Resolving That Firefox Leak…

Thanks to Forever Geek I finally found a way to reduce the memory hog leak on Firefox that was killing me every time I was online.

Here are the instructions for those of you also afflicted with the “Slow-mo-fox” disease.

  1. type “about:config” (no quotes) in the browser.
  2. Find browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer
  3. set it’s value to “0″

This reduces the memory, but Firefox can also continue to steal your thunder even when you close it down. These next tips will help put an end to that issue.

  1. Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
  2. Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
  3. In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
  4. Now select True and then press Enter.
  5. Restart Firefox.

My computer already feels a heck of a lot faster. Now I can actually write about my life.

Note: It looks like this may have resolved my earlier issue with Firefox before too. :-)

Video: A Little Girl Inspires YouTubers

Anyone who watches YouTube will realize how negative a place like that can be. But fortunately, it doesn’t always have to be a place filled with sarcasm, debate and cussing.

Her name is Jacey. She is ten years old and suffers from leukemia. But her positive attitude has inspired a community to reach back with a million hugs.



Things like these make my eyes water (and my mouth smile). Jacey’s story (before this YouTube entry) seems to have inspired even the big guns at Microsoft to fund a trip for her to Disneyland.

In a world full of depression, items like these make my day (if not week).

Update: The best video response that I’ve ever seen. Aloha indeed!

What Google And The Borg Have In Common

It looks like the Google Earth team has recently added a new Geographic Web layer which basically allows you to see comments about locations from Wikipedia, the Google Earth forum and Panoramio.

Google is becoming like the Borg (except a friendlier version of them). Assimilating all information and making it usable for the masses.

But with this latest addition to Google Earth, should it be classified as a social network like MySpace and Orkut?
