DNS Hack – How to Make Your Internet Faster with Google Chrome and Google DNS!

Posted on May 6, 2010 by max

I am sure many of you are using Google’s Chrome browser already and even Google DNS for the fastest internet access.

Google DNS probably are much faster over your ISP’s DNS.   To use Google DNS, you simply need to point your DNS server addresses to “8.8.8.8” or “8.8.4.4” in your network settings.  Above is shown for Windows 7 but it should be fairly similar on Ubuntu and Mac.

Oh yeah, you can do it for your wifi devices too if you’d like.

Upon closer look, I found Adobe had one of the Google Android Tablet prototype running Android OS 2.1 (I believe).

Posted on May 3, 2010 by max

Recently, Apple has completely banned flash from its line of products including iPhones/iPads, in an effort to block out their competitors, specifically Adobe.   Of course, they are now under close examinations of feds whether they are playing the game fairly or NOT.

One thing Apple is not doing right is that they are not giving the users a “choice” rather dictating users’ lives whether they should be using flash or not.  A simple solution to all this w

Future of Cable and Satellite TV Will Be Google TV and YouTube!

Posted on May 2, 2010 by max

YouTube is probably the most underestimated video service in the world today.  Even now, YouTube is in its hatching stages, I think it’s going to be another 5 to 10 years before we see even maturing of the giant video company that Google paid billions for couple years back.

Today’s subject is, “what is the future of cable and satellite TV”?

The future, will have no more cable and satellite TV.   I believe that with the introduction of Google TV and maturing of YouTube, people will no longer need to subscribe to any cable/satellite service.  Of course

Twitter for Android is now AVAILABLE! (Yes, before Twitter for iPhone)

This is the OFFICIAL Twitter app for Android from Twitter and the best part of all, IT’S FREE!

I’ve tried them all and probably this is the fastest Twitter app for Android I have tried so far, it beats Seesmic and Twitroid HANDS-DOWN!

Of course, it lacks just one thing, there’s no support for multi-accounts like other 3rd-party Twitter apps but still, I usually use only one Twitter account (@Zedomax) so I don’t see much probl
