FlashBlock for Google Chrome

You may or may not agree with Apple’s stance on not allowing Adobe Flash on the iPhone or iPad.

FlashBlock for Google Chrome Alecks Dad Devon Web Services However I don’t know about you. but whenever my web browser is acting up, or crashing, or hogging CPU cycles, or memory, nine times out of ten, when I check the activity monitor Flash is the culprit !

If only there was a way you could disable or block flash…

Wait a minute there is!

If you’re running Google Chrome you can install the FlashBlock extension.

FlashBlock for Google Chrome Alecks Dad Devon Web Services

The extension automatically blocks flash content on webpages.
Each flash element is being replaced with a placeholder that allows you to load only selected elements on a given page.
You can also manage a whitelist of allowed websites via a configuration panel.

In general, FlashBlock helps with lowering memory usage, reducing cpu cycles,
and can be used as an alternative to AdBlock.

I’ve just installed it & will let you know how I get on !

You can get it yourself here

How do you get on with Flash?

An Apple iPad advert appeared during the US Oscars TV coverage.

Looks pretty nifty.

I expect we’ll see some of these adds in the UK once a release date has been confirmed.

Check out the add below:

Now all I need to do is work out how to justify buying one of these to my wife !

Apple Launches iPad at Latest Creation Event

27 January, 2010 | Daniel | No Comment

In todays news…

Apple have released their fabled tablet computer, called (we now know) the iPad

The missing first page of the bible is discovered, stating “The Following Story is Fictional and Does Not Depict Any Actual Person or Event”

The Pope unifies all religions under a humanist banner

All wars are overJohn Lennon and George Harrison are discovered alive and well, having had a nice long relaxing holiday during which they’ve written ten albums worth of new material

The Beatles reform…

All carbon and other greenhouse gases are sucked from the atmosphere by aliens, who also remove all fossil fuels from the planet

We are forced to adopt entirely renewable energy sources, and the future environmental stability of the planet is secured…

Some of this is true, some is not…

The most important question of course is when can I order my iPad in the UK, and how can I justify it to my wife… (all comments and suggestions gratefully received…)
