Cool River Cruises for Bloggers

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Avalon Waterways. All opinions are 100% mine.


If you are a blogger like me searching for a new visionary Suite Ship to relax on your vacation, then look no further since www.avalonwaterways.com is here. Avalon Waterways river cruise is the most enjoyable & hassle-free way to discover & explore the sights. See for yourself the live Avalon PanoramaSM and explore the Front and center on the homepage. By navigating on the site, you will be able to take a 3D Ship Tour, interact with the Open-Air BalconySM, view a photo gallery and see fleet-wide amenities offered by Avalon. Isn't that amazing view? I was impressed by the view offered through the Open-Air Balcony. This is one of the most scenic features offered by the cruise, as it is almost always open. No matter what the condition of the weather is on the outside, you will find total enjoyment in the Panorama Suite all through the day. The suite can hold large parties of 100 guests as they are on an average over 30% larger than other traditional suites. I also cant stop blogging about the Avalon Wall-to-Wall Panoramic Windows that makes you feel that you are in an outer space or a parallel universe like the one in the Jet Li's movie 'The One'. You could literally post all the pics you have clicked right from your childhood on the single floor-to-ceiling, Wall-to-Wall Panorama Window. They also have Polaroid in case you don't have a scanner for your childhood pics! Avalon cruise is the first ship that has more suites available than any other competition. After all they are the largest manufacturers of ships in Europe since the last decade. Now you can request a free cruise brochure to get away from the hustle & bustle of busy highways, great rivers flow through beautiful landscapes. So hurry up and save up to $1,500 per couple on select 2011 River Cruise Deals and more.

How to make money by uploading files

Have you heard of websites that allow Internet users to upload files and earn money every time their file is downloaded by someone? There were actually quite a lot of these file-sharing websites offering this service. But because the pay is too low that many people become not interested on them.

However, there is a file-sharing website which I recently come across worth mentioning. The site is called Share Cash. Share Cash offers the users who upload files $0.20 to $0.60 per download. That's $200 to $600 per 1,000 download. The pay rate is very much higher than most other file-sharing sites which usually offer only $1 to $3 per thousand download. If you have interesting files to share with people on the Internet, why not share them through this site and earn more cash for each download of your file.

How to Begin?
You need to become a member of Share Cash to upload files. Registration is fast and easy. All you need to do is fill out the short form at http://sharecash.org/register.php and then you can proceed to upload your files.

To get good amount of download, you should upload something that many people will be interested to see. You'll want to share your file with as many Internet users as possible to maximize your earning. So, some marketing works are needed. You might try to post about it in related forums, invite your friends in social networking communities to download your file..... All these can add your download up and so as your earning. You can read more about tips of getting download at http://sharecash.org/tips.php.

How to get Free 5,000 miles from Spirit Airlines

Simply register here for an easy 5,000 miles. If you have not yet signed up for the program, do so, then register. Miles will be posted to your FREE SPIRIT account within 45 days of registration. Each FREE SPIRIT account can only register and receive one 5,000 mile bonus. Please note all registrations must be completed prior to 6/30/2010.

FREE SPIRIT Miles will expire when an account becomes inactive for a period of 6 months or more.

However, miles can be kept alive with one purchase per month on their credit card. This program appears to be truely for frequent flyers on Spirit Airlines only.

How to use iPhone as wireless modem for iPad

Should you go for a 3G enabled version of the iPad or should you stick with a Wi-Fi only model? This is one question that has been asked several times by our readers over the past few weeks.

While a 3G enabled version of the iPad can help you connect to the internet on-the-move, the drawback is definitely the price. The iPad 3G + Wi-Fi version costs an additional $130 over the Wi-Fi only model. Also, users who have subscribed to an AT&T data plan have to pay an additional $15 or $30 per month for 3G access.


If you are one of those readers facing this dilemma, here is a nifty trick that will enable your iPad Wi-Fi only model to access internet over an iPhone's 3G data network. The benefits are two-fold in that you save not just on the additional $130 to enable 3G on your iPad, but also on the monthly data plan charges that iPad users need to pay the network carrier for 3G access.

