If you are a fan of the Iron web browser and Chrome’s built in pdf viewer, you are in luck. For a while, I assumed there was no way to get Chrome’s pdf viewer to work in Iron. Turns out I was dead wrong. According to a commenter from my <a href="http://wiredhut.blogspot.com/2011/09/srware-iron-web-browser.html" target="_blank">SRWare Iron post</a>, it is as simple as copying and pasting a single file into Iron’s directory.</div>

According to Microsoft, UAC is supposed to add an extra layer of security for system files, and therefore minimizing the damage malware can inflict on infected hosts. From a security standpoint, this is indeed very good, but unfortunately it can sometimes interfere with the way certain programs run.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not too long ago, I decided to re-enable UAC on all my pc’s (I initially had it disabled because of the constant and annoying prompts!!) and came across a bug. Long story short, I had Anvir Task Manager running on one of my older laptops, but after enabling UAC, Anvir’s temperature monitor tray icon stopped working properly. It just would not show the temperature when Anvir was set to run on startup (on a manual start, everything works but I would have to confirm a UAC prompt). I eventually found that the reason this was happening was because Anvir needed to run with admin privileges in order to work properly. My guess is that Anvir’s method of checking the motherboard’s temperature requires elevated permissions to work. So we need a way of getting the program to run on startup, but with elevated privileges. Fortunately, there is a clever workaround to bypass UAC using Windows’ own Task Scheduler.</div>

Say you are reading a book at a park, and you have no internet connection whatsoever. Then you come across a word which you need defined immediately. You proudly take out your dumb-phone and text “define <insert word here>” to Google. Seconds later, you receive a text with a definition of the word, and you get a pat on the back.<br>

I cannot emphasize enough the power of search engines when it comes to troubleshooting. I have been having some issues with Windows Media Player 12 for a while now. Song albums just refuse to display when a song is playing, and visualizations do not work anymore (they are enabled, but all that shows is a black screen). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I found some suggestions online to reinstall Windows Media Player altogether, but that is burdensome. Fortunately, Google led me to another quick and easy fix, which I will share here for anyone else experiencing similar problems. Apparently, just resetting Windows Media Player to default settings will fix a lot of problems. Here’s how:</div>

If like me, you recently updated your copy of Chrome/Iron to version 15, you may have noticed a slight delay in the initial loading of the first page when you open the browser. Fortunately, this only happens at the very first page when you start the browser afresh, but it is still very annoying. If you look at the browser status bar down below during this two second delay, you will see a strange “Resolving proxy…” message. After a short encounter with Google, I came across a simple solution.</div>

Buried under the heaps and stacks of shortcut icons lie the often neglected wallpaper. You keep telling yourself you will clean out the desktop one day, but let’s face it, that is never going to happen. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something in the taskbar similar to the “show desktop” feature that will instead hide icons? AutoHotKey makes this possible.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now I realize you can right click the desktop, point to View > uncheck Show Desktop Icons to accomplish the same task, but that takes too long! Plus, you will get a brief overview of how to work with AutoHotKey scripts in the process. By the end of this tutorial, we will have created a program (which you can place in the taskbar) that will hide desktop icons in just one click.</div>

Now it is time to introduce Chrome’s little brother, SRWare Iron. Iron is marketed as a privacy-oriented version of Google Chrome. It is based on the open-source Chromium project, which is what makes up Chrome for the most part. In other words, Iron’s developer took Chrome’s open source code and made his own fork of the browser, <i>minus all the Google junk</i> (and other controversial privacy issues). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br>

In case you haven’t noticed, I have recently added a RSS Subscription Form off to the right. The reason for this is because I realized that it is probably very annoying for readers to keep checking back to see if new content has been posted. My output rate of articles is approximately once per week, give or take. But I cannot forever guarantee that consistency because of life’s demands. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So if you prefer to just receive updates by email, the RSS Subscription Form to the right will come in handy. Every time a new article is posted, you will receive an email notification of this within a day. If you want to subscribe through a feed reader, simply click on the “Subscribe RSS” text next to the very cool RSS icon (yes, I spent hours looking for that!). *The RSS Feed can now be found up top on the navigation bar.*</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Also, I am running out of topics to write about! Well, not quite, but that day will come. Just to give my readers a little sneak preview, I have planned upcoming articles on some software, Linux, Android, Windows tips, and maybe a little programming. So if you have anything in mind, specific or vague, but just anything, you would like me to write about, feel free to spill your guts in the comments. </div>Jyohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944647891059167395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65887327927868685.post-45122045804872698332011-09-18T02:55:00.020-04:002012-11-14T11:29:59.381-05:00Google Chrome, The Innovative Pest<div class="MsoNormal">

Chrome has been steadily climbing the ladder in popularity, while Firefox is slowly but surely tumbling down.

Except, you do not want the background image to be visible. So you open up Paint, and start erasing around the section you want. Then you discover that this will only make the background white, not transparent!! Sometimes, all we want is the dang image itself on a transparent canvas, so that we can use it on say, a website, and it will blend nicely. Don't fret, you will learn how to do just that after watching the video below. You will be needing <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" target="_blank">GIMP</a> to accomplish this.<br>

Today is your lucky day. Today is the day I unveil the sacred domain I have kept to myself all these years. What, you may ask, is this man talking about? Imagine a world, more specifically the World Wide Web, where free RAM thrives in limitless wonders. Yes, be prepared to experience the ultimate phenomena of free downloadable RAM. With infinite memory, never will you have to close your applications ever again. <o:p></o:p></div>

One thing that irks me about the new Firefox look (FF 4+) is the bookmarks bar. Just take a look below and you will see what I mean:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a couple of unnecessary things here like the Subscribe and View Bookmarks Toolbar options. But what bugs me most is the Unsorted Bookmarks option which appears out of nowhere! You cannot delete or move this element up and out of the way, unlike in Firefox 3.</div>
<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do not use Unsorted Bookmarks nor have I ever met anyone who does. The menu item is an eyesore, takes up space, and gets in the way. That’s not to say Mozilla should get rid of this feature all together, but at least allow users the option to customize the bookmarks bar to suit their needs. After all, that is what Firefox is all about – customization.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fortunately, there is a way to hide these unnecessary bookmark elements; without installing any add-ons and slowing down the fox. We will modify the appearance of the Bookmarks Bar through the userChrome.css file.</div>

This is probably one of the funniest comics I have come across on the web. It was sketched up almost 5 years ago, so it is old, but still gold. But to truly appreciate the joke behind this comic, you would have to know some Linux.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, sudo is a command that temporarily gives a user elevated rights to perform certain actions in Linux. Think of it as "Run as administrator" in Windows.Jyohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944647891059167395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65887327927868685.post-54927322704474781622011-08-04T12:58:00.020-04:002013-03-29T01:14:45.098-04:003D Analyzer - Graphics Card Emulator<div class="MsoNormal">

Ever been in that situation where you just <s>spent countless hours downloading a game</s> shelled out a day’s work worth of greens for a game, only to find out your computer can’t handle it? If you are economical like me, you probably have one of those low-end computers that you can find in stores for no more than half a grand. We do what we can to save money. Sadly, most of these low-end computers do not come equipped with a decent graphics card, and this means bad news for gaming. Most pc games nowadays require a dedicated graphics card (i.e. not integrated); otherwise the game will look like garbage or simply not run at all. Fortunately, all hope is not lost. Let me introduce a software called 3D Analyzer.<br>
