Here’s a tutorial on how to download youtube videos using Orbit Downloader:

I will not go into the tutorial on how to install Orbit Downloader, I will only tackle topics about downloading youtube videos using that software.

Keyword Country

Using KeywordCountry for keyword research is just like searching on Google. Yes, you get the relevant keyword results right away with all the details that you need to be successful with AdSense! Just imagine Google suggesting keywords for your website! Well, this is what you will feel while searching keywords via Keyword Country.

This is not all! I strongly feel that Keyword Country seems to have discovered a way through which it can suggest keywords that attract traffic, get more clicks, and fetch you more EPC.

Keyword Country positions itself as a “Keyword Search Engine.” And quite obviously, I was more than curious to test whether or not the product stands up to what it commits. Here is what I found:

In fact, I have been keeping an eye on Keyword Country for quite some time now. I must say when Keyword Country started off, it was not so striking. But, their latest version seems to have done the trick!

Just type-in a keyword in KeywordCountry, and you have millions of relevant keywords within a few seconds, each with key details like:

  • Max CPC
  • Number of Advertisers
  • Number of Clicks per month
  • Estimated EPC
  • Number of competitors
  • KEI Analysis
  • R/S Ratio
  • Number of Searches (according to Overture)
  • Traffic on Google (estimated) …and much more!

Keyword Country is really user friendly. In fact, using it is as easy as walking down a smooth lane in the bright sunshine with both the eyes wide open. More importantly, what impressed me a lot is the way Keyword Country produces thousands of high paying keywords and niche keywords in the blink of an eye.

Keyword Country allows you to search for keywords in 3 different ways via Basic Search, Advanced Search, and Price Range Search. At the outset, I thought they are shuffling the same keywords in the three different searches. But no! The results are actually search specific, and enable you to choose the best keywords that suit your requirements. There is no cheating in their search results.

I was planning for an auto loan, so I tried the keyword – “loan,” I just typed the keyword in BASIC Search and I got 21,086 relevant keywords within a few seconds, each with key details like Max CPC, Number of Advertisers, Number of Clicks per month, Estimated EPC, Number of competitors, KEI Analysis, R/S Ratio, Number of Searches (according to Overture), and Traffic on Google.

I was really impressed by the relevancy of the keywords that I found. The results are so relevant that you can actually export the list and use it right away in your website without even filtering out any record. However, the results become a bit irrelevant as you dig deep into the list (just like in a search engine). But, I must say that the results seem to have been sorted by humans, and not by software. It is more like stealing the keyword research from a professional SEO.

Not just this, I had another option of choosing high paying keywords from 206 different sub-categories for the search term - Loan. I picked - Auto loan, and Keyword Country listed 1,257 keywords for the sub-category - Auto loan.
Price Range Searching is another remarkable feature Keyword country boasts. This search enables you to search for the keywords within a specific price range. One of the key advantages of this kind of a search is that it brings forth lots of low priced, hidden keywords that are really profitable. Besides, you can brainstorm new ideas for AdSense as well.

Above all things, it is the Advanced Searching option that makes Keyword Country a bit special. I think these guys have really thought hard! This time they have come up with a tool that allows you to do in-depth research for each keyword. Offering a variety of searching options just like Wild Cards of Google, Advanced Searching can sort results on the basis of Max CPC, Average CPC, Searches, Sponsors, or anything else you like.

After going through Keyword Country videos, Advanced Search starts making a lot of sense and you really get the hang of the powers of KC’s Advanced Search tool.

Sort the results by “Rating,” and KC will give you only profitable keywords. Sort the results by “Clicks per month,” and you will get the keywords that attract the most clicks for Google. Just integrate these keywords in your website, and you will increase the chances of getting more CTR. Furthermore, there are many more types of keywords that you can find out with Keyword Country. Just run through the Keyword Country videos for complete details.

Here are links to all the videos:

Besides, you can customize your search the way you want. Whether you type in a search query, or you search the keywords without typing in a search query – Keyword Country generates hordes of keywords spanning different industries. I won’t hesitate to say that I found such a tool after a long… long time! Well Done!

One of the most striking features of this software is “Blank Search.” Now, this is one feature that I have not seen anywhere else. Blank Search allows you to reach the most searched keywords on planet earth, most clicked keywords that exist, most high paying keywords, and most low competition high value keywords. Just leave the keyword field blank in Advanced Search, and Keyword Country will give you such amazing lists. This feature makes Keyword Country really outstanding. I can’t believe they are selling its access so cheap!