This is possible with the help of the MyWi app for jailbroken iPhones. Developed by Intelliborn, this iPhone application is easily one of the best solutions available to transform an iPhone into a wireless modem and consequently enable wireless tethering over the device. The only downside is that MyWi is available on Cydia for $9.99, but is worth it based on the benefits mentioned earlier. Setting up the application on a jailbroken iPhone is pretty simple. You may follow our tutorial for step by step guide by clicking here. Though quite obvious, please note that even though iPad Wi-Fi+3G users have paid the additional cost for 3G, they can also use MyWi jailbreak app to save on the monthly costs, if they already own an iPhone.

While this is without doubt a great alternative for iPad Wi-Fi users who do not have 3G access, we must warn you of a few potential consequences though. Firstly, Apple has cautioned users against jailbreaking their iPhone and could void its warranty. Also, unreasonably high data consumption over your iPhone 3G network could get you in trouble with your carrier. Lastly, do note that the MyWi app runs in the background, which could drain your iPhone battery pretty quickly.

Nevertheless, if you already have a jailbroken iPhone and give it a try, do let us know how it goes.

Using iPad SIM with an iPhone


We found a simple hack to use an iPad SIM with an iPhone. You won’t be able to use the iPhone as a phone, but the relatively cheap $29.99 for unlimited Internet was his goal. He used an old plastic gift card to cut out an adapter for the iPad’s micro SIM so that it will fit into the iPhone’s SIM cradle as seen above. From there he used a web service via the WiFi connection to enter “Broadband” as a custom APN.

Unlimited and reliable hosting for a large scale blog

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nexx Inc. All opinions are 100% mine.

I consider a blog in the category of "large scale" if it has more than 1000 posts. My blog still has around 650 posts now and is a medium scale blog. I have been using the free blogger platform for a while but according to the SEO experts, its recommended to move to a powerful and reliable and Unlimited Web Hosting platform if you own a large scale blog. As I have been reviewing several hosting platforms, there is one platform that caught my eyes recently. In fact, I stumbled across Nexx while I was searching for tips for choosing a domain, and then, their blog lead me to this discovery. I was glad to find out that their hosting packages support several Web Hosts like Joomla and Wordpress.

Make money building websites for iPhones and Backberries

iPhones and Blackberries are big business. Most people have one or the other, and people are always looking to upgrade their cell phone, or maybe get a Blackberry instead. That means there is a huge market available to you to tap into if you have the right website in place to do it with. While you will need a certain amount of knowledge to be able to do it right, you don’t need anything majorly impressive to stand a chance of making a decent amount of cash from this particular opportunity.
Just remember that above all, people need phones and Blackberries…

What do you do when you are thinking about changing your cell phone? The chances are you do what a lot of other people do: you hop online and surf round for a while to read some reviews of cell phones. After that you might even buy one online too.
This is where you can come in as a source of that information. If you can construct a website that reviews and compares cell phones as well as offering them for sale, you can make a lot of money without even handling the phones themselves.

This is basically a chance to make some money from affiliate marketing. The first step is to sign up with a site like Commission Junction. There are hundreds of companies on this site that sell cell phones, Blackberries and accessories, and they are only too willing to give you a share of the revenue generated by any customers you send them.

Once you are signed up with Commission Junction all you need to do is apply to several of these companies. Acceptance is usually straightforward and you can then use text links and banners and everything else they provide on your own website.
Speaking of which, you will need to either design it yourself or get a web designer to do it for you. Keep the design simple though – it’s the information here that matters. You do need to make sure your site looks professional though, since it will make a difference to your sales if it looks too basic.

Don’t launch the site until you have several phone reviews on it, and be sure to say others are being added all the time. Create some kind of template so all the reviews take on the same look and feel. This will make it easier for people to compare phones. You could also write an article comparing cell phones to Blackberries and giving the advantages of each.

The idea is that on every page you will have links to the websites that actually sell the phones and Blackberries. Ideally you should use text links within the writing, so for example the word ‘Blackberry’ would be a clickable link to the website that sells them.

You can also create pages which cover additional supplies for cell phones and Blackberries, such as cases and straps for example. Once you have searched around on Commission Junction for a while you will probably find a number of products that would fit well with your site as a whole.
The real key to success here is to make sure your own site has worthwhile content on it. You don’t want it to appear like a website which has simply been constructed to provide lots of affiliate links to the products themselves. While that is your underlying aim, you should make sure that you give real value on your site, otherwise you may find you don’t get very much traffic.

