New Firefox 4 in beta stage!
People are eager to see brand new features in Firefox 4!
They has just launched in the first beta version of Firefox 4.0.
In a first analysis, we notice the familiar minimalist look, sober, with modern cuts. The menus are now hidden and the original theme fits perfectly with the look and feel of Windows 7. Searching a little more, we found that are actually present some promises made by Mozilla.
The entire interior of the browser is redrawn. Is tabbed independent plotting a scheme more sympathetic and effective management of the various components that maximize this browser. Is actually the impetus that the Mozilla Foundation aims to give the browser that dared one day dethrone Internet Explorer.
It is noticeable improvements in speed in loading pages, bookmarks synchronization and interpretation of javascript. Although still very premature, because it is "naked" add-ons, this structure seems more robust and secure.
The management of plugins is done in a single tab with more information and easier for those who have no resourcefulness to deal with this magical side of a browser.
Modern lines and the promise of a browser faster, powerful, with openness to new web technologies (HTML 5 and following), version 4 are a "must have".
There are more options and upgrades: from the automatic update of Firefox add-ons and search engine, through control of almost everything now in the hands of the user.
As you will have the opportunity to notice, this version follows the trend of Chrome, each tab now works independently, thus minimizing the impact if the session open to collapse. Another advantage is the optimization of resources reserved for each tab, in view of the loaded content.
Mozilla has updated frequently where the roadmap set out plans for release of Firefox 3.7. Everything points to start the second half 2010. The next "major release" on Firefox 4.0 will then be there for the end of next year.

How to log the user IP, not the proxy, in varnish access log
After long search, I managed to bring up issues with varnish+apache logs (real ip instead of 127.0.0.1). Here's what it is:
First, install mod_rpaf from here.
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/download/mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz
tar xzf mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz
cd mod_rpaf-0.6
Compiling rpaf module:
nano /usr/local/src/mod_rpaf-0.6/makefile
Change APXS=$(shell which apxs) to APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs.
Compile ways:
I)
make rpaf-2.0 && make install-2.0
II)
apxs -i -c -n mod_rpaf-2.0.so mod_rpaf-2.0.c
Next you must do following:
mcedit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add following lines:
LoadModule rpaf_module modules/mod_rpaf-2.0.so
#Mod_rpaf settings
RPAFenable On
RPAFproxy_ips 127.0.0.1 REALIP1 REALIP2RPAFsethostname On
That's it!
Don't forget to run service httpd restart! 
Cheers

Ubuntu successfully ported to the HTC Touch Pro2
Just a couple of weeks ago we wrote about the successful experiment of porting Ubuntu operating system on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. At this time managed to achieve modders with nickname sebbo90, in experimental device - HTC Touch Pro2, presented at last year's Mobile World Congress. He also managed to port to the specified mobile device operating system Ubuntu, along with relevant applications. To do this, you want to download a ZIP archive volume of 200 MB, extract its contents to your device and run the executable file. Moreover, installed on HTC Touch Pro2 open-source platform looks quite workable.
Recall, HTC Touch Pro2 is a communicator with a QWERTY keyboard processor-based Qualcomm MSM7200A with a frequency of 528 MHz, equipped with a 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen display.
How to install XCache for Centos / Redhat / Fedora – Php5
How do I install Xcache opcode cacher for PHP 5 under RHEL / CentOS version 5.0 server?
XCache is a open-source opcode cacher, which means that it accelerates the performance of PHP on servers. It optimizes performance by removing the compilation time of PHP scripts by caching the compiled state of PHP scripts into the shm (RAM) and uses the compiled version straight from the RAM. This will increase the rate of page generation time by up to 5 times as it also optimizes many other aspects of php scripts and reduce serverload.
Step # 1: Download xcache source code
Use wget command to download latest stable release:
# cd /opt
# wget http://xcache.lighttpd.net/pub/Releases/1.2.1/xcache-1.2.1.tar.gz
Step # 2: Untar tar ball
Use tar command:
# tar -zxvf xcache-1.2.1.tar.gz
# cd xcache-1.2.1
Step # 2: Compile and install xcahce
Use phpize command to prepare xcache as a PHP extension for compiling:
# phpize
Configure, compile and install xcache:
# ./configure --enable-xcache
# make
# make install
Default xcache.so installation location
- 64 bit PHP module installed at /usr/lib64/php/modules/xcache.so
- 32 bit PHP module installed at /usr/lib/php/modules/xcache.so
Step # 3: Create xcache.ini file
Under RHEL / CentOS, you place php modules configuration at /etc/php.d/ directory:
# cd /etc/php.d/
Create xcache.ini file:
# vi xcache.ini
Append configuration directives:
[xcache-common] ; change me - 64 bit php => /usr/lib64/php/modules/xcache.so ; 32 bit php => /usr/lib/php/modules/xcache.so zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/xcache.so [xcache.admin] xcache.admin.auth = On xcache.admin.user = "mOo" ; xcache.admin.pass = md5($your_password) xcache.admin.pass = "" [xcache] xcache.shm_scheme = "mmap" xcache.size = 32M xcache.count = 1 xcache.slots = 8K xcache.ttl = 3600 xcache.gc_interval = 300 ; Same as aboves but for variable cache ; If you don't know for sure that you need this, you probably don't xcache.var_size = 0M xcache.var_count = 1 xcache.var_slots = 8K xcache.var_ttl = 0 xcache.var_maxttl = 0 xcache.var_gc_interval = 300 ; N/A for /dev/zero xcache.readonly_protection = Off xcache.mmap_path = "/dev/zero" xcache.cacher = On xcache.stat = On
Save and close the file.
Alternatively, you can also copy default xcache.ini to /etc/php.d/
# cp xcache.ini /etc/php.d/
# vi /etc/php.d/xcache.ini
Restart your Apache web server:
# service httpd restart
If you are using Lighttpd web server, enter:
# service lighttpd restart
Step # 4: Make sure xcache is working
Type the following command for verification:
$ php -v
