17 Beautiful Blogger Black Templates
Black is beautiful and some bloggers just like to use beautiful blogger templates in their websites. One of the disadvantages of using black xml templates is that it is sometimes difficult for site visitors to read the content of your site. Nevertheless, I have been using a black theme in this site and people still seem to continue reading my posts 
I have been looking for a template for blogger that I can use in my blogger supreme blog these past few days and I have found several dark but awesome black blogger templates. Here are some of the free to use black blogger beta templates that I have found online. Some of these blogger xml templates may not be all dark or black but headers and sidebars are in dark colors.

Why Google Changed its Favicon
Google has recently changed its big G favicon 
into a blue (or is it purple?) colored small letter g. The question is why. I searched on the web and found these probable answers:
- Google maybe wants to be known as the little g and not the big G. Google is perhaps exercising one of its self proclaimed core values “Think and act like an underdog“. At least through its favicon.
- The new google favicon is perhaps an effort to prove Google’s search engine infinity. Read more about this in this article: Google Change Its Favicon.
- The change in favicon might just be a company business trick for Google to attract more people (and perhaps more revenue earning opportunities?). Read Google changed favicon Big G to small g.
Honestly, I believe google changed its favicon for no reason at all. The new favicon is stripping google with an iconic identity (I almost thought I was on a phising site when I first saw the new google icon while checking my adsense account). Maybe the people at google just got tired of the old favicon and changed it to something new. Most bloggers do that with their own site favicons too.

Prepaid wireless broadband from Smart
Smart has introduced another wireless broadband service to Fiipinos who are gradually becoming dependent on internet access, SmartBro Prepaid. SmartBro Prepaid is a lot similar to the smart plug and surf only that Smartbro prepaid does not have monthly fees. The rate for using this wireless prepaid broadband service is P10 per 30 minutes of internet use.
The Smart broadband prepaid kit costs PhP 4500 and is inclusive of one and a half hour worth of internet access load. I believe that this also comes with the Smart BRO USB modem which will be used to plug into the laptop’s USB port to connect to the world wide web. Reloading can also be reportedly done by buying credits from smart load retailers. Speed is reportedly up to 384 kbps in areas with 3G coverages.
Smart claims this can be used nationwide but I wonder if this smart prepaid wireless broadband will work if I go to the boondocks. I mean will the broadband work in areas without 3G coverages? I still need to get out of the house to call when I go to some remote places in the provinces that I go to sometimes. I wonder if I can use the prepaid broadband in those areas.

Downloading Youtube Videos
Videos posted on youtube takes some time to load. This especially applies to popular videos and highly seached videos like “mririan” that may be too slow to buffer. This might be the reason why many people are looking for ways to watch youtube videos more conveniently in their computer by searching for a free youtube downloader online. There are also copyrighted videos that are uploaded but will inevitably be deleted in the video sharing website so many find it convenient to download the youtube video while it is still available.
How to download youtube videos
Fortunately, there are youtube downloading softwares that claim to make it easier to download videos from youtube. A free software from Biennesoft, for example, allows users to download from sites like youtube and use this as a convert the video to whatever format they like. This youtube converter can then convert the videos into formats compatible with iPhone, iPod and similar devices. Youtube downloading sites like downloadyoutubevideos.com, on the other hand, merely requires the url of the video and provides a downlink to saving your file. It however requires that you have an installed FLV video player to save youtube videos.
If you are a voracious youtube or zootube video downloader though, your computer might need more Memory to store all your video contents.
