Volcano IC100 Driver

Not all people get what they wanted since money is sometimes the medium in order to have what they wanted. Some people don't buy things by brand names, some buy things to the capacity of their money or even wait for hand-overs. I have an old webcam in my treasure box which I gave to my sister back in my country coz they need a webcam but when I gave it to them I can't find the driver in my hard drive.

Now, while I was browsing my old picture, I happened to find what I was looking for. Since it is a hard to find driver I decided to post it here. To all webcam owners of Volcano IC100 here is the driver.

Happy New Year to all.

Comparing Smart Phones with GSMArena

Last post ago, I posted Sony Ericsson's AINO which is quite expensive when I checked the price. I checked HTC's Touch 2 since it is much cheaper. Again, I looked the other way and found my way to the cheapest (I mean cheaper than AINO and Touch 2). I found Samsung S8000 Jet and found it's feature almost not the same but of equal to AINO. Okay, they both have their own strengths to their feature but most of the things I need are in them already. Their added value just made the difference.

They both have Radio and both have GPS capabilities. Added bonus to Samsung S8000 is the DivX/Xvid video player with Dolby sound and has a larger storage capacity for applications, so I guess Samsung won my heart then. And to add value to it - it is much, much cheaper than SE's AINO (About $100 lesser). All in all, Samsung won my heart.

I haven't completely fall out of love on Apple's IPhone 3Gs, it's just that - it is way too much expensive for my wallet to handle. And I just compared IPhone 3Gs and Samsung S8000 and found them almost equal except when it's about storage - they both even have Digital Compass (I just don't know if they have the same capability). IPhone doesn't have an expandable card so I guess Samsung won me there again. I love IPhone 3Gs' games, I don't know about Samsung - I have to check that later.

Thanks to GSMArena for the information. A great site to compare your desired smartphones for its price, features and quality.

Eyeing for New

I was trying to get a new IPhone 3GS this month but to no avail, it did not happen because Mobily has almost sold-out all their IPhone and what's left is 3 pieces of IPhone 3GS 32GB. The price is too much for me so I decided to buy their cheapes IPhone - the IPhone 3G but like I said there are no more stocks left except the 3GS 32GB.

Now I am looking for new and acceptable replacement, cheaper but also good. And in my quest, I found 2 PDAs I think will fit my needs. One is the HTC Touch and this Sony Ericsson AINO that is looking quite decent.

I am a fan of Sony Ericsson. My 3 previous cellphones are all Sony Ericsson so I guess considering them would be a priority. I'll check for the price tomorrow. Enjoy the commercial and its gallery just below.

Manila, Pres.Arroyo's SONA: Cute Moments

I was pretty bored when I happen to type the word "Mascot Accidents" in google and found this image. Mind you, this happened during President Gloria Macapagal's SONA (State Of the Nation Address). I thought I should share this moment to everyone.

Here is the story:

===

'SONA Mascot' entertains Bugkalot tribesmen, kin

Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya – Members of the Bugkalot indigenous community here who are manning a barricade to prevent the entry of large-scale mining were shocked to see their cousin Rosario Camma live on television during President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Mariano Maddela cannot help but laugh when he saw his cousin wearing the traditional g-string.

"Halatang hindi na siya nakatira dito sa bundok. Nakakatuwa! (It is quite obvious that he no longer lives here in the mountains. It's funny!)," he said.

Maddela hails from the village of Pa-o which shares border with the village of Kakidugen, Camma's birthplace.

Maddela's mother is a cousin of Camma's father.

Camma left the village of Kakidugen when he married a woman from Solano, Nueva Vizcaya and later moved to Nagtipunan, Quirino where he got a concession to harvest rattan poles, a major raw material in the furniture industry.

He was acting as the Bugkalot Tribal Federation Chief before he was elected mayor of Nagtipunan during the last election.

Camma's presence in this year's SONA and having been specially mentioned by the president is a puzzle to many here.

