Firefox 3.x clear browser history properly

OK so Firefox has an infuriating bug / feature for all of you who surf grot in your spare time, in that when you clear you session history it doesn’t clear the address bar drop down. Here is a fix:

From what I can tell it is not a real bug but a regression that’s part of a new feature RichResults. The browsing history does not erase RichResults anymore. If you don’t want RichResults keep track of where you went, in Firefox you need to enter

about:config
and then scroll down to:
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
and change the default. The default setting is 12 and if you
want nothing, you enter 0.

This probably should be changed to wishlist, namely that Clear Browsing history also clears RichResults.

G1 is to iPhone What Linux is to Mac OS - Mashable

So after my comment yesterday on the crappy looking hardware that is the G1, Mashable present a fair comparison of the iPhone to the G1:

What most people seem to forget here is that iPhone is one, while the Android will be many. G1 is just the first of many different phones that will be inhabited by Google’s mobile platform, Android. It may not have multitouch functionality, as noted in Gizmodo’s most recent list of grievances, but that’s because the device itself does not support it. But some other device will.

[From G1 is to iPhone What Linux is to Mac OS - Mashable]

I think…. as I still haven’t purchased and iPhone… I may actually go for an android device, the openness appeals tome. Android on and n96 maybe, that would rock.

Obligatory Google Phone / G1 / Andoid post

Uh…. am I the only one that thinks the G1… and I’m talking the hardware, looks, well, a bit shit? It’s just a standard looking windows mobile HTC brick, but with android in it. They could have a least made a bit of an effort.

Just picked up ‘part of the weekend never dies’ dvd from the excellent pure groove store in smithfield. haven’t watched it yet, but as anything soulwax tends to be wicked, this is also probably, really rather quite wicked.
