10 tricks to surf faster

The time that needed a minute to load a page is far from reality. The broadband connections have replaced the modem and browsing speed has increased dramatically. We may not have even the information highway but a paved road, at least, yes.

However, this advantage can ruin because of the wide variety of reasons, from websites to heavy and poorly timed bit applications optimized for your connection, to failures in auxiliary services such as DNS.

Do you also your connection is slower than usual? Do not despair, man. Whatever your problem, we give you ten tips for faster browsing. Fixed that one will work.
0. First things first: measure the speed of your connection

The wind blows more or less strong, the connection seems more or less rapid ... It all starts with a sensation. However, nothing beats a reliable measurement to know for sure what's wrong with your connection. Use a speedometer to know how fast Internet data low.

We recommend BASP, JDast or one of many tests speed Internet connection available, as Velocimetro.org, TestdeVelocidad or test the association of Internet users.

JDast

If the speed is lower than expected, there may be several causes: the failure of your central communications operator, problems with your router, and so on. Open an issue with your carrier is only part of the solution. Here we will discuss what is in your hand.
1. Change your DNS for a faster (OpenDNS, Google DNS ...)

When you write the address of a web page, the browser first contacts the DNS server for the IP address corresponding to the machine serving the pages. If for some reason the DNS servers fail or were subjected to heavy loads, the connection would suffer immediately.

DNS-Jumper

To avoid this problem, change the DNS servers by hand or using tools such as DNS or DNS Jumper Benchmark, which allow you to find and activate the DNS faster for your line. How about some easy to remember DNS? The Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
2. Compresses the pages with Opera Turbo or fasTun

Today, a website can weigh up to one megabyte. If your connection is not able to digest this volume of data, arm yourself with patience ... or use a web compressor. The Opera browser includes one since version 10. Opera is called Turbo.

Opera Turbo

Turbo Opera loads pages through its servers, having compressed the images and other heavy elements. The result is a much faster loading of pages, at the expense of visual quality and sometimes functionality.

And if you use another browser? Then try fasTun, a service that not only compresses images and HTML, but also provides partial anonymity by hiding your IP number.
3. Proxify clean pages with your browser or modify them

Compression is a powerful option, but it affects the quality of the pages. If you load a page without certain items, such as advertising or scripts, there are many anonymous proxies which will be of great utility. The most interesting is Proxify, which ensures speed and privacy. Another similar is The Cloak.

Profixy

You can get something similar disabling the loading of images, animations and scripts in your browser settings, or through extensions such as NoScript, AdBlock Plus or FlashBlock.
4. Become going through a mobile phone

Many sites have mobile versions that take less time to load without sacrificing the core functionality. To "trick" into thinking that your computer is a mobile, use the User-Agent Switcher extension (also for Chrome). Choose iPhone or other options to change their identity.

User-Agent Switcher

Another way to navigate style is to use Google Mobile Transcoder or MOWSE. Both services tailored websites to be loaded on mobile first-generation (to be clear, yet those who sail WAP). The result is ... austere.

Salma Hayek's husband is the father of the son of Linda Evangelista

Everything indicates that Valentina Paloma Pinault, daughter of Salma Hayek three years, has a third half-brother.

According to court papers filed in New York recently by supermodel Linda Evangelista, his son Augustin James, four years would be Hayek's husband, son, François-Henri Pinault. Hayek and Pinault were married in 2009 but maintained a relationship since 2006, during which they separated for a time during which Evangelista became pregnant.

Now Evangelista has asked the court that Pinault, 49, is made financially responsible for both the child procreated.

Has not been determined how much is the amount that Pinault would be required to pay monthly child support for the Evangelist.

"It seems only necessary that the examining magistrate to review the documentation submitted by the parent in order to determine the amount you should pay for the maintenance of small, which would continue until the child turns 21 Evangelista years" , a source told PEOPLE. "[Pinault] has requested the opportunity to testify by telephone," the source added.

Meanwhile, another source told PEOPLE: "This is not a case like Schwarzenegger. They were not married. There was no infidelity by either.

The Pinault family fortune is valued at about 16 to 18 billion dollars.Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Pinault's salary in 2010 amounted to $ 5.4 million.

In New York, where papers were presented before the court, the law requires the father to pay 17 percent of his salary as child maintenance. In this case the sum would amount to about $ 920,000 a year.

Representatives of Salma Hayek and Linda Evangelista did not answer calls from PEOPLE to give a declaration.

World of Warcraft "free" (F2P)

Ladies and gentlemen, we can say without doubt that it wasinevitable. More and more online games that take a free profile, using microtransactions to finance it. We recently mentioned thatTeam Fortress 2 took the path of F2P, but now would be the turn of the most popular MMORPG on the Web, World of Warcraft. Still, we want to draw attention to the quotes in the word free, as there are some details to consider. The last measurement made during the March to World of Warcraftstood with a base of 11.4 million players. That number has been higher in the past, but still remains the most popular online game inthe world. World of Warcraft was originally released in November2004 but came into the EU in February next year. World of Warcrafthas had three expansions, and was announced fourth, with name,release date and plot to be determined. With this new wave of online games that adopt a business model based on microtransactions, it has been speculating in recent months after nearly seven years in operation, would be a good time for World of Warcraft is free again, with in order to dramatically expand its number of users.

