Copy.com , a DropBox alternative

Copy.com is a DropBox-alike service with much better storage. 15GB free once signup. This is overkill for DropBox 2GB per signup. For the event now you can even get 5GB per referral. This is insane. 

But it has not yet been tested. DropBox is nice but if this can catch up with it, the storage gives tremendous advantages over DropBox.

Accept the invitation links below and get yourself the 5GB extra once signup, it is a whoops 20GB fresh!

Welcome DropB...  Copyxing!  

A detail comparison will be posted once it has been tested adequately. 

Improving YouTube Streaming speed

Are you frustrated when YouTube goes buffering after a few seconds of streaming?

Do you noticed you can actually play snake game by pressing the arrows key on your keyboard when buffering icon is showing?

No.. That's not the point.. 

I am using 1Mbps line and viewing 360p video on YouTube shouldn't be a problem to me (well I can't forward it). But recently 360p is unstable, a lot. 

So I searched across Internet and came to this little trick (solution).

It works for me although not very obviously. 

Basically the steps are:

1.   Open Command Prompt with admin priviledge

      (Start -> type in "cmd" -> right click "run as administrator")

2.   Copy the following 

       netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="YourRuleName" dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes

3.    Paste into the Command Prompt. (CRTL + V won't works in CMD, right click -> paste instead)

4.    Enter and you shall see the message "Ok"

To revert, simply enter 

netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="YourRuleName"
