Use Incognito Private Window To Browse the Internet Anonymously on All Browsers

2019-02-27T11:07:00.000+00:00

All browsers have an option to browse the Internet anonymously, your history wont be saved, cookies and info entered in forms for example also wont be saved. Do note you are only anonymous on your side so for example your service provider can see the sites you visit. In general Incognito or private browsing is handy for taking a quick look at your social media or latest sports scores while at work without leaving history of it on the computer for your boss to see.

Chrome Incognito Browsing

In the top right corner of the browser you should see three dots that represent the menu. Simply click this menu to open a drop down and choose "New Incognito Window".

Shortcut: ctrl+shift+n

Firefox Private Browsing

Again in the top right we have a menu this time represented by three vertical lines. Click this menu and choose "New Private Window".

Shortcut: ctrl+shift+p

Microsoft Edge InPrivate Browsing

Microsoft edge has the same position for its menu in the top right hand corner of the screen and as with Chrome represented by three dots. Press the menu and choose "InPrivate browsing".

Shortcut: ctrl+shift+p

Safari Private Window

On a mac click "File" in the top menu then "New Private Window".

Keyboard Shortcut: command+shift+n

Remember Private browsing can be useful but it is not a licence to conduct anything illegal online, your activity will not be tracked by your computer but your Internet service provider can tract all websites you visit while browsing privately.

Non Biased List of 6 Best Online Casinos (No Affiliate Links Just Genuine)

2019-02-24T16:40:00.000+00:00

One of the problems when it comes to finding an online casino to play is if you find a list of "The best online casinos" or a website that lists new casinos these lists will be totally biased !

The links you click to check out a casino will be affiliate links so if you sign up and deposit the owner of the website makes money. So it's not in their best interest to show you the best casinos, the reliable casinos, the casinos that pay quickly. No, their prerogative will be to show you the casinos that pay Them the most for your sign up !

So, I am not a casino affiliate and make no money for people signing up. My list is honest and from my experience having a bash at the slots online. You will see the links are direct links and don't include a tracking code.

The casinos Pay fast, have great customer service, great bonuses and a fantastic range of slots and table games.

Do remember while these are fair reputable casinos in the long run you will loose!

1. Videoslots.com

Videoslots have all the top games from Netent to Big time gaming and Novomatic/Greentube to Push gaming. The welcome bonus is not added to your account as soon as you deposit you release it as you play, you do get an extra €10 added to your balance as soon as you deposit though (I kinda like this format). I love the money back features here in the Weekend booster were you get a percentage of your money played back. Also look out for the "Battle of slots" free-rolls, you can win up to 200 spins every two hours for free.

2. Casumo.com

Casumo have a fantastic welcome bonus and have games from all providers like Wms and Thunderkick. When you make a withdrawal you can lock it, this means you are not given the option to "reverse withdrawal". In my experience however withdrawals are completed within an hour or so.

3. Wunderino.com

Perhaps a less known casino but they have games from the providers we love but few casinos have, mainly I love Novomatic/Greentube. Again lots of deposit methods and lighting quick withdrawals.

4. LeoVegas.com

Leo Vegas is a long established casino and like those in the list has all the games from all the providers. Indeed if your a fan of Big Time Gaming slots Leo Vegas has an exclusive deal where they will be the only casino with the newest BTG slot usually for a period of two weeks.

5. Betsafe.com

The clue isn't always in the name, I once played a casino actually called "fast paying casino" yet it took over two weeks to get my winnings! Here though you can bet safely on Betsafe. Along with your welcome package Betsafe has daily bonuses. Here as indeed on Leo Vegas above you can avail of sports book betting also.

6. Slotsmillion.com

Last but by no means least is Slots million. Again all the games you like including those mad high volatility slots from Merkur. Slots Million probably have the largest selection of slots .

I have played all these casinos and made withdrawals on all these casinos. If you are going to take a bonus on any casino please please please take the two minutes it takes to read the bonus terms they differ on all casinos. However the bonuses on these casinos have no hidden rules to catch you out.

Do remember while these are fair reputable casinos in the long run you will loose!

Please gamble responsibly.

The game breaks the questions into six categories Geography, Science, Sport, Entertainmant, History and Art. The questions in general are not too hard and players can even submit their own questions to be added to the game. Play Trivia Crack On Facebook.