"Grabe! Kontodo costume pa ng Bugkalot!" texted a church worker of the Philippine Episcopal Church, whose members are Igorot migrants now settled inside the Bugkalot ancestral domain.

Igorots are at odds with Camma's group because they are favoring large-scale mining.

Maddela and Camma are locked in a bitter struggle over their Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title.

Camma led a group of elders who consented to the mining exploration activities of Royalco Resources Ltd, an Australian company.

Siding with the majority of the people in the community, which include non-Bugkalots, Maddela rallied an inter-tribal group to barricade the entry to the target exploration site in the sub-village of Digyan since July 2, 2007.

The mining firm Royalco was forced to withdraw its exploration recently after one year of futile attempts. A series of violent confrontations caused Royalco's failure to explore the target site.

Maddela is also wondering about the words uttered by the president when he acknowledged Camma.

There are no new irrigation systems built inside the Bugkalot ancestral domain. The Casecnan and Addalam irrigation systems are not serving the Bugkalot domain as this merely serves as watersheds, he said. – Abe Almirol, GMANews.tv

I am a member of Bux.to since 2007, I got my 1st payout but after that the second payout is still under Pending and it has been a year now so I sent a ticket to them and this is their reply:

I don't know how they stay on business if their members aren't happy. Well, I am not expecting any from them anyways but I still click ads atleast 5 a day just to make my account active and hoping they would pay me.

Adgitize: Questions Enlightened

Recently, I had some questions for Adgitize that I have not seen in their FAQ but thanks to their forum I was able to see the answers. Browsing at their forum, here are some important questions that may give light to all those who have some questions in their mind.

Missing points from your blog articles?
In the Member's Lounge, check if your blog is listed and your RSS feeds is also listed. If it is not you may have an old type of RSS feed, ask your webhost what kind or version of Rss you have. To check if you RSS feed is working, copy the rss code you posted and paste it on your browser's address bar and press enter. You should see an archive of your posts.

Blog not shown in Preferred Publishers?
First of all, you have to be sure to have 300 points every 4 days. And another thing is, the Preferred Publisher's list is randomly generated every 5 minutes I think. Check in the Member's Lounge also under Publishers if your blog is even listed and approved, you'll know if you see ACTIVE below it.

Having two blogs listed in Preferred Publisher, what is the benefit?
For sure it will earn you more points in your Ad Views and Page Views but you will only earn for one article a day which means if you have 1 new article for each of your blog that day, you'll only earn 100 points (1 article).

100 Clicks is 100 points, 600 click is what?
100 clicks hehe! But if you are an Advertiser you can click up to 50 and get 100 points.

How do you withdraw your earnings?
No need to do such thing. Normally, every 10th of the month Adgitize starts paying all who have reached the minimum Adgitize cashout of $10.

Is Adgitize the same as Google's Adsense?
No. Adsense is a pay-per-click, pay-by-impression (takes forever to earn $0.01). Adgitize however pays you for your activity which earns you points. This points will be the ratio of your share from Adgitize's profit for a day. 100 points is easy to earn, just post an article a day plus your activities like clicking other member's adgitize button ads (125 x 125).

Which is better Adgitize or Google's Adsense?
If you have a small business or only have a personal blog then Adgitize will earn you more than Adsense, take it from my experience. I had my Adsense for years and I only have $15 in my account. Check this evaluation:
With Adsense I earn $0.01 for 3 days.
With adgitize FREE account, I earn $0.03 per day.
With adgitize advertiser account, I earn at least $0.75 per day.

Now do the math. Are you happy, you checked this out?

How is daily earnings rated?
You can see this in the menu - Earnings - title is Percentage Earned
(MemberPoints / Total Points) * ( Money available to network for daily earnings.)
The higher your rate goes, the higher your earnings get.

Can you earn even for a FREE acoount?
ABSOLUTELY!

Can I trust Adgitize?
Another ABSOLUTELY! Mr. Ken Brown is a very patient, honest and very supportive admin. Quick response and quick action is another thing I've experience from Adgitize.

