How to preview iPhone/iPod apps in browser?
Apple has recently allowed users to preview iPhone/iPod Touch apps in browser without starting iTunes. It was a hassle before, iTunes was the requirement to preview but not anymore.

1. Go to AppStore page on Apple’s website.
2. Click on an App of your liking, once the page loads just click on the App/iPhone screenshot and it will take you to the App preview page with complete details.

How to disable “open new tab next to current active tab” in Firefox 3.6
A reader, Mukesh sent an email saying that he just upgraded to Firefox 3.6 and now the tabs are opening next to each other instead of old Firefox behaviour i.e. tabs opening from links via middle click etc. at very end of the tab bar/at right in Firefox. This can be a bit confusing for old Firefox users, although it’s a good change since one will know which group of tabs is it, i.e. of a particular website.
Anyhow, the reader wants to know if there is any way of changing this behavior, there sure is when you mention Firefox. Given below is the method to change the new behavior of Firefox so it opens new tab at far end/right side of tab bar instead of opening it next to current active tab.
1. Open Firefox, type about:config in address bar.
2. Don’t worry, that’s a standard warning, just click I’ll be careful, I promise! button.
3. Paste browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in Filter area, so its filtered out for you. The default value for this will be true. You just have to change the value to false, simply by right clicking browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent and selecting Toggle, so the value is changed to false.
4. Close the tab and restart Firefox, you are done!
Hope this helps you Mukesh (and of course other readers too).