They claim to be a “Keyword Search Engine.” I believe they have already achieved what they claim. And they are still making it better and better day by day. I am sure they can make their product even more special.

Keyword Country’s the Good and the Bad

Another internet tool I use on my PC, the uTorrent - The Best .torrent Downloader for me.. It’s so light and quick downloader.  I am amazed by this software, being only 260+kb and do its job nicely. That is why, I always have this software on my PC.

Where to use it?

If you are not aware of torrent downloader, then you must know it now.  It’s another way of P2P sharing of files.  You download and in return seed files for other to download.

And you can also have it since it is a free software, you can download it from its website or from other downloading network like Cnet.

Publisher’s description on uTorrent - a free .torrent Downloader:

uTorrent is a powerful and efficient BitTorrent client for Windows. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in uTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading, and Mainline DHT. Additionally, uTorrent supports the protocol encryption joint specification and peer exchange. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources–typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren’t there at all.

Version 1.8.1 is a bug-fixing release.

Note: Some anti-virus software may trigger a false positive trojan alert on this program.

Features of uTorrent - a free .torrent Downloader:

  • Popularity:#2 in File Sharing (out of 129 products)
  • License:Free

Cnet’s Editor Review on uTorrent - a free .torrent Downloader:

  • “Light and quick downloading”

Still not for the faint of heart, this torrent utility is one of the easiest to use. The uTorrent executable adds a directory and some option information to your PC, but it is still small enough to run off an old USB key. The memory footprint for uTorrent is very small, and system resources are barely touched. Our testers found that IP phones were difficult to use with a torrent, but uTorrent’s simple button interface makes it easy to pause downloading.

The most difficult aspect of using a torrent client is finding the torrents, but included are both a torrent search bar that links to MiniNova and a handy RSS feed download function. Subscribe to select feeds, and uTorrent automatically downloads files as they publish. Adding, starting, pausing, and listing torrents takes merely a click or two each. A speed guide helps you test your ports and adjust system settings for optimal performance.

Even though uTorrent is now owned by BitTorrent, there haven’t been many noticeable drawbacks, if any. Some tried-and-true BitTorrent options are available to uTorrent users, such as Local Peer Discovery and DHT Network. The latest version also includes Teredo and Ipv6 support, and patches a critical security error that has been discovered in all pre-1.8 builds, making this one of the secure torrent clients around. Throw in all the other features, and that should make it the torrent program of choice for novices, intermediate, and advanced users.

I’ve been using this software since I stumble on this free download manager software.  And I love this software, that is why I’m sharing you this one - ORBIT DOWNLOADER, a free download manager and it’s the best among it’s kind!

And now, Orbit Downloader releases its newest version - Orbit Downloader 2.7.8.

Publisher’s description on ORBIT Downloader 2.7.8 - Free Download Manager:

Cnet’s Editor’s Review on Orbit Downloader:

Downloading videos, Flash games, and large batches of files is greatly simplified with this freeware download manager, but Firefox 2 users may have difficulty with integration.

Orbit’s primary interface is bland, but the basic toolbar and info boxes guarantee everything is easy to find. Orbit shines with Internet Explorer integration. To get a media file, simply right-click a video or photo and choose Download from your context menu. Grabbing a Flash game is even easier. Hover over a Flash file, and Orbit displays a button for a fast download.

Fast and small are key traits of this application. It uses a bare minimum of memory, and downloads are much faster than with a browser alone. Where Orbit shines is its one-button simplicity for downloading multiple files on a site. From there, you can easily filter for file type. Orbit’s numerous configuration options make it one of the more flexible download managers available.

Although designed to integrate with the IE, Firefox, Opera and Maxthon, we had great difficulty getting Orbit to work seamlessly with Firefox. We finally gave up trying to get the Flash download feature to work. Nevertheless, anyone downloading large numbers of files will find this freeware indispensable.

Here’s the Changelog of Orbit Downloader - the Best Free Download Manager:

(From versions 2.7.5 - 2.7.8)

Orbit Downloader V2.7.8 ( Oct 31,2008)

* Add: Orbit Downloader 2 Years commemorative edition toolbar icon.

A complete funny Bisaya series of Apocalypto made by Haringbuang - a very talented guy whom I would like to meet in person.

Making this series would be so much of a challenge, but I think Haringbuang was just so talented.  It started the Bisaya Youtubenovela..

