I just recently installed Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 and the main drawbacks to installing beta versions of Firefox is that you will lose your Addons and Extension ability because those don’t support the beta versions. Although it may be a hazard for myself (running beta code), it’s been fine for me for the past week or so. It is just very annoying that I am not able to access my Addons or Extensions. This fix will help you bypass this “Incompatible” message that Firefox gives you. Read more »

Many people may not realize this but many image files, such as JPEGS can carry lots of personal data like the camera it was taken with, the time, the place, and other image type stuff.  If you are one of those paranoid people who do not like private information shared on the internet such as Flickr, then you can remove these things easily in Vista.  Read more »

The tutorial shown below is for users who is annoyed by iTunes DRM and wants to strip it off because they want to play it in other devices, use it as background music in a home video, or anything else that DRM limits it to do.  Many people know you strip off the DRM of iTunes music by simply burning the song to a CD, and ripping it back over, losing very little quality (if settings are correct).  This method does the same exact thing but you will not need a CD-RW disc, a CD ROM drive, or even need to burn anything!  It’s that simple.  Let’s show you how to perform this.

We are going to be using a program called TuneClone.  TuneClone is basically a program that acts as a virtual CD drive that allows you “burn” MP3 from iTunes and “rip” it.  TuneClone “lies” to your computer saying that you have a CD-RW drive that it will burn to (like Alchohol 120%).

Daily Tip! How to delete Hiberfil.sys safely!

It happens to most users of Windows XP. One day you are searching for a file or cleaning up the PC’s hard drive and you encounter a huge file - hiberfil.sys. Normally located at C:\hiberfil.sys, its size can vary from 250MB to over 1GB. You try to delete the file - it’s not a good idea to delete files you don’t understand - but Windows won’t oblige anyway. That’s why you are here. Windows XP has a feature that is not very well documented and it will be totally new to users of older systems such as Windows 95 or 98. This new feature is called Windows hibernation. Instead of shutting down and restarting your computer, Windows takes a snapshot of everything running on your system, copies it to the hard drive and then turns off most of your hardware. To wake up from hibernation you normally move the mouse or hit the spacebar on the keyboard.

In theory, it is supposed to be a quick shortcut or power saving option that allows you to leave your PC in suspended animation until you are ready to work again. However, in practice, most people find little time difference between shutting down and using hibernation. For people who use drive imaging to backup their system, the hiberfil.sys file can bloat the backup files - making them larger (sometimes over 1GB bigger!) and therefore slower to copy/restore.
