Software - TunnelBear

2011-07-30T23:38:00.000+02:00

You are probably thinking to what the F*** is TunnelBear. Well it is software that makes your computer think it is in another country, so if you live in the US you can still access your services from for ex. Europe. By services i mean Netflix and spottily for an example.

TunnelBear is a free software, but it is not a freeware. You get 500 mb of surfing through TunnelBear, but there ways to get more mega bites.
You click a button and it tweets out a text and you get 1 gb of surfing.
There is also the option, to upgrade it for 4, 99$ per month.

When you get it you will have to make an account, but that is easy to do.
When you’re in, it looks like this.

From here you can turn on/off surfing through TunnelBear, but you can also choose what country you want to appear being in. there are only two options right now, but that is far enough.

This app is a very well designed app, and does what it is supposed to, easily without the usual difficulty.

Download it here>> http://Tunnelbear.com

Guide - Organize your media!

2010-08-09T23:41:00.002+02:00

I find that the best way to organize my media, is to use a software called Picasa. It is made by Google and it’s awesome!
It got facial recognition and other cool stuff to keep every thing organized!

Go to http://picasa.google.com/, and press the big blue download button!
Now just install it by following the instructions!
When you open it, it loads all you photos and other media.
In the side bar you can see all the folders whit media in them and they are organized by year and also alphabetically!
But the cool thing is the “Persons” tab here it searches all your photos and finds faces, all these are put in a folder called “unnamed”
Here you can type peoples names in the fields below the photo and make a contact.
When you have done that for lets say one person it automatically finds faces that match and ask you if it is the person!

With this software you can do all kinds of different things like making a collage or a movie but i will go over that in a other tutorial!

If you got ideas for tutorials post a comment, or if you have a question pleas ask. Have a great day!

Guide – 2 of 2 Make your computer faster!

2010-08-04T21:29:00.002+02:00

Ok here is the second part of “Make you computer faster!”

We are going to talk about, things that make it start up faster, and use all its power.
Normally you computer does not use all it power, it only uses 1 processor, but most computers to day go 2 or more.

Ok, now open start menu, and search for “msconfig” if your on xp you can click run and type “msconfig” and press enter.
The go under the boot tab.
1. There is a field called “timeout” this is by standard set to 30 second, but you can set it to 3, this is only for super geeks that know how to cancel a computer shutdown.(maybe i will make a mini tip on that)
2. Now click the “advanced settings” button.
3. The “number of processers” is by default set to 1, but it will make your computer faster by using the most. When it is 1 and you got 2 you only use half of your computers force.
4. When you have done that press ok.
Now go to the tab “services”
1. Press “Hide all Microsoft services”.
2. Here you can look through the programs you don't need.( for example if you installed a Nokia software but now you got a Sony Ericson)
After that go under “Startup”.
1. Here you can turn it all off if you like. But if you got sound driver running in the taskbar don’t shut it off, also look out for internet card driver, and video card driver.
2. If you don't know what are your drivers here they are just off my head.
  1. Soundcard: Realtek.
  2. Internet card: Zyxle, D-link.
  3. Video card: Nvidea, Avi.

If you got ideas for tutorial you can ass all ways post a response in the comments!

There is to ways of making your computer faster 1. “Ccleaner” 2. “msconfig / Microsoft configuration”

Go to this website “http://www.piriform.com/” and click the “VIEW ALL PRODUCTS” button
Ccleaner should be at the top click the little green download button
When clicked a page pops-up and asks you if you want to download it from “http://www.piriform.com” or “http://filehippo.com/” the easiest one is piriform.
When you have downloaded it, open the installation.
The first thing that pops-up is what language you want it in. Make your choice!
After that is will guide you through the installation.
After installing it, it pops-up and there are some things you can check off. leave the standard things checked on, and check all in system on and all in advanced except the last one.
When you check off the things under advanced it gives you a warning and tells you what it will get rid off.
The just press “Run Cleaner” or if you just want to know how much disk space you get press “Analyse”
Now go under registry and press “scan for issues”.

Guide - Make your Google chrome better!

2010-07-30T21:01:00.003+02:00

Google chrome is my first choice when I have to choose my browser. It is safe, fast and simple.

If you want to make your Google Chrome better you can download extensions, they are a way to make your Chrome more customizable,

first go to “the tools icon” and click the extensions (if you don’t got this go and download the newest version of chrome here)
Then there pops up a window with a new page and in the bottom click “get more extensions >>”
and there you go here you can choose the extensions you want. I would recommend “Google mail checker” and “facebook photo zoom” both great applications or extensions.

If you what what other extensions that are great you can post a comment asking me and i will answer. I will also answer other questions.

If you have any suggestions to a tutorial i should make in the future, or some constructive criticism. please leave a comment or PM me. I do appreciate it.

By the way, i'm from Denmark so my English is not the best, but still pretty good.
