15 Useful Google Search Tricks you must to know

Most of us use Google search to search on various topics, products, tips, etc. No doubt it’s one of the best search engines available out there. In order to search something we simply enter the keywords in the search bar and search for stuff but did you ever know that there are several built in functions within Google which makes searching stuff even easier. Some of you’ll know about them. But well if you don’t, then here they are:






Google calculator:
Google search can be used as a calculator. It can calculate anything from the simplest math to the most complex equation. All you need to do is just enter the math in the search box and hit enter. You can use the following functions:
+ : add
- :subtract
* :multiply
/ :divide
^ :to the power of
sqrt : square root of a number







Dictionary Definitions:
You can define any word by entering “define:” following the word. For example define: ignoble
Google will display a list of dictionary definitions for that word.







Search for a specific title:
Suppose you came across a great article which you really liked but unfortunately forgot to bookmark it then you can find it easily with the help of Google provided you know the title of the article. Here’s how you do it:
Let’s say you read an article “Women talk three times as much as men” then you can search for it by typing “intitle: Women talk three times as much as men”







Google Convertor:
Using this feature you can convert units like millimeter into inches, kilometers into miles, liters into ml, etc. You can do so by typing ‘25km in miles’ for converting km in to miles, ‘50litres in ml’ for converting litres into ml, and so on.







Compare currencies:
Google’s search has an inbuilt currency converter. It allows you to perform any currency conversion. All you need to do is just enter the conversion you’d like done into the Google search box and hit “Enter” or click the Google Search button. For instance: “1 USD in INR”







Weather Updates:
You can easily know the weather condition of a specific place. In order to find out, all you need to do is just enter the place name followed by “weather”. For ex: “london weather”







Search for specific file types:
There are various kinds of files available over the net. Searching for a specific file type isn’t really easy. But using this tip you can easily search for a specific file type.
For instance if you want to search for a guide, let’s say a ‘Guide to Building a Successful IT Career’ in ppt format. You can make use of the “filetype:” function. So in order to search for the PPT version of the guide you can enter in search bar ‘Guide to Building a Successful IT Career filetype:ppt’







Search on a particular website:
If you want to search for something from a particular site using Google search then you can do so by using the “site:” feature. Here’s how you do it:
Let’s say you want to search for cloverfield DVD on Amazon, you can do so by typing “cloverfield DVD site:www.amazon.com”







Get the local time anywhere:
Wanna know what time is it in London now? You can ask Google by typing “what time is it London” in the search bar. You can also enter “time (location)” without the quotes.







Remove unwanted search results:
Suppose you wanted to search a Harry potter book review but you ended up in getting reviews of the movie rather than the book. Well in this case you can make Google to exclude the movie results from the search. You can do so by adding “-movie” at the end of the term. For instance: “Harry potter Chamber of secrets -movie” This will give search results excluding the movie- The chamber of secrets.







Search for URLs:
You can even search for URLs in Google search.For instance: “Women_talk_three_times_as_much_as_men”. You can also use “.” “-” instead of “_“. The search will bring up results with the URLs containing the above words entered.







Track flight status:
You can also track a particular flight status. All you need to do is just enter the airline and flight number into the search box and hit enter. You’ll get the arrival and departure time of the flight right inside Google’s search results.







Search Google groups by the subject line:
You need to be in the google groups search page before attempting this query; otherwise it might not work correctly. Using the “insubject:” function you can search google groups by the subject line. For instance “insubject:windows xp fast shutdown”







Find related sites:
Suppose you find an interesting website and you would like to find some other alternative to this site then you can do so by using “related:” function. For instance if you want to search an alternative for google.com you can do so by entering “related:www.google.com”







Find links to a specific URL:
You can find the webpages which have a link to a specific URL using the “link:” function. This is really great as it will help you if you own a website, you can easily find out the pages linking to a page in your site. To use it, you need to enter the whole URL after “link:”
For instance “link:http://www.cnn.com”
Well that’s it for now, hope you liked them. If you know more feel free to mention them here.







Whois Lookup service:
You can also search for information on a particular domain name. Just type in “whois domain.com” and hit enter. You’ll get to see the creation and expiry dates of the domain.







