Tit bits

Hi there, This time i decided to just update my blogs what i have written.

First, Opera 11 vs Chrome 9 vs FF 4 beta 11 :
Firefox has installed Do not track.. Just go to advanced preferences and check that you do not want to be tracked. And there, I saw some changes with FB ads, though i dont know whether they are really participating. It will take some time to get used to these, so that all of those websites will change to Do not track status. Anything else new? I dont think so.. It seems all the others are same.

Chrome 9 is also fast now contrary to 8, and they already have a Keep my opt-outs add on.. So they may be the pioneers in Do not track feature right now. And all these browsers, now made a simple change.. They have added a feature called pin tab, which when u resume the browser again, starts with that. Its sleek and simple. I do that with firefox as well as chrome.

Opera 11? I dont think so. It seems they have lost in this. They dont have this Do not track status. But one thing is that, I finally figured out which was troubling me with Opera. The scroll function. It seems that i finally figured it out. Smooth scrolling. Uncheck it, and your scroll wont run away from you. ( Just check out my previous blog, you will understand what i am saying).

Facebook and https : And i would like to tell you something about facebook. I dont know how many of you are aware of Mark Zuckerberg's account getting hacked before. So what he did was, introducing https not only for login page, but wherever applicable. Your account settings has this Option. Check https if you want to. The problem, is that many applications dont follow https. So if you are playing games, then it wont work in that. So you need to use http.. :( Sad , i want to use https. ( For those who dont know what is https and http.. http is simply hypertext transfer protocol; simple terms, unsafe. https, secure http.. it is safer.

Yeah, I am going to add about the jet lag. Yes, i am hit with that, so i am sleeping for 4 hours and getting up as bright as i can. Many of you can ask me, you should be sleeping in day time. The thing is I am unable to.. I cant sleep even if i want to.. May be it was because of the exam that is coming up. Really i am stressed out, with a complete flop in Usmle,  which has doomed my chances there; and the upcoming exams in India which are really stressful. Hope i get out of it soon.
