What is VPN (source: Wikipedia)
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network and the resources contained in the network across public networks like the Internet. It enables a host computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were a private network with all the functionality, security and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two.

Recently Google Books have been launched on Google Play in India.

Switch accounts on Google Play. And you would finally see the world.

Dear Loyal Follower, I feel so privileged to have you 😀
Thanks for the link to the MTV website too. I will check it out and give my feedback. Spotify is awesome as you can listen to any song on the planet.. and not just the top charts. Thanks for the praise. This tells me that I haven’t written any post in a long time. I think my firm is keeping me preoccupied. Hehe. Keep rocking and Stay awesome. I hope you enjoy Ubuntu as much as I do.
