    What's the Point of Google's Browsers "Tracking Website Habits"?

    Oh, ok. So they use it in a positive way. Well, that's good to know! The people who mentioned this made it sound like it was a BAD thing. Thanks to you both for clarifying! :)

    What's the Point of Google's Browsers "Tracking Website Habits"?

    Someone recently told me (actually more than one person) that Google's browsers (such as Chrome) are infamous for "tracking users' website habits." Why? What is the point of that? Why would they care what sites strangers visit? I could see it they wanted to slam you with spam and advertisements...

    Make Google Chrome Even Faster - Is There an App/Add-on for That?

    BUT.......according to all the benchmark test results that I've read, Chrome scores way higher than Chromium. I will still check it out though. Thanks! :)

    Anyone Have An Older MacBook Air?

    Right on, Fryke! :) I have the new 11" MBA as well. I just LOVE it! I am amazed at this tiny machine's abilities, speed and power. And the graphics are incredible! Yeah, I think Apple made a smart move when they didn't rush this generation of MBA and took nearly 2 years to tweak and improve...

    Anyone Have An Older MacBook Air?

    I think the first generation MacBook Air was introduced in 2008 - if I recall correctly? Just wondering if anyone here has (or knows anyone who does) an older MBA and how do you like it? Does it still run great? Any problems? Any regrets? Etc. Looking forward to hearing from other MBA owners...

    Make Google Chrome Even Faster - Is There an App/Add-on for That?

    I was browsing macupdate.com (I think it was) a few days ago and I THOUGHT I saw something that said "make Google Chrome faster"... but now I can't find it. Is there such an app or a Chrome add-on to speed up webpage rendering - kinda like Fasterfox add-on for Firefox? Or is that type of thing...

    Why Isn't Toolbar Showing After Startup?

    Hi, guys! My computer was shut down, then I started it up and it booted up with icons showing (Airport, battery, time, etc.) but no actual toolbar strip. Never seen that before! So, I clicked on Finder in the Dock and then the toolbar showed like normal. I rebooted just to test it and ever...

    Is 3-Year AppleCare Protection Plan Worth It?

    Already bought it! On the same day I purchased my Air. That's why I started this thread, 'cause I was wondering if it was really worth it or if I made a mistake. Ah well, better safe than sorry.

    Is 3-Year AppleCare Protection Plan Worth It?

    Ah, I see! Ok, now I feel better. Yeah Apple took like 2 years to work on the new MacBook Airs and perfect them. All the other generations came out really close together. They were rushing it, IMO. The new ones are awesome! :)

    Does This Look Like a Normal Permissions Repair to You?

    A-HA! So THAT'S why I saw a very long list of stuff - because it was AFTER I installed Adobe Flash Player! ::evil:: The only reason I installed it because right after I bought my computer, opened it up and started surfing the 'Net, I went to watch a video and it told me I needed to install AFP...

    What Song Are You Playing Now?

    Blondie is awesome, Satcomer! I saw Debbie Harry in concert when she was doing a solo comeback around '93 I think it was? I was fortunate enough to meet her after the show, and she was soooo cool! A very sweet woman. Blondie was my first favorite band way back when I was a little kid! Been a fan...

    Is 3-Year AppleCare Protection Plan Worth It?

    I do not like your replies. :eek: LOL Wow, I hope nothing goes wrong with my new baby. I had an old iBook G4 for 8 years and used the damn thing constantly (probably about a 13-year usage on it) and never once had anything go wrong with it. Just a keyboard replacement because the letters were...

    What Happened to the Chat Room on this Forum?

    Hey, Rhi! :) Yeah, I've been busy working and playing with my new computer! So, of course, I had to come back here and show off my new toy. :D ::ha:: How have you been? Caca, you mean to tell me that a forum full of techy geeks (and I mean that in the BEST of ways :) ) can't get the chat...

    Is 3-Year AppleCare Protection Plan Worth It?

    When I bought my MacBook Air, I opted to purchased the 3-year AppleCare Protection Plan with it. Admittedly, I had never done that before. With my previous computers, I just got the standard 1-year warranty with no additional extended plan. It cost $250 but I figured I might as well get it all...

    Does This Look Like a Normal Permissions Repair to You?

    Giaguara, thank you for that info and the article! LOL @ ElDiablo! I liked your analogy. :p :D Your post was very interesting, thank you. Just one quick question based on what you said regarding "don't run a "repair permissions routine without having a specific and exact reason." Does...