Suggests words, phrases and their results:
This is really helpful if you aren’t able to spell a particular word or you would like to know the results a particular word would contain when searched.

SMARTBRO Sim FBT/Downloading Trick RebBirth

-Sawa ka na ba sa paggamit ng mga tunneling apps ng PC mo para lang makapag-internet?
-Limitado ba ang pag-dodownload mo dahil sa bandwidth limit ng Cproxy?
-Heavy user ka rin ba lalo na sa pagdodownload ng mga 1GB files katulad ko?
-Gusto mo bang manood ng videos sa you...tube at kung anu-ano pang you__.com na site ng tuloy-tuloy at hindi stop dance?
-At eto pinakamatindi: Gusto mo ba ulit magamit ang smartbro sim mo sa pag-FBT at pag-UDT (unlimited downloading tricks)?
Kung lahat ng yan gusto mo eh di basahin mo ang post na to.


Working Sites and applications:
*Mozilla firefox, Internet Explorer & Google Chrome web browsers are working
*Download accelerator can work especially Internet download manager
*Pwede ring magdownload sa mga file hosting sites using this trick! Pero syempre dapat may premium link generator kayo kung RS, HF, o MU ang link ng file na i-dodownload niyo
Not-Working Sites and applications:
*Opera browser won't work kahit palitan ang settings
*All torrent applications, such as frostwire, bitorrent at kung anu-ano pang torrent
*as a substitute for parent proxy of all tunneling apps.
*Lahat ng chat applications tulad ng YM, camfrog at kung anu-ano pa
*Ang pag-uupdate ng anti virus thru this trick eh di rin gumagana (Paki-try na lang sa iba ESET kasi AV namin eh)
*pag post, paglog-in at pag-chat gamit ang mga social networking sites ay di rin gumagana especially facebook (kaya dapat pag naglogin ka sa FB di mo na-icclick yung logout button para di hassle. But don't worry, may trick tayo jan )
Eto ang mga proxy na kelangan nating gamitin sa pandaraya, este pag-iinternet, Working pa rin as of 11-20-10

203.84.191.216 port 80
121.1.3.199 port 80
121.1.3.250 port 80
121.1.3.208 port 80
Here's how to set-up the proxy and port for some applications

 
For Firefox:
on your firefox browser  go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Click network>Settings> select Manual proxy configuration then type the proxy and port on the HTTP Proxy box. Then check use this proxy server for all protocols. Now it should look like this:

Tapos subukan mo munang magbrowse sa google.com

For Internet Explorer and Google Chrome:
 Go to Tools>Internet options>Select connections tab tapos dun s dial up and Virtual Private network settings may makikita kayong Smartbro dun sa box kung nakaconnect kayo sa internet. Double click niyo lang yun then check niyo yung "Use a proxy server for this connection" under Proxy Server. Tapos lagay niyo na yung proxy sa address at port. Now it should look like this:
Tapos subukan mo ulit magbrowse sa mga website kung makakaconnect ka

For Internet Download Manager:
 On your IDM Go to Downloads>Options>Select the "Proxy" tab Tapos check mo yung HTTP Proxy. Oo yun lang i-ccheck mo tapos lagay mo na yung proxy at port para sa tricks naten. Ganito yung dapat na mangyari sa IDM options mo:


Proofs na nakakanood ako ng videos sa youtube na tuloy-tuloy  at nakakapagdownload pa using IDM @ nearly 1mbps speed

How to login, post and comment on Facebook and other social networking sites using this trick

 First of all kelangan mo ng extra load for this to work, an extra 10 pesos para makalogin. Hindi ka kasi makakapaglogin sa mga social networking sites thru this trick. I don't know why.

