Google Speaks Your Language!

If you're a teen and your parents have blocked some websites here is an easy trick to fool your computer (and hopefully your parents). First, go to translate.google.com. Then, at the bottom, type in the url of the site you wish to visit. Next, set the language to something that won't be on the site you're trying to access (e.g. Russian to English). If the translator can't find any words in Russian, it won't change anything. Lastly, hit translate and the selected web page will load -- slightly slower than normal but it's worth the wait.

Hide Google Searches From Your Boss!

Google searches are very easy to decode and as such, they are often monitored. For example, when you type "private equity jobs new york" into the google search bar, the resulting url looks like this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Private+Equity+Jobs+New+York&btnG=Google+Search -- not too hard to figure out what you are up to. Luckily our friends at Digital Inspiration found a workaround, in fact they found 10. Check out their full post here. Happy Searching!
