Increase your Internet surfing speed by Google's help

Google is here to help again,this time with a software that will considerably increase your surfing speed and save you a lot of time.Google Web Accelerator is a FREE application developed by Google that speeds up web browsing by pre-fetching and caching the sites you visit often,which leads to a faster page load for those with high speed connections (DSL or Cable). Dial up speeds are improved only marginally.This tool has a little indicator that keeps you informed on the total web browsing time it has saved you. It does not cache/store any sensitive data that uses the HTTPS protocol - effectively meaning that your internet banking transactions are safe and never stored on a Google server.But there is also a little cach to this.For accelerating internet speed google keeps a check of our browsing habits,that is it keeps a record of the sites we visit often.But they do state that they won’t sell sensitive information.Anyways the google search that we use everyday also tracks our search results(if you didnt know that yes it does).So this is not of much concern.All in all,Google Web Accelerator is really worth it.It can effectively maximize your browsing speed and it works both in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.So give it a try.Originally posted by Ranjeet sodhi of sodhi.org, you can view the original article here.

Increase the life of your Computer DVD drive

This is an interesting one!!!This is for those who watch movies on their computer's dvd rom drive!!!There is a software called dvd idle pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive.By using the Smart Read-ahead Cache, DVDIdle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and then feeds it to DVD player. This allows the DVD drive to rest. For example: a 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes when you are watching a 90 minutes DVD movie.here is the link:http://www.dvdidle.com/download/DVDIdlePro59.exe

Websites which have been blocked in many countries can be accessed.Here are some tricks that might help :

1.Proxy server :Use a proxy server to access restricted sites.A proxy server (or proxies) is a normal computer that hides the identity of computers on its network from the Internet. Which means that only the address of the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are using it to browse the Internet. Just visit the proxy server website with your Web browser and enter a URL (website address) in the form provided.List of Proxy serversJust click on this link and it will take you to a page having a long list of proxies.You can either choose one yourself or let the service choose a random proxy for you.You can now visit any site with these proxy servers.Also bookmark the DMOZ directory of free web-based proxy services and DMOZ directory of free proxy servers .2.Use softwares for getting proxies:There are several softwares available for using proxies.Just search on google to get an endless list.One of them is Hide ip platinum.Get it at http://rapidshare.de/files/35879852/HideIPPlatinum_3.2.rar.html3.Convert ip to decimal:The third trick may work at some places and wont at others.This is a lesser known trick i came across recently.Suppose you want to access www.orkut.com. Go to start->run type cmd.Now type ping www.orkut.com (space between ping and www)You will get an ip address for www.orkut.com,note it down.Now go to http://www.allredroster.com/iptodec.htmEnter the ip in the enter ip address field and press calculate.You will get an address in Decimal field.This is it.Copy this address and type it in your browser,if lucky www.orkut.com or any other blocked site for which you do this should open.For example,for orkut you get the decimal address as http://1208930645

Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?

If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you're not sure whether you're signing up for something safe or not.It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe(or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as username+insertanythingyouwanthere@gmail.comFor example if your email id is james@gmail.com,you can provide james+21@gmail.com or james+test@gmail.com .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don't worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to username+whateveryouputhere@gmail.com go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.