Procedure on how to login:
1. Connect thru facebook.com at m.facebook.com na hindi gumagamit ng trick. Mag login kayo pareho dun
2. Kapag nakapaglogin ka na siguraduhin mong naka-enable yung cookies ng browser na gamit mo, kung naka disable kasi yun hindi mareremember ng web browser yung login details mo. Every time na i-cclose mo yung web browser mo ma-aauto log-out ka sa FB.
3. Ngayon restart mo na yung gamit mong web browser w/o logging out sa facebook. Sariling PC niyo dapat gamit niyo ah hindi yung sa iba. Then go to facebook.com and see kung nakalogin ka pa rin:) Tapos i-enable mo na yung proxy trick ng web browser mo

Ngayon paano ko makakapag comment, like at makapagpost? The answer is use the mobile and web version of facebook together
*Kung gusto mo i-like at magcomment sa picture ng iba o sayo, gamit ang web version puntahan mo yung pics na i-cocomment mo. Tapos pag andun ka na refresh mo muna yung page tapos palitan mo yung www. ng m. sa web address
Ex:
www.facebook.com/photo.php?xxxxxxxx
m.facebook.com/photo.php?xxxxxxxx
*Remember: lagi nating papalitan yung www. ng m. kapag magpopost at maglilike para gumana yung trick.

Pwede rin namang huwag ng gamitin ang web version ng FB pero para hindi kayo malito dahil iba yung layout ng web sa mobile version kaya ganito yung tricks na gagawin natin.

Tips para mas bumilis ang pagbobrowse at pagdodownload

 So far wala pa naman akong nakikitang tricks na ganito dito kaya i-popost ko na lang to dito 

Procedure:
1.Test your connection speed thru 2wire.net. Why 2wire and not speedtest.net? Para sakin kasi mas reliable ang pagtetest sa 2wire kesa sa speedtest
Disconnect your prepaid kit thru its dashboard

2. Click settings>Network settings> Then under band settings
may makikita kang 3 pagpipilian:
     W850M
     W2100M
     W850M+W2100M (don't select this it won't work)

3.Piliin mo lang yung band setting na di naka-shade.
     Ex. When you're on w850m, change it to 2100M

4. now connect your prepaid kit again then test whether your connection speed increases or not.

NOTE: Ganito lang po yung palagi nating gawin kung sa tingin niyo eh parang bumabagal yung speed ng internet connection Kung parehas talagang mabagal yung connection try to change the proxy you're using. Kung mabagal pa rin talaga nasa BULOK na service na talaga ng Smartbro yan. Alam niyo naman na kahit kelan di natin maaabot yung 2mbps na pinangako nila

Philippines Rank 40 in Connection Speeds

The latest report from Royal Pingdom on the real-world connection speeds throw some interesting stats about the net speed across the world.

The report examines the real-world connection speeds for people in the top 50 countries on the Internet, i.e. the countries with the most Internet users. This list of countries ranges from China at number 1 with 420 million Internet users, and Denmark at number 50 with 4.75 million Internet users.

The data for the report was provided by Akamai, who is the world’s largest CDN provider. As the report points out, this data is very important for web publishers as they can get an idea of what kind of Internet connection speeds their customers are likely to have in different countries.

The below image details the average connection speeds of the top 50 countries on the web.

As you can see from the image above, South Korea leads the pack with a staggering average connection speed of 16.63Mbps, which is way ahead of the second placed Hong Kong.

• The top 3 countries in the list are all from Asia!
• 7 out of top 10 countries in the list are from Europe.
• No American country in top 10.
• Canada beats the United States, barely, with 4.7 Mbit/s versus 4.6 Mbit/s.
• The connection speeds of China and India are well below the worldwide average.

The average connection speed for Internet users worldwide, not just among these 50 countries, but all countries, is an average of 1.8 Mbit/s. As an average, this is actually pretty good, but as you’ve seen, there are plenty of extremes in either direction.

It’s quite encouraging that as many as 22% of the connections are 5 Mbps or faster, and even more that more than half of all connections are 2Mbps or faster. I will leave you with a chart which shows how the connection speeds of each country are distributed.

Do let us know how does your own connection measure up.

How Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Work

Using a Free VPN is the best idea if your answer is ‘Yes’ for any of the question below.

• Do you have problems in opening certain websites like LinkedIn and Twitter at work?
• Has your school blocked social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace?
• Do you require to work anonymously online?

A VPN or virtual private network is a network that is layered on top of a basic computer network and uses a public telecommunications infrastructure like the internet. Primarily, it uses virtual connection routed through the internet from a company's private network to the remote site or employee. VPN is provided to individual users and remote offices for them to have a secure access to their organization's network. Furthermore, companies and organizations use VPN to send voice, video and data in a private manner. One nature of VPN is when a data travels over the VPN, generally it is not visible, rather it is wrapped up in the network traffic. The traffic with the VPN appears to be just another traffic stream.

