Also if I change to www.google.ca/ig it works right.
What a cluster...

Daniel, Lifehacker.com says if you change your language preference over to UK English, you'll get your iGoogle tabs back, at least temporarily.
Hmmm. Doesn't work for me.
ETA: Now it does, when I open a new window.
Also, there is a script for collapsing the side tab out, now. [link]

Wacky tech question.
Remember that eMac that turned into a doorstop in February?
Apple dudes tell me it is a lost cause. I accept that but now, I've stubbed my toe on it just about enough. I'd like to freecycle it but can't get it to start to wipe the hard drive.
If I stick a bunch of magnets on it, will that scramble things enough that anyone who tinkers with it will have to start fresh?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think so. They'd have to be very strong magnets, and even then....
I'd just open it up and remove the drive. Then you can dispose of the 'puter and keep the drive, or (if it still works) turn it into an external drive, or hook it to another computer to erase it, or just trash the drive by going all Hulk smash! on its ass....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My new MacBookPro is on order. Should arrive some time next week.

Is it possible that my cat walking across the keyboard has shut down the sound within Firefox only? I can play iTunes, and I hear alerts, but when I try to watch various TV shows/youtube/etc, I get no sound.

Youtube is flash. You might see if volume in flash has been set to zero, cause that can be done with one click. Start playing a Video, click on the little megaphone. [Edit: the little megaphone in the video itself, not the one in your desktop.] See if it is set all the way down.

Sophia, have you tried restarting? I've had issues with listening to streaming video that were fixed by restarting.
