BitLet is a web-based BitTorrent client that makes BitTorrent available to the occasional user, and to those who can’t install a regular BitTorrent client like µTorrent or Transmission on their computers. No configuration is needed to use BitLet, just drop-in the URL of the torrent file and you’ll get a pop-up window that shows the download speed, download bar, number of seeders, and a download status led that signals potential problems. (see screenshot above). Anyway if you default settings are not OK for you, then go to BitLet Settings where you can modify BitLet’s incoming connection port and maximum upload rate. More»

As shown in the screenshot above, when setting up Chrome sync you can choose not to include your Chrome Preferences and/or Autofill.

Google Chrome Dev has been updated to version 5.0.356.0 for Windows, Linux, this update brings ‘Form Autofill’ feature which is enabled by default for new profiles. To add a new ready-to-use profile information that you can subsequently use to autofill web forms, fill-in your personal information in the Options -> Personal Stuff -> Change Autofill settings. Multiple profiles can be created, and they can have the same ‘Labels’, though it doesn’t make much sense. Unwanted profiles can be deleted from within the AutoFill Profile windows. Dis-enabling the in-built form autofill does not cancel your information.
