Underground Stations To Give World Cup Scores
World Cup fever is ramping up. Whether you love the game or hate it, there is no getting away from it. The 2014 FIFA World Cup
is here. There are going to many ways to catch the latest goal action
and no doubt you will be seeing the latest football scores plastered all
over the place. But I bet you weren’t expecting to see them on your
regular and routine commute to the office, now were you?
There is going to be no escaping the World Cup at all this summer, even on your way to work! When travelling on the London underground, or the Tube as it is known locally, you will be able to see the latest scores on your platform as you wait for your train to the office.
To supplement the existing network of Virgin Media’s WiFi hotspots, which will allow you check scores on your smartphone, ESPN have linked up with Transport for London to bring scrolling results, score updates and news to platform screens and entrances in more than 140 different stations.
ESPN is said to have provided around £100,000 for the privilege of this media outlet and will kick off things on June 12th, when host country Brazil meet Croatia and then the action will continue until July 14th, the day after the World Cup final is played.
What do you think? Is it a good idea to convey this information to everyone as they wait for the train to and from work? As always, if you would like to leave a sensible comment, then please do so in the comments section below.

How To Keep Your Children Safe Online
The Internet is a place filled with so much knowledge and
entertainment, that you would not be able to come close to seeing even
half of it in your lifetime. Everybody should have access to this
wonderful tool of information, from young ones to older ones alike. A
massive amount of the information available is obviously not age
appropriate for younger ones. How do you keep your children safe online?
With the advent of Internet enabled devices, such as tablets, smartphones and media players that provide a variety of activities and education opportunities for young people, just how important is it to be aware of what these devices are capable of? How you can communicate with your child to assist them in using this technology in both a safe and a positive manner?
Basically it comes down to 3 steps for parents to follow:
1. Understand the capabilities of the technology the child is using. Most, if not all of the devices used today can access the Internet.
2. Understand the possible risks of different online activities and how you as a parent can support your child to be safe online. Such as the ins and outs of social networking, i.e. not meeting up with people they have only met online.
3. Talk with your child about using their device safely and responsibly and agree a set of boundaries, like what websites it is ok and not ok to visit.
There are lots of different things to consider when allowing your child to have access to the Internet. How do I ensure the web content my child sees is appropriate? How can access filtering protocols on my home network? What are Apps? What is social networking? How does Facebook work? What can I do to find out more about Cyber-bullying? How can my child access music, films and TV using their device? What should I do if my child has seen something inappropriate? And so on and so forth.
It all comes down to common sense; you need to work out logically all of the questions you need answers to and then locate that information, before you make your decisions about what to do. Do some research folks!
The following information and websites will give you a good start on where to find information that will be helpful to you as a parent:
For practical advice for keeping your child safe online the NSPCC website is very informative. For parental resources and a myriad of information about keeping your child safe online, Stay Safe Online is a good place to look. Another similar website with lots of information is ikeepsafe.
If you do come across some illegal content, such as images of child abuse, you can report this to the Internet Watch Foundation in the UK or elsewhere in the world at InHope. If you suspect that your child has been the subject of an inappropriate sexual contact you should report this to Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in the UK, and internationally at the virtual global taskforce.
I hope this quick guide has given you a little insight into how to keep your child safe online.

VLC Media Player 2.1.3 (32-bit) free download
Flexibility
VLC plays almost any video or music file format you can find. At its launch this was a revolution compared to the default media players most people were using that often crashed or displayed “codecs missing” error messages when trying to play media files. VLC can play MPEG, AVI, RMBV, FLV, QuickTime, WMV, MP4 and a shed load of other media file formats. For a full list of compatible file formats please click here. Not only can VLC Media Player handle loads of different formats, VLC can also playback partial or incomplete media files so you can preview downloads before they finish.
Easy to Use
VLC’s UI is definitely a case of function over beauty. The basic look does however make the player extremely easy to use. Simply drag and drop files to play or open them using files and folders then use the classic media navigation buttons to play, pause, stop, skip, edit playback speed, change the volume, brightness, etc. A huge variety of skins and customization options mean the standard appearance shouldn’t be enough to prevent you choosing VLC as your default media player.
Advanced Options
Don’t let VLC Media Player’s simple interface fool you, within the playback, audio, video, tools and view tabs are a huge variety of player options. You can play with synchronization settings including a graphic equalizer with multiple pre-sets, overlays, special effects, AtmoLight video effects, audio spatializer and customizable range compression settings. You can even add subtitles to videos by adding the SRT file to the video’s folder.
Summary
VLC Media Player is quite simply the most versatile, stable and high quality free media player available. It has rightly dominated the free media player market for over 10 years now and looks like it may for another 10 years thanks to the constant development and improvement by VideoLAN Org.

