Javascript Code to Edit Any Webpage

May 31st, 2009

Recently, I stumbled upon a really cool trick: Use a javascript code to edit any webpage.

CODE: javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0

Instructions:

1.Go to the page to be edited.

2.Copy and paste the JS code into the URL Address bar and hit enter. You can now edit any aspect of the webpage in the browser. There are some limitations and sometimes there are errors. You can’t save this page or publish it and in no way is it hacking the page, it just enables temporarily editing the page. As soon as you exit or reload, changes will be gone and the page will be normal again. This trick just changes the look of the page on your computer, not on the web.

Windows 7 Beta Release Minview

Windows 7, the post Vista OS, was released in beta form in early February 2009. Being a pro-Windows person myself, I downloaded the beta and dual-booted it with Vista. Wow. All I can say. Vista runs okay on my 3gb RAM, 2.0ghz HP laptop. Windows 7 runs like a charm. It boots in like 1/4 the time of Vista (FASTER THAN LEOPARD!) and shuts down immediately (Yes, I’ve experienced Vista’s almost minute to shut down). Dual-booting was a charm, and untraditionally, it installed in 20 minutes with full options. If I could, I’d upgrade now, even to the beta. After starting up, you’re asked to log in, and after typing in your password, you see the Welcome screen for all of about 2 seconds. It then brings you to the desktop and every thing’s so fast!

Samsung Instinct s30 Minview

Samsung Instinct s30

All hail the Samsung Instinct s30. It’s the new Instinct phone. Don’t call it a replacement of the origanal Instinct, it’s nothing like that. Think of it as an upgrade. There are a few major differences: For some unknown reason, the s30′s browsing capabilities were downgraded from Revision B to Rev. A. This means a slightly longer loading time for the web. The s30 is much sleeker than the origanal Instinct: only curved, beveled edges. It’s smaller, too. Both the Instinct and the s30 come with a ton of features. List below:

Specialized Samsung Headphones including dedicated Call/Speech to Action Button

Conclusion:

The Samsung Instinct s30 is a great phone for calling and multitasking. It’s apps don’t span nearly 1/100 of what the iPhone has but, it’s nicknamed the “iPhone Killer!” I’d give it a 4/5: Very Good. It has some great features and visual styles. I’m very pleased with this phone.
