Google Search Hack: Free eBooks, Comics, Music, Videos, MP3

September 19, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · Comment 

Free eBooks, Comics, Music, Videos, MP3

The term Google Hack means to utilize Google’s powerful search feature and indexes to narrow down the results to your advantage, in short, you are able to Google for free ebooks, read paid articles with Google cache, download mp3 and many more.

We’re not too sure if this is illegal, but if it is, why would Google allows such search strings to exist?

Search MP3

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Michael Jackson” mp3

Using this string we are using the “index of” and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The mp3 tag on the end tells google to look for mp3s in these open directories. You can change this to wma or ogg if you wish.

Alternative:

Search eBooks

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” +(”/ebooks”|”/book”) +(chm|pdf|zip)

What does all of these weird strings mean? The -inurl htm and -inul html is attempting to filter out the regular html webpages and to display just the index pages. Searching for index of in the title is doing the same. Using the pipe ( | ) tells google to look for something OR something else. The search string is sending a query to google to search for book or ebook directories, several common ebook formats are zip, pdf, and chf.

Alternative:

Search Comics

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbr
or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbz

A large number of comics on the internet comes with a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader software such as CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). However you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer such as ACDsee. Simply rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.

Download Google Chrome Browser

Download Google Chrome screen shot free browser

Google Chrome the new kid on the browser block, one word, the best browser. Google Chrome raised the browser standard one notch higher and one more alternative browser is healthy for the browser market, it means competition and competition produce results.

According to Google, Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Truth is, it is more than a browser, the whole idea is to bring the ‘Operating System like Windows and Mac’ to the internet, in short, Google is out there to kill Microsoft Windows with Google Chrome, it has a new Java Script language, this allows web application developers an opportunity to create web applications that was not possible with other browsers.


Search box - Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs. Instead of having a separate search box like in most browser, in Google Chrome its the address bar and search box.

Download Google Chrome screen shot free browser
Paste and go - I’ve been waiting for this feature in Firefox and IE for quite sometime now, it just doesn’t make any sense to paste the URL and mouse over the ‘go’ button on the end of the address bar. Bravo Google Chrome!


Dynamic Tabs - You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish — quickly and easily.

I think I’m in love with this new browser. Like all Google products, it is in beta mode but it should be safe, just like gmail and more other Google products. According to the official press release:

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

I am a browser fanatic, having 6 types of browser, a comparison between IE6, IE7, Firefox 3, Opera 9.5, Safari 2 and Google Chrome, I can safely conclude that Google Chrome out shine all the others in term of user friendliness, a first for Google Product? I hate Gmail’s layout, probably it is just me with my old ways of reading and writing emails.

Google Book Downloader - Download Books From Google Books

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · 13 Comments 

Google Book Downloader - Download Books From Google Books

Stumbled upon this web application, it amazed me with its ability to extract and list down every single page from Google Books. I can’t be certain if this is considered illegal, but I don’t see any difference between viewing it from my browser and viewing it from an image manager.

As the name implies, Google Book Downloader does exactly what it says, it will give you a list of url of the images, what you need next is a download manager such as Download Accelerator Plus or Flashget.

Downloading the images appears to be breeze free, it was not until half way through the process Google Books decided to cut me off, possibility they system detects an ongoing unusual activity or mass bandwidth consumption that does not justify a normal reading behavior. Superman?

Is it illegal? Well, I’m won’t be too concern about that, the million dollar question is, is it worth the trouble? Just have a look at the screen shot below.

It’s like downloading a broken mp3 where it skips a beat or two every 20 seconds. Nothing is more annoying that missing pages in a book, but then again, these missing pages does not apply across the board. Having said that, do you happen to know that copyright laws are meant to last for 50 years only? This means a huge number of books that falls within this copyright free category are copyright free, good old books such as Oliver Twist and many more.

While you’re busy exploring Google Books, why not treat yourself to some free magazines?

Download Free Norton AntiVirus 2009, No Crack, Keygen or Torrent!

August 14, 2008 · Filed Under Security · 9 Comments 

Yes, you heard me loud and clear, no fake phone activation, no crack, serial or keygen needed. This is a genuine free Norton AntiVirus or also known as Norton Security Scan made free by Google and Norton Symantec.

Download Free Norton AntiVirus 2009, No Crack, Keygen or Torrent!

Google Pack is offering a free edition of Norton Security Scan, better known as the striped down version of Norton AntiVirus 2009. Visit the official website and download the Free Norton AntiVirus - Google Pack.

What is Norton Security Scan?

Norton Security Scan is a software tool designed to help you understand if your computer is currently protected from known threats. Norton Security Scan will scan your computer and identify if there are existing viruses, worms, spyware, unwanted adware or Trojans residing on your computer. Norton Security Scan checks to see how your computer is currently protected.

So, what is the difference between Norton 360 and all the other products compare to the free edition of Norton Security Scan?

Norton Security Scan does not integrate with the operating system to provide real time protection against viruses and spyware, but instead scans your hard drive for viruses and spyware “on demand”, or at a given point in time. It only removes viruses when they are found during a scan, and does not remove them from the PC at the time of infection. It is the lack of real time protection (and integration between Norton Security Scan and the operating system) that ensures that Norton Security Scan can co-exist with other Norton products.

There you go, the only drawback for the free edition Norton Security Scan is the lack of real time protection, you can over come this by manually (right click and select ’scan with norton antivirus’) scan any files you think that are suspicious, for your information it is only available in both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

When it comes to antivirus programs, my advice is don’t go for the crack version downloaded from any torrent websites, it is not worth the risk, hackers knew that the real reason you’re downloading these security software is because your computer is not protected. Always go for the free edition if you can’t afford a genuine copy. For a list of free antivirus, visit this post.

August 12, 2008 · Filed Under Sports · 1 Comment 

The official Beijing 2008 Olympics does provide a much more comprehensive result, but sometimes this can come in handy due to your company’s internet filter policy, I doubt they would ban Google in your workplace, would they?

Having said that, you can pretty much do anything with Google, from tracking your UPS parcel to converting various units by inputting the keyword into Google search box. This is not exceptional for this medal count 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Just type in the keywords as shown in the screen shot below to extract the much needed information on:

Medal count 2008 olympics
Olympic Football Results
Olympic Swimming Timetable/schedule

Medal count 2008 olympics results, timetable and schedule

Medal count 2008 olympics results, timetable and schedule

Medal count 2008 olympics results, timetable and schedule

On the other hand, Google news does provide a much more in depth report on the medal counts 2008 Olympics and Olympic Events schedule and latest news.

Again, this comes pretty handy in work environment where the internet is censored or filtered, after all, Google is the best search engine in town and any company or office would be crazy enough to block it.
