Accessing Blocked Websites

Some companies and learning institutions try to prevent access to certain websites but proxy sites help Internet users avoid the barriers put by web filters. A proxy will let you bypass firewall and Internet filters and eventually defeat the policies of website blocking. As such, proxies allow you to surf the Internet with anonymity such as torrent anonymous. You will also be able to surf on a website with information such as your location, IP address, browser type and operating system being depicted as originating from a proxy site and not your personal computer. This way, you will be able to unblock websites which have been blocked by various institutions.
Unblock websites
Facebook proxy lets you unblock facebook giving you access from any location. You will be able to do this without disclosing your identity. Thus, you will browse with anonymity and undetected. You can also unblock websites such as Myspace using Myspace proxy, Bebo, friendster, among others.
There is also the VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology that many companies use to share information with their remote computers at their remote offices and homes. Many business institutions use VPN to ensure safety and security of their encrypted data. However, with proxy technology it is possible to learn more on VPN how to access the hidden information.
There are various good reasons why you should want to bypass filters and unblock blocked websites. Various tricks can be used to access various websites. To access a website that has been blocked, do not use the URL. Instead, type IP number. You can then use the URL redirection such as the snipurl.com or tinyurl.com. These will sometimes work like address in URL box and they will not change to a banned site. After this, enter yahoo or Google URL and visit cached page copy. Some anonymizer websites will fetch a blocked page of a website from some of their servers and display them on your computer. The service provider will think that the page you will page viewing will be displayed on an anonymizer website instead of a blocked website. As such, you will be able to access restricted or blocked websites using Google translate tools or yahoo babelfish. All you have to do is to invoke the service of Google translate.
Basically, a proxy server lets your serve the Internet with anonymity. Only the address of the proxy server will be visible and not that of the computer you are using to browse.

Data security – a way of life

Zoritza Petrova — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:52:28 +0000

Data security is none of the problems now-a-days. It used to be a problem in the past but now it has become norm of the day for the businesses to store their confidential and business data online. The data security is so much that various laws have been formulated by almost all countries of the world. These laws tell the people that they will receive punishments if hey will try to hack others’ data. Te data storage online companies will have to suffer if they do not keep the data of the businesses in safe and sound condition. Effective backing up of the data has been made possible and the people are now making it a habit to save and retrieve data online. This is a new way of life of the people and it allows them to access their data from any computing device of their liking. Thus, the American way of “Take it easy” is promulgated.
Data security is no more mentioned among the new generation businessmen as it has become the way of life and the norm of the day. The online backup services are so common that even a very small business may hire the services by paying even less than 100 bucks to the company.

So, What’s the Deal with the Galaxy Nexus?

Zoritza Petrova — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:28:20 +0000

Although it’s only been a few months since it was launched, the Galaxy Nexus has already gotten rave reviews from tech writers and fans of the previous Nexus phones (which are the Nexus S and the Nexus One). Some were even quoted as saying that the Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone so far. But is the result of the collaboration between Samsung and Google (thus the name) really worth the buzz it has gotten so far? Let’s have a look.
What We Like About the Galaxy Nexus
1. The Screen. The first thing that you will notice when you hold the Galaxy Nexus is it’s massive size. Its curved, Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen is 4.65 inches with a whopping 720 x 1280 resolution.
2. Ice Cream Sandwich. No, the phone doesn’t come with an actual ice cream sandwich when you buy it. Rather, we’re talking about the new OS that runs on the Galaxy Nexus—the first Android phone to do so. Officially known as Android 4, the OS is sleek, sexy and beautiful. Of course it comes with a ton of features, like new lock screen actions (you can now access your camera directly from the lock screen) and better text input for fewer errors when you’re typing.
3. More Variants. The Galaxy Nexus is available in 16GB and 32GB variants. But that’s not where the exciting part is, especially if you like tweaking your phone. Aside from selling SIM-unlocked versions, there are also hardware-unlocked ones, giving root access to the phone for better customizability. As for the colors, the Galaxy Nexus is currently available only in black, although a white one (with a black front panel) will reportedly be available in February 2012.
Of course there are more cool stuff in the Galaxy Nexus, but the three so far are our favorites. Despite these pluses, one must realize however that the Galaxy Nexus isn’t a perfect device. And thus, here’s a list of the things we don’t really like about the phone.
What We Don’t Like About the Galaxy Nexus
1. Battery Life. Gone are the days when you can use your phone for days without having to recharge the battery. And like most modern smartphones, the Galaxy Nexus has a dreadful battery life. This can be further aggravated if you often connect via WIFI, have your screen brightness near maximum, etc. etc.—compromises that any smartphone user will sadly have to deal with.
2. The Camera. The price of the Galaxy Nexus alone should tell you that it’s a high-end phone (the SIM-unlocked version costs $799.99 in the US). The camera slapped onto it, however, is a mid-level one. Its rear camera is 5MP, while the front-facing one, is 1.3MP, which is poor compared to the Samsung Galaxy S II’s 8MP and 2MP, respectively.
3. Face Unlock. We still wonder why Google added this feature when even they admitted that the good old PIN lock is much stronger than this one. It’s a fun feature, no doubt about that, but as one to be used to secure a phone, then it’s a major let down. Why? Using just the owner’s picture is enough to unlock the phone.
Don’t get us wrong. Despite these let downs, we really love the Galaxy Nexus for what it is. It truly is Google and Samsung’s best Android phone to date, and the buzz that it has received so far is well-deserved. If you’re looking to get your new Galaxy Nexus on a discounted price or even free, use Sprint promo code.