Hope this helped everyone. Happy Adgitizing.

So tired

I was so tired this of thinking and eyes kept twitching after a tiring work. I still haven't moved or typed a word on my new project. I don't know if it will even materialize. But I just got an idea of a new and simple project that can be useful to everyone specially to all those who play the game of PTC or paid-to-click sites.

I'll be making a password keeper that will make your life easier in storing your passwords securely in the right place. Please wait for it. I will make it available for free.

I have to go and sleep now. I feel really drowsy. I just remembered, I have to fix my previous post in my other blog. It sounds so stupid because I am very sleepy that time and I just don't want to let go of the idea while it's in my head coz sometimes it is not there anymore once I sleep.

For now, this will have to do.

Year 2009's Footprints: Counting My Blessings

This entry may not be related to my blog's category but since Christmas is coming soon, I'd like to take this opportune time to thank God for all the things He gave to me this year 2009.

Year 2009 will soon be ending and thinking about it made me look back to my past achievements and blessings. I always made sure to count my blessings before the end of the year but I'll make an early post because I am going to join Online Mommy's Corner Thanksgiving Contest. Well, since I do it every year, why not take this opportunity, I might win something.

So what am I thankful of?

1. I am not thankful of the 2009 recession that happened early this year which affected almost globally. Actually, it all started December 2007 but it was only realized by the whole world last December 2008 - okay, I'm not quite sure about it but that's what I've heard. Anyways, what I am thankful of is that where I currently work, here in Saudi Arabia we weren't affected big time. I am thankful because even when the world is at crisis, our company gave us an increase in our salary in order for us to afford the price hike in the market.
2. I am always thankful to thank God for a great family I have. A loving and understand wife and cute and cuddly son who continues to grow.
3. I am thankful because God continues to bless us and provide everything that we need. My wife got a great job offer where she gets to enjoy her work and was able to excel more on her career as a Dentist.
4. I am thankful to God because he blessed us a great vacation in Hongkong. We really enjoyed our time there in Hongkong. I was able to fulfill one of my greatest dreams when I was a child, going to Disneyland. We also went to Ocean Park and lots of great places HK could ever offer. We'll probably go back there someday.
5. I am grateful and thankful to God for giving me a chance to find new friends through blog and through PEBA.
6. I am thankful to God that even during our crisis, He provided solutions to our problems.
7. I am thankful to God for strengthening our marriage and continually give each of us better understanding. Giving us patience and making us better parents toward our son.

Thank God for everything.

Site Stats

Okay, it's been days or probably weeks since I brought the status of this blog. I can only say that among all my blog launches, this blog is the only one that brought me success and great opportunities.

First, with this blog, I was able to gather more traffic and visitors more efficiently than before. I'd like to thank Adgitize to that, it has been a great success since I've used the combined promotion of Adgitize and EntreCard.

I have made the biggest payout in my entire affiliate programs history. Yes, sad to say that I only got a few pennies from my past payouts with other network affiliate websites but it was all thank to Adgitize for a great payout. Their advertesing has just doubled but the earnings given to you are also increased by 2 so I guess earning more income this following days is much more easier or reaching my 2nd payout.

Before I forget, I have just received an email from Bux.to. To all who have no idea what bux.to is, bux.to is a PTC or paid to click site. They claim that they are the number one and that they pay their members. I got my payout from them and got my premium membership fee back. The email contains that they will now be soon closing and they are just offering more money to boost your chances of being paid before they close. I can only say that to hell with them, if they really plan on paying bux.to members, they should have just paid their members and not ask for additional $10 to be paid. This $10 will entitle you of real payment. Bux.to are SCAMS!

More updates tomorrow and may all of you have a very merry christmas.

Free Image Organizer

Here is another freebie for you. Did you know that there is an image organizer that is FREE and very easy to use. If you have a Blogger account, do you know where your uploaded photos are hosted?