Superbuzzer

Superbuzzer is a more fun animated layout where you can play with other random Facebook users, your friends or a mixture of both. The game has three rounds starting with 6 players this is cut to four after five questions, then the four are cut to two finalists. The one critizism of the game is how few lives players get and the time having to wait before getting new lives. Play Superbuzzer On Facebook.

WazzaSound

Wazza Sound is a music quiz in the same style as Superbuzzer but this time instead of questions you hear clips of music and you are asked either the Song Title or the Artist. A really fun fast paced game again you can play against friends or other Facebook users. Don't worry if your general music prowess is not the best you can choose different genres such as Pop, Rock, Country or music from specific decades. Play WazzaSound On Facebook.

The Titanic is the most famous ocean liner in history, for all the wrong reasons. Already an often told story when James Cameron released the film Titanic in 1997 it catapulted the Belfast built ship into the conscience of another generation. The film came just 15 years before the 100 year anniversary of the sinking, amazingly survivor Millvina Dean who was just two months old when she borded the Titanic lived to see the film (Millvina passed away in 2012).

But even though it's less than 20 years since the film a lot of what we know about the tragedy has changed. Now for the first time thanks to Titanic Honor And Glory you can see the events in real time. With amazing graphics they have recreated the night starting just before the ship struck an Iceberg at 11:40 PM on the 14th April 1912. The video covers the 2 hours 40 minutes it took for the "Unsinkable" ship to go down taking over 1500 passengers and crew with her.

2015-02-07T21:09:00.000+00:00

On a Documentary Site I'm involved with we embed videos mainly from YouTube but something was really annoying me, those darn annotations ! Now I don't mind a simple annotation in the corner we can click to subscribe or at the end of a videos if some other videos from the channel are showcased. But more and more I find videos plastered with annotations and it absolutely ruins the viewing experience.You try to click the little X to remove an annotation but click the box instead or as you close one another appears arghhh.

So I wanted the viewing experience on Documentary Fans to be annotation free and I found the way to achieve that goal.By adding a small tag to the embed code annotations are disabled and here is how to do it.

Open Google Search Results In New Window By Default

2015-02-02T16:18:00.000+00:00

Did you know you can set Google search results to open in a new window or tab by default ? No ? Either did I until I found it by accident while looking for something completely different.

This works just the same as on many websites that use a tag in links (target="_blank") to make them open in a new window so you don't leave their site.On Google by default your search results when clicked go straight through to the website in the same window.

Open Search Results Google New Window Default

1. Go To http://www.google.com/preferences This will bring you to your search options page.

2. If you scroll down the Google search options page the 4th setting you will see is "Where results open" tick the box beside this and make sure to click save as shown below.

That's it now Google search result links will always open in a new window. Moreover this setting will be used wherever your logged in to your Google account.

How To Change The Word 'Labels' Below Posts On Blogger

2015-01-25T00:35:00.002+00:00

On a blog I'm currently working on I wanted the labels section at the bottom of the post to be better used for navigation by visitors.The site is dedicated to documentary films so I thought having the word "labels" change to something like "Watch More Documentaries from" (this then followed by a list of labels) would better grab the attention of visitors.In my view with the word labels then the links to each it will not be looked upon as a form of navigation but rather as some kind of administrative section under each post.

OK so changing the word from Label to anything you want on Blogger is quiet easy so here's how it's done.

2015-01-12T17:16:00.001+00:00

Facebook have made many changes to the layout of profiles and pages over the years.When I first joined Facebook there was no newsfeed (I think I can remember a group was started to remove the newsfeed, people were against it), No Like pages just groups and very bare profiles.Now of course Facebook spent endless time and money making sure to have every detail of the design perfect, they don't want to be the next MySpace 200 million users today gone tomorrow.

So if you struggle to keep up with just what the dimensions are for all the images on your Facebook profile or Pages I have found a neat infographic that gives a run down of everything from your profile picture to how your photos thumbnails are sized and the size images you share on your timeline are displayed.The infographic is from Jon Loomer and we give a link to his site below the image.So here it is also show is the sizes images will be shown on Mobile devices like phones and tablets which would be a great help for those that run business pages.
