Eclipse Europa

I’ve been using Eclipse for several years, but NetBeans now has many advantages over Eclipse (before Europa) — easy installtion of all the packages and modules with one set up for J2EE, Swing, UML, J2ME, etc.

Foxit Reader 2.0: How To Disable Ads

Posted by Keith under Cool Apps

By default, the free version of Foxit Reader has five Ads. You can prevent them from appearing again by disabling each of them one by one. To disable the ads, follow this tech recipe:

  1. Open up a PDF file in Foxit Reader.
  2. You will notice an add in the upper right corner.
  3. Click View and then click Advertisement to turn it off.
  4. Close Foxit Reader.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 until no ads appear in the upper right corner.

By taking just a minute or two to do this, you will never be bothered by these ads again.
