Unconvinced about Vista
Posted by David Meyer
OK, so it's about a month since I installed Vista on my lovely 2GHz Core 2 Duo home laptop, and I can't say I'm unreservedly enthusiastic.Let's start with the look of the thing, which is clearly one of the OS's main drawing points. It does look pleasant - so much so that when I changed the theme to "Windows Classic" in an attempt to get the performance back up, I actually missed the Vista feel and switched back again.The other thing I like about it is the fact that I very rarely hear my laptop whirring anymore. This is fairly important.What I don't like is that it takes longer to start up than XP did, and certainly takes about twice as long as XP to shut down. Hungry games like Oblivion also no longer run as efficiently. What does bump my Oblivion back up to normality is utilising ReadyBoost (pseudo-RAM from an SD card in my case), but frankly that technology doesn't seem to make as much of a difference as it should.(Gamers: please note that I have Oblivion on pretty much the lowest settings. My laptop only has a gig of RAM, but the game ran fine on those settings under XP. It seriously struggles under Vista.)Now, I understand that Vista is the OS we're going to be using for the next few years, and I understand that, while my laptop is new, a gig of RAM is going to be considered pretty weak in a couple of years' time. However, if I was thinking like a consumer here, and if I'd really been expecting "the Wow" to start now, I'd be pretty cheesed off.As it happens, I'm thinking of it a bit more like a tech hack, and taking the long view makes me feel a little less cheated. But thinking that way also makes me wonder when a truly user-friendly version of Linux is going to become available.Not that it will let me play Oblivion...

Group blogs now open to all members
Posted by Karen Friar
Good news--we've made it easier for you to join in our new group blogs. Instead of having to ask me for permission to join in, all members will automatically be able to post an entry to them.Right now, we've got group blogs going in three targeted areas: Vista Upgrade Blog, Sentry Posts (security management) and the freshly launched On the Road (mobile working). Think of them as places where you can gather and exchange chat--like getting together with friends in your usual spot down the local. Here's Matt Loney's take on them:"A group blog is a very simple idea: it is a place where you can blog on a specific subject alongside your peers. It's a place where you know your posts will attract the eyes of your peers, and where you can be part of what we hope will be a vibrant blog without worrying that you must post every day to maintain a steam of content."All you have to do to post into a group blog is to create an entry, then tick the appropriate box when it pops up under the preview screen. If you don't already have an account, it's the work of minutes to create one--just go here.For those who need an incentive, this week we're giving away tickets to the npower cricket test between England and the West Indies for the best entries in the Vista Upgrade Blog. Check out the details.

Vista 30 Days After Install
Posted by {fatgadget}
Below is an article I published on my own blog (www.gadgettastic.com) about a week ago, with my experience in updgrading to Vista.Its exactly 30 days since I installed Vista on my PC, I have to say I was a little nervous about doing it at first. I downloaded the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Advisor and ran it, everything seemed to go ok and the report showed only a few minor software issues, so I decided to go for it.I scoured the web for information on Vista after reading many articles and tips I decided to buy Vista Home Premium 32 Bit edition, I managed to get myself an OEM copy from Microdirect for about £74 including the VAT & Delivery.It arrived the next day, I had already backed up all my data, so I decided to do a clean install, I booted my PC, ran the interactive setup, formatted the PC’s hard drive and began the install. It took about 30 minutes, I rebooted and was ready for the usual problems that you get with a fresh install of XP, I have to say I was more than a little surprised, all my hardware was there and everything seemed ok. Here’s the spec of my PC, nothing spectacular:-Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.20 GHzMotherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9-RH Socket 939Memory: Corsair Value Select 3GB DDR PC3200 (3 x 1GB)Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon X1650 Pro 265MB DDR3Hard Drive: 250GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 Sata 2 Hard DriveDVD Drive: Lite-on DRW-6S160P-05C DVD RW DriveWhat’s the catch I thought to myself; it can’t be this easy can it? I was expecting