From Apocalypto, he managed to get the scene needed and dubbed it to Bisaya making it very funny.  And not just making it funny but also getting the whole story of Apocalypto Movie.  Also one of the best dubbed Bisaya Videos in Youtube, the action and lips of the actor in the video is mostly synchronize with the voices..  Simply the BEST!!!

Wordpress 2.7 Beta 1 now available

Since November 1, 2008, Wordpress.org give the public the Wordpress 2.7 Beta 1 for download and testing.  Here’s the blog post on Wordpress.org written by Ryan Boren:

“The first public beta of WordPress 2.7 is here at last.  Join the thousands of people already testing 2.7 by downloading 2.7 Beta 1.  As previously mentioned on this blog, 2.7 is bringing a new visual design.  This design is almost completely implemented, but there are still a few areas that aren’t quite finished in Beta 1.  There are also several glitches in certain browsers.  Beta 1 provides the best experience in Firefox and Safari. Don’t worry, we are working on IE and Opera and will have those looking good in time for the final release.

Speaking of the final release, it will not be available on November 10th as originally scheduled.  We are two weeks behind schedule at the moment.  We need a little more time to finish the visual design, do a round of user testing against that finished design, and do a proper round of public beta testing. Our plan is to keep working as if Nov. 10 is still the release date.  However, instead of releasing the final 2.7 on the 10th, we will make a release candidate available instead.  The release candidate is intended to be a high-quality, almost-finished release that we are comfortable recommending for broad use.  After Nov. 10, the focus will be on fixing high impact bugs turned up by those of you testing the release candidate. I suspect 2.7 will be ready for final release by the end of November.  A specific date will be set as we progress through the public beta cycle and get a feel for how solid the release is.

Get WordPress 2.7 Beta 1.”

Every day Internet users have to create and enter to multiple web accounts. It’s ok if you have to remember two or three different passwords, but what if you have to remember 10 or more. This can be a great problem because you may even forget which password belongs to which account. And as the number of used passwords grows over time, so does user confusion.

How Password Manager Help You?

However, you can avoid most, if not all, of the password related problems by using a simple password manager - the program which helps you keep and effectively manage all your Internet passwords. This password manager review is intended to help you choose the best piece of password software out of the many solutions which are currently on the market.

In this review, I am not going to describe each and every program out there, but rather give you a hint on what kind of functionality a good password manager should have. Let’s start with solving particular password related problems.

Password related problems:

Forgotten Password

Number one is forgotten password. It’s a real catastrophe when you can’t enter to your account because you simply aren’t able to remember the word! So how does a password manager help you solve this problem? A good password manager saves your passwords to a database. So whenever you need to enter to an account, it automatically fills in the login and password fields. It’s a great way to avoid having to remember passwords.

Password Manager vs. Modern Internet Browsers

You may argue that any modern browser can do that too. Yes, it can, but if you allow your browser to remember you password, technically you allow anyone who has access to your machine to enter to your account without your permission. Unlike a browser, password manger saves your data to a secure database protected with your master password. Once you’ve finished your work, you lock the database, and you can leave your browser open. Nobody will be able to access your accounts anyway.

Another feature that a good password manager should have is structuralized password storage. It is good if your passwords are grouped into categories such as passwords for email accounts, passwords for online shopping accounts etc. This provides the quickest way to access your accounts on the web, and you always know where to find each particular password.

Still another useful feature is the ability to create strong passwords. Man-made passwords have a major flaw of being weak and easy to crack because human language has a high level of predictability. On the contrary, machine-made passwords are much stronger because they consist of a random combination of letters and digits thus being harder to crack. So it is a must-have feature for any good password manager.

Now imagine you go to an Internet café or to a friend’s house where you don’t have access to your password storage database. In this case a good password manager allows storing your password database on an email server from which you can download it and use on any computer.

Trick or Treat!!!

Top 20 Scary Halloween Movies

Turn off your lights and hold on tight. Here is a list of films to give you the shivers this Halloween.

Top 10 R-Rated Halloween Movies

For the best of gore, suspense, and thrills take your pick from our R-rated classics.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
For the ultimate Halloween experience, catch a late-night showing of the raunchy musical about a couple who get lost and stumble into an alien transvestite’s castle. Make sure you don’t ruin it by watching it on video. This film is all about audience participation.

The Shining
Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel could quite possibly be one of the scariest films of all time. The bone-chilling movie is based in an isolated hotel where Jack Nicholson and his family have moved in as caretakers for the winter. What follows is a ghostly encounter with a former hotel custodian who murdered his wife and two daughters. Beware: The eerie silence of the movie will haunt you long after you’ve hit the stop button.

