Firefox 50 Released

No, I didn't say that. FF+uBO with dynamic filtering does pretty much what I need them to well enough. If clickjacking was a concern to me uBO + uMatrix are an excellent combo, but choose to use only uBO for ease of use. Even NoScript is susceptible to clickjaking occasionally when u are...

Firefox 50 Released

It manages those just fine just not as stringent and it makes web browsing a lot easier. With noscript u have more fine grained control but it becomes a pain after a while, it still is one of the most powerful add-ons if that's what u want.

Firefox 50 Released

For me FFx64 and uBlock Origin has been a lot better than with noscript, now I don't have to guess (tired of it) what to allow for a web page to function correctly. I've seen websites with more than 30 elements blocked, once on a crappy news site it blocked 57 elements. After many years of...

Any point to upgrading a core 2 duo e6550 to e8400?

Those Xeon's are very good at reviving LGA775 MBs, I dusted off an old nForce 650i with a X5460 ($35) OC @ 3.8 and it's been humming along for over a year. Considering the benefits of a =1236&cmp[]=1297&cmp[]=955"]Quad over a C2D it was a no brainer IMO, for something that was probably...

Replace My 5 Yr Old Sony Vaio With....???

The Dell XPS line is a great alternative with some of the best 4K UHD LCDs available now. Although, a refresh should be coming to the 15" with Skylake CPUs and InfinityEdge screen similar to the XPS 13 that was released earlier this year. The RAM limitation refers to the maximum memory capacity...

True, looks like somebody is getting paid by the word judging by the wall of text in the last few posts. And just to rub it in, a quote from another poster; I'm sure a lot of people will agree with it.

Best/Fastest Phone I Could Get for $70.

The OP has a small budget of $70. Unless the Moto E 2nd gen suddenly is priced around that, it doesn't fit within the budget. The Lumia 640 still is a better deal even against the Moto E 2nd gen.

Best/Fastest Phone I Could Get for $70.

Lumia 640 it's the better phone with most up to date specs for the price and with limited specs WP runs better. Besides the Moto E doesn't have LTE, front camera, 4gb vs 8gb, etc.

Opinions on AV?

The one reason I've stuck with Nod32 AV is the consistency and protection. Still is one of the lightest AV around in terms of resources (around 100mb) and it does its business without much ado from the user. You barely notice is there, simplicity at it's best without annoying the user. Unlike...

**Solved - AVG bug** Firefox continues to stream video...even after closing down.

Use Sysinternals Process Explorer to trouble shoot what's running after you close FF. It saves a lot guess work and it will pinpoint the source of the problem much easier than task manager.

That's the digitizer/touch screen that you described as front glass, it is a very simple repair if you have the tools available. Look up "how to repair" videos on youtube for your tablet to help you fix it.

Lightweight browser recommendations?

Amen to that! There's a reason why Firefox with ABP and NoScript should be in everybody's top priority list for a better browsing experience. When you're unable to have the latest hardware, every little bit helps.

It's a smartphone and it should work right out of the box without any support. You won't get any bug fixes or updates, but WebOS had reasonable performance with the minimal hardware it came with.

Sneak Peak of Tegra 4 (Codename Wayne)

All of this speculation about an alleged benchmark on a pre-development board has no real meaning until the silicon is final. It can take multiple samplings before it is, just a working silicon sample at 80% can have a cascade effect before the last 20% is finally optimized. The fact that Nvidia...

That's the sad truth about Android, the SD card management sucks! It makes me long for the symbian days, despite its quirky execution it had great sd management, now it's up to WP8 to pick up the slack.

No, the counter-suit hasn't been decided. iFone won the injunction that Apple filed against them for trademark infringement. Therefore affirming iFone rights of first use in Mexico. (They get to keep using the name iFone and tradermark class 38 rights). Instead of Apple negotiating in good...

Not yet, the little iFone guys just filed a counter-suit in response... with the rights of first use. All this stems from the two trademark classes (9, 28) that apple filed and already own but wanted the third from iFone (38) invalidated. Talk about biting more than you can chew. :whiste:

How do you figure that? Clearly the trademark was in question when the party responsible "Cisco" didn't defend or enforce it back in 2003 willfully diluting it. A case can be made for abandonment since there wasn't a product to be had with that name at the time. Apple hasn't got an argument here...

While that may be the case, don't make assumptions you can back up. The Cisco trademark at the time was very questionable, since they had not used/enforced the trademark until the apple iPhone was a certainty. This was a case of use it or loose it and Cisco managed to protect it by slapping a...
