As I said in my previous post, Google has introduced its own Free Public DNS services to the general public. If you used OpenDNS.org service before (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220), you should be familiar with what Google is going to offer.
Anyway, I still suggest you change your DNS servers from your ISP’s default ones to Google, or OpenDNS in your router instead of single computers at your home.
Here is a simple how-to for you to utilize Google’s public DNS servers in your router (I am using my ISP AT&T’s Netopia Gateway as the illustrators).

Recently I discovered a good web service to make the screen capture very easy. Using this tool, you can easily to record what you are doing on your computer, like running applications, browsing websites, etc. Then you can upload your screenshot videos to YouTube, or save as .mov file on your machine locally. This makes sharing the screen shots (or even video training) to your friend like a snap-it.

Since only NBC has the exclusive authorization to broadcast all Olympics 2008 games in America, and it only shows American team games at evening prime times. It is very hard to watch some interesting games at real time if they do not have American team participation and not take part in American prime time. I thought I could do it from the internet like before. But this time unfortunately the normal way of watching stream video online does not work since all official Olympics partner websites only open to China region users. That means these video sites block all overseas IP addresses from watching games live.

I tried to write up a 3-step How-Tos for getting VOIP through broadband 3 years ago, but never got a chance to finish them. Today, one of my friends asked my help on setting up his home networking over Comcast cable broadband. Then I decided to use some time now to point out one or two important things in the should-be-published-early first step – "how to set up a home network over your broadband without paying extra to your provider".
Usually the broadband providers only provide one computer network service with the regular price and will charge extra for residences to get more than one computers online. But if you already have purchased a router, you should be fine to get the home networking by your own. Just remember some extra steps you need to pay attentions to.

Have you recently used Google Maps? Maybe you already noticed its new feature from the maps, yes, it is called Street View. What can it do? well, when you browser the maps (of course, on the website of http://maps.google.com) and click the Street View button on the map. You will see a little man icon on the map, and some street view photos will appear when you drag “you” (the little man) on some blue line highlighted roads. These photos just like what you can see when you walk or drive on the road of the Google maps.

Smart consumers in USA will go to price-comparison websites (Such as expedia.com, sidestep.com, travlocity.com etc. ) to find good deals on airline ticket, hotel price before their trips. Sometime, we can find good International travel deals on these websites as well. But as for the airline ticket pricing information for Chinese domestic travel, I would like to use some Chinese websites. One of them I like most is Qunar.com whose name means "Where are you going?" in Chinese. It is a search engine which can search prices from most travel (airline tickets, hotel) service providers’ websites based on your search query, and then filter, sort for you. Then you can purchase such services by clicking the links in the search result (sounds more like sidestep.com).
Based on my recent uses, the prices on the search result is the best price I can find on the Internet. So I recommend this web site to you if you are going to travel in China cities next time.

On the web, there are a lot of new ideas coming up everyday. Yesterday, I heard about that there is a web to pay people for their interviews. According to Clark Said, now a website allows you to name your interview price. Since this website believes that it is cheaper for employers to pay targeted candidates to interview than to wade through a ton of unqualified applicants.
Here’s an odd one for the job seekers among you. There’s a new website that pays you to go on interviews. So far only technology-geared companies are making use of NotchUp.com, which is in beta. Here’s the scoop: It’s very expensive for companies to use classifieds and online job sites to find new employees. NotchUp.com, however, is free to employers. They find it’s cheaper to pay targeted candidates for their interview time than to go the traditional advertising route and have to sort through a ton of unqualified applicants. Will NotchUp.com be around a year from now? Who knows! But if you’re seeking a new position, pursuing this opportunity can’t hurt you. …..
