Use a Ipad or Tablet as a computer monitor

If you are an Android or Ipad tablet owner, you can setup your device as a secondary external monitor that can compliment your Mac or PC. This is a great way to add more screen real estate without having to purchase an additional monitor. It also provides a more versatile workspace.
iPad External Monitor
Setting up a tablet or ipad as a computer monitor doesn’t require jail breaking or anything like that, as there are some readily available apps in the AppStore and Google Play that make the process quite simple.

Android Tablets

Android users who want to setup their Google based tablet as an external monitor may want to consider using the following apps:
Screen Slider
Screen Slider, a software development of REDFLY, uses Wi-Fi connection technologies to allow you to pair an Android based tablet with a computer wirelessly. This app is also ultra affordable, currently priced at only $0.99 USD in Google Play. To setup the Screen Slider app, you must of course download the app to your tablet, but like most external monitor apps, you must also download a lightweight application to your computer.
REDFLY Screen Slider
This app is also offered in a pro version, which provides even more features such as additional gestures, and more display options such as dedicated mirror mode.
iDisplay
The name iDisplay might come off at first as an Apple product. However, the iDisplay app, available in Google Play, offers both Mac and PC compatibility.
iDisplay for Android
The app is currently priced a bit higher than Screen Slider, at $4.99 USD.
iDisplay of course offers basic monitor extension, but some other notable features offered by the app are zoom options, gestures, and support for different display modes such as portrait and landscape.

iPad

iPhone users who want to setup their Apple based tablet as an external monitor may want to consider using the following apps:
Air Display
Want to use your new iPad’s crisp, Retina Display as a computer monitor? Air Display is a $9.99 USD application that is available for download in the Apple AppStore.
Air Display
Advertised as being compatible with Mac & Windows computing environments, Air Display is a full featured monitor app that not only adds a monitor to your setup, but also offers a wide range of features that allow for on-screen/touch screen productivity support.
You can draw and input directly on the iPad even when being used in monitor mode. Alternatively, convenience features such as Auto-rotate make this one of the more versatile apps on the list.
DisplayPad
DisplayPad is a one of the more highly reviewed apps that we’ve covered on this list thus far. Currently, it’s available in the AppStore for $2.99 USD.
DisplayPad App
This app of course offers the basic feature of turning an iPad into a secondary monitor. However, it also, notably, offers some other distinctive features also:
• Tap your iPad to click.
• Two finger tap to right click.
• Two finger drag to scroll, just like on a laptop trackpad.
• Rotate the screen and DisplayPad automatically changes the mode of the display.
• Position the display anywhere relative to your desktop, just like an external display.
Thank you for stopping by the site for today’s post, which provides four options for using a tablet or iPad as a monitor. If any of our site visitors have any other apps that they recommend over these, for either iPad or Android based applications, feel free to link to them in the comments section.

Watch blocked videos on Youtube already blocked

All are want to watch a YouTube video that has country restrictions in place? Alternatively, want to watch a YouTube video that is marked with a copyright block? YouTube often times places restrictions on their video content, which is appropriate in some cases; but other times, it may be unneeded. In today’s post, we will review how you can bypass some YouTube restrictions.
YouTube Video Not Available in Country
There are a few ways to do this, and many websites recommend simply using a proxy server to queue a different location in order to bypass country restricted YouTube content. For example, if a YouTube video is restricted in India, you could simply use a proxy to set your IP address to a different country. However, if you have ever used a proxy, you may have experienced that many proxies are a bit slow, making them non-ideal for viewing video content. Alternatively, here’s a fast proxy service.
A better and simpler way to bypass some restricted YouTube content is to use a web browser add-on.
YouTube Unblocker Extension
Start by jumping to the plugin page and installing the plugin just as you would any other browser extension. You may need to restart your browser upon successful install.
This plugin works automatically, so there is little to no configuration needed. Now, when you try to view a restricted YouTube video, you will be presented with the following prompt:
YouTube Unblocker
The plugin automatically initializes when you visit a restricted video and attempts to bypass/unblock the video.
Upon doing some testing with this plugin, I found that it is not perfect, but it does work for many videos, depending what you are trying to unblock. For example, as far as country restricted videos, the plugin does work as advertised and does a nice job. As noted by the plugin’s description, it uses the following method to loophole the country restrictions, which is a better option than a direct proxy:
Unblock Country YouTube Videos Description
However, when browsing some restricted content, the plugin was unable to retrieve the video. For example, some YouTube videos that have been completely removed and that are no longer available could not be retrieved with this plugin.
As far as copyright “temporarily blocked” content and country restricted content, this plugin seems to work fairly okay.
Thank you for stopping by the site for today’s post which offers a method for viewing blocked YouTube content the easy way. If any of our site visitors have any tips regarding other methods for getting around YouTube video restrictions, feel free to leave a comment.

How to format external harddrive to FAT32

Trying to format a large external USB or Firewire hard drive to the FAT32 file system? Can’t do it? Only see an option for formatting the drive using the NTFS file format? Well if you answered yes any of those questions, then you’re at the right place.
I was recently trying to format my 1 TB MyBook external hard drive in Windows XP to FAT32 instead of the overly forced-upon NTFS format. Why? Well because I needed to connect it to a NAS device and the NTFS permissions were causing the NAS not to be able to access the drive. Simple solution is to use FAT32, no security, no problems. Though it’s sometimes useful to format a USB drive in NTFS format. 
Also, formatting a drive in FAT or FAT32 will allow it to be read by other operating systems, such as Mac, Linux, and older versions of Windows such as Windows 98.
Unfortunately, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 will only format a removable drive in FAT32 if it’s less than 32GB! Hmmm…that pretty much cuts out ALL modern external hard drives!
However, Windows can format a drive that is larger than 32GB in FAT32, but you have to use the DOS command prompt. However, if you have a drive that is 1TB or larger, you may still get an error saying “The volume is too big for FAT32”.
In that case, you can use a free program called SwissKnife that will allow you to format an external hard drive that is up to 2TB in size. Let’s go through both methods. In case you are having problems getting your external hard drive to show up in Windows, read my article on how to change the drive letter for an external drive in Windows.

Format external drive in FAT32 using DOS

Open a command window by going to Start, then Run and typing in CMD.
command prompt
Now type in the following command at the prompt:
format /FS:FAT32 X:
Replace the letter X with the letter of your external hard drive in Windows. Windows will go ahead and begin formatting the drive in FAT32!
format external hard drive fat32

Format external hard drive in FAT32 using SwissKnife

SwissKnife is a nifty little program that is completely free and that you can use to format many types of external drives such as USB, Firewire, PCMIA, SATA and SCSI. You can also use it to create partitions on an external hard drive and it formats faster than Windows.

So next time you want to format a hard drive in FAT32 and Windows only gives you an option for NTFS, make sure to follow one of the two method mentioned above. Enjoy!
