Internet Explorer Too Can Delete Flash Cookies

Last week, Google Chrome added a Flash cookie deleting feature in the dev channel of the browser enabling users to remove the persistent Flash local shared objects data from within the browser. This was made possible by the NPAPI ClearSiteData, which Adobe has implemented in Flash Player 10.3. Turns out that Chrome isn’t the only browser that had this function.

The Microsoft IE team announced that Flash cookies can now be deleted with Delete Browsing History feature on IE.

When we released IE8, we added APIs for Internet Explorer so that add-ons such as Flash can respond to Delete Browsing History and InPrivate Browsing, allowing consumers to delete Flash cookies along with other data in browsing history.

Adobe recently announced that Flash Player 10.3 integrates with Delete Browsing History. This means that when you delete your cookies with Delete Browsing History, Flash Player will automatically clear your Flash cookies as well. We applaud the change. It resolves a longstanding privacy issue.

Microsoft has put up a special demo page where you can test this out. Follow the instructions to create a Flash cookie and then see if the cookie you created disappears after you clear all cookies using IE’s browsing history delete function.

Note that you’ll need to download Adobe Flash Player 10.3 Release Candidate and use it with either IE8 or IE9.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