How to Turn Your Smartphone into A WiFi Hotspot
if you are like me and use the Internet on a daily basis, then you
need a good strong reliable connection. But what if you are out and
about with your laptop/tablet and there is no WiFi connection? How do
you get online? Don’t panic, as no doubt you will have your phone with
you. The standard mobile phone contract that most people receive with
their handset comprises of Talk-time, SMS allowance and Data. It is
this data allowance and the ability to connect to either a 3G or 4G
network that is going to help get you online when no WiFi is available.
You can set up your smartphone as a WiFi hotspot quite easily. The ability to do this is available on ‘most’ contracted phones. That goes for if you are using an Android phone, an iPhone, a Windows smartphone or a BlackBerry.
All you need to do is look into the settings on your particular device, then set up tethering/personal hotspot. Once this has been done, then just pair and connect your laptop (or other device) to that connection. Got it? No. Then allow me to break things down for you.
If you are using an iPhone, just look for Personal Hotspot in your settings while Android users can find a Tethering or Portable Hotspot in their settings. Windows smartphones use the feature, Internet Sharing. BlackBerry has a Mobile Hotspot Connections option in the network settings.
For the purpose of explanation, I’ll use a connection with an iPhone to elaborate on, but in reality all the basics are pretty much the same. Once your device is in the wi-fi hotspot mode it will then create a network, which can be seen in the list of available networks by the wireless device you’re trying to connect, i.e. your laptop.
iPhone: Settings, Cellular, Personal Hotspot, if Bluetooth isn’t on, iPhone will inform you that Personal Hotspot will only be available over WiFi and USB. It will then ask you if you also want to enable it over Bluetooth as well. You need to connect via Bluetooth or USB cable, as you are not near a WiFi signal. Once you agree to turn on Bluetooth, Personal Hotspot is now discoverable. iPhone will ask you to provide a password of 8 characters. Once you have done this you will now be able to connect with your iPhone, as it will be visible as a network from your laptop. All you need to do is find the network that your phone is called and provide the password you have just created and then connect to the network and use the 3G/4G signal to connect to the Internet. It really is that simple. *Note: If you are an Android user, after you select your phone in this list you will be asked for a password if you have set up password protection. This password will be generated by the smartphone in the hotspot settings.
There are notable advantages and disadvantages to using tethering. The advantages are; It’s convenient and you can use your smartphone anywhere you have a cellular connection. And you can take advantage of the speeds 4G provide, if you have a 4G contract.
The disadvantages are; tethering a device to your smartphone drains your battery a lot faster. There is a risk that you might exceed your monthly data allowance limit if you are not careful. If you have poor signal on your smartphone you will have a poor data signal too.
So there you have it, a quick guide to connecting another device to your smartphone and using it as an Internet connection.
As always, if you would like to leave a sensible comment regarding this how to, then please do so in the comments section below.

