If you look around on Google, or ask your friend, you will surely get a lot of answers regarding how to find out what's your computer's IP. Well, instead of opening a certain site just to get your IP adress displayed, there's something much easier to do, and this action can also provide you much more information...


As you can see above, it's all about typing a command in the Windows command prompt, but let's take this step by step, shall we?

1. Press the Windows key+R, or open the Start menu and choose Run

2. Type in "command" to bring forward the command prompt

3. Now, type "ipconfig /all" and press Enter to get the info you need (and some extras)

4. Notice your IP adress, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and the rest of the information provided by this command

Note: if you need to know your network card's MAC, then you should know this is also displayed by the command mentioned here, as "Physical Address."

Oh, just one more thing - I know I displayed my IP address in the screenshot, but don't waste your time to play funny tricks on me, because I don't have a fixed IP...

I don't want to start a discussion that will surely turn into a flame, so I won't tell you anything related to the opinion I have about communism. There's only one thing about it to keep in mind today - the red color. I am sure the image below says it all, in fact it may even ruin the surprise, but this is only for you. I am sure if you go to a friend and show him this, he will be surprised, so let's see how can we "paint" this Easter Egg, shall we?


There are only a few easy steps to follow. The only things you need are a computer(even a mobile phone may work), a connection to the Internet, and a Web browser. OK...

1. Open Google.com in your browser

2. Type in "google communist"(without the quotation marks) in the input text box

3. Now, click on the "I'm feeling lucky" button

4. Enjoy the result and the effect it has on your friend!

Since Easter is close for a lot of people, I thought that giving you an Easter Egg can't be a bad idea. In fact, you don't even have to celebrate Easter these days, since the egg I am going to give you isn't quite related to the Christian celebration. In fact, it's about "a hidden message or feature in an application," known as an Easter Egg. Ooook...so let's reveal Notepad's dark secret, shall we?


The screenshot above doesn't look right, don't you think? Well, some may consider this a bug, and not an Easter Egg, and they may even be right, but let's not fight over this, and see what happened...

1. Open Notepad.

2. Type "bush hid the facts"

3. Save the file, it doesn't really matter what file name are you going to use

4. Open the file again and contemplate the result...

Leaving the conspiracy theories aside, the US president doesn't have anything to do with this. In fact, you could try using something like "cats eat the mouse," and the result will be the same.

Pretty interesting, don't you think?

Today's Safari trick is an easy one, but I am sure a lot of users can't find their way around with it, because there are a lot of people out there who really don't know how to set a certain page as their browser's homepage, no matter the Web browser they are using. Anyway, today we're talking about Safari, so here we go...

1. Open Safari, and load the page you want to use as homepage from now on


2. Press Ctrl+, (or open the Edit menu and choose Preferences, if you want to make it slow)


3. In the General area, press the Set to Current Page button.


That's it!

As one last stop before the review scheduled for tomorrow, I have to share one quick Safari tip with you, related to the Bookmarks Bar. Here's the scenario - you open one site, then another, maybe even a third one, and then you want to open a few others from the Bookmarks Bar, but remaining in the current tab. Got it?


The idea is to keep the current tab active, while opening new ones. Normally, if you have opened a certain number of tabs, when you click on a site in the Bookmarks Bar, the site opens in the current tab, closing the one you were watching already. Today, I will show you how to keep the current site around, while opening additional ones in the background, all with just the touch of a key!

Here's the golden trick - while you click on the site in the Bookmarks Bar, hold the Ctrl key pressed! That's all, and I must confess this is quite a time saver for me. I hope it's going to serve you well, too!
