Microsoft New Search Engine – Bing

May-31-2009 By Jeffric
bing“So far in 2009, there are four and a half websites created EVERY SECOND as the web continues to expand. While more searchable information is cool, nearly half of all searches don’t result in the answer that people are seeking.
At the same time, the way the world searches is changing. You want more than just information. You want knowledge that leads to action.
The truth is you’ve evolved. It’s time search caught up.
So we had an idea. Start over. And we did.
We took a new approach to go beyond search to build what we call a decision engine. With a powerful set of intuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will help you make smarter, faster decisions. Read the rest of this entry »

Speedier Google Chrome

For more than a month now I’ve been using Google Chrome. Last month, I have read about Google Chrome – a fast browser. Out of curiosity, I have downloaded and installed Google Chrome. I have tried browsing using IE, Firefox and Chrome, comparing its performance. Google Chrome literally nailed the two browsers (IE, Firefox).

Browsing Prohibited Websites

May-22-2009 By Jeffric

Does you company/school banned certain websites, such as friendster, youtube, etc? Don’t be sad. There are several tools and ways to bypass network firewall.

(Warning: Browsing prohibited sites is punishable!!!) :D

1. Easiest way is to use a proxy website.  Although this method is not very reliable (I have tried this in my firewall with a maximum setting.. aw! it does not work..hehehe) But it works in many cases (referring to other firewalls/settings). To start browsing prohibited website click the link below:

2. If using proxy doesnt work, then you may try this one.  (Note: Do this in your home, your friends home or in an internet cafe, not in your office..if you dont want to get caught! :D ) Read the rest of this entry »
