It’s been a month since we shared the best tech stories from the blogosphere. Here’s some interesting stuff from our fans and friends!

The PC Geek Blog shares a workaround to access US specific services like Pandora and Hulu – no it’s not about using Tor or similar tools – just install Opera, turn on the Turbo mode and voila! Those sites open without a glitch.

PC Tonic blog covers a Chrome addon that adds an option to the right click menu to let you reload broken images quickly. You can do that pretty easily in Firefox because you have an option by default but if you’re a Chrome user, do check out this addon.

The ToThePC blog has a nice write up on adding a startup password to Google Chrome – after installing an addon they’ve mentioned, you’ll  be asked to key in a password every time you start Google Chrome so you can be sure no one else is accessing your online accounts.

Techie Buzz has a neat how to on opening .DB files – these days a lot of apps use SQLite, so this could come in handy some day. And the Guiding Tech blog has a comprehensive list of video editing tools.

Nirmal takes a look at Metro UI like theme for Windows 7 that’ll blow you away. Also if you have a Nexus One, BlogsDNA shows you how you can manually update to Android 2.3.4.

    You’re welcome. I’ve had that broken image problem before and was wondering why Chrome didn’t have such an option by default. Good tip :)
