How to Save Tabs When Exiting in Firefox 4.0
Last Updated on Tuesday, 29 March 2011 01:40 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 29 March 2011 01:40
I’m a Google Chrome user. There, I admitted it! So when I found out (late) that Firefox 4.0 had been out, I decided to go ahead and upgrade my Mozilla Firefox. All was well, except for some incompatible addons, but no biggie — as I said, I am a Google Chrome user.
The new version looked okay…except for one thing. The option to save your tabs when closing / exiting Firefox was missing! This was a feature I loved to use in Firefox so it was bothersome to see it gone. The message box / dialog box that normally pops up when you attempt to close Firefox no longer was there. If I had used the beta or alpha versions of Firefox 4.0, then I’d have been aware of this ahead of time. D’oh!
Luckily, you can easily fix it without having to install a patch, addon / add-on, or extension. Follow this micro guide I created:
Step 1) Open a new tab and in the address bar type in about:config
Step 2) In the “filter” textbox, type browser.showQuitWarning
Step 3) There should be only ONE item in the list now, which is the showQuitWarning option that you typed into the filter…double click this so that it changes from FALSE to TRUE
Done. Easy, right? It *should* be available more easily than this, but for whatever reason was not. That said, it WILL be taken care of by the Firefox development team so do not worry! They listen to their feedback and are already on top of it.

- Microsoft phone app turns normal pics into 3D models
Microsoft researchers are making it easy for anyone to capture objects in 3D with a new cell phone app. Really, there’s an app for everything now. According to the the MIT Technology Review, the software uses overlapping snapshots to build a photo-realistic 3D model. We’ve all seen the 3D photos online that let you look up, down, left, right, and pretty much any angle on the screen. The Microsoft app will let you capture pictures to do just that.

We live in the mobile age. We don’t just want our mobile devices to work, we demand it.

It’s data. Lots of […]

Nvidia GTX 590 Reviewed, Benchmarks, Temperatures, Noise
Last Updated on Thursday, 24 March 2011 06:31 Written by Naota Thursday, 24 March 2011 04:17
At last Nvidia has release the GTX 590, and GTX 590 reviews are out! As I said in my previous article about the release information for the GTX 590,.
I hoped that Nvidia could conquer the issues that AMD had with the noise level. And guess what? They did.
There is however, much more to this story.
Read reviews of the GTX 590 here:

To be honest, that puts people like me in a bind. I am an Nvidia fanboy at heart, even though my current 4870×2 has done me wonders. In a few short words, I can tell you exactly what will effect your decision.
Choose the GTX 590 if….
- You want a quieter video card and aren’t using water cooling
- The 6990 is a little too big for your case
- You are an Nvidia fanboy
- You will make use of tesselation and other Nvidia specific enhancements
- You don’t want to do your own crossfire solution
Choose the Radeon HD 6990 if…
- You want better, scaleable performance
- You want to use slightly less power
- Noise isn’t an issue to you (if you are not using watercooling)
That is it in a nutshell. But in reality, both are good cards. If you want faster performance and better temps and noise, then choose to do your own crossfire solution. Otherwise, there you have it.
