If you haven't got the idea yet, Google is my favorite and recommended search engine. I use Google simply because I find it faster to search in the Internet. Pages load really fast in Google, unlike some search engines which loads many things. Google also have many sites stored in its cache. Even my blog is easier to be found in Google than other search engines. And that's why the word "Google-ing" was born.

Internet Trick: How to Search for Files in Mediafire (Using Google's Web Search)

Mediafire, my favorite file hosting site

Computer Trick: Share Internet Connection from Any Modem (Huawei, ZTE) to LAN / Wireless LAN through ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)

SmartBro Plug-It

In our dormitory in UP Diliman there hasn't been an internet connection accessible near our rooms Update Jan. 28, 2011: Dilnet is now available at almost every room, just find the nearest router to your room. People here  have two ways to connect to the internet: Go downstairs to the lobby and use wi-fi to connect through Dilnet or get a prepaid modem. I myself connect to the internet through a SmartBro plug-it (Modem: ZTE MF627). SmartBro is oftentimes slow especially in the late morning or in the afternoon. Luckily this internet speed test I took went faster than usual.

Internet Blogging Credibility

A very bad image created in Paint by me.

While on my way out, I've had this unfriendly-like and arguing-like conversation with a good friend about Internet Blogging. He really said he doesn't like to read blogs (I'm not sure, it could be that he DOESN'T read blogs at all). It's not because he doesn't want to read personal things (or even non-personal things), but because of its credibility. "Trust", I think, is a very big word for him, and people who just post anything in blogs aren't trustworthy. Even the whole  most parts in the Internet, like Wikipedia, isn't credible enough for him.
