If the Internet wasn’t a word describing a virtual world of computers, joined together in a network, how would it look like?

Walk2Web is a really interesting website, trying to do exactly that – visualize the connections between sites, while allowing to view, review, bookmark and vote for your favorite sites. After trying it with a few sites, we found that you can find amazing connections and many interesting sites, by taking a five minutes walk, down the Internet’s lane.

Here is my footsteps:

I told you guys about how to make DRM free Zune tracks a couple of days ago, but today I just found out that by using the same program, FairUse4WM, and a few extra steps, you can save Netflix streaming movies indefinitely and share to your friends.

Using only Internet Explorer, Windows Media player, notepad and two programs, Mirakagi and FairUse4WM of course, a user by the name of DIzzIE offers step-by-step instructions on Rorta forum.

In a post on forum.rorta.net titled “How to Rip Netflix ‘Watch Now’ Movies,” a user going by the handle DIzzIE [antikopyright 2007] claims to explain how to save and decrypt the downloadable Watch Now movies from Netflix so that “you can convert them to other mediums and watch them at your leisure.”

To respond DIzzIE hack, after his initial post introducing the hack, Netflix updated the Individualized Blackbox Component with the hope it would null the hack.
But, as of now, DIzzIE goes on to detail a workaround at the same forum. Wow! DIzzIE is way too smart, huh?

If you think Google Earth is only for viewing hybrid image and satellite imagery for streets and building, think again! Because Google earth can take this kind of pic too:

Still don’t believe it, right? Think I play with Photoshop? Here is Google Maps link. Go there and choose Satellite. You will see that man is looking up.

How can we get it? Here’s how:


Go to Google Maps
1. Select a location and switch to satellite view
2. Zoom in as far as you can, and click “link to this page” at the top right
3. Now replace the “z” parameter in the URL with a higher value, e.g. 20, 22, or 23, and wait. Some locations will now show more detailed imagery

Remember you might be able to zoom more to only those location which could zoom to highest level(z=18).

If you want to see more, check what others found out here and here.

Updated: Now I have found out the truth about Google Earth.

I’ve found out dnScoop.com and it’s quite fun to check how much your domain or favourite domain worth. How they value a domain? Here is their explanation:

dnScoop.com attempts to estimate a value for an established website or a domain name by using factors such as:

* Links pointing to the domain
* Popularity of the domain
* Age of the domain
* Pagerank of the domain
* Traffic to the domain
* and more…

We believe that these factors are a good indicator of a site’s value and earning potential. We don’t claim that the tool is 100% accurate, but we are constantly working to improve accuracy.

I have made a search for problogger.net, it show that it is worth $234,350.

Btn is now worth only $70. :( Let’s see what’s the value at the end of this year :D . Check for your domain now. It is really fun!

If you’re itching to download a torrent at school or work, where you are not authorized to install any software, you can use this web-based java bit torrent client. This is so cool if you just want to download only one torrent at a time. All you need is Java Virtual Machine.

Here is the snapshot of Bitlet download in progress.

Improve your Video Streaming Experience

I’ve found the program called “Speedbit Video Accelator“. It supports the following video networks:

How it’s works?

With SpeedBit Video Accelerator installed, your browser’s connection to specific streaming video server is being rerouted through the Video Accelerator Daemon. Unlike the normal browser connection, the Daemon uses a unique patent pending technology, that substitutes the single connection with a sophisticated multi-connection algorithm. The end result is an (up to) 5 times faster connection, which handles the cache buffering (the “preloading” of the movie) much more efficiently.

BtN’s Tips : Even though they don’t disclose their technology, I’ve observed that this program makes several connection to the video that you’re playing. For my case, without this program, I can see only three connections to dailymotion, but after using this program, it makes 8 connections. By this way, it accelerates the video. So, if your connection is dialup, using this program won’t make any difference.