In this era of fast moving technological innovations and development, one area that has lag and yet unable to match feet with the pace is online security and anonymity. Though we have opportunity to go online while on the move, we don't have surety just how secure we are. An old proverb fits well here, Prevention is better than cure. You should take preventive measures before it's too late. In this article our focus would be VPN and online security and anonymity. While I was surfing the internet, I came across many interesting websites that have been offering remote VPN accounts, they are for your sure security and anonymity online with a price tag equals that of an anti-virus license. Let me explain how it works and what is needed on your part to get a VPN.

The VPN providers have setup remote servers at various locations worldwide in various data centers. They may be at diversified locations like USA, UK, Canada, Germany etc. On the server side generally if Windows they may be using built-in RRAS (Remote routing Access) that is configured to route (or NAT) your connection to the other side (Public Address on Internet) while you get a private address from a predefined pool in there. There could principally three flavors, namely Shared IP, Dynamically Shared IP and Dedicated IP. A shared IP or a static shared IP means every time you connect (dial their server) you get similar IP address. Dynamic shared IP means every time you connect you get a different IP (from a pool of Public IP addresses, may be /24 or /25 or other). Whereas a dedicated IP would mean you will get a similar IP every time you connect but that is not shared with anyone else. In short static shared IP address is more like an open-proxy as it begin used by more than one person at a time, dynamic shared IP is not much like proxy, its concept could be understood by thinking its IP allocation as that in ADSL. Dedicated IP, as name suggests, gives you a unique IP that is solely yours and there is no point in any kind of trouble like Black listed IP, UCE listings. You should first check IP status before going to get a dedicated IP.

In order to connect to a VPN server, VPN providers provide dialers (that are actually made using a utility called, CMAK, found in windows server), generally two protocols are provided PPTP and L2TP, as your network might support either of the two. Once you are connected, all your internet bound traffic goes to the VPN provider server and from there it's routed to internet. Incoming traffic follows the similar procedure, thus your identity is completely hidden from rest of internet. 

Wherever you browse its VPN provider server IP that would be visible and your IP would be hidden. Most impotently all your data that travels between your PC/MAC and secure VPN connection provider goes encrypted thus leaving no room for data loggers and hackers to intercept your traffic (passwords and private information) in a readable form.

There are unlimited benefits for such a service. Some are bypassing local internet filters, bypassing blocks on particular websites, unblocking VOIP where it's blocked; for example UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia and other ME countries. VPN is also considered as work around for streaming country-specific media e.g. if a media is limited to be accessed from USA, and you get a USA VPN you could watch the media as if you were in the USA. Same goes all countries.

Cantenna as 3G Modem Signal Booster

Malamang katulad ko marami din sa inyo ang namomroblema bout sa 3g signal dito sa ating bansa kaya ang goal ng project na ito eh imaximize yung available 3g signal especially dun sa mga remote areas. BTW taga Pampanga po ako at problema din dito samin yang 3g signal na yan. Tignan niyo na lang yung screenshot ko nung wala pang antenna yung modem ko.



Hirap kasing makapasok yung 3g signal sa loob ng bahay kaya nga nagresearch ako ng solusyon.
CANTENNA! familiar na siguro kayo dito kasi ginagamit itong signal booster ng WiFi devices kaya naisip if applicable ba sya sa 3g modem and EUREKA! after some researches napagalaman ko na pwede pala siyang gamitin din sa pagboost ng 3g signal. Let's start building the project na.

Ingredients:
Lata - kahit anong lata pwede basta perfectly round and smooth siya mga size ng malaking del monte pineapple juice can)
Coaxial cable - ito yung gamit sa antenna ng TV kayo na bahala kung gano kahaba basta abot hanggang bubong niyo
Steel pole - mas mataas mas maganda

Ito lang yung major na requirements para sa Cantenna sasabihin ko na lang sa inyo yung mga dinagdag ko mamaya. OK. 