some error messages to pop up on my desktop, after about 5 minutes of playing around with Vista I realised this wasn’t going to happen.Surely it’s bound to go wrong when I install all my software, I thought to myself, so I went about installing my programs. After about an hour and a half I pretty much had everything I use installed, my email was working, I was able to browse the web, my antivirus was installed, so was my firewall, and the few games I play seemed to be working fine, and all the Vista updates (there weren’t many) were downloaded and installed.I have to say I was impressed, normally a complete clean install of XP takes a good 3+ hours to get everything setup just how I like it, for a complete clean install Vista is great. its simple, its quick, its painless, as long as you use the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Advisor first to make sure you have no major hardware compatibility issues.I have now got used to the new look and features of Vista, I love the Aero interface, and the glass effects, it looks and feels great to use, my favourite bit has to be the new Windows Sidebar, there are some great gadgets on the web to download to it from rss readers to media gadgets.Another cool feature is the Instant Search, this allows you to search your PC for files, and other items, it’s so much better than the search function in XP, easier to use, and fast very fast, it also provides some nice advanced features.There is a bunch of new security features as well, from the new User Account Control (which can be a little annoying from time to time but you learn to live with it), to the updated Windows Security Centre, to the Windows Defender. It a pretty comprehensive package and a huge improvement over XP. Combine this with a few decent free security programs from around the web ( I will talk about these later on in more detail) and you have a pretty secure PC, now I am not saying its 100% secure, but it is a serious improvement over XP.In conclusion, I am glad I made the move to Vista, it was a pretty painless process, I have now got used to all its features, its fun and simple to use, very user friendly and has a bunch of cool stuff that make my computing experience better.If I had to go back to using XP on my main machine I don’t think I could, there are too many new things that I would miss.Read my other articles at www.gadgettastic.com

Scott Boulch I stumbled onto the ClickFlipping idea a few months ago. Now, I earn over $50,000 a month with my proven system.
Recently, I set the internet marketing world on fire with my free reports, “The Death Of Adsense” and “Life After Adsense”. But hey, somebody had to speak the truth!
I created this private Life After Adsense group for anybody who’s ready to discover a proven path to online success.
Between the three of us, we’ll lay out a trail of bread crumbs that you can follow to create your own internet empire. I don’t care if you’re a total rookie… I don’t care if you think you have to be a geek to make money on the internet. We’ll break down everything step-by-step and hold you by the hand.
I’ll tell you more about the private group in a minute but first I must ask you…
Would You Trade A $1 Dollar Bill For A $100 Bill?
If I was standing on the corner asking for $1 bills and giving $100 bills in return, I’m willing to bet you’d stand there all day jamming dollar bills into my hands and joyfully pocketing $100 bills in return.
You’ve got a similar opportunity right here. ClickFlipping is really just trading pennies for nickels, nickels for dimes, dimes for dollars.
In fact, here’s the ClickFlipping System…
In A NutShell!
Ready? Here it is: “Buy Traffic Cheap… And Then Sell It For Much, Much More”
You see, that’s what the Adsense people don’t understand. They shoot themselves in the foot by selling their traffic for pennies and nickels.
But if you’re ready for Life After Adsense, then I invite you join our private group and begin your new life as a professional ClickFlipper.
Rookies, Newbies & Amateurs Welcome Here
Remember, I taught Julie the ClickFlipping system and she didn’t know anything at all about internet marketing, Adsense or even building a website.
So…
• If you don’t know how to buy traffic on the cheap… don’t worry. We’ll walk you through it
• If you don’t know how to create a website… just relax. We’ll teach you how
• If you don’t know how to pick a market… don’t sweat it. We’ll reveal how to choose a profitable market
• If you don’t know how to sell your traffic for top dollar… fuggettaboutit! We’ll map out exactly what to do and when to do it.
Of course, if you’ve already got some internet marketing experience, consider yourself on the fast track. You’ll be able to skip ahead and find the information you need to make ClickFlipping profitable for you.
