Review of: Hulu.com

Hulu.com is a great way to watch free movies and tv shows online. Hulu.com has clips of movies and tv shows too. During most of selections on Hulu.com there are very small commercials (15 or 30 secs) a few times. There are around 6 in a 45 minute tv show that is normally 1-hour on tv and around 4 small commercials during a 22 minute tv show, normally a 30 minute tv show without commercials. I have watched a couple if things on Hulu and liked it a lot. I am going to watch the First Season of Bones on it and the commercials are not a problem at all. Most of the videos you can view in 480p which is standard tv quality (480x640 pixels). This looks fine in the full screen setting. Give Hulu.com a look and tell me what you think about it.

Open Office

Microsoft Office is the most common piece of business software. However, it is extremely expensive to purchase. Fortunately, there is an open-source program that measures up to Microsoft Office. Open Officeis a free program that has all of the features of Microsoft Office. In addition, Open Office can open Microsoft Word documents and vice-versa. Open Office runs smoothly and has no cost or catch involved. I strongly recommend Open Office as your primary work processing application. Thank you for reading and please leave comments.

Google.com

Many people know how to use Google.com as a way to get free music and movies but I will explain for the people who don't know. First, go to Google.com. Once there, depending on what you want, there are two main things to type in. The first is: "type what you want here" intitle:"index.of" "parent directory" "size" "last modified" "description" (mp4|mp3|wmv) -inurl:(jsp|php|html|aspx|htm|cf|shtml|lyrics-realm|mp3-collection) -site:.info. This one is for mp3 music and mp4 videos but can be changes. Say you are looking for an avi file, you would have (avi) in place of (mp4|mp3|wmv). The other option is typing in: index of"parent directory" "type what you want here" -xxx -html -htm -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5su. This will just look for everything that someone has uploaded related to your keyword. These google hacks are very long and nearly impossible to remember, so firefox has a way to get around that. First, in place of your keywork, type in something easy to find, then search it on Google. For example, I would search index of"parent directory" "BLAAA!" -xxx -html -htm -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5su. Then when google is done loading, I would copy the url it has given me, mine is: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS259US259&q=index+of%22parent+directory%22+%22BLAAA%21%22+-xxx+-html+-htm+-shtml+-opendivx+-md5+-md5su&btnG=Search
Then, press ctrl+B (apple+b for macs) to open up the bookmarks and create a new bookmark. Once you have the small new bookmark window open, copy in the url from your previous search into the location field. Then, find you "easy to find" keyword and replace it with %s. In my search, I would replace %22BLAAA%21 with %22%s%21. Next is to set up a keyword, name and description. The keyword is the most important. This is the word i will use to perform this search. For example, my keyword is g (for Google). Then, if you did it correctly, when you go to the adress bar and type in your keyword then what you want to search for, the results would be the same as if you types the whole thing out yourself. I will soon try to post a youtube video tutorial on this and embed it into my website so keep looking but in the meantime, I would suggest checking out Jimmyr's tutorial on how to do this at http://youtube.com/watch?v=sRv953XZX6Y or Jimmr.com.
Thank you very much for reading and I hope you leave a comment or at least a thums up on Stumbleupon or Digg.

Flv Download helper

The next tip only works if you have Firefox. First, go here and download the downloadhelper. What this does is it takes the video in a website and t downloads it onto your desktop. The only problem is that it is in an flv format. To convert it I suggest freeflvconverter for a PC and for a mac, iSquint
Once you have it downloaded, go to a site that has a streaming movie and the three balls fill start moving around. Then you click on it and download it. I suggest a website like tv-links.cc or tv-links.eu but anything with streaming video will work. youtube.com will work well too. Once you have it downloaded, you will use a converter to make it the format you want. I will post a Youtube video soon because this theory is a little bit confusing.
Please post responses if your need any help or if you would like to comment.

Megaupload.com

For both free albums and movies, megaupload.com is perfect. If you visit megaupload.com, you will not be able to find any other files. What you will have to do is got to google.com and type in site:megaupload.com "what you want." For example, if I would like the album T.I. vs. T.I.P., I would type in site:megaupload.com T.I. vs. T.I.P and I would get this page. The first link looks pretty good so I might go ahead and click on it (depending on the format, most albums will be between 75mb and 130mb, and movies between 350mb and 750mb, all files drastically larger or smaller are probably fake). When I click on the link, I get this page, Then, I have a couple of options. If you are a free user, you will have to wait 30 seconds after entering the code in the top-right-center hand corner and will have to wait a while before downloading another file. The other option is a "premium link generator" which can be found on google. An example is mega.dl.
Many of the files that you will download will be compressed files. I recommend izarc if you cannot open the file. Izarc is a free compression/decompression open source piece of software. Once you open the file, unzip/extract the contents and it should be ready to play.

If you have firefox, there is a shortcut you can use so you don't have to type in site:megaupload.com and all that on google. First, simply go to google and type in site:megaupload.com laaaaaaaaaa. The laaaaaaaaa is there to find in the next step but you can use whatever you want. Second, go to your bookmarks (ctrl+b) and make a new one right click anywhere, then, "new bookmark." Once you have the new bookmark window open, create a name and as the location, paste the results for your google search from the address bar into the location. My location was http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amegaupload.com+laaaaaaaaaa&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS259US259.
Then, find where you put the laaaaaaaaaaa or whatever you put and replace it with %s.
Then simply choose a keyword. Finally to use this shortcut, you type in the address bar your keyword then what you want to search for. For example, since my keyword is mega, I would type in mega american pie, to see what american pie movies megaupload has.

Thank you for looking and please post a response!
