Click to Flash

Ever wanted to get rid of the torment of the web that is Adobe Flash, but still retain the ability to view Flash whenever you want? 

With ClickToFlash, you can! Using ClickToFlash, all of those icky Flash bits that have infected most webpages on the internets are replaced with a nice, smooth gradient and the word "Flash" set in a nice, pleasing font. When you want to view the Flash, just click on it!

The advantages of ClickToFlash are numerous. Since Flash isn't loaded until you specifically ask for it, your CPU usage will stay at normal levels when browsing the web. This has tons of benefits: web browsing stays speedy, your Mac laptop won't get as hot, and your Mac's fan won't come on as often. 

Although similar to Flashblock for Firefox and Camino, ClickToFlash offers features over and above what Flashblock offers, and it offers them for Safari. YouTube also offers H.264 videos, which are used when viewing YouTube on the iPhone. With ClickToFlash, you get access to those same, higher quality videos.

Features:
  • Block evil Adobe Flash
    Flash only when you want it.
  • One-click Flash loading
    View blocked Flash with just one click.
  • Higher quality YouTube
    Play videos in QuickTime, not Flash.
  • Website Whitelist
    Allow Flash on certain websites.
  • Lowered CPU usage
    Browse the web more quickly.
  • Better battery life
    Browse the web longer on your laptop.
  • Less fan usage and heat
    Browse the web quietly and cooly.
  • Automatic Updating
    Download updates when they're ready.

OmniVision may supply camera for second-gen FaceTime-capable iPad

"OmniVision (OVTI) will supply CMOS image sensors for a second-generation Apple (AAPL) iPad that will launch in the calendar first quarter of 2011, according to a brief research note yesterday from firm Detweiler Fenton," Eric Savitz reports for Barron's.

Will the new iPad ship with two cameras, a 5 MP camera and a VGA camera, and will it support Apple’s FaceTime video chat. Will have to wait till the first quarter for some of those questions but will it support Face Time is a no brainer.
