Often you might have come across websites that have been blocked by your ISP, an example is youtube, which is blocked in Pakistan. To access such websites, you can use a proxy server. There are dozens of sites offering free web proxy; ONLINE. The most popular one is 12345proxy.net, though in my opinion, the best one is Umer Rock’s Proxy Server.

But using such services can be tiring, the other option is to use some Software,  this one is slightly more preferrable and preferred.

Now, the thing is that not all of the proxy sites and tools work on Youtube. About an year ago I was fine with ultrasurf, but now if i use ultrasurf, i am able to surf Youtube, but it displays an error whenever i try to play a video. Same goes for many others.

If you wanna go for some software, then the best option is to download and install Hotspot Shield. It integrates with your browser automatically, just make sure it is connected.

So, the conclusion is that if you wanna use some online tool, go for Umer Rock’s Proxy Server, but if you wanna use some software, go for Hostpot.

Go to Google and type “do a barrel roll” and press enter. 😉

Why does Internet Explorer exist?

So that we can download chrome! 😀

Now you can edit your FB Privacy Settings from the top bar. This is not yet available to everyone.

You might have noticed people making strange characters like “☺☻♥” on facebook e.t.c. Some of these, take the heart for example, can be _Triggered _using special codes, in this case, “<3”. But not every single one of them has codes known to public.

Anyways, these characters can be added by pressing Alt + (any key from the num-pad).

Examples:

1. alt + 1 = ☺
2. alt + 2 = ☻
3. alt + 3 = ♥

Chromium OS is an open-source, linux-based operating system, designed by google to work with web based applications. Its quite a simple one really, and not the sort everyone would like, in fact, the only application it comes with is a browser (though of course you can install more apps.)

Anyways if you feel like trying it, there are two ways to do so. The first is to download the disk image, burn a usb or dvd with it and boot with it. But if you dont wanna take any risks, you can try it on virtual box. All you need is virtual box, and the Chrome OS Virtual Disk.

The Process is simple. Start Virtual Box and create a new Machine. Select Linux Ubuntu as the OS Type, and when you come to the “Hard Drive” part, check “Use an Existing virtual hard drive file, and browse to the one you just downloaded. That’s it.

Now start the machine, the configuration process would hardly take a minute. Then just login with your google account.
