Get rid of theater mode in facebook.
Facebook has rolled out the annoying Theater mode for Photos for most of its users, which includes an ad at the right. The new album layout, when rolled out completely, will be ON by default and according to Facebook, it cannot be turned off or toggled on/off as desired. As always, Facebook is forcing upon a design change on the users and expects them to adopt or get used to it very soon.
In case you really want to get rid of FB theater mode for photos, you can do so by following the simple trick given below. But note that, it is not a permanent solution, and just a work-around.
How to disable Facebook Photo Theater mode?
Solution 1: When you click on a photo/album, it will open the photo in the theater mode, now in the address bar, look for “&theater” and delete it. Then, it will open the photo in the old format and you can start browsing the album as you used to do before.
Solution 2: A faster alternative for Option 1, is to refresh the browser. When reloaded, the photo will open in the old format and you can continue browsing as before.
As I mentioned before, neither of these solutions are permanent. When you go back to your feed and open a different photo/album, it will again open in the theater mode, and you would have to repeat either of the solutions. Hope Facebook gives a setting to toggle the theater mode or some developer comes out with a browser extension to handle this.
Update: It didn’t take long for someone to come out with a userscript! Install for Firefox here and Chrome here to permanently disable Facebook photo theater view! Thanks Binoy!

Flash on IPhone
Not being able to watch Hulu, BBC iPlayer and other Flash videos has been the major dealbreaker for many thinking to buy Apple’s iOS devices like iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. But then, the jailbreakers have found a work-around to play flash videos but only after completely sacrificing their Apple warranty.
Not anymore! Even those who don’t want to jailbreak their iDevice and keep their warranty intact can still watch Flash videos on their iOS device using a simple bookmarklet called iOSFlashVideo! This is touted as a free alternative to the Skyfire app, which costs $3 and not available in many countries as yet.
Officially, iOSFlashVideo supports these video streaming websites – Dailymotion, Flickr video, Megavideo, Vimeo. All you need to do is visit http://iosflashvideo.fw.hu from the mobile Safari browser and bookmark the link after removing specific characters from the URL.
How to Play Flash Videos on iPhone using iOSFlashVideo bookmarklet?
Before you get started, it’s advisable that you download
and install OPlayer or OPlayer Lite for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
1. Visit http://iosflashvideo.fw.hu/ via the Safari browser on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
2. Hit the + or arrow button in center at the bottom, select Add Bookmark and tap Save.
3. Open your bookmarks and tap Edit
4. Choose the new iOSFlashVideo bookmark
5. Delete everything before “javascript:” (basically it’s http://iosxflashvideo.fw.hu/#) and tap on Done.
6. Navigate any supported site and press bookmarks button to choose the iOSFLASHvideo which we had saved earlier.
You must now be able to play many of the popular flash videos. To confirm if everything is working as expected, you can visit http://iosflashvideo.fw.hu/demo/ and look for thumbnails below blip.tv, Flickr, Dailymotion, Break, MegaVideo and Vimeo labels.
It would be interesting to see if at all any reaction from Apple. Not that they can do much here, but at-least some sort of a feedback from them or may be even Adobe, would be really interesting!

Theft Aware
There are some great features in this software and was testing it out last night and all worked as well as I expected.
One of the features I really like is the ability to enable the siren to scare the living daylights out of the person that took or stole your phone.
The call back feature is really good for being able to listen to what they are saying, you just send the command and your phone will ring you back, it's like magic.
There are sooo many features and customisations that it is hard to know where to start.
It has the ability to be able to retrieve sms messages off the phone and you can even specify how many you want to retrieve, along with that is the ability to get sms messages that have been sent from the phone.
Since I had already rooted my phone it was tightly integrated and the thief would not be able to uninstall the software without the pin number that you specify.
I tried out the positioning and was very accurate, I was walking around the backyard and it was following me. Was using another smart phone to track it and was very easy to use.
At a cost of less than $15, I think it has very good potential to people that are in the know with their phones.
People that are not to tech savy may struggle a bit with the installation and settings but still should be very manageable for everyone to install and setup.
I did the install as service and don’t know about the way of installing it, but I’m sure it is even easier than the rooted phone option..
All in all a very good product that I hope goes a long way and has lots of support.
Job well done.
