If you are tired of studying all day long, I have some good and simple methods that will help you get good grades without even reading a book or something. Notice that I don’t encourage copying at school instead of learning, because without learning you won’t be successful.

- The scrip integrated in the pencil

This method is a little bit expensive, efficient but it has a big disadvantage – many information won’t fit in a pencil. Ok, so to do that you need to buy a big pencil. Do you know that type of pencils with 5 or more colors, a pencil with many lamellas in it? Ok, buy one! I had a pencil like that and on each lamella I stuck a thin small piece of paper and rolled it. When wanting to copy, just pull that paper and it will roll out.

- The first high-tech copying method

Forget the oldschool! If you have a good cell phone with a camera integrated in it, a camera that works very well, then you must try this method because it is very efficient. I think you know what you have to do. Just make some pictures of the papers you have to learn. While on a test, pretend that you are trying to see what time it is or you are using the calculator on your phone, but, actually you are copying, haha!

- The second high-tech copying method

Another high-tech method is the one with the hands-free. To do that, you have to record your voice while reading the papers you need to learn, upload the file on your mobile phone, and then listen to your voice when you have the test. Or, if you have a good friend, you may ask him to call you and read you what you need.

- The geek method

Here’s a geeky method. For this, you need a coke, a scanner, a printer, a computer, and a few photoshop skills. Here’s the video tutorial for this method:

- Old style method

Least but not last, the very old method – the standard copying style. All you need for this is one small piece of paper, and good writing skills because you need to write as small as you can. This is the fastest method, it doesn’t require you much time for preparation, but you risk to get caught.

I have some good news for you! ICANN ( Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ) thought that there aren’t enough domains available on the internet, most of the good ones are taken so there is a great proposal: .news, .sports, .ebay and more. This is very good because we all know that many good domain names are taken, so if you want to start a sports related blog you have to think hours and hours for finding a good domain name that is available but with this change you will be able to buy a domain that ends in .sports.

You will be able to buy the domain that is has the most related name to your website’s content. For example, if you wish to start a blog where you will write about IBM products, you will be able to buy a domain with the extension .ibm, isn’t that great?

It will be a little weird at the beginning, until we will get used with these new extensions, but we’ll manage.

Everyone wants to have great big profiles on social media with many fans and friends. This is not hard. Here are some tips that I learned in time.

- Don’t be a hater

This may be the most important aspect. Being a hater isn’t good at all. It’s true, you can’t just like everything you see on digg, sphinn,stumbleupon,reddit and so on, but not liking everything … this is a big problem! You are definitely frustrated. So cut off this attitude, be nice. I am talking about social media, the keyword is social so you must get in touch with others, be nice and make friends!

- Don’t be desperate

Let’s say that you like someone’s activity there on a social media, you add him as a friend and then you beg him to add you as a friend too. No, this is not the way to do it! First, just introduce yourself, something like “Hey, I liked your profile so I added your as a friend. I had a good laugh reading …” talk more with him or her and the chances are big to become mutual friends.

- Get involved in discussions

Getting involved in discussions is very important. On stumbleupon you can find some nice targeted groups and discuss with people that have same preferences as you, this way you could gather some more friends and fans. Digg, sphinn, don’t have groups like that but there is no problem! Comment on the articles you liked, many times there will be “hot” discussions on some. Get involved in them! Let your voice be heard because your opinion does matter!

Just follow these steps and you’ll see the good results coming, hit me with a comment or e-mail if you have any more tips regarding this.

Yes you heard me, unfortunately there’s a big threat for you at this moment! Tell me please, why do you love internet? First, let me tell you why I love it. I love it because of its freedom, you can be anybody here, anywhere, reading anything you want no matter your job, or even your age! Internet is a great source for documentation, having fun, connecting with others or even finding the job that suits you.

As I came across a Google’s page today, I was shocked. There was a big title “A Note to Google Users on Net Neutrality:” so I read the whole article. I say it again, I was shocked, Eric Schmidt was writing that there is a debate heating up in Washington, DC on something called “net neutrality” and Google was requesting our help. Nobody wants the internet to be controlled by phone and cable companies and not allow us to see what we first want and when. Nobody wants restrictions. Internet is a a great highway, a world without restrictions and that’s how it must be in future too!

If you want to help with this,  you are pleased to call (202-224-3121) and let your voice be heard.

Google changed its favicon with a new and stupid one, personally I don’t like it at all and I would like to change it back to the old, classical one. I found a great way to do that.

There is a Greasmonkey script that runs with Firefox and Safari, sorry for the Internet Explorer or Opera users. Ok, so to do that you first need to install the Greasemonkey script like an add-on for the browser, and after restarting the browser, you’ll see the link for installing it. After doing that, here is what I got:

Before and after:

Do you remember about this article regarding the plans of Firefox 3 to set a World Record? To do that, Firefox 3 must be the most downloaded browser in 24 hours.

Well, Firefox 3 is a true success, being download by more than 8 million people in only 24 h – the top countries being US, Germany, Japan, Spain, UK, France, Iran, Italy, Canada, and Poland.

All we can do right now is just to wait and see what the people from Guinness will have to say about this stunning record, but I am 99% sure that Firefox 3 has made it to the top.

By the way, the guys from Internet Explorer made a delicious present for the guys from Mozilla, congratulating them for their new amazing release:
