Qtrax Review
Qtrax is a brand new service that is planning to revolutionize the music industry. It allows you to download the songs that you want for free, but it comes with a twist. All the songs have DRM (digital rights management) on them, and to make things even worse, you will only be able to play the music using the Qtrax software. Say goodbye the use of any portable media player, or separate music management programs.
They support themselves and the free use of the copyrighted songs by filling up their service with advertisements. This will in turn generate a whole lot of revenue (depending on the amount of users), allowing them to easily pay off the major studios.
Personally, I don’t find it that appealing due to the fact that I’m willing to pay 15 dollars a month for the use of an unlimited amount of songs. It’s even less appealing because my iPod is something that is very important to me, and something that I use often. What’s even more is the fact that you can already easily listen to songs online through YouTube and plenty other services. The only noticeable difference is the fact that you can make libraries of songs, but the advertisements don’t make it worth the hassle. This service definitely has a long way to go, but it’s a good start and something you should definitely keep your eye on.
rssHugger
This is a sponsored review, please keep that in note.
rssHugger is a one a of a kind site and I’m not just saying that because of its awesome name. This website strives to bring both bloggers and readers together. It allows bloggers to easily promote themselves by having rssHugger build them backlinks for search engine optimization, send them traffic, and also bring in new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the readers. It is an interesting site, and one you should definitely think of checking out.
Woot Review
Woot is a site that I have been using for some time now. They have a new deal everyday and the items go fast! Woot sells products at incredibly low prices, sometimes the lowest around. They have one item per day, and their shipping is very generous; 1-3 items will only cost you five dollars in shipping (for the package, not for each one). They don’t allow you to buy more than that so don’t be expecting to buy the items in bulk to make a huge profit. That’s another thing, their prices are so good that sometimes they beat out eBay. Because of this, if you are unhappy with your product or want to make some quick cash (although the turnover rate probably isn’t that high), you can go sell them.
Woot-Off
If there are some orange flashing lights on the front page it means that you have stumbled upon a Woot-Off. Usually if an item sells out, another one isn’t available until the following day, however a Woot-Off changes all the rules. In this mode, a new product is instantly replaced after the previous one has sold out. If a product doesn’t sell out, the life of it is only 12 hours instead of 24. Woot likes to build suspense, so like with everything they do, you won’t know how much of that product is left. This is something that only happens every once or twice a month, so when it does happen, be sure to take a look.
Why do people buy domains?
There are many reasons why people buy domain names. It is however for the most part split into two sections, and both of them can make you money (if that is what you’re looking for). The first is for personal or company use on a website, while the second is for domain resell or parking.
Website
Now there are plenty of ways to make money off of a website. You can create a one of a kind site that draws people and therefore by putting ads on it you can make large profits. The other option is to develop a site (ads or not) that becomes extremely popular and then sell it as a package of the content, the domain, and the network of users.
You can also just use it as a personal way to express yourself or your interests if it isn’t profit that your looking for, but just a way to spend your extra time.
What Is Domain Parking?
WHAT?
In a nutshell, domain parking is basically a way of generating revenue from your unused domain names.
HOW?
Domain parking services generate revenue for you by filling up your site with advertisements that are relevant to the title of your domain name. This can of course be changed to maximize profit, because certain keywords such as insurance and data recovery offer more money per click.
Blu-ray vs. HD DVD
Update: HD DVD is dead following Toshiba’s announcement to stop support for the format.
HD DVD or Blue-ray? That is truly the question…
Is it worth your investment; is there really a big difference? The war for the disc of the next generation has now been going on for over two and a half years with still no winner! Here is what you should know before taking the plunge for either.
HD DVD:
Positives
- HD DVD players can fit easily into your price range, get one at Amazon for $129.99.
- All players will upscale your current DVD library to 1080i.
- Mail in rebate for five free HD DVD movies.
- All current players are future proof (will play all HD DVD to come).
Four Influential Buying Factors
There are four major things that help determine the worth of an item or service. These include brand, timing, prior use, and location.
BRAND:
As an example, let’s say that I am buying a new television. Now sure, the obvious choice would be Panasonic or Samsung. These are the televisions you grew up with; they are what make you feel safe. But there are so many other choices these days, we live in a new decade. There are new companies such as LG that are making televisions as good or better; and you know what, in same cases cheaper. Just because you’ve constantly heard of a particular brand, or it’s what the majority of your friends have, doesn’t mean that is necessarily what you should buy. Make sure you do research on other brands, because there are always reviews online and you might find that the brand you hadn’t heard of has way better reviews than the one you are familiar with
