Annoying! Google Chrome’s “Google Translate”

cyberbofh — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:09:44 +0000

Some of you already did notice it. Google has a nice extension called “Google Translate”.

Well…. they forgot to add an OFF button to it.

Every time you get to a web page it will ask you if you want it translated. Every time!

Sure.. you can turn off translating for that page.. or for that language.. but a general OFF button doesn’t exists!

UNINSTALL it! Right… the way Google works with extensions.. that is hard to do..

They don’t give each installed extension a normal name, but call it like “asdhtrwjfkgfsdfjdf” and more like that..

You should have the freedom to turn it off if you want..

or… should I use my freedom to change browser?

Weird problem, need help: 2nd monitor goes dark after Windows session is unlocked

I have this weird problem.

I use a 2nd monitor to extend my desktop. When I walk away from my computer, I lock my Windows session. After I return and unlock my Windows session my 2nd monitor goes dark.

I tried to enable my 2nd monitor under display settings, but it goes dark again. Only a reboot will fix this, until next lock/unlock.

What is going on?

How to fix this?

Problem with Facebook for Windows Mobile

When I go to Wall I can’t read what my friends have written (or what I did write myself..)

All shows up is:

:a:0"{}.

I did an uninstall and a reinstall of Facebook for Windows Mobile but that didn’t help

So… Now I wonder what this could be. Maybe one of you know the answer to this problem?

Here is how it shows on my phone:

Me posting a test message

Using a web browser all looks fine

But on the Windows Mobile Phone it doesn’t look fine… Weird…

Anyone out there who can help me here?

NO WIFI on my Compaq/HP 8710P laptop

Don’t know why, but suddenly my WIFI stopped working.

I can press the WIFI button, but nothing happens..

When I boot, the soft touch button lights up, but the moment Vista64 is loading, it’s “turned off” as it seems..

It could be hardware error – they guys from HP/Compaq didn’t make that softkey that great – or it could be a software problem. If so, what softpaq do I need to uninstall/install?

Anyone?

>>> UPDATE <<<

Yay! It’s working again! I got this tip from some HP tech:

turn laptop off
remove power cable
remove the battery
wait 5 to 10 sec
put battery in laptop
put power cable in
turn on the laptop

This should reset the soft touch keys and… it did
