Recently when starting Feedly through http://feedly.com, I got this message in Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro:
Is feedly blocked?
Feedly is not able to load. It is probably because one of your extensions is blocking it. If you run Adblock, HTTPSEverywhere, Awesome screenshot etc.. please make sure that feedly.com is white listed.
It has come a long way since then. Full screen it is still not as good as the official one, but the main attraction introduced since is: configurable playback speed!
Yes, you can choose playback at 25%, 50%, 100%, 150% or 200% of the original speed. Ideal for lectures or watching replays of conference sessions.
Note that not all settings work. The Asus Nexus 7 emulator worked, but custom didn’t always work (that would open m.youtube.com as www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1 hence switching off the mobile client).
Usually you need to retry playing a video a few times: my Philips 42PFI7676H-12 didn’t always work at first (maybe playing back streamed video inside the emulator is not supported, but telling Youtube to pass the play request to your TV is), whereas with my Google Nexus 4 it always works.
You can even pair one computer to another: on the computer that emulates the TV, browse to www.youtube.com/leanback.
This year, the Dutch Queens day this year had a special nature. On the nation level: the abdication by former Queen, now Princess Beatrix, and the succession and inauguration of King Willem-Alexander. On the marching band level: Adest Musica had their Dutch premiere of the new show Mother Earth which will be their entry during the quadrennial Word Music Concours this summer. On the personal level, my best friend visiting The Netherlands for just a few days, so finally a chance to catch up in person.
So I totally missed another important historic event: the 20th birthday of the releasing the WWW source code in the public domain.
Zero day vulnerability in mshtml.dll used by Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and 9, and many other products.
Resolution: Deploy EMET or stop using IE and other products using mshtml.dll until Microsoft delivers a patch.
Earlier this week a zero-day vulnerability in the mshtml.dll was made public. This DLL is used by almost all Internet Explorer versions (6-9 are vulnerable) and many other software products (almost anything from Microsoft and a lot of 3rd party software that displays a web page on Windows).
Gif Stopper will stop animated gif images with using the escape key.
We all love animated gifs but some times they are too distracting, that’s with Gif Stopper comes in. Hit the escape key and the image stops. Most browsers have this build-in and now Google Chrome has it also.
Next to HTTPS Everywhere, there are the ForceHTTPS and NoScript extension for FireFox (NoScript also supports HSTS).
FireFox 4 supports HSTS out of the box.