When you launch your site, promote it everywhere you can. Grab some free pages from sites like Squidoo and HubPages that you can write articles and content for to discuss all aspects of cell phones and Blackberries. Then link into your website and see how much traffic you can generate. Over time your traffic should build and you will start to see some revenue trickling into your Commission Junction account.
And that’s where the fun starts! One final point – make sure you keep your site updated with the latest cell phone and Blackberry releases. That way you will get even more traffic.

Make money selling ebook on the Apple iBook Store

With the launch of the Apple iPad, Apple hopes to do for books what the iPod did for music. To help stock the iBook store with plenty of titles, Apple has came up a way for you to sell your eBook in their iBook store! You can do this all by yourself. You don’t need a publisher, distributor or agent. You decide how much to charge and which countries to sell into. Best of all, you also get the same deal as the app publishers, which mean 70% of the revenue goes to you!

In order to put your eBook into the iBook store, you need to meet the following requirements:

1.An ISBN numbers for the book you want to sell
2. The ability to deliver the book in ePub format
3. The book pass EpubCheck 1.0.5
4. A US Tax ID (Non US are out of luck for now)
5. An iTunes account backed up by a credit card
6. An idea of where you’ll sell and how much you’ll sell for
7. An Intel-based Mac running OS 10.5 or better (PC users are SOL)

If you don’t know how to get an ISBN number, Apple suggests that you use an Apple-approved aggregator. These are firms that have a financial arrangement with Apple and can provide you with a number of services. If iBook takes off and more and more writers start publishing their works on iBook instead of going through the normal channels, we could be seeing a total shake up of the industry. Be the pioneer in making money by selling your ebooks on the Apple iBook Store!!!

Making Money Trading Forex 24X7

Whether you’re new to trading or are what’s considered a “seasoned” trader, there a lot of money to be made in the trading Forex markets. Although instantly training with real money is not for beginners or people that have never traded before, you can quickly learn the ropes with a little help and commitment.

What is Forex Trading?
Forex trading is the buying and selling of currencies. In much the same way that you’d buy and sell stocks on the stock market, traders exchange currencies they’ve purchased. If you’ve ever traded on the stock market, you should have no problem getting the hang of trading Forex.
The purpose of Forex trading is to exchange a currency that you’ve purchased for another with the hopes that the price of the newly purchased one will go up in value. Whether you’re new to this or consider yourself an old pro, you’ll find it very exciting and a lot of fun. The value of currencies is always quoted in pairs such as USD/JPY or GBD/USD. The reason for this is because you’re always buying one and selling another.
It is recommended, however, that until you get the hang of what you’re doing you should set up a “demo” account where you may be buying and selling currencies but they’re fake. By doing this, you’re learning how it’s done and giving yourself a chance to learn more about it without losing real money.

Signing up for an Account
Signing up for an account is very easy. You can register for one of the training courses on the Forex web site where you can “pretend” trade in a demo atmosphere or you can participate in their workshops where you’ll have real experts teaching you everything you need to know about Forex trading. You’ll also have webinars at your disposal where you can watch demonstrations of Forex trading, take part in discussions with beginners as well as experts in the field. Signing up for an account is not only fun and exciting by the best way to learn the ropes so you’ll soon be ready to begin making money trading Forex.

Getting started is Easy
You’ll find that it’s easier than you thought to get started. Banks and financial institutions have been doing it for years and now with the internet available to everyone, it’s easy for you to make money at home by trading Forex. Because there are so many different theories behind trading Forex, it’s to your advantage to talk with someone that knows what they’re doing and has participated in Forex trading in the past.
If you don’t know anyone with enough experience to help you, consider signing up for some of the online webinars and Forex workshops. They’re very helpful and will take you through any scenario you can imagine and are available to answer any questions you may have. You can continue to be part of a “demo” trading market until you’re ready to strike out on your own with real money. That’s when you’ll see how much money you can truly make trading Forex.your

Microsoft to Launch Project Natal Worldwide

Project Natal as we know is something that would change the gaming world forever. After a long wait and tentative dates floating around for it’s launch, Microsoft’s Saudi Marketing Manager Syed Bilal Tariq today said in an interview with GamerTagRadio that Project Natal will make a worldwide debut in October this year.


Project Natal


If you have been living under a rock or something and don’t know what it is all about: Project Natal introduces controller-free gaming with which you take full control of the games by simply moving around, jumping, punching and kicking or whatever you feel like doing. It will detect almost anything you do! You can even move through the beautiful NXE interface by swiping your hands back and forth ala Minority Report style! It’ll push the gamer deep into the game and making him/her believe that he/she is a part of the game itself.


