Macbook Retina VirtualBox Windows 7 full screen problem

-
Yesterday, I installed VirtualBox with a Windows OS on to my Macbook Retina and realized that guest screen resolution does not match with my new host screen resolution. I tried to change the resolution on both operating systems but the problem is not solved.

Today, I installed "Guest Additions..." which is located under Devices menu of VirtualBox (shortcut Host+D). Guest Additions installed couple of drivers including a video driver. I restarted after the installation, and chose "Auto-resize Guest Display" under View menu of VirtualBox (shortcut Host+G). My guest OS is started to resize correctly and expand to the whole screen!

Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser. The steps that I follow to accomplish my goal are provided below; For Android Emulator; 1. From the terminal invoke the adb command with remount option otherwise you will get "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system". adb remount 2.

Get a copy of the the hosts file in your computer and modify it according to your needs. 4. Now we can push the file directly to the emulator. adb push /home/player/hostBack...

Space Character Problem on IE 6, 7, and 8

-
Most of the time, we need to put space in between two HTML elements to separate them. There are bunch of ways to achieve this but the following are the most common ones that I use: Space character ( ) CSS Margin (margin-right/margin-left) Space character is so natural separate them but CSS margin gives more flexibility. Also recently, I found out that in IE 6, 7, 8, extra space characters between HTML elements are not rendered as intended. For instance regular space character ( ) is rendered without the space on older version of IE (older than 9) a   b Result in IE 6, 7, 8: ab Whereas, if you use CSS (e.g. margin-right: 4px), all versions of IE renders it correctly a b Result in all IEs: a b