Here’s a small sample of what you’re about to discover:
Members Of The Life After Adsense™ Private Group Will Discover…
Why buying your traffic is actually less expensive than trying to find free traffic! (This alone could save you years of pain, suffering… and lost profits)
How to purchase clicks at a mere fraction of what everybody else pays… even if you’re a pay-per-click rookie
Website Optimization Secrets: Little changes that can explode your income
How to legally steal profits from moronic Adsense publishers
How to find “profit pathways” that you can milk for consistent gains, month after month
How to build your first website from scratch… in just one evening
The shocking reason why some people make a fortune from Pay-Per-Click marketing… while others lose their shirts. Here’s how to make sure every penny you spend on advertising comes back to you with a bunch of friends
How to create a five figure monthly income without risking any more than $200 of your own money
Make your traffic work harder! We’ll reveal at least three different ways to sell your traffic and make much, much more money than your typical Adsense junkie
A sneaky trick you can use to negotiate higher payouts for your traffic. Your costs stay the same but your profits increase exponentially!
How to sell your traffic with affiliate marketing: Somebody else does all the work… you get half the profits.
Little-known ways to find profitable Clickbank vendors eager to buy your traffic
How to move up the internet marketing food chain and stop selling your traffic for peanuts!
And much, much more…
Here’s What You’ll Get
Although John, Nana and myself cannot physically drive over to your home, stand over your shoulder and teach you the Life After Adsense strategies, we’ve done the next best thing:
We’ve put together a step-by-step plan that you can follow along with and use to create your own ClickFlipping empire.
This is connect-the-dots. These are the same steps that I taught Julie. She followed the program and now she’s making $15,000 a month.
Now, you’ve got the same opportunity. We’re giving you special Camtasia videos that clearly illustrate everything from registering your first domain name to building Profit Pathways.
Plus the very same spreadsheets, resources and tools I used myself when developing the ClickFlipping system. Not to mention…
A private forum reserved for Life After Adsense members only
Monthly teleconferences where we’ll answer common questions, reveal new strategies and discuss cutting-edge techniques you can use to make your profit pathways even more profitable
New tips, techniques, strategies and advice added every month
Here’s What We Expect From You
If you’re ready to begin your Life After Adsense, there are a few conditions you must agree to:
#1) We will show you exactly what to do. But nobody will do the work for you.
Believe it or not, some people think there’s a “secret trick” to making five figures (or more) a month. We will lay out a crystal clear plan for you to follow. If you’ve got questions, we’ll do our best to answer them as fast as possible. But we’re not going to do the work for you.
#2) The strategies and techniques we discuss in the private Life After Adsense group are considered confidential and you are NOT to share them with anyone outside the group.
If we find out that you are leaking information (and believe me, it’s not hard to find a leak) you will be banned from the group. Period.
I May Have Priced This Too Low…
To be honest, it was tough coming up with a fair price for my exclusive Life After Adsense Private Group.
After all, I’m offering to reveal the same system that earns me over $50,000 a month. The same proven system that earns Julie over $15,000 a month.
And let’s not forget, hundreds of people are paying a thousand dollars up front to be part of my private ClickFlipping coaching group.
On the other hand, I really do want to make this accessible to people just like Julie: People who don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on training but are willing to learn and willing to put the time in so that they too can create profit pathways.
With One Click, Your Membership Pays For Itself…
While Adsense suckers sell their clicks for a few cents, Life After Adsense members will learn how to sell their traffic for much, much more.
For example, many affiliate offers pay $50 bucks (and up) per sale. And many Cost-Per-Action offers pay fifty, seventy… some even up to $180 bucks per lead!
So I decided to keep the price so low that you could literally recoup your investment with just one click.
On that basis, I’ve set the monthly investment for the private Life After Adsense members group at just $49.
You could literally recoup your investment with just one click. Yet this tiny sum opens the door to a proven system that I myself use to earn $50,000 a month.
Start Your Life After Adsense Today
I don’t know how many members we will accept. It all depends on how much work John, Nana and myself can handle. We’re only human.