First of all paano ba naten icoconect yung coaxial cable sa usb modem naten? Salamat na lang sa mga mababait nating masters dito sa SB at sa tutz nila kung paano maglalagay ng wire sa usb modem naten. Bisitahin niyo na lang sila

For modem with crc9 connector: http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=126490 
For modems w/o crc9 connector: http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=157497
For zte usb modems: http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=200161 

Note: yung gitnang wire lang yung gagamitin naten wag niyo na pansinin yung nakapalibot na wire

Ganito yung magiging resulta niya

Ngayon gawin na naten yung mismong Cantenna...

Note: importante tong computation kasi dito nagiging effective yung Cantenna kaya hindi pwedeng i-skip to..
Madali lang naman siya may online calculator naman punta kayo sa website na to para sa computations ng antenna may guide picture din siya para hindi kayo malito
http://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/cantenna.php

Gumawa din ako ng SS para mas maexplain ko sa inyo ng maayos


Input niyo lang yung diameter ng lata dun sa first box at yung frequency ng 3g 2100mHz dun sa fifth box tapos yung ibang values dun sa picture gamit na lang kayo ng calculator madali lang naman siya basic algebra lang po yan 

Important values:
a.) Length nung wire na nakausli dun sa loob ng lata
b.) Distance nung wire mula sa back portion ng lata

Pag ok na yung values mo pwede na tayong magbutas sa lata. Pwede kahit pako lang ang gamitin basta dapat hindi masyadong mayuyupi yung lata.

Unang butasin yung pagpapasukan na wire as seen on the SS make sure na tamang tama yung distance nung butas mula dun sa base ng lata



Next yung dalawang butas naman dun natin ima-mount yung screws para mailagay natin yung Cantenna sa pole mismo.
Gumamit lang ako ng 2 small nuts and bolts tsaka yung pangpadlock sa pinto as seen on the picture..


Bale ganito yung resulta niya..


Pagkatapos ilalagay na natin yung lata sa pole mismo, paganahin niyo na lang po yung creativity at pagiging maparaan niyo wala naman specific na technique sa paglalagay ng antenna sa pole, pwedeng niyong itali, idikit kahit welding pwede rin basta hindi masisira yung form ng lata.

Ganito yung ginawa ko..


Next ilalagay na natin yung wire sa loob ng lata make sure na yung nakausli lang na wire sa loob ang babalatan natin. Dapat tama rin yung haba ng wire as shown dun sa computations naten kanina..



Dapat perfectly vertical din yung nakausling wire sa loob para effective.


Next idikit yung wire sa pole para hindi nagagalaw yung nakausling wire sa loob ng lata..


AND WE'RE DONE!!!

Last thing is yung pagposition ng antenna sa bubungan natin. 
NOTE: INGAT LANG PO SA PAGAKYAT SA BUBONG AT MAGPATULONG KAYO SA MGA NAKATATANDA. 
Dapat may alalay ka rin na nakaharap sa computer at nagsasabi kung magangda na yung signal. 
Kung alam niyo yung location ng cellsite ng ISP niyo dun mo itutok yung cantenna. Kung hindi naman take your time para iadjust yung position ng Cantenna.



Note: Prevent niyo lang po yung ganitong scenario kasi mawawalan ng silbi yung antenna.
Same principles lang siya ang mahalaga yung proper placing ng usb modem sa loob ng lata (yung computations na ginawa naten kanina)
If ever na napapalibutan kayo ng matataas na gusali iadjust niyo na lang yung cantenna vertically at rotationally


And at last yung resulta ng pinaghirapan naten mula sa walang kabuhay-buhay na 3g nagboost yung signal ko sa ganito. Lumakas na yung reception gumanda pa yung quality ng signal also known as your RSSI as seen dun sa diagnostics ng dashboard.


Benefits:
a.) Mas stable yung connection ko kahit peak hours as seen dun sa dinodownload ko na torrent.
b.) Hindi na nagsisignal drop yung modem ko as a result of several interferance sa atmosphere naten.
c.) Sobrang satisfied na rin ako sa browsing hindi tulad date na facebook lang aabutin pa ng 5 mins para lang magload yung homepage.

Alternatives:
Pwede rin yung ganitong setup kung ayaw niyong buksan yung modem niyo.



Ganito siya nun kung sakali mang usb modem yung nakalagay.

Beta pa lang tong project na to wait niyo na lang yung mga modifications at updates ko..
