Hi, I am going to have a trip to the Great Wall in China with my families. I learned it is needed to use some techniques or tools to access certain services or websites in China. I don’t know if I need to use such a tool or apply the techniques. I think the service I may use while we stay in China is the Picasa service. This is our first time to travel to the mysterious China, I am sure we will have a lot of wonderful pictures or photos to edit and share with our friends with Picasa. So please tell me how to use Picasa in China. Much appreciated!
Picasa is a discontinued image processing service which users can rely on to view, edit and organize digital photos. It is also a convenient tool for users to share wonderful or interesting photos with your families and friends. The tool is integrated with the photo-sharing feature. The application is available for many platforms. Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X of Intel, Linux and Mac OS X 10.4 and later can be used to run Picasa. But for systems of Mac OS X 10.4 and Linux, the Wine , iPhoto plugin and a standalone program are needed to successfully run the application or fully to use its whole features.

It is no doubt that Android devices such as cell phones and tablets of Samsung, LG, Motorola have brought us a lot of convenience and played a very important part in our daily life and work. But unfortunately, the system is not so strong as to be able to protect your phones or tablets from any viruses developed by cyber criminals to attack the devices. The FBI Prism Virus is one of the violent scam viruses programmed by hackers to compromise your android devices.
Well, it is a kind of pornography he watched. I know he was just kidding, but my tablet is now with a FBI warning demanding $500 payment. It seems my information has been stolen and we are accused of watching child porn. I try to delete the warning screen but fail. I am not allowed to even switch off the tablet. It is totally locked up. Is the warning real? How can I get it off my tablet without paying $500?
It is so embarrassed. I know I should not have accessed this website. I know it may contain malware or other threats and damage my Samsung phone……Anyway, can you help me fix this problem? It is an alert saying my phone is locked because of watching porn video and I have to pay a $500 penalty to unlock it. Is it real? Should I pay the $500 penalty? This is the only phone I have, I need to get it fixed now. Please help me! Thanks a lot!
The FBI Prism ransomware blocks victims form using the infected phones or tablets as normal. An nasty alert pops up repeatedly to accuse the user of violating law and require to pay a penalty to fix the problem within a designated period of time. If not paid, the victims are threatened to be put into justice and sentenced to years in prison. This is horrible and some victims really pay the unreal penalty in order to avoid any possible lawsuit. After all, it is an embarrassed issue if it known by any acquaintances. However, what the FBI Prism Virus states in the warning popup is completely fake and false. It is just a trick played by cybercriminals to rib money of the victims. It pretends to be an agency of the law enforcement department to drive the victims into panic and thus make payments as its requirement as fast as they can. The FBI Prism Virus is essentially a ransomware that hacks and locks your Android phones or tablets to make illegal money. Whenever you find it on your devices, it is a wise decision to delete it completely as fast as you can. Read the rest of this post »

Can you use Dropbox in China? Do you know that Dropbox is blocked in China? Is there any way to bypass the censorship and unblock it? In this article, we will talk about how to access Dropbox in China on android.
Dropbox is a personal cloud storage service which allows a group of people share files via the Internet easily though people are not in the same place or country. It is very useful for file sharing and collaboration. However, Dropbox is one of the blocked internet services in China. It is blocked by the Great Firewall of China not because it can trigger off the social misbehavior among the Chinese society. In fact, blocking this application has allowed the local internet cloud to hold a good position in the market
Besides Dropbox, there are many other sites like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. that have been blocked by the Chinese government. Although the government claims that this was done so that there is no ill-effect of these services on the society of the Chinese people, but if you take a closer look, the picture is not about the community but local internet business.

If you travel to China for business or leisure, you will find that many popular and important websites or services can’t be visited fully or partialy from the country. The services are included like Hulu, HBO, USA Network, ABC, BBC iPlayer, Spotify, Deezer, WWE, Star Sports, Sky Italia, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google, Gmail, Telegram, Instagram and so on. According reliable resources, more than 3000 websites or services can’t be directily accessed from Mainland China without taking certain measures. For instance, when you try to visit Netflix by typing its domain into your web browser as usual, you will receive nothing but a repeated message saying “Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet. Enter your email & we’ll let you know when Netflix is available.” If you want to login your Facebook account to share something with your friends or families, “This site can’t be reached” or similar message is the only thing you can receive. What is happening? Why can’t we access so many websites or services from China?
Different websites or services are inaccessible for different particular reasons. The reason why Facebook is blocked in China is reported to have something to do with the riots in Xinjiang 2009. Facebook was blocked because Xinjiang independence activists take advantage of Facebook to prepare the riots. Meanwhile, some people hold that it is, as a matter of fact, because there were a few of users using the website to disclose the passive response of the government in dealing with the riots and the Facebook worked slowly to remove relevant photographs and articles on the website.The response of Facebook was regarded by the Chinese government to be an act of undermining the stability and security of the nation. So the government decided to ban Facebook from being accessed in China with the well-known Great Firewall of China, GFW in short. Apart from Facebook, such websites or services as Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and so on are all blocked for the same reason：government censorship.