How to Follow the FIFA World Cup
In June 2014, Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup. 32 teams will play
each other for the FIFA World Cup trophy and title. Although more than
three million people will attend World Cup matches, most people will
follow the World Cup via TV, online or through clubs and sports bars.
Method 1 of 3: Following the World Cup on TV
-
1Go online to find out what stations will be broadcasting the FIFA World Cup in your country. You can find a listing of stations at www.ipaddressguide.org/watch-fifa-world-cup-2014-online. In the United States, games will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN and Univision.Ad
-
2Ensure you have cable TV access during the World Cup. Games will be aired between June 12 and July 13, but it is recommended that you sign up for TV by June to ensure access.
- Only 10 games, including the final, will be broadcast on ABC in the United States, which may not require a cable subscription. The schedules are available on the ESPN website.[1]
-
3Sign up for a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system if you want to watch all of the World Cup games. Occasionally, World Cup games are broadcast concurrently so that the outcomes cannot be tampered with during group qualifying matches. Recording them will allow you to watch them right after they are broadcast.
-
4Call your local sports bars. Ask who will be broadcasting World Cup games and which ones they plan to broadcast. Large sports bars often have enough TVs to allow at least one to be dedicated to the World Cup between June and July.
- If you like watching soccer games in a bar, you can save money by watching some games on Network television and others at a sports bar. You may want to compare costs of drinks and food at a bar to what a cable subscription will cost.
Method 2 of 3: Following the World Cup Online
-
1Go to FIFA.com. The website for the Federation Internationale de Football Association is the most visited sports website in the world. Go to FIFA.com/worldcup/ to find the latest news stories, bracket information and more.
-
2Download the FIFA app on your smartphone or tablet. It is available on Android and Apple phones. It includes the World Match Centre with information on past, current and future matches.[2]
-
3Follow the World Cup on Twitter. The Twitterverse is excited to be keeping track of games, wins and losses online. Follow accounts like Fox Soccer News, BBC World Cup, AP World Cup, 2014 FIFA World Cup and FIFA World Cup.
- Individual hashtags for teams, games and world cup moments will be used, so follow trending topics to find new hashtags to use and follow.
-
4Check online one week before the World Cup to find links to online match streaming. Streaming the match online may involve using a pirated version of the broadcast and it is likely to cut in and out of availability.[3]
Method 3 of 3: Following the World Cup Via Bracket
-
1Print out a bracket in order to follow World Cup bracket movement at home. You can find a printable bracket at http://www.printyourbrackets.com/images/world-cup.pdf. FIFA also sells a 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil wall chart for $15.
-
2Sign up for a World Cup league. ESPN and other websites allow you and your friends to choose who will win the brackets in advance.
-
3Fill in the team winners through the group round, round of 16, quarterfinals, semi-finals and championship matches.

Microsoft Windows 8 Banned By Chinese Government
In a move that caught Microsoft offguard, the Chinese government has
issued a notice that agencies are to forego purchasing Windows 8 and
installing the software on any new government devices. The notice that
was officially sent out is titled “Agreement to supply information about the class of energy-saving products complement the mandatory tender notice“.
If that reads a little awkward to you, ask Google Translate, as the original page is in Chinese. In any case, the announcement highlights energy-saving products, but Windows 8 is specifically mentioned as item #5: “all computer products are not allowed to install Windows 8 operating system.”
Chinese news outlet Xinhua looks back to the termination of support for Windows XP as a reason for the ban on Windows 8.
In a news report, it says that the move was made to ensure computer security. Apparently, the Chinese government is not confident that Microsoft will continue support for Windows 8 in the future, hence the ban.
It is important to note that the ban is only in effect for government-owned devices. Private consumers are free to purchase whatever OS they want to.
On another note, the ban on Windows 8 seems to be only a part of the government’s strategy. In the same report, Xinhua states that China is going to focus on developing its own operating system, based on Linux. Knowing just how China does not lack for talent in this niche, it is not surprising that they will want to work on their own operating system.
On Microsoft’s part, the company says they were surprised by the announcement, but they also emphasized that they are doing what they can – and will continue to do so – to meet the requirements of the Chinese government in terms of procurement. They also mentioned their ongoing relationship with the government by providing Windows 7 and that they will work with the government to evaluate Windows 8.

It is important to note that the ban is only in effect for government-owned devices. Private consumers are free to purchase whatever OS they want to.
On another note, the ban on Windows 8 seems to be only a part of the government’s strategy. In the same report, Xinhua states that China is going to focus on developing its own operating system, based on Linux. Knowing just how China does not lack for talent in this niche, it is not surprising that they will want to work on their own operating system.
On Microsoft’s part, the company says they were surprised by the announcement, but they also emphasized that they are doing what they can – and will continue to do so – to meet the requirements of the Chinese government in terms of procurement. They also mentioned their ongoing relationship with the government by providing Windows 7 and that they will work with the government to evaluate Windows 8.
