Everybody loves making money, right ? The thing is everybody loves making money the easy way … and making some money online is easy. Izea ( the company behind SocialSpark and Sponsored Tweets ) just launched a new mobile application for iPhones.

 

WeReward.com pays you for check ins and tasks you complete in the real world. It integrates with Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, so you can still get your badges and share the way you always have.

 

What you need is a PayPal account, a Twitter account, a Facebook account, a Foursquare account and of course the iPhone application ( Download the App ). I bet you already have accounts with the services mentioned above

Don’t worry about a blog or a website … you won’t need it. You will earn money in the real world. You will have to complete tasks like taking a photo of yourself eating shushi or drinking a Jones Soda (tasks) or by simply going to a place near by ( checkins ). It’s nice that you can claim tasks from anywhere. Please don’t do it from a public restroom

Here’s a video presentation of WeReward from YouTube:

I’m really wondering why aren’t you downloading the application by now ? oh … you don’t have an iPhone ? Buy one

We all have obsolete gadgets in our home. If they’re TV games, old computers or old laptops we can find a good use for them. The best use for an old laptop I ever saw is this:

Oh … and by the way … if you have old gadgets and you’re planning of doing something like this you probably are a geek. You can see which type of geek you are here

Everybody loves a good night out … a few beers with your friends, a good chat and then … you’re drunk Nothing bad at this (as long as you don’t get drunk every evening) but what happens when you get home ? You try and try to open the door but that damn key just doesn’t want to get in the key lock.
Here’s the solution – The Simple Key Lock –

It’s coming: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. The game will launch worldwide (except China ) on July 27 for the PC and Mac and will retail for $60 in the US. The game will also be available in a deluxe $100 Collector’s Edition that will include a 176 page art book and a flash drive preloaded with the original Starcraft and its Brood War expansion.

 

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty will focus on the human Terran campaign with a 29-mission single-player campaign. However, the multiplayer component will also let gamers wage interstellar real-time strategy warfare as the hivelike Zerg and technologically advanced Protoss factions. Starcraft II is the first new stand-alone game from Blizzard Entertainment since 2004′s World of Warcraft, which has dominated the subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing market.

HP has designed a new architecture within which multiple layers of memristor memory can be stacked on top of each other in a single chip. As a result, the company believes devices incorporating memristor-based chips could hit the market in five years. Such devices would include handheld gadgets offering 10 times greater embedded memory than exists today. In addition, supercomputers could be made “dramatically faster” than what’s predicted in Moore’s law.

 

Moore’s law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, states that the number of transistors placed on an integrated circuit doubles about every two years. The trend has led to dramatic increases in performance at lower energy consumption in each new generation of microprocessor.

 

HP researchers say incorporating the memristor element in chips, rather than shrinking transistors, could lead to faster computers that are more energy efficient. That’s because memristor-based chips require less energy and can store at least twice as much data in the same area as a solid-state drive used today.

 

We anticipate the ability to make more compact and power-efficient computing systems well into the future, even after it is no longer possible to make transistors smaller via the traditional Moore’s law approach

said R. Stanley Williams, senior fellow and director of Information and Quantum Systems Lab at HP, in a statement.

HP’s latest findings were detailed in a paper published this week in the journal Nature.

The title sounds really tempting, right ? Free Domain And One Year Hosting For Only 10 Bucks. Yep, it’s possible. A rebrand of Nexx’s web hosting platform brought a great promotion. You’ll get a free .com domain and 12 months of hosting for only $10.

 

2 … maybe 3 years ago I was using free hosting accounts. I remember I was especially using “post to host” forums. I was getting free hosting in exchange for the posts I was making on their forums. It was ok … but when I started receiving more traffic I had to buy hosting because free hosting accounts had limited bandwidth. I remember that one month I ran out of bandwidth on the 3^rd of the month. My site was down for the rest of the month – 28 days.

 

Right now I am paying $9.80 per year for the domain and $9.90 per month for my hosting account. Now … some math : 12 x 9.90 = 118.8.
118.8 + 9.80 = 128.6. This means I’m paying $128.6 per year just to keep Sava’s Place online. And now I (and you) can get Unlimited Web Hosting for a full year for only $10 and buy some gadgets with the money ( $118.6 ) I’ll spare.

And when I’m saying unlimited web hosting I mean:

• Diskspace: Unlimited
• Bandwidth: Unlimited
• E-mail: Unlimited
• Free Domains: 1
• 24/7 Customer Support

And as a bonus you also receive:

• Google Adwords Credits: $50
• Facebook Ads Credits: $50

Pretty nice, huh ? Right now I’m thinking about the name of the domain I’d get for free and order . What are you waiting for ?

Young talented artist Antoinette Citizen has decorated a normal room to look like the first level from the Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. It contains all the bricks, question marks, coins and boxes that you can find in the real game.

The boxes are in 3D, and the background that would be the room’s walls are pixelated so it looks like you are in the middle of a real Mario game. And the room is installed with sound effects too

And if you’re into game you can also see Pac Man on the streets of New York

When you look at most of the two dozen or so people in this photograph, which belongs to a Canadian museum, there’s no doubt that they’re from 1940, the year in which it was taken. But what about that guy?

Those trendy sunglasses? That T-shirt and hippie shawl? The disinterested expression? He sure as hell doesn’t look like any Roosevelt-era bro. Maybe that’s just it – he looks like a “bro”, which we all know didn’t come into existence until the 1970s.

Forgetomori has an extensive analysis of the photo and the mystery man, and, with some help from members of ATS, points out that no single item of his wardrobe is technically out of period.

But his entire essence, especially in contrast to the sea of fedoras and 1940s enthusiasm around him, screams that he’s from another era entirely.
