Futurama is coming back

It’s been known for some time that Futurama was coming back, almost certainly in the form of four feature length films. Finally at Comic-Con we got the entire scoop. There will indeed be four movies, shot in wide screen, released straight to DVD & Hi-Def DVD. The first film, ‘Bender’s Big Score’ will be released on November 27th.

The remaining three films will be titled, ‘The Beast with a Billion Bucks’, ‘Bender’s Game’ and ‘Into the Wild Green Yonder’. There was no information as to their release date.

The most interesting news was that each film was going to be divided into episodes to be aired on Comedy Central. I wasn’t clear on whether they plan to air four episodes after each DVD release or wait until all the films are out and run a 16 episode season.

The cast was as always, awesome. They thanked the fans for bringing the show back, mocked Fox’s decision to cancel and provided the audience many an opportunity for laughter.

Getting the Old Google Image Search Back

I’ve heard that many people hate the new design of Google Image Search and want the old one back. It’s pretty easy to do that, as Google shows the classic design if you disable JavaScript. But here’s a way to disable JavaScript only for Google Image Search.

Firefox
Go to your Firefox profile. For Windows XP, go to Start/Run and type:
%appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
Then click on your profile’s folder and open user.js in Notepad (if you can’t find it, create a blank text file named user.js). Add these lines at the end of the file:

user_pref(“capability.policy.policynames”, “nojs”);
user_pref(“capability.policy.nojs.sites”, “http://images.google.com”);
user_pref(“capability.policy.nojs.javascript.enabled”, “noAccess”);

You should replace images.google.com with your localized version (for example: images.google.co.uk).

Then restart Firefox.

Opera
If you use Opera 9 and you want to return to the old design:

* go to Google Images
* right-click and select “Edit site preferences”
* go to the Scripting tab
* uncheck “Enable JavaScript”
* click OK and refresh the page

Internet Explorer
These instructions are for Internet Explorer 7, but should also work for IE6.

* visit Google Images
* go to Internet Options
* in the Security tab, select “Restricted” and click on “Custom level” button
* browse to the Miscellaneous section, enable “Allow META REFRESH” and “Launching programs and files in an IFRAME” (you’ll get that these settings will put your computer at risk, which is not really true) and click OK
* click on the “Sites” button and add images.google.com (the site should already be in the text box).

Note: There must be a better way than adding images.google.com to the list of restricted sites.

Safari
For Safari, you can try PithHelmet. Unfortunately, I can’t show you how to use that.
