ClickToFlash – A Flash Blocker for Safari
September 2nd, 2009
Several months ago, when I was starting to using Mac OS, my browser was Firefox, because it’s stability and the add-ons.
One of my ‘must have’ add-ons is a flash blocker, for to reasons: it blocks annoying ads and saves you battery.
When I moved to Safari, I’ve tried to reach a flash blocker plug-in but no success at all.
Today, I give it another shot and I’ve discovered a great Safari Plug-in called ClickToFlash.

Watch HD Trailers from Apple on Front Row
July 27th, 2009With the upcoming version of Snow Leopard, I thought that Apple might have add the possibility to watch HD movie trailers on Front Row, but till now there is no rumors about that.
So I’ve google for that possibility and I’ve found the solution ‘Front Row Trailers.prefPane’, it’s installed on System Preferences and allows to choose the Front Row’s Trailers source, the sort type and to watch trailers in HD (720p is the maximum for now).
I recommend you to open your terminal and run this command. This will stop asking your password to change one by one definition on this prefPane.
sudo chmod o+w /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Trailers.plist
After configure this preference you can launch Front Row and go to Movie Trailers and you’ll see HD Trailers Folder.

How To… Uninstall HttpMail
June 9th, 2009
HttpMail is a plugin that allow you to get the mails on your hotmail account on Apple Mail.
I’ve tried this plugin but unfortunately it didn’t work for me because I’ve got a live.com account. I’ve read that it only works with hotmail accounts.
To remove this Plugin from your Mac all you have to do is:
- Go to your Library folder, open the Mail folder and then the bundles folder .
- Delete the httpmail.mailbundle folder.
And it’s all… easy?
