Movie : The Forbidden Kingdom

The Forbidden Kingdom (Coming Soon)

Coming Soon Movie ...... Looks like an interesting movie to me

In "Forbidden Kingdom," American teenager Jason (Michael Angarano), who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kungfu classics, finds an antique Chinese staff in a pawn shop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King (Jet Li). With the lost relic in hand, Jason unexpectedly finds himself transported back to ancient China.

There, he meets the drunken kungfu master, Lu Yan (Jackie Chan); an enigmatic and skillful Silent Monk (Jet Li); and a vengeance-bent kungfu beauty, Golden Sparrow (Crystal Liu Yi Fei), who lead him on his quest to return the staff to its rightful owner, the Monkey King - imprisoned in stone by the evil Jade Warlord (Collin Chou) for five hundred years. Along the way, while attempting to outmaneuver scores of Jade Warriors, Cult Killers and the deadly White Hair Demoness, Ni Chang (Li Bing Bing), Jason learns about honor, loyalty and friendship, and the true meaning of kungfu, and thus frees himself.

My Top 10 Firefox Themes

My Top 10 Firefox Themes

For those of you who are tired and boring of default plain gray theme of Firefox , there are a few things you can do to change the looks of your Firefox browser, making it more interesting. Just go to Firefox Add-on site, then look out for "themes" section. Themes are like new clothes for your Firefox. A theme can change only a few colors, or every piece of Firefox's appearance. It's another great way to personalize Firefox to your tastes.

I've installed all of them. When i got bored of current theme, I will change it to another. I usually stick with current theme only for a week, then I changed to a new one.

1) Aero Fox

This is a dark theme using Aero style buttons and icons. It is largely based on Aquatint Dark theme but uses some features from Abstract Classic and Cobalt Firefox.

2) Tinseltown

Tinseltown is a Christmas theme with holiday imagery including Christmas lights, snow, reindeer, presents and more. This theme is made eve better with great Christmas icons from Watiworks and a semi-transparent URL bar. Get in the holiday spirit!

Tinseltown, the holiday theme, works on Mac, Window and Linux for all to enjoy!

3) MidnightFox
MidnightFox is a dark theme with brightly colored buttons. The idea is to try and create a dark, yet usable, Firefox theme. This theme IS NOT finished. If you don't like dark themes, don't download.



4) SoccerFox SVG - A theme for Soccer/football fans.



5) ToonSkin - A violet and grey cartoon theme for your favorite browser.


6) TrafficFox - A Firefox theme with road signs.


7) iPox Aqua

Firefox theme with shinny blues and whites.

iPox Aqua is a spin off of iPox. This version includes bright blue buttons, background and other slight modifications to bring a big more to the original iPox theme.

8) PinkHope
PinkHope is a Firefox theme for Breast Cancer awareness. It's very pink and is one way you can help spread awareness at home, school or work without saying a word. The bright colors and pink ribbon are enough to let anyone know the cause.

9) Vista-aero - The most IE7-like theme with Vista Aero style!


10) Blue Ice - A crisp, simple ice blue theme...

Actually there are a lot more. To view all available themes and which Firefox's version the theme supported, visit Themes Section at Firefox Add-ons.

Fake Paypal : Update Your Account

Fake Paypal : Update Your Account

In my previous post, I wrote about Greetings from Paypal..then couple hours that when I was checking my mail I got another e-mail entitled "Paypal - Update Your Account".

Here's what the message looks like :-


How Do I Know It Was A Fake?

Well, it is simple, when I mouse over on "Click here to verify your information", you will notice the URL at the bottom of the browser is completely different from Original Paypal address which is " https://www.paypal.com/ " . It indicate that when you click that statement it will redirect you to http://www.bulacademy.com/pp/ . Look at the screen shot below :-

Make Money With Ads4Dough

Make Money With Ads4Dough


Before this, I wrote about Making money with Aloha-ads, now I would like to introduce another new advertising network where publishers and advertisers can both earn money and sales, Ads4Dough. Ads4dough offers some of the best payouts with lightning fast commission payments. They have some of the highest trained affiliate managers in the business.

