Recently while using Google Maps on latest Firebox 3.6 beta3 (I updated my favorite Firefox to the latest beta3 few days back) I noticed that the browser asked me to share my location in order to provide more relevant local search results for your location. I didn’t knew how precise my location can be tracked using network but believe me it was amazingly accurate. Google tracked my ‘exact’ location using ‘Location-aware Browsing’ feature and by ‘exact’ I mean 100% accurate.

But, this means a new problem I.e. Privacy. if using ‘Location-aware browsing’ (aka GeoLocation) Google can track you then sooner or later hackers/spammers/crackers/etc are also gonna track you down. Though I like the feature but being a privacy lover I do not like Google or anyone else tracking me via ‘Location-aware browsing’.

Though, Mozilla team claims on their site that Firefox does not track your location as you browse on web and it provides only limited location information is sent to the website that too with user’s permission only, Firefox also enables user to change the permission to share his/her location with any website by him/her. BTW, Firefox also allows user to clear the “random client identification number” assigned by Google GeoLocation Services (normally remains valid for two weeks).

If you wish to disable the Location-Aware Browsing completely in your Firefox, do the following step by step:

1. In the URL bar of Firefox, type about:config
2. Type geo.enabled
3. Double click on the geo.enabled preference (value will change from “true” to “false”)
4. Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled

By default Nokia N73 displays six applications on the screen that appears when you are not using the mobile or when you turn on the Nokia N73.

This screen which appears when you are not using the mobile or when you turn on the Nokia N73 is called the Active Standby Screen [Figure No. 1] . And the application menu on it is called Active Standby Menu. These six applications are the shortcuts icons to the application so, its safe to remove them or change them.

The Active Standby Menu acts just like the quick launch menu in computers. To run any of the applications on this Active Standby Menu you could use the Scroll key (joystick) to highlight that application shortcut icon and press joystick.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to change the six application shortcuts:

1. Press the Nokia Menu key on the left,
2. On the Menu screen click on Tools, [Figure No. 2]
3. On the Tools screen click on Settings, [Figure No. 3]
4. On the Settings screen click on Phone, [Figure No. 4]
5. On the Phone settings screen click on Standby mode, [Figure No. 5]
6. On the Standby mode screen click on Active standby apps., [Figure No. 6]
7. Here you can change any of the six application shortcuts. Using Joysticks choose the shortcut you want to change and press it. Now select the application you want to assign to shortcut from the list of given options and press Joystick. [Figure No. 7]
8. All Done! Press the right Selection key (Back) until you see the Active Standby Screen.

Recently we upgraded Goelji.com to WordPress MU 2.7. And, along came some

In WordPressMU 2.7 there is a new admin bar. It has settings so users can see it on the admin panel side if they are logged in, and a wonky bit to switch between blogs that may have a few bugs.

For any reason if you don’t want it then here’s how to disable it.

Go to wp-config.php (you will get it where you installed WordPress MU). Edit it.
Find the following lines in wp-config.php

// Uncomment to disable the site admin bar
//define( ‘NOADMINBAR’, 1 );

In a freshly installed copy of WPMU 2.7, you’ll find these lines in wp-config.php when WPMU is up and running.
In case of upgraded WPMU 2.7, check the config-sample.php and make sure you copy these lines into your existing wp-config file.
