Also not everyone has the time to either go see a new movie or your cheap like I am and don't like to rent movies either. So here are some good websites to watch all you favorite shows for free streaming.

Megastic.com

These sites are pretty good for watching T.V. shows. They have some old shows but is mostly newer shows. To watch these videos you will need up to date flash video. Usually with shows that just aired it takes a few hours for them to upload the video.

This site falls into the same category as Videostic.com, but has all the lasted added contents on the home page. It is run through Zango, which is a pain in the ass, but all you have to do is click cancel when the Zango page appears. This site as a few different formats for each video.

Sidereel

This is one of my favorites because it provides multiple copies of every video. So you are able to choose from the video format you like. Also it has just about everything you could imagine, from movies to documentaries. Because this site has so many different formatted videos, you need to make sure you have the right software to run the videos.

OVGuide

And last but not least, actually quite opposite. OVGuide.com is a search engine that has many different free video sited it searches to find the video you want. This site has 2528 different sites it searches through and usually puts the best sites at the top of the list. The site is set up very well and is very user friendly; it has a search bar where you can search just about anything and is probably the best site to use to find any video you could want.

So now with all of these sites you shouldn't ever be out of the loop when it comes to new T.V. shows or new movies and you can watch them whenever you want.

Regardless of how valuable the information you're offering is, human beings are masters at procrastination, which usually leads to not doing something at all. What this means is that sometimes you have to prod people a little in the right direction in order to "encourage" them to go ahead and download your ebook Now. Here are some suggestions on how to go about this:

  1. Determine your target audience and research their needs and wants. This will enable you to effectively foresee any reservations you visitors might have about downloading your free ebook.
  2. Point out to your visitors the advantages of downloading your free ebook. Be sure to hit the right mental buttons by mentioning emotional as well as logical reasons. Stress how much reading it will benefit their business and educate them for any future endeavors. Tell them about how it will help move them towards their goals and achieving their dreams. Remind them how eventually, each little step they take will lead them toward the ultimate goal of owning a respectable and financially successful business they can be proud of.
  3. List the names of any famous people or individuals highly respected in their fields who have downloaded your ebook. Only one important reminder: You must always get the legal permission of these people before taking the liberty of using their names.
  4. Ignite the interest of visitors in your free ebook by making it seem to be in high demand. Do this by limiting the time your offer will be available -- When it's gone, it's gone! -- so they must Hurry! or miss out.
  5. Instill a sense of trust in your visitors. A good way of doing this involves simply telling them a few facts about your products or services, or business in general that they already know. By verifying these facts in their own minds, they'll feel more certain of your truthfulness and be more inclined to download your ebook.
  6. Tweak your visitor's curiosity. This is easy enough to do by making it necessary for them to sign-up to gain access to a password protected site in order to download it. This also has the benefit of enabling you to capture their names and use them as leads for promoting your business in the future.
]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:01:57 PST Privacy, Piracy & the Internet http://www.webupon.com/Security/Privacy-Piracy--the-Internet.229429 With more and more users logging on to the "net" we find that piracy is a greater concern due to more ease of access to bootlegged files. This in and of itself is a problem for few, but solution to many. The few I talk of, are the film industry, the music industry and other sellers of artistic integrity. The many, are the consumers, who more often than not in this generation, have it ingrained that 'we can download it first, and if we like it, then we will go out and purchase it when it is in retailers'. A simplistic view, illegal yet logical. People as a whole, do not like to find they have spent good money for "nothing". And this, is at the heart of the matter. The largest method of file sharing across the "net" lately are Torrents, shown with the file extension .torrent.

These work by the "seed" or the person hosting the files registering on websites, known as

trackers, which serve as a point of contact between the original seeds and the people who leech off of them. Users can also download parts of files from their "peers". Users who obtain the whole file(s) are then labelled as seeds and will upload the completed file to users. In and of itself, torrents are a simple and effective method of sharing files, however this is a double-edged sword as people upload "camrips" Camera rips, and then later "dvdrips" copies of DVD's purchased of movies and music.

Which brings us to the crux of the matter:

As an act of prevention, or perhaps as a measure or controlling modern society, many Internet Service Providers (ISP's) are now jumping on a bandwagon, where artists from industry such as game designing, music and film, can report people seeding their files (which by the way we must remind ourselves is their property) and the ISP can issue notice and then cut off Internet access to the building that is perpetrating the crime. When people are allowed to view what it is we are downloading, I personally believe that constitutes as a breach of privacy, no matter whether "we" as a populace are downloading illegal files or downloading legitimate files which we own the rights to. Others who feel the same have created programs, called peer guardians, which screen what you are downloading via peer to peer programs. However, if these are set to become a standard fixture, where we have to download third party programs just to protect our privacy, then our liberal democracy has just lost a lot of what made it a "liberal" democracy in the first place.

On the flip side, we have the artists that freely distribute what they make and request nothing in return. They accept donations but are made purely out of goodwill to the people. ] For example, I will use a peer guardian program named very simply "PeerGuardian" and "PeerGuardian2". Made by Phoenix Labs, it is freely distributed by their website, and taken straight from their site

"Like PeerGuardian?