So this page may not be up for long. Why take the chance? This price is ridiculously cheap… heck even a crappy Adsense ebook will set you back more than fifty bucks.
And if you’re not happy you can cancel your monthly subscription at any time. If you do cancel, we will award your spot to anyone on a waiting list and you will not be allowed to rejoin.
But knowing what we’ve got in store for you, I doubt anyone who’s seriously interested in becoming a professional ClickFlipper will be canceling.
A Glimpse Into The Future
In the next 12 months, you could have hundreds of Profit Pathways set up. Each one quietly humming along, spitting out cash like an ATM. And since you don’t depend on free traffic, you have no fear. You can go out of town and rest easy knowing that each of your Profit Pathways is churning out profits… even while you’re away.

Believe it or not, some people think there’s a “secret trick” to making five figures (or more) a month. We will lay out a crystal clear plan for you to follow. If you’ve got questions, we’ll do our best to answer them as fast as possible. But we’re not going to do the work for you.
#2) The strategies and techniques we discuss in the private Life After Adsense group are considered confidential and you are NOT to share them with anyone outside the group.
If we find out that you are leaking information (and believe me, it’s not hard to find a leak) you will be banned from the group. Period.
I May Have Priced This Too Low…
To be honest, it was tough coming up with a fair price for my exclusive Life After Adsense Private Group.
After all, I’m offering to reveal the same system that earns me over $50,000 a month. The same proven system that earns Julie over $15,000 a month.
And let’s not forget, hundreds of people are paying a thousand dollars up front to be part of my private ClickFlipping coaching group.
On the other hand, I really do want to make this accessible to people just like Julie: People who don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on training but are willing to learn and willing to put the time in so that they too can create profit pathways.
With One Click, Your Membership Pays For Itself…
While Adsense suckers sell their clicks for a few cents, Life After Adsense members will learn how to sell their traffic for much, much more.
For example, many affiliate offers pay $50 bucks (and up) per sale. And many Cost-Per-Action offers pay fifty, seventy… some even up to $180 bucks per lead!
So I decided to keep the price so low that you could literally recoup your investment with just one click.
On that basis, I’ve set the monthly investment for the private Life After Adsense members group at just $49.
You could literally recoup your investment with just one click. Yet this tiny sum opens the door to a proven system that I myself use to earn $50,000 a month.
Start Your Life After Adsense Today
I don’t know how many members we will accept. It all depends on how much work John, Nana and myself can handle. We’re only human.
So this page may not be up for long. Why take the chance? This price is ridiculously cheap… heck even a crappy Adsense ebook will set you back more than fifty bucks.
And if you’re not happy you can cancel your monthly subscription at any time. If you do cancel, we will award your spot to anyone on a waiting list and you will not be allowed to rejoin.
But knowing what we’ve got in store for you, I doubt anyone who’s seriously interested in becoming a professional ClickFlipper will be canceling.
A Glimpse Into The Future
In the next 12 months, you could have hundreds of Profit Pathways set up. Each one quietly humming along, spitting out cash like an ATM. And since you don’t depend on free traffic, you have no fear. You can go out of town and rest easy knowing that each of your Profit Pathways is churning out profits… even while you’re away.

