window.top.location.replace

It’s the little things in life that matter… such as this little gem of javascript for launching onclick() links to “target=_top”…
 

window.top.location.replace(’http://yoururl.com/’);return false;

 

Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari

Thanks to CNET for this test… it’s clear, Javascript screams on the new Chrome browser!

Google Browser, Chrome.

Interesting… Google releasing a web browser of it’s own this morning, fresh screen shot!
 


 
You can find more info on the browser here.
 
Update!
 
It’s out! Downloaded, and I tell you… so far this is one VERY NICE web browser. My first impression is it is fast as all get out. No doubt one of the fastest I have used to date. Very cool.
 
Here is the updated download site.
 

Riva Encoder on Vista

Riva is a really nice free app for converting any type of movie to the web standard .FLV format… but if you try to run it on Vista, you may hit a small snag… Yeah, if it doesn’t work on your glorious copy of vista either… this is what you need to do:

Right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Advanced, Performance, Settings, Data Execution Prevention, Turn on DEP for all programs… and then add the Riva FLV Encoder.exe, and Riva FLV Player.exe. Should work after that… see screen shots.

Vista Start Run History

Slight annoyance!
 
If you want to restore it permanently to your Start menu, here’s what you do:
 
Right-click on the Start menu and choose Properties;
Select the Start Menu tab and click on the Customize… button;
Ensure the “Run command” option is checked.