Consider donating or clicking on an interesting banner to help pay for our servers and further the development of PeerGuardian and other Phoenix Labs software." - Phoenix Labs. As we can see, the makers of PeerGuardian, Phoenix Labs, make no demands for money, however if you enjoy the services that they provide, they request a donation to assist with running costs, or for you to click on banners made by sponsors, that pay them $X /month or year or provide them with some other form of compensation, such as web hosting in exchange for advertising on their site.

Another example of this goodwill idea is the Terra Bite lounge. This is a cafe/lounge that has a voluntary payment system that relies upon the integrity of its customers to make money. They provide a good service, and they request that the customers pay them however much they feel is appropriate. For example perhaps they may pay them the average price seen in other cafe's for a coffee. It is also left to the integrity of the customer to decide -when- payment will be made for the goods and services provided by the Terra Bite lounge. I must stress the fact that the Terra Bite is not a charity, they still expect payment in the end of their services. This is explained upon the press release for the Terra Bite's upcoming website.

"We are not a Charity."

Terra Bite is a cafe/deli with a voluntary payment system. We don't ask for charity. We believe we have better coffee and much better food than the cafe chains. All we ask is that those who can pay what they would elsewhere. It's a convenience for both sides: regular customers can choose to pay once a week for their daily coffee; we get to eliminate all the cash handling and get a highly efficient operation that allows us to benefit the public, without asking for charity.

We also offer free wifi, free console games, and a better reading selection.

There is really no reason to go to the chains: patrons can do exactly what they do at the chains, get better coffee and food, with a better experience -- and they can feel like they have done something good, which they have. " -Terra Bite founder Ervin Peretz. The question that I believe everyone is asking, is "why, in this digital age, can we not have freedom to download what we will, and purchase what we will?" Perhaps it's time we overcome this lack of trust in the rest of society for the ideals set out by men like Ervin Peretz, I am sure that given time, this would cut things like piracy of software and media to next to none, while the industries still make their money, for example the ability to download a song, and if you like it, perhaps pay a dollar to the artists for the song that you so enjoy.

Cutting the piracy also means cutting out the lack of privacy, being in a society built on trust. I don't see this as being a short term thing though, it would have to be a trust built up over time, but then also, it could work out favourably for the companies and artists making the things currently being pirated.

]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:28:31 PST The Internet Browser Wars: Four Reasons Why Firefox Outruns Explorer http://www.webupon.com/Browsers/The-Internet-Browser-Wars-Four-Reasons-Why-Firefox-Outruns-Explorer.223321 Your choice of browser can totally change your internet experience. As a person who spends lots of time online, I have observed that little advantageous features in my preferred browser often save me more time and effort. On the other hand, minor browser bugs can annoy the most patient of internet users.

Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer are two of the most reliable internet browsers on the planet. But here are some reasons why I think Firefox has a slight "winning edge" over Explorer:

Firefox Has The "Restore Session" Feature

In the event of a power outage, or if your computer stops responding, you can just exit and restart Firefox (don't restart your computer). When you relaunch Firefox, you will be given a choice to "Restore Session". When you choose this option, you will be taken back to any webpage you have been browsing before(including password protected pages).

Easier Access To Browsing History


With Internet Explorer, finding the 'browsing history' section is like finding the Holy Grail. I mean it! With Firefox, there's a highly conspicuous, separate tab fully devoted to your browsing history. In case you get lost while browsing 10,000 pages in an hour, you can just visit the 'History' section and toggle between pages that you have visited before. And yes, with Firefox it's easier to delete your history archives.

The Mozilla Firefox Interface Is Less Cluttered


Have you noticed that Internet Explorer sometimes takes longer to load than Firefox? This is because Explorer has more tabs/features/add-ons, and this is not necessarily good. When users browse online, majority of them don't care how many features are available on the browser. They just want to check their email, watch some Youtube videos, read the news etc...whatever they wanna do, they wanna do it faster!

Another thing, the Internet Explorer interface takes up too much screen space. Firefox is a breath of fresh air. It is less cluttered with features that you don't need anyway. There's more room for the webpage itself. (To be fair to computer geeks, Internet Explorer has more features to spend time with and explore on).

Firefox Automatically Opens .PDF Files -- No Need To Download


Online reports and e-books are pretty much popular online. These kinds of files frequently come in .PDF format (a file that can only be opened with Adobe Reader). With Internet Explorer, you cannot read .PDF files online. You need to download them before you can read them. That means, if the PDF file has some sort of viruses or malware attached to it, or if the source website is malicious, then you acquire those dangerous elements into your computer as well.

With Firefox, you can open PDF files online without having to download them. It's safer, faster, and it saves disk space. Ain't that convenient?

So, tell me, which browser are you using right now?

