Tabs, Shortcuts and Internet Explorer
Have you read the information that shows up when you click the “new tab” button in IE? I think I did it once when I tried for the first time this tabbed IE, and never took a look at it again. Until yesterday. I just read it and surprised me because it contains a useful list of shortcuts for managing tabs. Many of them remind me the way Opera works, but there are a few new.

Firefox cannot load “localhost”, while IE can
I installed IIS on a reformatted computer and when trying to access the home page using Firefox I was asked for my username and password. After many tries and permission checkings (check this first!) I used IE and it worked… I googled a little bit and found this solution:
1. Open up Firefox and type about:config in the url field
2. In the Filter Type in ntlm
3. Double click “network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris” and type in localhost and hit enter
After I did that everything worked ok.

Raise your hand!
Two days ago, while surfing a gov’s page, I got stuck at the very last step of a report generator. I right clicked the page, looked for a link and see the problem: an <object> tag with a classid parameter. That object referenced a PDF file. And because the problem could be fixed by adding a simple link, I decided to give them a call. A lady answered the phone and listened carefully to my request. Kindly accepted to pass my suggestion to the IT department, where an IT Specialist would call me back. Very easy huh? So, why I had not tried that before? How many websites in the world, eager to get fixed, to attract new viewers, are just wating for a call? I’m sure many people do it, but from now on, guys count on me. I want to add my vote so all my favorite websites work on my favorite operating system. The more we are, the easier things will change. We’re just waiting for you.