Here is the features of Picasa:

Picasa 3.6 has improved name tags, a feature based on the same technology that powers name tags on Picasa Web Albums. With name tags, you can organize your photos based on what matters most: the people in them. In this new version, you can also upload photos to your friends' collaborative albums, more easily geotag photos using Google Maps, and import photos from your camera and upload them to Picasa Web Albums in one step. Get started by downloading Picasa for PC or Mac at http://picasa.google.com

	Add name tags -- Picasa scans all the photos in your collection, identifies the ones with faces, and groups photos with similar faces together. It's easy to add name tags to dozens of photos at once by clicking "Add a name" below a photo and typing the person's name. Once you've tagged some pictures, you can make a face collage with one click, easily find all your pictures with the same two people in them, or upload your name tags to Picasa Web Albums. Learn more
	Collaborative albums -- Upload from Picasa -- In August 2009, we introduced collaborative albums in Picasa Web Albums. Now you can upload to a friend's album directly from the Picasa software. Learn more
	Geotag your photos with Google Maps -- Quickly add geotags using the newly integrated Google Maps. Click the Places button and drag your photos to the location where you took them. Of course, you can still use Google Earth to tag or view photos if you prefer. Learn more
	Import, upload, and share, all at once -- We've improved the import process so that you can star your favorites, upload to Picasa Web Albums, and share with Google contact groups at the same time. Learn more
	Tags -- Better bulk tagging, quick tags & tag counts -- We've improved the tagging experience. Just click the new Tags button on the right side of the Photo tray to add Quick tags , see tag counts for groups of images, and manage tags more easily. Learn more

Oh yes, your images are hosted in their Picasa website for free and you don't even know it, well some don't. You can download the desktop applications where you can easily share your images.

Fast and Free Video Player

Lots of video clips can be downloaded easily nowadays and some are even at high quality. Have you watched a huge resolution video in full screen? I remembered I downloaded a high-resolution video a week ago and my problem is I can't watch the movie properly because of it's resolution is so high. My machine is not a high-end PC so it is a problem for me to watch high-quality videos specially with resolution of 720p.

A great thing happened yesterday. I was browsing the web and saw this player and so I tried since it plays MKV music videos that I have downloaded before from AZURES torrent downloader. I installed it and to my amazement it worked great. The video and audio were in perfect synch. So okay I tried some of my downloaded MKV videos with subtitles and once again I was really amazed, I remembered watching that video and missing a lot of subtitles but when I used VLC Media player, I never missed a subtitle and seen the whole movie with its full glory.

You can download it here directly - CLICK HERE! Remember to check with antivirus after you download. I have tested this version though and with my up-to-date anti-virus from Microsoft, Security Essential no virus was found. If you doubt Microsoft better check it with your favorite antivirus program.

File is 17MB in size.
Here is the link once again - VLC Movie Player.
Please comment if the link isn't working or if it has virus or if the program isn't working at all. I am not the developer of this software.

Playing for Change: Stand By Me

Along time ago, I was blessed to have seen this great video from YouTube. Playing for change is literally composed of people who performs on streets for a couple of change. They are those people who plays music, sing songs on the street just to get some coins for them to have something for their supper or dinner and they gather here in one video from different parts of the world.

When I saw them performing via YouTube, I was really amazed. Just watch it and be amazed.



Enjoy! Just want to share something so great. Here is a short description of their group from the creators themselves.

On Vacation Mode

It's been days since I've posted a new tip, sorry about that. Right now I am on vacation mode here and currently enjoying my moment at home.

This morning, me and my officemate went to Mobily to buy an IPhone but we end up just eating outside. They run out of IPhone stock after the third day release of their promotion. They said it will be 3 more weeks till the new stock comes. It'll probably Christmas before they have new stocks, I hope it comes before Christmas, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Nothing happened so far.

I've joined a new PTC which looks decent and has a great potential to be like NeoBux. Check it out and join earlier to gain more referrals earlier while they're on Beta.

Thanks for visiting, keep on visiting to find out more tips.