According to a recent announcement, it appears that day hasarrived, but the truth is you have to take the news with a smallclamp. World of Warcraft will have a F2P mode, albeit with certainlimitations. First, players may reach a maximum free level 20characters for all who believe. Then, they will have the opportunity to join a guild, and can carry ten gold coins as a stopper. On the other hand, no time limits, and a player can make all the charactersyou want. The sense of the word "free" this far and anyone whowishes to go beyond these restrictions, you must buy the game.

This news comes before the changes made by other games such as Team Fortress 2. According to some reports that have circulated the web, play Valve tripled its user base in less than 48hours, something spectacular where you look. The more users, the more likely to tempt them to invest their money in the game. If themove by Blizzard to bring World of Warcraft to a F2P model seemsa bit cold in comparison, because the truth indicates no need so much. With more than eleven million customers in its ranks faithfullypaying their monthly fee, the idea of ​​fighting for selling arms and equipment in the game does not seem so attractive, but any number may drop over time.

SleepWell: Double the battery life of your mobile

One of the basic conditions that must have a modern mobile phone is to have WiFi connectivity. This technical feature can access a web connection, with the benefit that means saving our spending (if limited) for Internet downloads. Music, movies, series, videos from YouTube, Tweets, updating our profile on Facebook and thousands of applications that we serve. However, all good things it can offer, does not leave out a serious problem: the length of our battery is reduced significantly. SleepWell is a piece of software that will increase the battery life on your phone twice (yes, you read right) without leave to enjoy your favorite applications. If you use WiFi on your phone, this article is what you were expecting.


Although the technicians and engineers set about the task of developing new technologies, make their best efforts on energy management to a near-optimal limit on mobile devices, WiFi connectivity remains a major energy guzzlers. Mobile devices are designed to efficiently act as an access point "only" within a network. However, when the access points increases (other devices requesting data), the system is responsible for organizing and directing data to the different teams can make some spend long periods of time "awake" waiting for their chance to send orreceive data packets. As the density of AP (Access Point) in the neighborhood increases, increases the waiting time, resulting in a proportional decrease in battery life. SleepWell is a system that achieves energy efficiency and avoid permanent dependence on the network. The operating principle of the system is simple to understand and is based on off ("put to sleep") during specific time windows to the devices. That is, organize the network so that all WiFi devices to connect to it are not on a permanent waiting "their turn", but are activated during small time intervals and exchange data when necessary.

'Jersey Shore' fake Fight

I think most of the reality shows are fake and this one might be the biggest one, more likely in my opinnion I think this show is mostly fake and acting just to make money, I want in :)

Can dogs read our mind?

Can dogs read our minds? How do I learn to order food or decide to misbehave when they do not look? According to Monique Udell and her team at the University of Florida (USA), the way dogs respond to the level of attention paid people tells us something about the way they think and learn about human behavior.

Recent research has identified a wide range of social behaviors similar to humans in the domestic dog, including its ability to respond to body language of people around him, to verbal commands, and states of attention. But how? Do you see your behavior in different circumstances and then respond accordingly? Or learn from experience, responding to what happens around them?

To find out, Udell and her colleagues launched two experiments to compare how they act domestic dogs, sheepdogs and wolves giving them the opportunity to order food, whether a person or a person to alert the animal can not see. So for the first time found that wolves are able to claim humans approaching food alert. This shows that both kinds - domestic and non domestic - have the ability to behave according to the state of attention of a human being. In addition, both wolves and dogs were able to quickly improve performance with practice.

Also reached the conclusion that dogs living in a home environment are more sensitive to predictable stimuli in humans attentive than pastoralists. Dog behavior, they conclude, "is due to the willingness of animals to accept humans as social peers, combined with an ability to track the movements and actions of individuals to receive confirmation.

A first look at iOS 5 for the iPad

After testing the device iOS 5 star, ie the iPhone 4. now comes the turn to do the same with his older brother, ie, the iPad.

In our case, we decide to try iOS 5 on a first-generation iPad by simple curiosity to see how far Apple was keeping a good performance in the team.

The surprise is capitalized because the device has not been damaged in almost any way. Still retaining some lag in some areas compared to the new model, but is perfectly usable and except for some detail, the experience is more than satisfactory.

If anything has surprised me in general terms is a post I published a few days ago. It commented that iOS 5 could be the first system to distinguish between iPhone and iPad to integrate some different characteristics depending on the device.

In this analysis we mentioned that the widgets, if integrated into the new system would make much more sense in the iPad (for space and use) than the iPhone.

Well damn if we were wrong, and that things would be fulfilled but surprisingly the opposite.

And now that we have Widgets on the iPhone, it is true that they are only two and also not having much use (so far), goes and removes these Widgets Apple iPad. And is that the notification center of iOS 5 for the iPad not have the ability to display the time and the stock market, as do small household devices.

It is rather strange as the solution and only makes me think again, again, in this issue about the differences between the two systems: Apple is planning a center of "widgets"fuller iPad?

In all other important points about the notifications and new sections are maintained and function identically. It is also interesting to see that Apple has kept the proportions of the iPhone and has not expanded the panels and in other system options.

Thus, the notification center and the home screen that shows them maintain a similar size to the iPhone (slightly larger, but not expanded to fill the size of IPAD).

I also really liked the new iPod feature, a deep facelift brings a new design radically different and very attractive, but still have to polish the odd control, as the songs progress, it is quite difficult to control.