Strengths of Open Source opposing Microsoft patent threats
Recently, two actions by Microsoft seriously called the attention of the open source community. One is the strange alliance with Novell and another is the unproven statement that GNU/Linux infringes on 235 Microsoft patents. Although the community has the feeling that these actions are outrageous and illegal, it does not know how best to deal with them, since in the U.S. one has to spend much money in order to respond to unfounded statements by anyone, especially when the opponent is very wealthy.I have the impression that open source to challenge it in a justice court is exactly what Microsoft desires, so we should not get into this dangerous and expensive game.Therefore, I propose another game, in which the open source is strong where Microsoft is weak. Let us organize an event, where we place two large tables in a convention room. At the head of one table, one places a server hardware running Windows Server 2007 prepared as a thin client server with well-known applications: MS Office, Adobe suite, Interne Explorer 7, Outlook, for example. At the head of the other table, one places the same server hardware running a GNU/Linux distribution (RedHat or Ubuntu Server) prepared as thin client server with open-source applications such as OpenOffice, the Gimp, Firefox, Evolution etc. Along the tables, as many client PCs as possible are connected as thin clients, so that all sorts of people would run applications on the servers simultaneously, trying to overload the corresponding server with their input. On the wall there will be a projection showing how many applications are open on the server, and how they are loaded, like htop on GNU/Linux, so the surrounding people and journalists can see, and document, the load changes, the memory load, etc. in real time. It would be more fun if external users be allowed to log in to those servers and participate in the effort to use intensively the applications.My contention is that the Windows server can take less load from thin clients because the applications cannot handle many users, while the open source applications are able to handle many simultaneous users without crashing. For this reason, if many users open MS Word on their terminals, the server has to launch many copies of the application thus filling memory and going for the swap space sooner, eventually going to thrashing mode. I remember that this kind of test was done before, but never in public, side by side. This test will be entertaining if the important people of both sides show up, address the public in keynotes, and exchange ideas about the ongoing contest. The objective is to show for all to see how lean and mean GNU/Linux is as compared to Windows, and demonstrate that they are so different that GNU/Linux cannot be infringing so many patents and behave so differently. It is impossible to describe such differences with words, so we need a great, visible show. I guess people would like to buy stuff there, and there would be less waste of time and money than in a courtroom.

The Wait Is Over
Even though I now make well over $50,000 a month as a professional “Click Flipper”, (Click Here To See Proof) I still recall what it was like when I first started out.
I remember…
Pinning all my hopes on “this month’s guru” hoping that he would finally be the one to teach me how to connect the pieces and earn a fortune online. Guess how that worked out…
Working into the wee hours of the night… but never really knowing with any certainty if all the work I was doing was ever going to pay off. 99% of the time I saw no return for all my efforts…
Wishing somebody would just clear away all the B.S. and show me exactly what steps to take in order to be a successful internet entrepreneur. “Wishing” is never a good strategy…
Luckily, after much trial & error, I finally cracked the code and developed a proven way for anyone to make money online. My ClickFlipping system literally allows anyone to turn pennies into nickels, nickels into dimes and dimes into dollars.
Truth is, I had no plans to tell anyone about my breakthrough discovery. But…
Then She Showed Up
Julie was a corporate recruiter here in Texas. We’d been friends and had been through a lot together.
She stopped by one day and asked what I was up to. So naturally I started to tell her about my ClickFlipping system.
I try not to talk about it too much because I don’t want to send “non-internet people” to snoozeville, but when she found out how much I was making she asked…
“Can You Teach Me?”
At first, I didn’t think it was even possible. I mean she knew nothing… absolutely nothing about making money on the internet. I would literally have to start from ground zero and teach her the basics, like how to register a domain name and set up her first website.
But I realized that if I could teach her, I could help hundreds of other beginning internet marketers. So I accepted the challenge.
I’ll let Julie tell you what happened…
My Story: Confessions Of A Total Rookie
By Julie W. Dallas TX
When I first talked to Scott about making money online, I didn’t know anything about internet marketing. Adwords? Affilates? Adsense? I had no idea about any of this stuff.
But Scott made it easy. He laid out a simple step-by-step plan for me to follow. “Do this… then this… then this….”
It was exactly what I needed. I wanted to get profitable… and fast. I didn’t want to learn 100 different ways to make money online. I just needed someone to take me by the hand and show me one proven system to making money online.
You see, I was sick of the corporate gig. Sick of commuting. And sick of trading my life for a measly paycheck.
Things Are Different Now
I started off slow… turning $200 into $500. And never looked back. During my second month as a full-time ClickFlipper I made $15,494.44… and I gave birth to my first child.
I’m not very aggressive about this. I’m pretty much a part-timer. And I’m still making five-figures a month.
Odds are, anyone interested in internet marketing probably knows much more than I did when I started. So if I can make money as a “rookie ClickFlipper”... you can too.

