If so then maybe you should downgrade to v9. I run an older G4 Powerbook and was running into this issue until a friend of mine emailed me a few files to downgrade my flash player to v9. Now my browser runs much nicer.

Here are the files:
Flash Player Uninstaller OSX

Flash Player v9 Files OSX

Run the uninstaller, then copy the two files in the flashplayer9r159 disk image to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

That’s all. I hope this helps!

1) Firefox Google Voice Add on
This is a nice little app that makes it possible to make phone calls, and text messages from your Google Voice account with out having another open window.

2)Send one message to multiple contacts with ContacTexter

This is a neat little app that was written using Java so it’s cross platform. The interface isn’t too pretty, but it works, and it’s FREE!

3) Get the BEST number on Google Voice Script
This guy figured out how to access google voice number search via a script, and run queries to grab the JSON file. This is definitely worth taken a look at if you are a developer/programmer of any kind. Unfortunately it is a script that was built for OSX 10.5 but is possible to modify and run in 10.4.

4) Scott’s SMS via Python for Google Voice Script (Everyday Scripting)
This is a neat little script to send text messages using Python.

4b) Scott’s NEW AND IMPROVED Python Script for Google Voice (Everyday Scripting)
This script allows you to send mass sms or mass call in an iterative fashion. Keep up the good work Scott!

5) How to write a Google Voice App
Well not exactly, but does give some insight in how Google Voice works since there is no API as of yet.

6) How to use Google Voice as your voice mail instead of your cell provider
This is basically instructions on how to forward your voicemail to google voice. This should help users with the Google Voice Transition.

7) How to enable Google Voice push notifications on iPhone 3GS

8 )One click International Calling with Google Voice

9) Another Google Voice Python Script
pygooglevoice brings the power of the Google Voice API to the Python language in a simple, easy-to-use manner.

10) Using Google Voice with Fluid (OSX Only)

11) Google Voice Grease Monkey Growl Script

12) Place Google Voice Calls directly from contacts on iPhone (Apple Script)

The script works by adding numbers to contacts in Address Book that dial your contact via Google Voice. The new number is prefixed with your Google Voice number, your pin, and the number two. It dials into your Google Voice number and places the call to your contact.

13) Google Voice Bookmarklet Generator (iPhone or iPod Touch)
Those of you who follow tech news know that there’s been quite a dust-up recently over Google Voice apps on the iPhone. First they were allowed, but now they’re banned. So until they work things out, or Google comes up with a more elegant web-based solution, placing a call using Google Voice on the iPhone is a long and drawn-out process. So Ironic Sans came up with this solution.

14) Google Voice Mobile Web Version
This is the mobile web version of Google Voice. I figured it would be good to note on here.

15) Import Facebook Contacts into your Google Voice Contacts (Script)
Facebook’s API + FBConnect is great but it has some severe limitations. Notably, it doesn’t expose all the functionality available on the Facebook site. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to copy a dump of my friends’ names and phone numbers off the site to load into a fresh cell phone. Unfortunately, looking at the API this isn’t possible. Never fear – Greasemonkey provides enough of a hook into Firefox that it would be possible to write a UserScript to accomplish this.

16) Turn Google Voice into a OSX Friendly Application
Google Voice’s web site is nice, but keeping it open in a browser tab can be cumbersome. Mac users, however, can get Growl notifications, complete with transcript previews, and app badge updates with the handy Fluid app. Unfortunately the Fluid App is only available for 10.5 and greater. This was enough reason for me to update, so maybe you should too.

17) Google Voice Dashboard Widget for OSX
Are you looking for an easy way to call or send SMS messages to your contacts using your Google Voice number right from your fingertips? GV Connect is your answer: a Google Voice widget which allows you make calls and send SMS messages from your GV number to your Address Book and Google contacts right from the Dashboard

18) Google Voice Notifier Windows and OSX
A simple system tray notifier for Google Voice. Lets you know when you have unread text or voice messages. The project is written in java and uses Google Voice’s REST service calls. This notifier will work on any platform that supports the java system tray icon.

To find your iPhone’s UDID, just plug it into your computer and wait until iTunes recognizes it. Please note that a Firewire iPod cable will not work, since the iPhone does not have the proper hardware to support firewire connections. Select your phone from the Devices list in iTunes and click the “Summary” tab. To see your UDID, click on the word “serial number” beside the picture of the iPhone. You should see the word “identifer” and an alphanumeric string – this is your UDID.

Alternative: You can also download an app from the Apple Store called Ad Hoc Helper which is a free download. Here is the itunes store URL http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285691333&mt=8

To copy it, just press command + C on your Mac’s keyboard (or control + C in Windows). Now comes the hard part: getting on a developer’s beta testing list.

A repository for every keyboard secret in OS X. Some of these are well known, some are not. Shortcuts in the Menu category are common rather than universal. This list should continue to grow exponentially over time.

Google (and many other search engines) has the ability not only to search on keywords, but also using a more “database-ish” query language to really narrow down your search results. Below is a summary of a few of the most useful lesser known features. Note: in the examples, replace cwire.org with your own domain.

Basic Usage:

• Use quotation marks ” “to locate an entire string.
  eg. “bill gates conference” will only return results with that exact string.


• Mark essential words with a +
  If a search term must contain certain words or phrases, mark it with a + symbol. eg: +”bill gates” conference will return all results containing “bill gates” but not necessarily those pertaining to a conference


• Negate unwanted words with a -
  You may wish to search for the term bass, pertaining to the fish and be returned a list of music links as well. To narrow down your search a bit more, try: bass -music. This will return all results with “bass” and NOT “music”.

