access-blocked-websites

I have previously written some articles/tutorials on How to access blocked websites at school/college/office/cyber cafes etc. These methods can still help you to unblock websites. But then, there is no fool-proof way as such since it all depends on how smart your network admin is. So, here I present yet another way to access blocked sites which is based on the method of bypassing URL filtering employed by the admin.

Access Blocked Websites by Bypassing URL Filtering

Most of the network admins in schools and colleges block a website by its name (http://www.xxx.com) or by its IP address. Assuming this is the case, we will learn about a way to bypass the URL filtering. Step 1: Find out the IP address of the blocked website which you are trying to access. Let us take...

Fix for “Facebook Chat Hijacks the Firefox Session”

by
Social Media, Tiny Tip
If you are a Facebook + Firefox user, you might have come across this persistent problem whenever you use Facebook chat.
When I am typing to someone in Facebook chat and they send me a message, it cuts off what I am typing then it resumes typing with some letters missing. Also when I am viewing another page, off Facebook and someone messages me in Facebook chat it pops me back to the Facebook page with the chat window open.
Basically, your Firefox session will be hijacked by the Facebook chat till you read the latest chat message. I found it really annoying, so just avoided it by going offline from Facebook chat. I initially thought I am the only one facing the issue but was surprised to see few others having the same issue! So today, I wanted to find out the reason and a possible solution for this, so that I need not hide myself from Facebook chat. This is when I bumped onto this page on Facebook issues and found the possible solution. The problem was with QuickTime plugin for Firefox. I disabled the plugin and the issue was resolved!

The Best Mininova Alternatives

News

mininova-alternatives

If you are a torrent downloader, you must be knowing by now that Mininova has decided to go legit, deleting all infringing torrents from its index marks, leaving only those which populate its content distribution service. Mininova was billed as the largest BitTorrent search engine and directory on the Internet, lost a legal battle with Dutch anti-piracy unit - BREIN and was given three months to comply with an order to removed torrents that infringed copyright. Mininova was formed in 2005 by five Dutch college students, and has been providing free content worldwide ever since its inception. What this shocking decision by Mininova would mean is the removal of more than a million torrents, many of which were not infringing any copyrights at all. Thankfully, there are still plenty of alternatives for those BitTorrent users who are looking for the latest Ubuntu, OpenSUSE or Fedora release.

Below are some of the top public bit-torrent sites which are still open, taken from TorrentFreak and added with my personal favorites. 1. Vertor 2. SeedPeer 3. Torrentreactor 4. Alive Torrents 5.
