theme by doing the following simple things. Gmail
User Interface (UI) hasn’t been changed ever since 2004?. Even though
Google has been constantly rolling out new features for its services,
it has never bothered to update the UI for many of its services. For
example, take a look at how Gmail looks in its present state.
Gmail
is high on features compared to the other email services out there, but
it seriously lacks on the GUI front. Google may have its own reasons for
not rolling out a new look, but that doesn’t stop us from customizing
it our own way, does it?Here’s how a customized Gmail looks.
There are other kinds of looks available too, but we’re only focussing on the one by Globex Designs.

highly recommended)First, visit the following URL and download and

Mozilla Firefox 3
User Facing Features in Firefox 3
Places: Bookmarking, Tagging and History Places
is our new infrastructure for storing bookmarks, history, and other
information about Web pages. We are working on interfaces that allow
users to quickly bookmark pages:
Tag pages:
Bookmark “saved searches” in Smart Folders:
We
believe these interfaces will allow users to organize bookmarks in the
ways that work best for them, ranging from constructing traditional
folder hierarchies to quickly searching a Web 2.0-esque tagspace.
Places will also enable a lot of really innovative bookmarking, history
and annotation extensions.
Malware Detection Similar
to how Firefox 2 blocks Web sites that are potentially going to try to
steal your personal information, Firefox 3 will block Web sites that we
believe are going to try to install malicious programs on your
computer. Mozilla is coordinating with Google on this feature.
Content Handling Firefox
currently has different dialog boxes for dealing with content depending
on if it has a MIME type, is a protocol, is being delivered through
RSS, or is an application being downloaded. In addition to unifying our
internal architecture for content handling we are also working on a
unified content handling user interface. The user will have a
consistent UI for selecting the actions they would like associated with
content, regardless of if the content is a file being download or is a
microformat embedded in a Web page.
