How to use the new guest browsing feature of Firefox Mobile

Maybe a friend asks for your phone to browse the Internet for a moment, or a family member wants to use the web browser of your phone to show you something. The big issue here up until now was that they gained access to your browsing data automatically when you handed over the phone or tablet. They got access to your browsing history, favorite sites, all bookmarks, saved passwords, and all other information including sessions you are signed in on websites and services. Even if they would just type in a domain name or search term in the browser's address bar, they would see some suggestions based on your browsing history. While some mobile browsers may offer options, like the private tab feature of Firefox, they are usually not sufficient to protect all of your data from prying eyes.

Tap Forms: A Solid Alternate to FileMaker’s Bento. For the past five years, I’ve been relying upon FileMaker’s Bento to manage structured data on my MacBook.

Character Map was simple and intuitive to use, but I felt that it could be improved.

The history of PopChar

It should directly insert the selected characters in the current document and it should be available permanently. The solution was to turn it into a system extension (called an "INIT" at that time). The first version was a quick hack, put together in an afternoon, using code from Character Map. When I clicked in a corner of the screen, the CHARacters POPped up, so I called the thing "PopChar".

Sailfish OS SDK Released For Mac. Sailfish is an extremely interesting project.

Sailfish OS SDK Released For Mac

At MWC 2013, I was lucky enough to be in attendance at a talk given by Jolla CEO Marc Dillon, who is responsible for Sailfish. For those unfamiliar, Sailfish is an open mobile OS, based off MeeGo, an old discontinued mobile OS from Nokia. However it also builds in Android compatibility, and can run Linux software. It’s still in its very early stages, however it will be fascinating to see whether it will be able to establish itself as a leading mobile OS. For now though, Sailfish has released its SDK for Mac, which should hopefully allow many apps to be created and run natively on the OS. Sailfish has got a huge amount of potential, considering the number of apps that are already compatible, however developing native apps will be key to its success.

Home > Mac administration, Mac OS X > Setting the default boot drive from the boot volume menu This has been previously documented in a few places, but I just ran across this handy way to set the default boot drive from the boot volume menu.

When you start up a Mac holding down the Option key, the boot volume menu appears and displays all available bootable volumes. When you select a drive by clicking on it or selecting it with the arrow keys on your keyboard, it’ll boot from that drive until the next reboot. At the next reboot, unless you hold down the Option key again, the Mac will boot from whatever drive was set in the Startup Disk preference pane to be the default boot drive.
