Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Control your computer by voice

Control your computer by voice

If you are tired of using the keyboard and mouse, let the microphone take over. Yes, you can use a microphone to control your computer. All you have to do is say one of the previously defined voice commands, and your computer will do what you told it to do.

How is this possible?

This was taken care of by a program called Responding Heads.

This powerful software tool will connect your voice and a computer operation so that when you say a command, the program will perform the operation you connected for that voice command.

Example: Say the word "Play music" and choose to launch the application, for example: "Aimp3", and save it. Now when you say "Play Music", the program will launch the "Aimp3" application.

Something similar exists on Vista and Win7 operating systems, but for XP this program will come in handy. Maybe even for Win7 and Vista users, because here you can define voice commands yourself, while with the system's built-in tool you can't.

After the usual installation, run the program and start inserting commands.

Note: After installation, you will not see the icon on the desktop, so you must find it in the file where you installed the program (usually: C:\Program Files\AdSa)

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers.

For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.
