Get Free Knowledge With 3 Cool Internet Stuff

One of the most amazing things that the internet has done is to make information freely available to all. But with an enormous amount of data available online, the process of filtering the good from the bad is as tedious as it looks. If you have the inquisitiveness to learn new things, you can learn anything from calculus to organic chemistry at home or watch inspiring videos of change-making people. We’ve decided to feature some cool tools for our readers—especially students—but the vastness of open information available make them suitable for anyone to dive.








Yes, YouTube. But any random video will most certainly not be a good source of infotainment. To filter out useful videos, create an account and add channels that you know are helpful. The place to go to for university lectures and other educational material is www.youtube.com/education. The best part is that you can select the quality of the video you stream according to your internet connection—240p for a slower connection and 340p and above for faster ones. And with YouTube you are sure to find many new things to learn.







Technology, Entertainment and Design—that’s what TED stands for. And since 2006, they have been offering downloads of short talks and presentations by people who have tried to change society. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Founders of Google), Julian Assange, and U2’s Bono are some of the speakers who have shared “ideas worth sharing”—the central vision of TED Talks. With more than 700 videos, and almost all of them shorter than 20 minutes, this is a wonderful source of not just information but also for inspiration and creativity. You will find hundreds of clips to download. Furthermore, you can also select the quality of the download according to your bandwidth.













Apple is not as evil as it appears. Even though it overcharges us for a wide range of devices, it has won our heart with the noble pursuit of making university lectures and talks, educational videos and audio available to download all under one roof. The only requirement—you’ll have to download iTunes, which is free anyway. Simply click on iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes. Please note that you will require an internet connection throughout. After some loading, a screen will show up telling you that the iTunes Store is not available in Nepal. No worries, we are after iTunes U, the link for which you will now notice at the centre (top-right). Now come the goodies! You will be able to download lectures from renowned universities—MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Yale—for free. And if you think these are high level courses that you might not be interested in, don’t worry. There are so many videos that you are bound to find some that appeal to you. Just use the iTunes U Power Search (available on the top-right) or view the categories in which the videos are organised.

Couple Of Free Tools For Your Windows Machine

Whatever we may say about Windows, but the truth of the matter is that it is still the dominant operating system for both desktops and laptops and the user base keeps in increasing with each system sold.  Now new users who buy a Windows PC are in fix sometimes as it does not come with a lot of free software which is used daily.


Let’s find out about some free tools that you can utilize daily to make your life easier and make your Windows environment a better place.














What to do if you have accidentally deleted some of your documents from the hard drive (internal of external) or your flash drive. This software will help you recover it as long as you have not overwritten the free space with data or formatted the memory. The software is available at piriform.com/recuva.













What if you want to share your desktop screen with someone? Don’t worry help is at hand. With Screenleap, which is a screen sharing service that works through the browser and you do not need to download and install anything or even sign up. You only need Java which is free and mostly everyone has it. This allows multiple people to view your screen at the same time. This software is available at screenleap.com













Now some users prefer Mac due to its slickness. You can have some of the slickness by using Rocketdock which is a customizable application launcher which provides a clean interface to add/ remove shortcuts and can replace the standard Windows taskbar. You can add themes and animation effects as well. It is available at rocketdock.com












This is media software available at xbmc.org which enhances the user experience if you use the computer to connect to the TV or view pictures or listen to music. It has a number of add-ons and has an active user community. The interface is fully customizable and the computer becomes full-fledged entertainment device.













Most of us have certain files on the computer which we do not like anybody to access and view. For this we can utilize the services of TrueCrypt (available at truecrypt.org). This is free open source encryption software that will secure files on your hard drive which even an experience hacker will find hard to access.

You can also create an encrypted section in the drive and it does not slow the system as well.