Publishers
-Publishers will be provide with tons of unique and exclusive deals. Minimum payout of $50 a month and payment is check by default. However, you can contact them if you would be interested in receiving payment via Paypal.
- Publishers can also earn lots of money by referring people to this network. You will earn 2% of their commission for each affiliate that signs up under your link, once they are approved.

Advertisers
-Will get high volume of quality traffic with detailed, state of the art tracking capability. (That's what they said).

They also got an incentive program which I believe it's hard to achieved with this new advertising network.Incentive is as follow for each month:-
Generate Earn
$25,000 - $50 Gift Card
$50,000 - $100 Gift Card
$75,000 - $200 Gift Card
$100,000 - $500 Gift Card

Huhu, $25, 0000 a month? That's absurd and impossible to achieve except for John Chow and a few others that really successful in this arena..Besides, this is only a new advertising network.

But, if you would like to join them, here's the link : http://www.ads4dough.com/

Leave Comment On Blogger Using OpenID

Leave Comment On Blogger Using OpenID

Do you know, now you are able to allow your readers/visitors to use OpenID to leave a comment. For those who still do not know what is OpenID, OpenID is a decentralized single sign-on system. That means, this system will only need users to register their username and password once, and that username and password can be used at any websites that support this system.OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption among large sites, with organizations like AOL and Orange acting as a provider.

As far as I know from my reading at Wikipedia, this system is fully functional in Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and a few other sites like Wordpress, AOL/AIM, LiveJournal and SixApart.You can see and view the full list of OpenID usage at OpenID Servers.

Just want you to know, this new system and feature is currently in testing phase and if you bloggers would like to giveit a try, just login to Blogger in Draft and then go to your blog Settings. Under comment tab, choose "Registered Users - includes OpenID" option. ( under Who Can Comment section ). Save Settings and you're done !

Aloha-Ads is a no-hassle way for both publishers and advertisers to boost revenue and traffic. Their flexible system is easy to setup and gives you total control over every aspect involved.

First Impression

The design of the site is simple with green glossy color as a theme. There's still have many improvement to be made, like adding "About us" section and "FAQ" section but they do have support forum. They also do not have "Referral" as a part of promotion since they're still new..I also do not know what is the look of the ads, is it look like Widgetbucks, is it like Chitika, who knows...

Payment?

For the payment they wrote "Paypal supported", that means that you dont have to wait for a cheque to come through in the post, or wait until the funds are transferred to your bank account. I always like to join an ad network that pays via PayPal.

Windows Vista SP 1 : What Do You Expect?

Windows Vista SP 1 : What Do You Expect?

Are You Vista users? Good because the first release candidate of Windows Vista Service Pack 1(SP 1) will be available within just a few days. So what do you expect from this release?

The goal of Windows Vista SP1 is to address key feedback Microsoft has received from its customers without regressing application compatibility. Windows Vista SP1 will deliver improvements and enhancements to existing features that significantly impact customers, but it does not deliver substantial new operating system features. For example, the service pack improves the performance of the desktop shell, but does not include a new version of Windows® Media Center.

The updates in Windows Vista SP1 fall into three categories, Quality improvements, Improvements to the administration experience, and Support for emerging hardware and standards.

Some of the updates and improvements are:-

· SP1 addresses issues many of the most common causes of crashes and hangs in Windows Vista, as reported by Windows Error Reporting. These include issues relating to Windows Calendar, Windows Media Player, and a number of drivers included with Windows Vista.

· Adds support for exFAT, a new file system supporting larger overall capacity and larger files, which will be used in Flash memory storage and consumer devices.

· Enhances support for high density drives by adding new icons and labels that will identify HD-DVD and Blu-ray Drives as high density drives.

· Improves power consumption and battery life.

· Improves the speed of adding and extracting files to and from a compressed (zipped) folder.

· Improves the speed of copying files, folders, and other media.

· Improves startup and resume times when using ReadyBoost.

· Users can control which volumes the disk defragmenter runs on.
