on
Lifehacker (5174) permalink
Many people don't realize that rather than installing dozens of applications, you can control nearly any aspect of your computer with simple shortcuts that don't take up any resources. You can even take this approach a step further and assign shortcut keys using the built-in Windows hotkey functionality, or access them from the keyboard using your favorite application launcher. Let's take a look at a number of simple shortcuts to control some frequently used tasks. ...Shared by AaronTN (21) adastra (1) AJ (154) alfred westerveld (24) Amy (9) Andrea (8) Andrea (3) ani625 (57) ansar_lawi (14) Arvin (4) Augmented Web (26) axemclion (3) Ben (1) Bernardo (10) Billy Fairchild (2) Brett (3) Brian (26) Bruno Figueiredo (0) C.K.

Know What Salary to Ask For in Your New Job [How To] (130)
onQuestions about salary requirements are one of the very few questions guaranteed to come up during a job interview or screening process, as well as almost always cause some severe awkwardness on both sides.

I've noticed that an increasing number of YouTube videos are restricted to a limited number of countries, probably because the company that uploaded them doesn't have global distribution rights or because it wants to use different marketing strategies in other countries. Even if YouTube says that "this video is not available in your country", you can actually see it using a very simple trick: replace http://www.youtub... with http://www.youtub...
