Mozilla has just released Firefox 3.5 a couple of days ago, the latest version of my favorite web browser. If you’re still with the 3.5 Beta version, here is a link to download Firefox 3.5.
Well, if you’ve not been using Mozilla Firefox web browser till now, I strongly suggest you start using it immediately! It is not only more faster than other browsers but also more convenient and easy to use with fantastic functions like Private Browsing Mode.
On the previous beta versions, you could not enable private browsing mode - what you could do is remove your browsing history for just a specific website or just the history of the last few hours browsing.
However, with the release of Firefox 3.5, now you can always start and stop private browsing mode. Here is how you do it.
Make sure you’ve downloaded Firefox 3.5 and not Firefox 3.5 Beta.
Click on the tools menu and click on “Start Private Browsing.” You can also use the shortcut simply by pressing Shift + Ctrl + P (Press Shift, Control, and P keys at once together).
Firefox will ask you to confirm your decision. Confirm it my clicking on “Start Private Browsing” again.
To end your private browsing session, just again click on “End Private Browsing” on the tools menu or again press Shift + Ctrl + P.
As soon as you activate Private Browsing mode in Firefox, all what you’ve browsed, cookies, and data are stored temporarily, i.e., as soon as you end the session, everything will be flushed out with no traces left behind of your browsing history!
How many times have you had a problem identifying whether a file that you’ve identified to be running in your computer via Windows Task Manager is a virus, a spyware, or a genuine Microsoft system file? If you are an average user and do not know much about the system files and programs that normally run, you may not even be able to identify a virus from a system file.
For eg., svchost.exe is a part of Microsoft windows operating system file, but many times even I’ve been fooled with a malware named scvhost.exe which has identical name as svchost.exe or even some another svchost.exe file running from “…windows/system/web/12345″ folder instead of “…windows/system32″!
FileInspect is a superb free online windows process library which gives you an extensive information about all the processes that runs in your computer. Not only does the site provide mere windows process descriptions, but it also suggests tips and tricks to fix the problem.

However, this site is still in beta mode, so it doesn’t cover up all the processes in detail, but I’m sure the developers of the site are gonna make the site more informative and useful to the users.

When it comes to homepage pagerank checking, there are a wide variety of web tools available such as PR Checker and many more which are equally reliable. But what do you use to check your internal page ranks?
Of note, Google does not only update the homepage rank but also the internal pageranks from time to time. And to check such internal page rank, throughout my blogging work, I have not come with anything better than the downloadable Google Page Rank Checker tool. The Google Page Rank Checker v1.0 is an extremely efficient tool to check all the internal page ranks more accurately with just a single click!
There are other sites also which provide internal page ranks such as Web Diagnostic Tool but I find them kind of too slow, especially when you have thousands of internal page ranks to check.
I’d previously downloaded this superb tool, Google Page Rank Checker v1.0 from some site (I don’t recall from where) and accidentally deleted it. When I tried to redownload the program, I was unable to even find a trace of this program on the Internet for this superb program. After a long struggle, I was however able to recover it from deletion via a recovery program, and I have this program, intact! You can also now download this free tool via this site and use it for your personal use.

NASA has recently announced that Mark Polansky, the commander of the next space shuttle mission heading in to space on June 13, will be answering questions from space using Twitter. So guess what, you will be able to ask questions to the astronaut and his crews, which he will further answer via Twitter!
The question, however, needs to be sent via video by uploading in Youtube, and you’ll just need to tweet the youtube video link to Mark Polansky, and if you’re lucky to ask some decent question, it may even be broadcasted live on NASA TV! The response will also further be twittered.
However, make sure your question is no longer than 30 seconds, and as soon as you upload it to Youtube, just tweet the message to Polansky (@Astro_127).
