Surf the Internet when Web Browsers are Blocked
Jan 24th, 2008 by Cheng Chen

When Firefox is blocked, it is an inconvenience. However, when Internet Explorer and all other major Web Browsers are blocked, it is a nightmare. Sometimes, public terminals and computers are designed to do just that, even with an Internet connection. Luckily, there is still a way to surf the web without using any major web browsers with a rather sly method: using the Microsoft Windows Help Menu. Here’s how to access the Internet without an actual web browser.Jump to URL Help Menu

  • First, open any common application such as notepad or calculator. These simple programs are most likely not blocked.
  • Once opened, press F1 (Default Windows Help Shortcut) or Help -> Help Topics. Here, you will see the basic help menu.
  • Afterwards, right click on the title bar and choose “Jump to URL…” from the drop-down menu.
  • Finally, a Jump to This URL window will come up, allowing you to type in any URL to go to.
The Importance Cleaning Windows XP

Cleaning Windows – an Introduction to the Vital Purpose of Windows XP Maintenance

Three months after buying a new computer, the PC turns from a fast, cutting-edge, new machine to a virus and malware infected zombie machine. Eventually, within a year, such a great computer may have to be fully replaced without scavenging its precious and valuable parts. Unfortunately, this is the fate of most PCs bought and operated by everyday common consumers. The simple usage on a Windows machine will cause this destiny if proper action is not taken. In our electronic age, the maintenance of our machines is key to their and our survival in society. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to cleaning our Microsoft Windows PCs.

It is quite reasonable to conclude that most of us have never fully cleaned nor maintenanced our computers. Such avoidance causes our systems to start out fresh, slowly bog down with garbage, and eventually just crash and die. This problematic issue could actually easily be solved if we simply took the time to follow a step-by-step procedure of computer maintenance. Cleaning both the physical and virtual junk from our PCs is crucial to preserving their performance.

  • Plug-in manager for applications such as web based flash and media players
  • Places Organizer updates the Bookmark
  • Better Phishing alerts
  • Stars to help you determine and organize websites, similar to Googl-like stars
  • The Bookmarks are directly in sync with the Stars
  • Better, tweaked Notification
  • Customize the default action of certain application links
  • Saved Places allows quick views of recent events

And etcetera etc…

However, remember, this is a BETA version. Although it is a bit more stable than the previous ALPHA versions of Firefox 3 Gran Paradiso, it still tends to be cranky. Therefore, don’t be surprised if Gran Paradiso is unstable or randomly crashes/freezes.

Oct 10th, 2007 by Cheng Chen

Mojo PacFor those seeking portable applications, operating systems, or software/programs, Mojo Pac is the king on the hill. Rather than launching an application like the Portable Apps Launcher or U3 launcher bar, MojoPac actually runs a new instance of a compressed Windows XP Operating System. Basically, once MojoPac starts to run in full screen, a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) initiates as a new instance of Windows XP. In this instance, all the data of the operating system lies withing your USB drive. You can virtualize most of the software and applications that you use in your normal Windows OS. In this sense, MojoPac is extremely special because not only does it allow you to run any application with portability, it runs them with its own version of Windows XP. The current cost for the MojoPac Freedom edition is FREE so download it quickly. The Deluxe edition is $30, but really we don’t need its expensive features. Basically, running MojoPac is like running your Windows XP withing another Windows XP. MojoPac can be installed on most memory devices including USB flash drives, iPods, external hard drives, etc.
