The server's security certificate is not yet valid

I Turned on my computer, my machine stopped booting and I was prompted with a check sum error. I ignored the error and pressed F1 then waited until my machine finished booting. Went to Google logged in and got the red screen that says "The server's security certificate is not yet valid". Why? The reason is because my date and time is set way back in January 1, 2006. When I tried to log in at Google, it saw that I am someone in the past trying to access the server in the present and because of this, I was denied access. I changed my date setting...

Has anyone ever experienced this? I opened Chrome and logged in to Yahoo and everything is fine after some time, I decided to clear my cache as I am experiencing some slow down with my browsing. This action would cause me to re-login to everything from google to facebook and yahoo. But for some reason all the others do not have problem logging me in except for yahoo. Once my cache is cleared, it gives the Invalid ID or password message. No matter what I do (even using the full Yahoo ID) does not work. Even using other browsers so I am guessing...

Nokia N97 mini as a modem

You guys know by now my problem with my current ISP with its ZTE MF 180 3G USB modem (as explain in detail here). In my last update on that post, I said things are already getting better but I was wrong. That is why I have to find some ways to connect to the internet without always getting disconnected.

Autoconnect your USB 3G Modem

How to register your SmartBro to UNLISURF before it automatically connect to the internet.

Use your phone to register for a promo. I have found it annoying that Smart's Broadband plug-it using ZTE's MF180 USB modem automatically connecting even before you could register your precious load to their UNLISURF promo. I mean, what is with this interface anyway with so limited options you can set. Not even to turn off auto connect when the modem is inserted to the USB port. And if you are like me who could not follow the way to change the interface, then your fifteen pesos is automatically charged and you can only use it for a few minutes...

SmartBro promos also available on your mobile

For months I have been using my buddy SIM to browse the internet through my mobile phone. But the promos of Smart Buddy and SmartBro are different. For Buddy, although it is unlimited surfing also, there is a data limit. That if the download limit is reached your subscription automatically stops even if there are still time remaining on the promo you have availed. SmartBro on the other hand does not have a data limit so no matter how much data was downloaded. This, however, needs a little minor adjustment, that is to change the APN to "smartbro"...

Smart Bro always disconnecting

Problem: Smart Bro keeps disconnecting Brief History: A few weeks ago, I have purchased Smart's Starter Kit (STARTER Plug-It). I choose this against Globe's Tatto because  I am constantly moving between two homes about 40 Km apart and on one of them, I can only get signal from Smart and not from Globe even if it is only Edge. At least browsing is still possible with my mobile using an Edge connection.        These kits have about 120 hours (about 5 days) of free internet out of the box. During those period,...
