Facebook ‘Like’ (Previously Fan) Pages: Annoying

Facebook IconSo when I’m using Facebook, like any other Facebooker i like to ‘Like’ pages that amuse me or seem interesting, however I want to be the person deciding what i ‘Like’ and ignore on Facebook, however i find it extremely annoying when there is a fan page with an interesting name which peaks my curiosity, however to see this page i would have to ‘Like’ it first, then be redirected to some 3rd party website and to top it off, have some full page nag popup telling me i have to do a survey to get access or whatever.

This means that what should take me 10 seconds (click, look, acknowledge and laugh if applicable) takes me a fair few minutes instead, and on top of that i have also lost the power to control what i ‘Like’ because it becomes mandatory to view content.

Anyways, upon searching the internet a few weeks ago i stumbled across some useful Browser Bookmarks that can help with the whole problem, they are:

Bypass mandatory ‘Like’ on Facebook – Simulates ‘Like’ on a “‘Like’ to view content” type page.

Full page advert overlay remover – Removes the annoying “do a survey” nag screens.

To use these links, simply save them as Bookmarks / Favorites, then when on a Facebook fan page that requires you to like it to view content, simply click on the bookmark to run the code to show the hidden content.

If a page give you a link to view an image or something at a 3rd party site after you click ‘Like’, and that 3rd party site gives you the “Do a Survey” popup, you can click the Full page advert overlay remover to get to the real page which is obstructed by the “Do a Survey”.

Windows Reinstall

Well ive finally finished setting up my new Windows installation, i had a few problems on the way, but atleast i know how to fix them now.

When doing some system tasks such as saving my display settings or running some programs, my mouse would lag out (cursor would slow down and jump about a bit), its not really a big issue, but it was annoying, now before my reinstall i never had this problem, so i couldnt figure out why, so i added every possible Windows tweak i could, but nothing seemed to work.

Then today i was playing some games, completely unrelated, and i had just installed Unreal Tournament 3, but whenever i ran it, it would crash after the splash video, so i did some googling and eventually installed “AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4″ as i have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200 processor, this made the game work, and it fixed my mouse lag problem, sod’s law eh?

Anyways my current system specs are:

Operating system: Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit)
Graphics card: nVidia 9800 GT+ 1GB (with most recent BETA drivers)
Motherboard: ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 (V2.0) (with most recent nVidia chipset BETA drivers)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200 @ 2.44GHz (overclocked)
DirectX: 10.00

Here is a little tour video because i like making videos :) : Show