The Guru’s Are Lying To You…
I know this is going to piss some people off but I don’t care. It needs to be said.
Many (not all, but quite a few) of the “gurus” out there are lying to you. They are keeping you in the dark… on purpose. And the strategy behind the lies is pathetic.
Here’s the deal:
If you’ve ever bought a system or an e-book from an internet marketing “guru” before, you probably noticed one thing: That is, they only give you a piece of the puzzle.
For example…
• They’ll tell you how to increase your traffic… but not how to properly monetize the traffic. Result: You leave money on the table
• They’ll tell you how increase sales… but not how to get more traffic. Result: You leave more money the table
• They’ll reveal some of their online strategies… but they never tell you all the steps you need to duplicate their success. Result: You end up more confused than ever!
Why don’t they tell you everything? Simple. It’s because as long as you’re still confused…
You’re Forced To Keep Buying Their Stuff!
Think about it this way:
Many of these “gurus” are actually just “map salesman”. They try to sell you “maps” to the promised land. In this case the promised land is the place where you’re actually making a healthy monthly income from your efforts.
If they gave you the complete picture, you’d only need one map. But as long as you’re lost and confused… you’re forced to buy new maps all the time. And every time you buy another map, you’re hoping that this will be the time it all makes sense.
But it never does.
I’m sick of it. And I bet you are too. That’s why…I’m Putting A Stop To All The Confusion. Right Here. Right Now.
Here’s the deal:
I earn over $50,000 a month with my ClickFlipping system. But I needed to see if I could duplicate my success and teach others how to do what I do. Specifically, I needed to find out if I could teach a raw rookie with no internet marketing experience whatsoever how to make money online.
And I did just that when I took Julie W. from zero to over $15,000 a month in just a few short weeks.
Here’s why this matters to you:
If I was the only person making money with ClickFlipping, you could call it a “fluke”. But since I taught ClickFlipping to a raw rookie and now she’s making money too, we’ve got a pattern. A proven, repeatable system that anyone can learn.
Here’s why this is important to you:
ClickFlipping is now a proven system. No, it’s not proven because I say it is. It’s proven because it not only works for me… but for beginners too.
That’s the definition of a proven system: It works no matter who is at the helm.
So not only do we have ClickFlipping, a system proven to transform pennies into nickels, nickels into dimes and dimes into dollars. We’ve also got a proven method to teach this system to beginners.
And now for the first time, I’m officially announcing the grand opening of the…

Using your Content Managed website for Google Adsense advertsGoogle Adsense allows you to place context-sensitive advertising on your website. Google Adsense are adverts that automatically adjust to the content of your web page.
To our way of thinking they are the very best (or least worst) type of internet advertising, Google Adsense adverts are simple text or graphical adverts which are relevant to the content of the web page you are looking at.
An example of Adsense context-sensitive adverts
An exampleLet's imagine you have a page about your favourite car. The Google Adsense adverts showing on that page will relate to the content of that specific page. So it may show Adsense adverts from companies selling car insurance, or accessories or perhaps new cars.
The advertisers pay Google every time someone clicks on their advert, regardless of whether they make a sale. If someone clicks on an adsense advert showing on one of your web pages, you take a slice of the revenue.
The good news is that you don't have to lift a finger. The adverts are delivered automatically by Google right into your web page. Google takes a snapshot of your web pages every couple of days, and Google chooses the adverts depending on the content of Google's snapshot (cached page).
How much do you have to pay Google?Nothing. Simple. It's free. Just sign up with Google Adsense and after Google have reviewed the content of your website to make sure it fits within their guidelines, you can be up and running in a few days.
What's the best way to make money from Google Adsense?Just get people to your site by providing interesting, accurate and relevant information. Make the content of each web page showing Google Adsense adverts as specific as possible, that way the advertising will be clearly targetted and you will achieve more "click throughs", each click through generates income for you.
