Forget your password but it is saved on Firefox? Or just saw a password stored in Firefox in a public computer?
You can see it now. Actually, theres two ways to do that.
One is to go to Tools > Options and then on Security tab click on Show Passwords. Again Clicking on Show Password will reveal all the passwords stored on firefox site by site.

But, there is another exciting way to do that. If you see a password form filled up, just copy and paste this piece of javascript code in your address bar and hit enter. A Popup will then come up showing the passwords.

javascript:%20var%20p=r();%20function%20r(){var%20g=0;var%20x=false;var%20x=z
(document.forms);g=g+1;var%20w=window.frames;for(var%20k=0;k<w.length;
k++)%20{var%20x%20=%20((x)%20||%20(z(w[k].document.forms)));g=g+1;}if
%20(!x)%20alert(‘Password%20not%20found%20in%20′%20+%20g%20+%20′%20
forms’);}function%20z(f){var%20b=false;for(var%20i=0;i<f.length;i++)%20{var
%20e=f[i].elements;for(var%20j=0;j<e.length;j++)%20{if%20(h(e[j]))%20{b=true}
}}return%20b;}function%20h(ej){var%20s=”;if%20(ej.type==’password’){s=ej.value;
if%20(s!=”){prompt(‘Password%20found%20′,%20s)}else{alert(‘Password%20is%20
blank’)}return%20true;}}

Check it and let us know here what you found :)

LG KP500 Cookie : No Cookie for me

Posted on by

The Cookie is a clean looking phone at first glance. Its got a really uncluttered front facial with just three, small well beveled buttons. The phone itself is finished in matte black and has a Steel-Grey ring running right around the sides that adds a classy look.

The camera and phone screen lock buttons are no one side and very easy to use despite their small size owing to great feedback, the volume up/down buttons aren’t as good. LG has added the ability to finger swipe through albums and this is called “Free Touch”, an obvious ripoff from Apple’s Multi Touch; but it doesn’t work anywhere at all as well which is why there’s a stylus provided. Its light years away from the flawless fluidity of Apple’s touch interface. Add to that a vary slow processor which becomes amply evident as you use the touch feature when browsing albums and such.

We were a bit disappointed with the touch sensitivity. On a more positive note touch accuracy is a bit better and acceptable for a phone in this bracket.
the screen itself is quite large and clear although we’ve seen bettr screens in the Xperia and the iPhone. The Cookie does make a strong point for itself by having a well laid out menu system with pretty good icons-not like some of the cartoonish icons we’ve seen from LG in the past.

LG provides a neat bunch of games and quite frankly we had a bit of fun playing these. This not camera phone and we’ve seen much better 3-megapixel units and there’s no flash. MP3 playback quality is strictly so-so and another pain is LGs continued use of a proprietary connect for the same rather than a 3.5mm jack. Call quality and signal reception strength on the Cookie isn’t all that great and nowhere close to Nokia phones. Priced at $300 it’s a mixed bundle.

Although not many phones can offer such a large touchscreen for the price there are other problems that prevent us from recommending you swallow this Cookie for one, it’s a mediocre phone, MP3 playback quality and the camera could be better. There are other alternatives for this price range that do far more as a phone and as multimedia devices.

Brother MFC-7840N Printer

Brother is best known for value-for-money products. We look at one of its latest MFDs-the MFC-7840N.

This MFD has a basic two-line LCD backlit display. There is full numeric keypad for the fax feature on the right and button options for fax,copy and print on the left.

The paper tray can be removed completely with three clamps to adjust your paper size-two on the sides and one on the back. There is also a tray on top of the device for ADF (Auto Document Feeder). The lid of the scanner can be extended when you need to scan a thick book.

Installation is simple the toner cartridge assembly slid into place very easily.configuring the MFD can be being done without connecting it to PC.Other than the many scanning options available,there’s also a unique one-scan your document to ftP (upload to an FTP server).

For printing, we used two modes of the test documents-economy and standard. The plain Word documents took 11.5 seconds with an upper and lower limit of two seconds in both modes.

There was a difference of a second between the two modes, but the image quality was not that great in economy mode. The standard mode was an improvement, but a bit of pixelation was still visible. Scanning gave some good results with the scanned picture quality not that bad and it took a total of 36.4 seconds.

We also scanned five pages using ADF-this took a total of two minutes 35 seconds. A Word document was used to test the copying capabilities, which did not turn out that great as the text turned out to be a bit rough, but this could be caused by the scanner. Even so, the copying took only nine seconds.

This MFD with its ADF feature makes a good overall purchase. There are some minor feature lacking, like a USB port to get instant printout from flash drives. This is still a really good buy, especially for small businesses, but it a bit on the pricey side at $399.
