Recently I noticed a random slowdown of browsing speed. I first thought that it was my browser, Google Chrome, that was the culprit. So, I switch to Safari, but that behaved similarly. I switched to Firefox, which, at first, seemed to be much faster, but after a bit of use it started slowing down randomly.

Random Slowdown of Browsers in OS X Mountain Lion
Activate the Control + Scroll gesture to zoom in on a specific screen section
I recently reinstalled OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro and one thing that I had forgotten about was the Control + Scroll gesture to zoom in to a specific part of the screen. This is especially important for me because I am running 1680×1050 on 15” screen (i.e. generally very small font). Finally after a few minutes of research I found out how to get that functionality back.
Here is what you need to do.
Play Button iTunes Patch does not work on OS X Lion
2011-07-26 FA: Please see the latest post.
As you might have heard, Apple released OS Lion yesterday. I am not part of mac developer program so yesterday was the first time that I got to play around with Lion. One thing I noticed right away was that the upgrade broke my iTunes Play Button patch. I will look into fixing that as soon as I get some time.
Among other broken things were the VMWare Fusion bootcamp instance which I haven’t had the time to recreate. Plus Apple removed the four finger swipe app switch gesture, which I used quite a bit 😐 Time to find another utility to bring that functionality back.
