Firefox Testing Snooze Tabs Feature, Lets You Snooze Tabs Until You Need Them

Mozilla is testing a new feature for Firefox that lets you manage tabs better. The Snooze Tabs feature essentially just shuts a tab, only to open it back later. Using this new feature, the Firefox User can snooze any tab up to a specified time, and this tab will then open in the background at the mentioned time. Mozilla is testing Pulse, a developer feedback tool for Firefox.
The Firefox Snooze Tabs feature helps in managing your tabs better and is useful for those users who work with multiple tabs on their browser. This feature will also allow you to remember important chores that you want to keep for later (but tend to forget at most times). Snooze Tabs lets a tab disappear for a while, and appear back on the browser once the snooze time ends. There's a bell icon that appears on the top-right of Firefox, clicking which will allow you to choose a time when you want the tab to return. There are options like later today, tomorrow, this weekend, next week, next month, for easy configuration. After choosing the option, the tab will go away until the time specified, at which point the tab will load in the background so that your current work is not disrupted. Chrome offers this in the form of a third-party extension called Tab Snooze which pretty much does the same thing.
Another feature that Firefox is testing is called Pulse which allows users to send feedback to the developers on which sites work well in Firefox and which sites don't. There's a new Pulse button added in the bookmark bar, and it allows for a rating of a site's performance with one through five stars. This feature is mainly useful for Firefox engineers, as the feedback will help in work management.
As mentioned, Firefox is currently testing both these features, but it should arrive on the stable version soon. For all those who cannot wait, you can try out Snooze Tabs and Pulse right away by activating Mozilla's Test Pilot extension. This extension essentially allows users to try out work-in-progress features before they arrive on the stable channel. Test Pilot works for Windows, mac OS, and Linux operating systems.

Microsoft's cloud data centers Microsoft and the Software Defined Data Center Microsoft's Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) vision has taken a long time to come to fruition. Born as part of its dynamic data center model, it's taken more than a decade to become a set of shipping products. The numbers for Microsoft's cloud are impressive: over a million servers and more than a hundred sites around the world. So if we're going inside one, it might be an idea to start with some statistics. ·           1989: Microsoft opens its first datacenter on its Redmond, Washington campus. ·           200-plus: The number of online services delivered by Microsoft's datacenters 24x7x365. ·           $15 billion-plus: Microsoft's investment in building its cloud infrastructure. ·           30 trillion-plus: The number of data objects stored in Microsoft datacenters. ·           1.5 million-plus: The average number of requests its networks proce

YOUTUBE Copyrights:  How YouTube identify copyrighted material is uploaded to their site?                 Whether We are an artist, a technologist, a lawyer or a fan, the handling of copyright directly impacts our life. Rights management is no longer simply a question of ownership, it's a complex web of relationships and a critical part of our cultural landscape. YouTube cares deeply about the rights of content owners, but in order to give us choices about what they can do with copies, mashups and more, they   need to first identify when copyrighted material is uploaded to our site. Let's look at a specific video so we can see how it works. Two years ago, recording artist Chris Brown   released the official video for his single "Forever." A fan saw it on TV, recorded it with her camera phone,   and uploaded it to YouTube. Because Sony Music had registered Chris Brown's video in their Content ID system, within seconds of attempting to upload the video, t
