Free Antivirus most people don’t know

If I say free antivirus, we will think about Antivir or AVG-free edition right away. Yes, these two free antivirus perform great. But I wanna let you know that McAfee is also free. What? I know what you’re thinking. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE! But it is. AOL made it free if you have aol account. So what if you don’t have AOL account? It tooks only 5 minutes to create free aol account and you’ll get McAfee Antivirus for free, yeah free!

Actually AOL provide not only just antivirus, but includes Firewall and antispyware too. So, if you’re looking for free antivirus or hesitate to renew your almost expire antivirus subscription, you should give it a try.

Download Youtube video in your favourite format

I used to download Youtube videos using VideoDownloader. But after downloading, if I want it on my mobile devices, I need to use another converter. Usually it tooks sometimes and have got problem if I want that video from internet cafes, where I can’t install any programs.

Now, I have found that a new very useful website that can convert Youtube video to many video formats such as *.3gp *.mp4 *.wmv *.mpeg *.mov *.swf *.avi.

That website is called all2convert.

Type the url of Youtube video that you want to convert and that’s it. This could be used even inside the company’s firewall which block youtube url (Of course, you need to know the url of the video you want to convert and download)

Even though I am emphasizing for Youtube, all2convert supports Google video and you can upload video file from your computer to convert too.

BtN’s tips : It takes some time to convert a video. So that it would be better if you want to convert Youtube or Google video on-the-fly. To convert video from your computer, you’d rather use software installed on your computer. It would be very painful to upload and wait for converting time at all2convert.com.

How to restore tabs in Firefox

If you ever used Opera, you may like its ability to resume all the tabs from your previous sessions. You may notice that Firefox 2.0 has the capability to resume all the tabs you opened after a system crash.

Actually you can config firefox to always resume just like in Opera. You don’t need to install any extensions or add-ons for this.

• Just go to Tools–>> Options
• Main–>> When Firefox Starts under Startup: Drop down menu –>> Choose “Show my windows and tabs from last time”

That’s it! Enjoy your surfing with Firefox.

Google image can search faces

This is the coolest trick I’ve ever got for Google.

You can use Google Image search to search only faces of people. Did you know that already? If not yet, try these:

- Ordinary Image Search for Microsoft
- Faces Image Search for Microsoft

This picture is faces search for keyword, “Microsoft”, on Google Images.

You need to add the following line after the image search queries to use face search.

&imgtype=face

Your address bar should look like below:

If you don’t want to use manually typing, you can select from Google Advance Image Search option as in the following picture.

How could this be useful? Well, if you are looking for images of the people behind popular companies, products or even countries, this tool will be very handy indeed.

Updated: I just figured out that Windows live also just introduces faces search at July 27. (See their official blog). Thanks garyprice for the info.

To use new feature in Windows Live image search, try these:

1.without the new features – jimi hendrix
2.with new face filtering on – jimi hendrix filter:face
3.with new portrait filtering on – jimi hendrix filter:portrait
4.with new black and white filtering on – jimi hendrix filter:bw

Currently, this Window Live feature is only available by adding the following filter after the image search queries,
filter:face, filter:portrait, or filter:bw. Microsoft may make these features accessible through a drop-down menu or maybe radio button (just like Google) soon.

Microsoft has also provide you Related People feature on the right side of the screen. Try it! You will be amazed by the new technology of the world’s two giants companies.

Gmail custom domain vs Yahoo mail

Since I’ve bought bridgetonova.com domain, I haven’t setup up any email addresses yet. Of course, my domain registrar provide Forward Email for free of charge, but I want POP3 access. So I am shopping for email services.

Yahoo! provide these email services.

But when I checked for Gmail, it’s free! (Link) Not only Google provide this services for free, but also far more better than Yahoo! Services.

While Yahoo! provide only 1 or 10 email addresses for either $34.95/year or $9.95/mo, Google provide 100 email addresses for free. Yes! that’s right 100 email addresses for your domain.

Without any hesitation, I’ve already signed up with Google. Now you can contact me at jason at mydomain name.

I’m really wondered is there anyone who would buy Yahoo! email services.

Faster way to type internet address

Most of webmasters and computer geeks might have already know this. But I want to share this to those who don’t know yet.

If you want to type www.blogger.com, you don’t have to type every word. It’s too time consuming. You can simply type blogger in the address bar and then press Ctrl+Enter

For .net ? Shift+Enter = www.blogger.net
For .org ? Ctrl+Shift+Enter = www.blogger.org

These shortcuts work in both IE and Firefox.