]]> Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:39:07 PST Five Factors for Safe and Enjoyable Web Browsing http://www.webupon.com/Browsers/Five-Factors-for-Safe-and-Enjoyable-Web-Browsing.141639 These days, the world wide web is a portal to both heaven and hell alike. Search engines make it possible to get a bird's eye view of any array of websites, good or bad. With the right keywords it's easy to find whatever one desires. From comical to cruddy, the internet is a gateway that can occupy the average person for hours on end. Yet, with all the capabilities the internet offers, that doesn't mean that there isn't anyone out to get you. Pornography and warez sites are some of the most polluted websites on the dark side of the web. Whether you browse those sites or not, this article will help ensure you don't walk into a spyware death trap.

  1. Mozilla Firefox

    If you haven't already, get Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox is a world away from internet explorer in ways that you can't imagine unless you've used the application before. Firefox is the foundation upon which you will build your own mechanical composition of add-ons and themes so that you'll be able to browse safely and efficiently.

  2. AdBlock Plus

    AdBlock Plus is a firefox extension that does, well, basically just what it's name says. It is extremely good at weeding out any lingering advertisements and annoying marketing jibberjabber right before the page is loaded, and all without corrupting the layout of the page.

  3. Sxipper 

    Sxipper is a firefox addon that basically manages forms. If you've ever heard of Roboform, compare it to that; it's only better and free.

  4. Stylish & Greasemonkey

    These two are so great that when combined they have the potential to create an entirely new 'look-like-you-want-it-to' internet. The two extensions allow the code of any selected page to be modified to what is specified, as well as improved and changed. Stylish uses 'userstyles' and greasemonkey uses 'userscripts', and they use them well. In order to incorporate one, all you have to do is click the button on the website and voila, you can check out the new look or functionality that's been added to whatever website you chose. One style I highly recommend is Gmail Redesigned (by Globex Designs).

  5. ScrapBook

    Ever want to save a web page on your hard drive and not have to deal with the risk of the page eventually turning into a 404 error page? ScrapBook has your answer. Scrapbook allows you to save a webpage quickly and effortlessly with a click of the mouse. It operates almost exactly like the bookmarks menu, all of your saved pages are stored in a menu right above your address bar.
]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:27:47 PST 10 Reasons to Chose Firefox http://www.webupon.com/Browsers/10-Reasons-to-Chose-Firefox.132275 Firefox updates itself often

Whenever updated versions of Firefox are available, Firefox automatically downloads them and installs them upon the next time you restart Firefox. These updates include mainly security features that help keep you safe, making Firefox the leading internet browser in safety.

Firefox has themes

Finding an internet browser that suits your style can be hard... But that was before Firefox came into the picture. Firefox has an endless amount of themes that are simple to install. These themes change the Firefox colours, buttons, and other features to fit your style.

Firefox add-ons/extensions help make your life easier

The add-ons/extensions on Firefox are endless. You can get add-ons that will control your media players through a control panel in Firefox. You can get an add-on that displays a screen saver to help protect your screen when you wander off. You can even get an add-on that lets you decide whether to save or open PDF files when you click on them.

Firefox is better for viewing pages

Excluding Microsoft pages, which are rigged to work best on Internet Explorer (made by Microsoft), and to work poorly on other browsers; Firefox is the best browser for viewing websites. I am not sure exactly what is it that makes these sites run better, but Firefox pulls it off.

Firefox restores pages when it closes improperly

We've all experienced losing the pages we were on due to browsers/computers freezing up, power going off, etc. And we have all been ticked off when we lost whatever page we were viewing or working on. If Firefox closes improperly, when it restarts it will prompt you to restore your last session or start a new one.

Firefox lists recently closed tabs

Under the history menu, Firefox has a section that lists recently closed tabs. So if you accidentally close it, there are no worries, as you can easily get back to where you were with 2 simple clicks. Even if you didn't close the tab accidentally, it is great for finding any recent page you looked at.

Firefox has built in search engines

Tired of typing in URL's to search engine sites? Firefox provides a section where you can chose your default search engine/site (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia), and you can type in what you want to search on that site. Whether you want to find info on identity theft on Google, or want to look up the history of the Jaw Harp on Wikipedia, Firefox brings you this convenience. Note: This feature is amazing for dial-up users.

Firefox imports Internet Explorer settings

For Internet Explorer users: When you first install Firefox, it will import your existing Internet Explorer settings, including your Favorites, cookies, stored passwords, and a variety of other data. This saves you a lot of time, and makes switching to Firefox even more convenient.

Firefox has keyboard shortcuts

Firefox and Internet Explorer share many of the same keyboard shortcuts. So if you are used to certain shortcuts on Internet Explorer, than changing to Firefox is certainly going to be convenient and the only difference you will notice is that pages load quicker, there are less errors, and it's a better browsing experience.

Firefox is just plain awesome!

There are so many reasons why Firefox is the best browser to chose, but what tops it off is that the experience itself is unique, and after trying out Firefox for yourself, you too will understand this reason. So if you don't have Firefox yet, what are you waiting for!?! It's free, and it's the best! Happy internet browsing!
