Firefox Tips for Speed & Performance

Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

- Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
- Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
- Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
- Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
- Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Limit RAM usage. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.

Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.

Apple Updates the All in one IMac

So just as of recent the Apple store went down and being the geeks we are most jumped at the new I-Mac's conclusion and boy were they right. The All in one i-macs have been upgraded just as the macbook and macbook pro with the "Penryn" Intel Core 2 duo processor. This and a new Nvidia Geforce 8800 GS with 512 MB of Vram has been added to the 24 inch model which now runs at 3.06GHZ! and prices at 2,119$. As of design changes there still the same dazzling i-macs just beefed up hardware and faster specs, mainly these penyryns are the big hit to the i-macs which will show speed increases in overall system and application speeds. The models still stand at two 20 inch models with 2.2 & 2.4 GHZ and now two 24 inch models at 2.8GHZ & the new 3.06GHZ with the new feature of the nvidia card to the apple store. A elegant machine now taken to the next level and with this in mind and with the whole penryn processor migration we're surely hoping to see the future macs such as mini, and possibly the air with these new speedy processor models. So i'll end it with that and a major props to apple on the update and with WWDC coming up who knows whats next....

Search Me!

Ever wanted a fancy alternative to google or Yahoo? Well now there is! Search me! Search Me is a search engine just like google but search me has something that sets it apart from the rest of them. What is that, Cover Flow. Thats right Search me displays the page of the site ur looking in cover flow. It works on Mac, PC, and Linux. It is still in beta but it is still very interesting to use. I think that in the future this site might catch on and some might make it their default search engine over google.
