Important Things 1999

Today, remove most plugins in Firefox V3.5.2 in order to improve its startup speed.

It seems having no effect after clearing up.

Firefox V3.5.2 starts up  slower than IE V6.0, and often crashs.

I have reported many times about the crash related with bookmark’s operation since V2, it’s still in this version.

After you create a bookmark or folder in left side bar, move it immediately, this operation will make Firefox crash.

If you tired of Firefox, Mathon will be a good choice to replaceV3.5.2, URL: http://www.maxthon.com/

I still use Firefox because of its powerful plugins, such as Xmarks, Alexa, and Zotera.

Firefox V3.5.2 is still in pre-release version, it’s hurry to publish, and harms its reputation.

Plugins in my Firefox V3.5 now,

1. Alexa Sparky

2. Gmail Manager

3. IE Tab

4. Java Quick Starter

5. Xmarks

6. Zotero

all of them are active.

Today,  new change of iGoogle was found.

I searched google’s help in order to find how can go back old tab style. No answer was found.

This change makes iGoogle displaying with more compact content, it is very difficult to browse now. And, there is a large margin left when scrolling down the page. It’s more like a personal web site, maybe like Laotudou.com. Hehe…………

Left nav bar takes more space and gives little information, make it a failure change according  to google adsense’s view.

Google did NOT consider user’s feeling, release such nasty style. It’s NOT google’s style. What happened in Google?

Maybe we should try to use MS’ bing, or other simple search engine, to avoid google imposing more garbage in our little screen in future.

Left navigation bar

These new features made it important to look more closely at how we help you find and use content on iGoogle.

The new left navigation shows you all your subject tabs (for Sports, News, Music, etc), neatly organized with the gadgets for each tab listed underneath. We think this new format makes it much easier to find specific gadgets (especially as your number of gadgets on your page grows) and quickly click them in and out of canvas view.

In addition, the chat feature is located on the left navigation bar, to give you easy, instant access to your friends.

Updated Firefox from 3.0.5 to 3.5.2. It’s a failure update because V3.5 has a long startup and is not compatible with some website. Also it seemed V3.5 want more CPU.

Now, Plugins and Addons in Firefox  V3.5.2,

• Alexa Sparky(Usally disable)
• FEBE(can be deleted)
• IE Tab
• Java Quick Starter(can be deleted)
• Xmarks
• Zotero

So many things in last month, there is no time for me to update laotudou.com.

EMC got DDUP, it’s funny, now.

China stock market went down in last 4 days, but USA one wake up.

Baidu.com became the biggest search engine in China, overcoming Google. I didn’t agree with this news until I knew there was still someone only know QQ and Baidu. To those people, Internet is QQ for chatting, and Baidu for game and music.
