  Google App Email: iPhone IMAP Problem & Solution 

  
  Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /home/tenthblo/public_html/wp-content/themes/p2/functions.php on line 34

  Recently, my school switched their emailing from their own to Google Hosted Email system. I have other Gmail accounts and I can access them through my iPhone without any problems.

  Setting up your Google email account is an easy process, which is thoroughly explained at Gmail Support Site.  There are two ways you can access your to Gmail account through your iPhone. One of them is IMAP and the other is using POP access.

  The problem I had was a verification problem. Even though, I entered my information correct,  it would not verify my account and let me access to my emails. What happens is that it will try to verify the account without SSL, and a minute later it would fail verifying.

  From time to time,  I’d have the same problem with my old browser, Firefox 2.  What I’d do is to change my password through another browser then I’d be able to log in.  So i tried the same thing. This actually worked.  If you are having the same problem, you can try changing your password.

  As Google points out, when you are entering your username, make sure to include your domain address after your username. So it would like this “username@yourdomain.com”.

  Firefox 3.7 Default Theme Mockup Screenshots

  Developers at Mozilla recently posted a wiki post about Firefox 3.7.  They posted couple of screen shots at Mozilla Wiki.

  Personally I never liked how Vista looked even though I use it. You can click on the images to see them in full sizes.

  In my opinion, it looks a like a combination of other major browsers, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

  They removed the menu from the top bar and placed a menu and a setting icon next to internet search just like Google Chrome and Safari.  Apparently, this is going to affect how you get around in Firefox. They are becoming more similar to each other.

  Tabs are separated unlike the current version of Firefox, which I think it looks more like Opera.

  Here are the other two screen shots.
  

  You don’t need to wait until Firefox 3.7.  BoneyardBrew developed a theme that’s just like the mock up.  You can head over to his or her Deviantart page to download the theme.

  Font Size Adjustable Adsense Ad Units

  Google Adsense team has finally adopted one of the most wanted features. Adsense now allows its users to pick different font sizes (Small- Medium – Large) and also different font styles (Arial – Verdana – Times).

  “The font size you choose will be applied to the body of the ad, with the title scaled appropriately. In order to fit the ad text correctly, the actual font size will vary for each format size, font face, and user-specific settings such as browsers and operating systems. In addition, some formats sizes currently have very limited room, so the font size application will be most apparent in cases where the number of ads appearing in your ad units varies automatically in order to maximize your performance.

  Your ads are currently set at the default size for AdSense, which is the equivalent of ’small’. You can select a new font size on an account-wide basis in the Ad Display Preference section of your My Account tab, or on an individual ad unit basis for new and existing ad units.

  If you’re creating new ad units, you can choose between the AdSense default font size, your new account-wide font size (if you’ve selected one using the instructions above), or a separate size. To update existing ad units you’ve created using the Manage Ads feature, visit the ‘Manage Ads’ page under your AdSense Setup tab. Any font size changes you make on an individual ad unit basis will be maintained even if you change your account-wide default in the future.”

  Even though you don’t see any ads here on tenthblog, this feature will come in handy for many web masters. This feature has been asked by the users for a long time. I don’t know why Google has made its users wait for such a long time. This is probably work out better for many web site owners in their Adsense revenues.

  Firefox 3.5 Beta

  You might have been wondering what happened to Firefox beta releases? In case you haven’t heard about it, there have been delays on almost each beta release that Mozilla put up.

  3.5 Comes after 3.0

  Mozilla has released three beta versions of their next release which was named “Firefox 3.1″ until lately. They have recently proposed that Shiretoko would be renamed to Firefox 3.5. You can catch up on details at Mozilla’s Quality Blog. So as it has been approved by Mozilla, they have released a new beta version(only a prebeta) of next release named Firefox 3.5.

  Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 (Pre-Beta) is available at Mozilla’s quality blog. It’s a different installation which means it won’t replace your current  FF stable or beta version. Another Firefox will be installed. I have Firefox 3.0.8, Firefox 3.1 Beta and Shiretoko (Firefox 3.5 Beta 4).

  Firefox needs your help!

  If Mozilla doesn’t face any unexpected problems on this nightly build version, they are expecting an official beta release on April 28 before they move on to release candidates for Firefox 3.5. So in total, there will be four beta versions before RC versions. Mozilla needs your help. If you are a Firefox user and have some spare time, you can start using the latest version available and start letting Mozilla know about any bugs or problems you see with the version. This way there will be less delays.