How much do I get when someone clicks on an advert?That all depends on the content of your web page. When companies want to show their adverts on Google and Google's content network (which includes your website), they bid for keywords and key phrases. Some keywords are cheap because no one wants them. A company can show their advert on Google for only 5p a click if they choose to show it on web pages discussing "hippopotami". But how many people sell hippopotami?
Choosing a subject such as mortgages or pensions, and many others, can result in an income of several pounds every time someone clicks on a Google Adsense advert.
Are all websites suitable for Google Adsense adverts?No. There are a lot of things that will prevent Google from "crawling" your web pages. If Google cannot crawl your pages Adsense will show public service adverts (PSA), for which you will not get paid. Some of the things that make a website unsuitable for Adsense are:
Frames or Iframes (inline frames) Database driven content Javascript links Text generated by javascript Flash - Google cannot read the text if it is rendered in Macromedia Flash Text rendered as graphics URLs with querystringsHow can I maintain my website content quickly and be sure my website is compatible with Google Adsense?That's where we come in. 123Live is simply a very, very easy way to edit and publish your website using just Internet Explorer. And it published your web pages as bog-standard, regular HTML that is fully compatible with Google Adsense. This also means that your website will be quick to load and be a joy for your users to navigate

Experts Exchange and Paid SubscriptionsPosted by topazg
Well, having eaten all the pies and drunk all the wine, I guess Christmas / New Year is well and truly over - as always, it was fun whilst it lasted.
Anyway, back to techie things, I've noticed that Experts Exchange is beta testing a new skin / site layout. On the whole, besides the now well known desire to "glassify" everything, I actually really like the improvements. It seems the pages load a bit slower which is disappointing, but there is more information on offer and it is presented cleanly and easy enough to find your way around.
However, I do notice to my amusement a whole section on gaming. Not many questions in there yet, but I wonder if it will be possible to be labelled a bone-fide MMORPG Guru by Expert Certification. Wouldn't that look good on a CV!
Anyway, light heartedness aside, I noticed Amazon users have reviewed the site (I thought they just reviewed stuff Amazon sold ??) and have given it an enormous drilling for being so "money-orientated". What is it with the modern internet culture that people just think everything should be free? I had a quick go on answering some questions the other day and picked up 2600 points in the day -- that's some 25% the way to a full membership, thus giving me full access for free. If you don't know enough to contribute, you need to support the service in some way, and I can't see why that is unreasonable. Server space is not free, bandwidth is not free, staff moderation time is not free, so why should the service be?
I have built (with a colleague) a turn-based Go site (http://www.online-go.com) which is encountering the same problem. It's great fun to write, fun to play on, great community building up, but it is beginning to be quite a financial strain. The only option is to have memberships (with obvious bonus perks) to support the running of the site - I'd love to offer it for free but my hosts don't want to offer it to me for free, so what do I do?
Personally, I'd rather pay for a service than use it for free and be bombarded with "Free Smilies" and "You are the 1,000,000 visitor" ads, and other wildly annoying popups (even from corporations like IBM?!) that often get plastered everywhere.
For example, I really enjoy ZDNet.co.uk, but as I write I have a "sponsored link" advertised below to "100% Free Gay Teen Dating" (http://www.boy18.co.uk - probably NSFW, I didn't check) -- I have nothing against Gay Teen Dating but why is that next to a tech blog on a tech site? Where exactly is the relevance?
Anyway, am I the only one that feels that users should be prepared for those services that we find to be useful?
“It Was A Busy Month For This Rookie ClickFlipper: I Gave Birth To My First Child… And Made $15,459.44”– Julie W. Dallas TX
UPDATE: “I didn’t work much during the next month either (a screaming newborn saps your energy)…but my income swelled to $17,756.34”
(Dateline: Addison, Texas)A Personal Message From Scott “Nada-Guru” Boulch
You’re about to discover one of the best kept secrets on the internet:
I call it, “Life After Adsense”.
While most rookies would kill to make a couple hundred bucks with Adsense, there are scores of every day people (just like you) quietly earning five-figure monthly incomes.
