How to Access YouTube If It Is Blocked or Filtered
After toying around with my router for a couple of weeks, I’ve discovered various ways of accessing youtube or any other websites using different techniques such as IP address and proxy surfing. These are simple techniques that do not require the help of a computer nerd.
The IP Address technique - little knowledge is needed, all you need to do is key in the IP address of youtube server and you’re in, this technique works if the network administrator doesn’t block the ip address of the server. Usually the network administrator filters website based on the URL address and not the IP address.

The other technique is proxy surfing - embedproxies.com is the only proxy site that doesn’t disable javascript, thus allowing you to watch videos from youtube, for websites that doesn’t utilize javascript such as youtube, any other proxy sites are good enough.
Please use these methods at your own risk, for your information, most network administrator monitor the web traffic and your chances of getting caught for bypassing their filters are literally quite high.

Broadband Bandwidth Management, Distribute Internet Connection Equally
One of the many problems when it comes to sharing broadband connection is the distribution of bandwidth, I’m having a tough time tweaking my wireless router settings, and things are made worst when the internet is shared between 8 people in the house.
I’ve tried searching for a solution and ways to distribute the broadband bandwidth and finally found out that the only way to distribute the broadband bandwidth equally among everyone is non other than the use of small-office broadband router, it’s the hardware that makes the difference. A good wireless router has the ability to set up a Virtual Private Networking with user ID and password for each individual, each individual can be allocated a certain amount of bandwidth, and a good router has the ability to block all bittorrent ports.


When it comes to choosing the right modem, choose those that comes with VPN (Virtual Private Networking), it is worth the investment and almost everything is on auto-pilot mode, this would prevent bandwidth hogs from loading your connection. Here are some really good VPN wireles routers:


Distributing and sharing broadband internet connection has never been so easy, the best part is these routers has the ability to assign each person a login ID and password, allowing you to keep track on their surfing habits. Big brother is watching you.
If Linksys and D-link is way too expensive, try DrayTek Vigor 2800VG, its the cheapest and yet pack with lots of features that can never be found in D-link or Linksys router. Try the Live Web Admin Interface demo, you’ll be amazed.

ReadyBoost Technology in Windows XP SP3, Increase Memory

Want to speed up your computer without upgrading your RAM? Microsoft ReadyBoost technology in Windows Vista has the ability to boost your system by utilizing any type of flash memory from SD card to USB Thumbdrive. I was hoping that Windows XP service Pack 3 comes with ReadyBoost technology but I doubt that is going to happen.
ReadyBoost is a great technology when you’re low on RAM, especially when you’re into graphics, multimedia and gaming, it is not as responsive as a RAM but good enough to increase responsiveness and performance to a certain level.
Fear not, eBoostr is here to save the day. eBoostr offers such an easy and relatively cheap solution to the problem of insufficient RAM, that you will have absolutely no need to buy additional memory. All you need to boost your computer performance: is plug in a flash drive, choose it as a device to speed up your computer and set the amount of the memory space to be used.
Highlights
- Vista’s ReadyBoost benefits on your Windows XP® machine;
- Smart caches frequently used applications and files for maximum performance speed up;
- Supports both USB and non-USB removable media devices, as well as additional hard disks;
- Allows up to 4 devices for simultaneous smart caching;
- Cache file size of up to 4GB on each device;
- Compatible with all ReadyBoost® ready devices.
eBoosts 1.1 is such a great application, for a person that is into graphic designing and still stuck in Windows XP, I would say eBoost 1.1 is a good investment, it is just 29 dollars. Don’t go on google for Cracks, Serial or Keygen, it is not worth it, support the author.
Another option besides eBoostr is to reconfigure your Windows Pagefile system, right click on ‘my computer’ properties and the proceed to change your default Pagefile system drive from C: to the one assigned by Windows for your computer, it can be E: or F: depending on the numbers of storage drives you installed in your system.

How to Download Books From Google

Up until now, there is no possible way of downloading ebooks from Google Books, Google only allows people to read the out-of-copyright books online (and only snippets of copyrighted works). The Inferno of Dante Alighieri By Dante Alighieri, John Dayman is an example of out-of-copyright books that can be downloaded online for free.
Please note that the copyrighted ebooks from Google Books can never be downloaded for free, personally I believe Google is slowly moving into the affiliate market in the near future and this could be the first step towards it. I have to admit that I bought a few book after going through Google Books and Google would be crazy not to make some money out of it.
On a lighter note, here are two popular online ebook companies, perfectly legal and free - Gutenberg and Scribd (the best).