General Tips: (I use many of these almost on a daily basis)

• site:www.cwire.org
  This will search only pages which reside on this domain.


• related:www.cwire.org
  This will display all pages which Google finds to be related to your URL


• link:www.cwire.org
  This will display a list of all pages which Google has found to be linking to your site. Useful to see how popular your site is


• spell:word
  Runs a spell check on your word


• define:word
  Returns the definition of the word


• stocks: [symbol, symbol, etc]
  Returns stock information. eg. stock: msft


• maps:
  A shortcut to Google Maps


• phone: name_here
  Attempts to lookup the phone number for a given name


• cache:
  If you include other words in the query, Google will highlight those words within the cached document. For instance, cache:www.cwire.org web will show the cached content with the word “web” highlighted.


• info:
  The query [info:] will present some information that Google has about that web page. For instance, info:www.cwire.org will show information about the CyberWyre homepage. Note there can be no space between the “info:” and the web page url.


• weather:
  Used to find the weather in a particular city. eg. weather: new york

Advanced Tips:

• filetype:
  Does a search for a specific file type, or, if you put a minus sign (-) in front of it, it won’t list any results with that filetype. Try it with .mp3, .mpg or .avi if you like.


• daterange:
  Is supported in Julian date format only. 2452384 is an example of a Julian date.


• allinurl:
  If you start a query with [allinurl:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the url. For instance, [allinurl: google search] will return only documents that have both “google” and “search” in the url.


• inurl:
  If you include [inurl:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the url. For instance, [inurl:google search] will return documents that mention the word “google” in their url, and mention the word “search” anywhere in the document (url or no). Note there can be no space between the “inurl:” and the following word.


• allintitle:
  If you start a query with [allintitle:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the title. For instance, [allintitle: google search] will return only documents that have both “google” and “search” in the title.


• intitle:
  If you include [intitle:] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the title. For instance, [intitle:google search] will return documents that mention the word “google” in their title, and mention the word “search” anywhere in the document (title or no). Note there can be no space between the “intitle:” and the following word.


• allinlinks:
  Searches only within links, not text or title.


• allintext:
  Searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title.


• bphonebook:
  If you start your query with bphonebook:, Google shows U.S. business white page listings for the query terms you specify. For example, [ bphonebook: google mountain view ] will show the phonebook listing for Google in Mountain View.


• phonebook:
  If you start your query with phonebook:, Google shows all U.S. white page listings for the query terms you specify. For example, [ phonebook: Krispy Kreme Mountain View ] will show the phonebook listing of Krispy Kreme donut shops in Mountain View.


• rphonebook:
  If you start your query with rphonebook:, Google shows U.S. residential white page listings for the query terms you specify. For example, [ rphonebook: John Doe New York ] will show the phonebook listings for John Doe in New York (city or state). Abbreviations like [ rphonebook: John Doe NY ] generally also work.

  Putting it all Together:

  Now it’s time to start to get creative with our search terms and really narrow down our results. Now that we have the basics, let’s start to combine them all into one search term.

  Example #1: Search for some MP3s
  Let’s say you’re a Beatles fan and want to see if you can find some of their songs on the Internet without using Kazaa, etc. Try this query:
  
“index of” + “mp3″ + “beatles” -html -htm -php
or you could try this query:

  • “index of/mp3″ -playlist -html -lyrics beatles

    Right away on the first few results returned by Google you can download MP3s.

  Example #2: Mixing some techniques together

  Here’s a simple exercise. We’ll mix around a few terms to get more accurate results. Let’s say we want to research sleep recommendations. One assumption could be that research papers on this topic would most likely be on an educational website — perhaps with a .edu domain. We could try this query:
  
sleep recommendations site:edu

  Maybe we’re in my situation, and am thinking of applying to grad school. Let’s see if we can find the Graduate Studies Admissions Requirements at Indiana University. We could try this query:
  
grad school admission requirements site:iu.edu

  Summary:

  After reading this article, you might be thinking “well, I could probably find those results without remembering these advanced search terms”. Well, the truth is that you probably could. The reason you want to start to use these advanced search tips is because they will help you find what you’re looking for faster. They greatly help narrow down the results, and more often than not, the information you were looking for will be in the first two or three results.

This is a mirror post from http://www.cwire.org/data-mining-using-google/

• Go late, ask for extra. Many times, there isn’t a night manager, and if it’s within 30 minutes of close, anything they give you is less for them to have to throw away and whatnot. They don’t care and you’re hungry. The worst they can say is “no” and then you still have the food you ordered. It works if you purchase some food and then just say that if they have anything else back there that they can throw in the bag, it’d be awesome.


• Busy mixup.  If there is a huge line, order the sandwich only of a meal and then as long as they don’t ask if you want the meal, just say that you ordered the meal when you only get your sandwich. If it’s busy enough, they will often times just give you the drink and fries for free rather than have to slow down the line and deal with it. It works best at Burger King because of the setup of the order line and pickup area.


• Food additives.  Burger King uses wax pencils to mark special orders on wrappers. Get a black wax pencil and peel off some of the pencil and put it in half of your sandwich. Go up and ask for a new sandwich after you’ve eaten about half of yours. 1.5 sandwiches for the price of 1. A little better!