The Silence of the Lambs
Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter the Cannibal will scare you into numbness. Not for the weak-hearted — the psychological thriller is a two-hour-long hair raiser about FBI agent Clarice Starling, who tries to gain insight into a murderer’s mind by interviewing psychopath Hannibal.

Halloween
A Halloween night turns deadly when a former child murderer escapes from the mental hospital and returns to his small hometown to terrorize a babysitter. Soon her friends start disappearing one by one….

Poltergeist
Watch this before you go haunted house hunting this Halloween. A suburban family is visited by ghosts who play odd tricks on them, and soon the events build up to a frightening climax when the ghosts kidnap the youngest daughter.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
The film that spawned six sequels and made Freddy Krueger into a household monster is still a must-watch horror flick. A group of teenagers start having dreams about a scarred man with razor fingers and soon they are brutally murdered in their sleep. The remaining teen, Nancy, realizes that she has to stay awake to survive. Good luck going to bed after this one!

Alien
This ultimate horror-sci-fi combo is an eerie look at what happens when a space crew stumbles upon an unknown planet and finds alien eggs.

Night of the Living Dead
This black-and-white film can still disturb you to death. You’ll cross your fingers for the group of people who hide in a farmhouse, trying to avoid being killed by the dead who have come back to life.

The Exorcist
You’ll know why The Exorcist is the most bloodcurdling movie ever made when you watch the brutal depiction of a 12-year-old girl possessed by an evil spirit as the exorcist tries to save her.

Seven
Shock, nausea, and utter fright, you’ll feel it all at the pit of your stomach while watching Seven. The intense psychological drama follows two detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, as they try to catch a maniac who plans to kill seven people, one for each of the seven deadly sins.

Top 10 Family-Friendly Halloween Movies

Casper
Take a look at what happens when a ghost buster and his daughter move into a haunted mansion only to meet one very friendly ghost and his hostile “fleshies” hating uncles! Get the special edition DVD for fun extras like games, safety tips and scenes, all suitable for kids 3 and above.

Clifford’s Big Halloween
Chock-full of thrills and chills. Your kids will love the mishaps of the Big Red Dog as he gets accidentally trapped in a bed sheet and scares his neighbors in one fun-packed Halloween night.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The books and movies have already cast a spell on your family. So what better time than Halloween to revisit the magical world of little wizard Potter? Don’t miss Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, praised by critics as the best in the series, although your kids below 8 might find it disturbing.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Dubbed by a critic as one of “the most sincere of all Halloween specials,” this classic should not be missed. How can you let Halloween pass without a sneak peek at the Peanuts gang searching for the best trick-or-treating costumes and other Charlie Brown-style antics?

Monsters, Inc.
BOO! There’s a monster in your closet. It’s huge, with blue fur and purple spots….and it’s adorable. This heart-tugging movie follows the hilarious adventures of a two-year-old girl, aptly named Boo, who stumbles into monster world and frightens the daylights out of these supposedly scary ogres.

Rugrats Halloween
Here’s a spooktacular helping of an animated favorite! In this special, Angelica, one of the four Rugrats’ cousins, blackmails them into believing that they’ll turn into whatever they’re dressed up as if they don’t give her all their Halloween candy.

SpongeBob Squarepants: Halloween
Dive into the underwater town of Bikini Bottom with the adorable sea sponge and his friends as they embark on one eerie adventure after another. Five action-packed episodes include “Scaredy Pants,” “Imitation Krabs,” “Frankendoodle,” “I Was a Teenage Gary,” and “Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost.”

For 12 and Above Halloween Movies

Beetlejuice
For a side-splitting evening with the family, rent Beetlejuice. It’s hard not to get ticklish and creeped out by the freakish Beetlejuice, hired by a couple of ghosts to chase away the new owners of their house.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
A ghoulish tale with elements of horror, fantasy, musical, and comedy all rolled into one stunning animated film. You’ll watch with morbid fascination as the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown stumbles into Christmastown and tries to take over Christmas by kidnapping Santa!

The Witches
This macabre on-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel is a gripping treat for both kids and adults. An orphaned boy moves with his grandmother to an English hotel, where a horrifying group of child-hating witches is holding a convention. What follows is definitely not a fairy tale but a sinister black comedy where good does eventually win over evil.

In the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you can use passwords to help
prevent other people from opening or modifying Microsoft Office Word
2007 documents, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbooks, and Microsoft
Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations.

Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don’t mix these elements. Strong
password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or
more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more
characters is better.

write down in a secure place away from the information that they help
protect.
