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

By Administrator
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.

Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

Windows 8 integrates Adobe Flash

Internet Explorer 10 within the Windows 8 operating system will include an integrated version of Adobe Flash, while the Metro-based browser will feature support for the use of Flash on a limited number of Web sites.

When it comes to the Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft's browser will be available in two versions:

  • a traditional desktop browser with full support for plugins and extensions,
  • as well as a new Metro-based browser for which plugins will not be necessary.

In addition, the browser will feature an integrated version of Adobe Flash, and because it is integrated, it will not be treated as a plugin. However, you should take into account the fact that Microsoft will limit the use of Flash in the Metro-based browser to those Web sites that are on the list of approved sites.

The list implies a combination of domains:

  • video sites such as Hulu, YouTube, and Vimeo,
  • sites such as CNN, BBC, and Wired,
  • as well as a large number of entertainment and gaming sites such as Facebook and Zynga.

Flash-based interactive content on these sites will work within the Metro-based browser. Flash content on other sites will require the use of a desktop browser.

Flash is still a very productive tool for creating rich, interactive Web content, and Adobe wants to keep it usable, at least until the moment when development tools enable a full transition to HTML5.

If the company decides on this transition earlier, then Flash must be usable on Windows 8. Of course, Flash is not the only plugin technology used to provide streaming video and rich interactive content. Microsoft's Silverlight is also used for the same thing, so the question arises, will Microsoft create an integrated version of Silverlight like they did with Flash?

For now, the answer to that question is not known, but it can be concluded - one of the websites that are on the list of Flash-approved sites is Netflix, and this is very interesting since Netflix does not actually use Flash for streaming media content, but uses Silverlight.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

By Administrator
I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
