Hey guys,

When I access tech sites like engadget.com, theverge.com etc from My Ofice PC it keeps loading and the page is blank.
I can use only IE9, cannot use any other software.
So can anyone help me with sites from which i can read all the news from these sites. The site which i'm looking for should work like flipboard or newsstand etc.

Thanks in advance.

Tried cached site of engadget.com still blank and not loading

Is it the same on all machines on your network? Try accessing it from a colleagues machine and see if it works.

If it still does not open then its possibly blocked via proxy. You will have to try getting another proxy address from your network guy in that case and configuring your browser to use it.

Another option is tunneling, but that depends on what ports are blocked on your network.

ur idea of viewing tech sites every now and then will automatically induce errors to ur work, thereby screwing up ur output and performance review. :p

Can you tell me what exactly the error? Sometimes, this can be solved by Resetting your Internet settings. Worst case scenario is to use another dns.
Correct me guys if Iam wrong.

Can you access reddit? I usually just read the headlines/comments on reddit if all else fails.

The same used to happen in my office on the floor with the ******** project. (Name redacted on purpose)

They require sites to be blocked as per their ODC specifications. Therefore, all sites except Google and a few others were blocked or images were not visible. There was no conventional solution to this until someone discovered that we could use the company VPN which allowed us to access all sites within the proxy rules.

You will have to get friendly with the network guy if you want any solution to this or you could get in touch with your admin team and explain that technology sites serve as news sites and should be allowed. Then that would depend upon their discretion.

Okay. But I can't raise a request ticket.
Here is a reason why.
Even though my daily shuttle service is free, I need to raise request with supervisor tagged who is my team lead every month.

So raising a request for this reason is a unwanted attention from team lead. So time to get all tech site apps back.

Today I got a Newsletter about security and safety mail to update Java. So I raise an incident for the same. The tech support guy took remote access and went to java.com and clicked free download. A ~800KB file saws 1hr to download @ ~50B/sec :shock: I asked him about the same he said some issues with network bandwidth.

Since I will get new environment in few days I didnt want him to fix it. So I will update once I get new PC. :D