Hey. I am looking for a solution for Twitter in China. Though Twitter is blocked in China, I would like to use it because most of my friends use it. I don’t want to fall behind. Can you tell me how to use Twitter in China?
Twitter, as a popular and free social networking microblogging service that has been blocked in China since February 2011. It’s blocked by the Great Firewall of China due to its ability to spread rumors. One of Chinese leader said Twitter, Facebook and Google etc. are and will always be blocked in China because they failed to follow its law and to serve the interests of the people. He said, “We manage the media according to the law. The important thing is that the media, whether it’s foreign or Chinese, they have to fall in the law of China and they have to serve the interests of the people.” “People can spread rumors and bias against China on Twitter which is harmful to development of China. Arab Spring is a very good example how a developing country can be ruined from the uncontrolled misleading information on the internet”, they said. Statements that are considered harmful to Chinese government are blocked from any social media platform.
In this way, social media platform Twitter can’t be accessed from within the so-called Great Firewall of China, a censorship project operated for more than a decade by the Communist Party. This news surely disappointed many Twitter fans in China. Also it brings lots of inconveniences for tourists. That means when they came to China, they won’t be able to access Twitter anymore. But is it really impossible to access Twitter in China? Fortunately, a virtual private network can help achieve this. Read the rest of this post »

Hi, i hope you can help with this problem. I want to watch a TV show on Netflix that I have watched half of its season in USA. But just fail and always send a message saying “Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet. Enter your email & we’ll let you know when Netflix is available.” It is annoying, my Internet connection is good, I am sure there is no problem with my computer and Netflix account. I am in China having a meeting with our business partner. Everything was perfectly good when I was still in USA two days ago. What is happening? Why does it present the error all the time? Can you please help me with it?
Hey, I am from UK and now in China for sightseeing with my families. I am trying to play the BBC iPlayer, but it apparently there is a problem taking place. I can’t get run the service as I could in UK. I have no idea what is going on. I have tried using different devices like my Mac computer, iPhone, even the android phone of my Chinese friend. It is the same problem. Please help me! I am tired and don’t know what to do. Much appreciated!
Geo-restriction or geo-blocking is defined as the practice of a content protection technology to restrict access to different content according to the geographical location of the user. Services or websites with geo-restriction or geo-blocking policy like Netflix are applying certain geolocation techniques to calculate the user’s location. They may have established a database or list against which the user’s IP is checked and identified. The outcome of the check decides which content you are allowed to access and which content you are restricted from reaching.
For example, if your IP is recognized as from China, you are not allowed to access anything on Netflix; you will receive a similar message saying “Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet. Enter your email & we’ll let you know when Netflix is available.” when you try to watch Netflix from China. And in India, it is reported only part of the whole content of Netflix can be accessed by the Indian users. A TV show produced in USA may not be available on India market because of copyright and licensing issue.
Apart from Netflix, many other services or websites are also practicing geo-restriction or geo-blocking to restrict access to their content. Such services as Hulu, HBO, USA Network, ABC, BBC iPlayer, Spotify, Deezer, WWE, Star Sports, Sky Italia, etc. are all included in the list. HBO now is a service that can be accessed only from United States. The service can’t be reached from outside USA because different licensed broadcasters in different countries may replace the original content with their own, similar service to make it more successful or make more profits. Geo-restriction or geo-blocking can be used to restrict access to quality TV shows, movies, music and any other multimedia content on the Internet, filter malicious traffic, enforce price discrimination, etc.

I was wondering if anyone has experience using Popcorn Time here. I got problem in using Popcorn Time here in China. Somehow, I can’t load it. I have no idea what’s going on here. By the way, I could use it on the same device in my country. Now I can’t use Popcorn Time in China. Any suggestion?
Popcorn Time is a platform which streams movies and TV shows from torrents for users. Users can watch various movies and TV shows for free on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android device. The best versions of movie or TV show are available in the catalog. You can have the excellent experience as long as long you have proper internet connection. Some Popcorn Time users say, “It lets you access just about everything on the internet.” It operates very effectively with the help of BitTorrent protocol. You can upload and download large files in an easier way which won’t take much time. Also, Popcorn Time’s story is one of the most fantastic ones. Its team operates without funding. However, it is a great platform with awesome torrent site and media player all in one that allows you to gather up your favorite content and watch it. It has been very popular all over the world.
Unfortunately, Popcorn Time is banned in China. It does not have support for Chinese subtitles at the moment. Like most other sites based around torrenting, Popcorn Time catches a bit of controversy. In some countries like China and United Arab Emirates, Popcorn Time is deemed inappropriate, politically sensitive, or otherwise disruptive to society. If you live in China, the Great Firewall of China will not allow you use it with the public network that all people use to access the Internet. How do servers find out you are living in those countries? The servers can figure out your rough location according to your IP address. When you visit a website, it can read your IP. Therefore, your connection to Popcorn Time is blocked once your Chinese IP is detected. Does that mean it is impossible to use Popcorn Time in China? No. You still can use it in China. However, you need extra help. You need a VPN to help you overcome the Geo-Restrictions. Read the rest of this post »

Please help. My data was encrypted by the Bitcoin virus, I believe. Now all of them have an extra file extension – .crypt, which goes after the original one. I got a note. It says, “All files including videos, photos and documents on your computer are encrypted by Crypto Software. In order to decrypt the files, I have to pay $ 300 worth of bitcoin. What do I do? Is there a way to restore my files? Should I pay $ 300? How to remove the Bitcoin virus? Need your suggestions.
broke out on a Friday and waited to attack thousands of computers on the next Monday. Indeed, lots of computers had been attacked when users turned on their computer to start working. Most of the victims were working in school companies where many computers worked together. It was because that was very convenient for the hackers to spread Bitcoin virus. Once one computer was infected, the other ones would be compromised soon. Besides, files of school and companies are pretty important and worth money. Therefore, that was considered as an effective way to spread virus and collect illegal money. The Bitcoin virus is very nasty. It encrypts your videos, photos, music, document and other important files and demands an amount of $ 300 via bitcoin currency. Do not pay the ransom. You should not trust the criminals. They only care about money. They may just take your money away and leave the files encrypted. The bitcoin virus will stay on your computer and keep encrypt more files you store on it.
