It is expected that the price of this service will fall significantly, and could as much as 1000 dollars by 2015 and the a couple of days to map your complete human DNA.

Firefox Tab Reload Issue Resolved!

I had to reinstall my operating system again because of major issues with a Trojan Horse Virus. In some ways I am thankful as my laptop now runs faster because of the lower payload (which wont last long -I guess!).
After installing various important software packages that I uses often, I start using tabs in Firefox, then to my horror I find that when I multi tab browse, each time I reselect one of the tabs I had open previously, it refresh/reloads itself.  This became very annoying for me, in fact annoying  enough to make me consider switching back to IE8 or even use Google’s Chrome (which is quite good to use, but I am too familiar with Firefox to have changed to it  in the past). Anyway, after much experimenting I found the issue, it’s to do with eBay -yes, because specifically its their Skype plugin that causes the reload/refresh tab each time you switch to it.

Resolving it means uninstalling the Skype plugin – eBay can you get your act together with your overpriced purchase of Skype, and resolve this issue by stopping this bug. While on the subject of eBay, can you guys (John Donahoe and girl: Meg Whitman ~ former CEO) at eBay,  can you stop messing with peoples lives by making eBay so rubbish and difficult and very risky place for sellers to plan ahead (stock buying, ), when you keep changing the way eBay works.
If you want to make money and keep buyers and sellers at eBay then reverse the mess Meg Whitman has caused make things how it use to be.