The fact that Project Natal would hit the shelves around the globe in October 2010, and not just in the United States is alone something to be excited about as most of the recent hardware releases like Zune from Microsoft have been limited to just U.S. [via TechCrunch]

iPhone 4 Features: This Changes Everything. Again.

Steve Jobs unveiled the much awaited next generation iPhone at today’s WWDC 2010 Keynote address and it looks exactly like the lost next generation iPhone prototype.

Apple iPhone 4

Apple is calling their fourth generation iPhone - iPhone 4, after various rumors and speculations that it might be called iPhone HD.

Apple believes its “the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone”. Find out all you wanted to know about Apple’s new iPhone 4 after the break.





Here are some of the major features of Apple’s new iPhone:

FaceTime:

iPhone 4 comes with two cameras, a front facing camera in addition to a camera at the back.

The front facing camera will allow iPhone 4 users to make and receive video calls. You can switch between the two cameras during a video call with a tap of a button. You’ll also be able to make calls in both portrait and landscape mode.

Apple iPhone 4

But you can make and receive video calls only between two iPhone 4s. It will be interesting to see if iPhone apps like Skype will allow users to make video calls to other Skype users on computers or other mobile devices. Video calling works only over Wi-Fi.

Steve Jobs has mentioned that the feature is Wi-Fi only in 2010 but they’re working with cellular providers to allow video calls over 3G.

However, if iPhone 4 is jailbroken then you should be able to use jaillbreak apps such as VoIPOver3G, 3GUnrestrictor to make video calls over 3G. So if you’re an existing AT&T customer then it might be a good reason to stick to the unlimited data plans.

Retina Display:

iPhone 4 will be running at a resolution of 960x640. Apple is calling the iPhone 4 display, the Retina Display.

Apple has managed to pack four times more pixels in the display as compared to previous iPhone models. The pixel density of iPhone 4’s display is 336 pixels as compared to 163 pixels in iPhone 3GS thus making it the smartphone with the highest-resolution screen currently.

iPhone OS 4.0 which has be renames as iOS 4 will automatically make iPhone apps work on the higher resolution Retina display.

HD Video Recording:

iPhone 4 users will be able to shoot movies in high definition HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio. Apple has also announced a new iPhone app called iMovies for iPhone to enable iPhone 4 users to shoot, edit and share videos.

Better Camera:

iPhone 4 comes with a 5-megapixel camera as compared to iPhone 3GS 3.2 megapixel camera.

But more importantly iPhone 4’s camera comes with built-in LED flash. So you’ll be able to finally take low light photos with iPhone 4.

A4 Chip:

iPhone 4 will be powered Apple’s A4 chip. The same chip that powers Apple’s iPad.

A4 is very good with very power management as we have seen with the long battery life of iPad.

Improved Battery Life:

The battery of iPhone 4 is bigger. So with the bigger battery and A4 chip, Apple has managed to improve battery life as compared to iPhone 3GS.


  • Talk time:


    • Up to 7 hours on 3G (iPhone 3GS: Up to 5 hours on 3G)


    • Up to 14 hours on 2G (iPhone 3GS: Up to 12 hours on 2G)




  • Standby time:


    • Up to 300 hours (iPhone 3GS: Up to 300 hours)




  • Internet use:


    • Up to 6 hours on 3G (iPhone 3GS: Up to 5 hours on 3G)


    • Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi (iPhone 3GS: Up to 9 hours on Wi-Fi )




  • Video playback:


    • Up to 10 hours (iPhone 3GS: Up to 10 hours)




  • Audio playback:


    • Up to 40 hours (iPhone 3GS: Up to 30 hours)





In my opinion, the 40% improvement in battery life is one of the most significant improvements in iPhone 4 as poor battery life was one of my biggest gripes about iPhone 3GS.

Other features:


  • iPhone 4 is just 9.33mm thick, which is 24% thinner than the current iPhone 3GS


  • It will also be capable of HSDPA/HSUPA speeds of 7.2Mbps down and 5.8Mbs up


  • iPhone 4 supports UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz) while iPhone 3GS supports only UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz).


  • Gyroscope to detect motion on 6 axes


  • It will use the smaller micro SIM like iPad


  • A second mic for noise cancellation
