Luckily there is now Livestation, developed by the company with the same name. This news service has deals in place with some of the biggest news providers in the world and you can watch the broadcast live without any costs involved. Read the rest of this post »

The Great Firewall of China is an awesome tool in which the Chinese government has specially built to prevent accessing the whole content of the internet for those who are living in China. This Great Firewall is formidable as well as extensive, but it is possible to get around it by everyone. Those who are looking forward to work and live in China cannot be able to access any of the Google’s services such as Gmail, Gchat, search, etc. One of the simplest ways to get around the Great Firewall of China is making the servers within China.
