3 Best FREE Services Not Worth Spending

free-courses-and-movies

I am one of the advocates of the cliche, "The best things in life are free." While this may sound stupid or something (think about Lamborghini or Hermes bag which obviously you can never get for free), I know that this is not quite bad. Try these stuff first and you can thank me later.

1. FREE Education at Harvard, MIT, Princeton University, etc.

With the advent of technology, everything's possible with the power of internet. With no limits, no hocus-pocus, no scam or something, everyone can study short courses for FREE with a simple touch of a button.

No, this is not your ordinary school. And when I say "not ordinary", I'm talking about schools like Harvard, Georgia Tech, MIT, Princeton University and many others. 

Coursera is the new name of the game. Here you can find short courses like Arts, Music, Mathematics, Programming, Science, you name it! You will simply register at www.coursera.org, provide basic information and you can browse all the FREE courses ranging from 2 weeks to 12 weeks.

Choose courses that you like and you can enroll as many as you want!

The time needed for these courses vary from 10 hours to 20 hours per week - you decide on your choice. The medium of instruction is very simple. The professors will provide instructional videos for the discussion (which you can download) and will also give assignment every week.

You have to complete all the assignments and pass on time for you to pass the course. What's more interesting is that some courses offers certificates of course completion. Not bad for a free course, right? Just visit the website www.coursera.org for more info.

2. FREE Internet using VPN

While others are struggling to pay their internet bills, some are browsing the Internet for FREE at their fingertips! I found out about this really cool stuff when I was a bit broke and couldn't help myself but download movies and watch videos on Youtube.


I Googled, "Free Internet" and then I learned Free Browsing Technique (FBT). I was really amazed and it's really powerful that I could even download High Definition (HD) videos for FREE! How's that for free, huh!? Here's how you can do it. Thank (or hate) me later whatever happens.


Things needed:
a. Computer (laptop or desktop)
b. USB Modem for Internet Connectivity (i.e. Globe Tattoo, SmartBro, or any brand)
c. Prepaid Sim Card - Smart or Globe only (to be attached on the USB dongle)


How:

a. Insert the Prepaid Sim on the USB dongle.
b. Reload credits on your Sim card.
b.1. For Smart users (Philippines), load at least Php 2.00
b.2. For Globe users, No Load is needed :)
c. Activate your GPRS to start browsing the internet.
c.1. For Smart, type "SET" and send to "211". Follow instructions thereafter.
c.2. For Globe, key in "GO" and send to "2951"
d. Configure your USB Modem. Read more here for the tutorial.
e. Register at Symbianize and download the Virtual Private Network (VPN) here. (courtesy of www.Symbianize.com)
f. After download, right-click on the icon and click "Run as Admin"
g. Click "Yes" when a window pops up and continue. Now the icon must appear below on the tray. If not, VPN is not properly installed.
h. On your dashboard (Globe Tattoo or SmartBro), click "Connect"
i. If it's already connected, right-click on the VPN icon and click "Connect".
j. If the VPN icon turns green, you are successfully connected. If it's red, it is not connected yet so try reconnecting.
k. That's it! For more information and tutorial about this gig, visit www.symbianize.com

Note: If you are interested, enjoy reading the tutorial thread in Symbianize. Otherwise, buy a postpaid plan instead :)


3. FREE BlueRay Rip (BRRIP) Movies



In addition to the Free internet in Item 2, here's another fun stuff that you can have to have a Two-Punch Combination of your freebies (just like what I did).

When you are not contented with the quality of movies the Cinema offers, itching your ass to sit and watch the movie again and when you want to see a movie in your room with your family or friends using your LazyBoy chair, then you can download that movie for FREE and have it seen on your Samsung SmartTV with a Dolby Digital surround.

How's that for a Home Theatre? Not that bad. Well call it piracy. But I do believe that there are times when you find the comfort of watching movies at home than screeching tires going to the Cinema. 

For FREE movies, you must register at Symbianize for you to download all the great FREEbies - ebooks, mp3, movies, software, portable programs and all the digital stuffs the world can offer.


(Click here for BRRip Movies) Symbianize is a forum site for all sorts of things. Absolutely FREE! For me this is the most important forum that I know and I couldn't live without it. Try heading to the site and search for "movies" and there you have it. FREEBIES all the way...
