Nothing annoys me more than having new features added to applications and not having the ability to optionally control said “feature”. In my opinion Firefox 3 is guilty of this. I do not enjoy the new tab button that is placed next to the browser tabs in Firefox 3. There is no good way to disable the button from the preferences or even through the about:config panel.
There is however a simple plugin that allows you to disable the new tab button with ease.

Well the last article I put up for this feature I had stated it was going to be weekly. I apologize for not following through but there wasn’t exactly a huge influx of setups. So today we have the gracious site builder’s setup in all its glory.
This setup is pretty much sweet simple and straight to the point. You can see a somewhat aged MBP what appears to be a Logitech g5 mouse and a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. Also a wrt54g running tomato, iTouch 2nd gen, & a PSP running custom firmware. By all means I must say this desk is fairly clean and straightened up. I will be the first to tell you I cleaned my work area for the first article and it wouldn’t surprise me if this desk has been cleaned up as well. That’s all for this week feel free to send any submissions with details to snowman@knoxware.org

Following up with parts 3, 2, and 1 - I finally received my replacement TruePower battery from FastMac. I can honestly say I probably wouldn’t have this battery by now if it hadn’t been for me E-mailing the utter crap out FastMac. Let me recap just in case you missed something, or if you’d rather not read all 3 parts. Back in June of 2009 I had an issue with a MacBook Pro battery from FastMac. The battery lost all of it’s cycles, dropped it’s charge, and then came back to life. When the battery came back to life, several cells died, they became swollen and dead. This resulted in an unbelievable amount of power loss. I contacted FastMac to get a replacement since I was under warranty. This was in the last two weeks of June. They told me there would be a back-order until the beginning of July 2009, roughly three weeks, FastMac informed me. This was fine with me. I was out of town, so two weeks went by. I shipped the package out, they received the package one week after I had shipped it. This was the cap of the three week waiting period. So I expected a quick turn around and to have my battery replaced shortly.

Today Apple released iPhone OS 3.1 along side iTunes 9. One of the big new features of iTunes and OS 3.1 is iTunes application management. The user is now able to manage their iPhone / Touch applications in iTunes 9. Here is a quick video sample of the management UI in action.
So far the system works great. I haven’t found any issues as of yet. I just wish we had the option to hide unwanted pre-installed applications that we don’t use.