And today, for the first time ever, I’m going to reveal how even a raw rookie can break free from the swamp of promotional B.S. and actually start making real money from your online efforts.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a “techie” who just needs some direction or a rookie who doesn’t know anything at all about internet marketing.
You’re in the right place.
The emails are pouring in. And everybody’s asking the same question…

Frames or Iframes (inline frames) Database driven content Javascript links Text generated by javascript Flash - Google cannot read the text if it is rendered in Macromedia Flash Text rendered as graphics URLs with querystringsHow can I maintain my website content quickly and be sure my website is compatible with Google Adsense?That's where we come in. 123Live is simply a very, very easy way to edit and publish your website using just Internet Explorer. And it published your web pages as bog-standard, regular HTML that is fully compatible with Google Adsense. This also means that your website will be quick to load and be a joy for your users to navigate

Experts Exchange and Paid SubscriptionsPosted by topazg
Well, having eaten all the pies and drunk all the wine, I guess Christmas / New Year is well and truly over - as always, it was fun whilst it lasted.
Anyway, back to techie things, I've noticed that Experts Exchange is beta testing a new skin / site layout. On the whole, besides the now well known desire to "glassify" everything, I actually really like the improvements. It seems the pages load a bit slower which is disappointing, but there is more information on offer and it is presented cleanly and easy enough to find your way around.
However, I do notice to my amusement a whole section on gaming. Not many questions in there yet, but I wonder if it will be possible to be labelled a bone-fide MMORPG Guru by Expert Certification. Wouldn't that look good on a CV!
Anyway, light heartedness aside, I noticed Amazon users have reviewed the site (I thought they just reviewed stuff Amazon sold ??) and have given it an enormous drilling for being so "money-orientated". What is it with the modern internet culture that people just think everything should be free? I had a quick go on answering some questions the other day and picked up 2600 points in the day -- that's some 25% the way to a full membership, thus giving me full access for free. If you don't know enough to contribute, you need to support the service in some way, and I can't see why that is unreasonable. Server space is not free, bandwidth is not free, staff moderation time is not free, so why should the service be?
I have built (with a colleague) a turn-based Go site (http://www.online-go.com) which is encountering the same problem. It's great fun to write, fun to play on, great community building up, but it is beginning to be quite a financial strain. The only option is to have memberships (with obvious bonus perks) to support the running of the site - I'd love to offer it for free but my hosts don't want to offer it to me for free, so what do I do?
Personally, I'd rather pay for a service than use it for free and be bombarded with "Free Smilies" and "You are the 1,000,000 visitor" ads, and other wildly annoying popups (even from corporations like IBM?!) that often get plastered everywhere.
For example, I really enjoy ZDNet.co.uk, but as I write I have a "sponsored link" advertised below to "100% Free Gay Teen Dating" (http://www.boy18.co.uk - probably NSFW, I didn't check) -- I have nothing against Gay Teen Dating but why is that next to a tech blog on a tech site? Where exactly is the relevance?
Anyway, am I the only one that feels that users should be prepared for those services that we find to be useful?
“It Was A Busy Month For This Rookie ClickFlipper: I Gave Birth To My First Child… And Made $15,459.44”– Julie W. Dallas TX
UPDATE: “I didn’t work much during the next month either (a screaming newborn saps your energy)…but my income swelled to $17,756.34”
(Dateline: Addison, Texas)A Personal Message From Scott “Nada-Guru” Boulch
You’re about to discover one of the best kept secrets on the internet:
I call it, “Life After Adsense”.
While most rookies would kill to make a couple hundred bucks with Adsense, there are scores of every day people (just like you) quietly earning five-figure monthly incomes.
And today, for the first time ever, I’m going to reveal how even a raw rookie can break free from the swamp of promotional B.S. and actually start making real money from your online efforts.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a “techie” who just needs some direction or a rookie who doesn’t know anything at all about internet marketing.
You’re in the right place.
The emails are pouring in. And everybody’s asking the same question…
