'Hell Bound'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I gave up Firefox for Chrome a while back because Chrome was so much faster.
Ironically, the one thing it CAN'T seem to load is Google services - I get randomly logged out of Gmail all the time, the omnibar only works because I changed the default search to Bing, and Maps takes so long to load I may as well just start driving and ask for directions along the way.
Anyone know of a possible reason for this and a way to make it better?
yes. upgrade to Chrome beta version. It is more stable.
I'm at 16.0.912.63
Hm, that's the same version I have.
Then I would purge all the cookies and our history.
Yeah, searching from the menu bar is one of the things I love about chrome
Can't you search from the menu bar in all browsers? Don't make me bust out about long time Opera shit now...
Ok, so im in the Denver airport for the next three hours. They have free wifi. I can get to it from my phone, but my computer will connect to te wifi but none of the browsers will redirect to the acceptance page. How do I fix this?
Check your proxy settings? That is usually my issue. If I had known you were out here, I'd have driven out to the airport to have a drink with ya.
Huh. Apparently what I had to do was tell my system preferences I needed help, have IT connect to the wifi (...even though I'd done that already) and voila, it redirected just fine.
Of course, now I'm a little worried I somehow turned off something important while hunting around for things that would work, but it's much more pleasant to be typing on my laptop than my phone.
My sister's Windows 7 box doesn't see my Galaxy Tab as a hard drive either. What's up with that? It's supposed to, out of the box.
iTunes wouldn't see her iPod until I disabled her Microsoft firewall and anti-malware solution. But still no hard drive! What is up with that?
Here I was, thinking I liked 7 more than Vista. But I'm on the brink of hating them both, because connecting to other shit just seems to get harder and harder with subsequent OS releases.
I assume that if I can install the Galaxy Kies software on here it won't work if the device won't mount....that's my next shot. But I can't think of what else to disable, and her machine is unprotected against the evils of the internet.
