Internet Explorer-haters often say that the only good use for Internet Explorer is downloading Firefox or Chrome. But if you really don’t like IE, you can use Windows’ built-in FTP support to download and install Firefox without ever opening IE. Sure, you could just open Internet Explorer and download Firefox from Mozilla’s website, but where’s the geeky fun in that? This trick is about Firefox because Mozilla provides an FTP server, while Google doesn’t seem to. Downloading Firefox without using Internet Explorer may also come in handy if Internet Explorer is crashing and isn’t working properly on your system. Graphical Method with Windows Explorer To access Mozilla’s FTP server in Windows Explorer, type ftp://ftp.mozilla.org into Windows Explorer’s address bar and press Enter. Navigate to the following folder: pub/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/ You can also just enter the following address in Windows Explorer to go directly to...

Web browsers include predefined lists of search engines, but you can easily add your own favorites. Even search engines that don’t offer search plugins can be added with a few tricks, whether you’re using Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox has an easy-to-use extension that can add any search box on the web, while Chrome has some built-in tools. Internet Explorer users have it the hardest, and need to rely on a third-party web form. Mozilla Firefox Here’s how it’s supposed to work on Firefox: You visit a search engine, and use the search box’s menu to add the search engine. However, this only works if the website exposes a search provider. Some search engines don’t. The easiest way to add a custom search engine is with the Add to Search Bar add-on . After installing the add-on and restarting Firefox, you can right-click inside a search form on any page and select Add to Search Bar. Your custom search engine will appear i...

You know how it is – you’re desperate to get online in an unfamiliar place but with only secured WiFi hotspots around you. You don’t have their passwords, so what can you do? Foursquare’s tips are often a good way of finding the password for a nearby hotspot, but it’s not very practical to browse through every nearby location until you find one. 4sqwifi is an iPhone app that makes the process much easier. Open the app and it will display a list of nearby Foursquare locations, filtered to only include those that have a WiFi password in their tips. In theory, it’s that simple – open the app, find a nearby venue’s password, and jump online.   There are a few factors that hold the app back from being perfect, but that’s more to do with the data source than anything else. Passwords can change, so the information shared by Foursquare users may not be up to date. However, it’s better to have at least a chance of getting online than none at all, right? Also...

Viruses and identity theft are not new issues, but recently, individuals and companies are at a much greater risk as a result of the unanticipated increase in internet and technology use. Follow these tips to protect yourself from such an attack so that you won’t be the next victim. For Example , you receive an email promising a great joke if you open the attachment. You're not sure who sent it but you feel like a laugh and open it anyway. Big mistake. Attackers can break into your computer by sending you an email attachment with malware (malicious software) or downloading malware on to your computer when you open a link on a webpage.

Anyone who uses the internet needs to be aware of basic computer security: 1. Don't click the link If you don't know who sent the email, or if it's not a trusted websit...

What exactly is Cloud computing? At its most basic level, cloud computing is a model for remote computer access. The idea is simple: You use your computer and an Internet connection to make contact with a remote server. This server, which is really just a computer, runs applications using its hardware. You're able to influence the application by executing commands through a Web browser or other user interface. But the remote server is doing all the heavy lifting. Why would you want to use a cloud computing system? One reason is that it lets you access applications your own computer might not be able to execute. Your computer only has to run a Web browser or simple user interface. In most cloud computing applications, this client-side program places minimal demands on your machine's resources. That means you can take advantage of a variety of programs and services without having to continually invest in the fastest computers. Since the cloud computing service is handling all...
