iPhone and iBullshit

0

First, let me draw you a picture of the idea which I wanna write. About 2 weeks ago Apple has release a new iPhone called 3G S, we are in an economical crisis, all over the world, which means there is no buying power from the consumers (more or less) and in the first week of the new iPhone, Apple has sold 1 million devices.

Now what the f*#?+ is wrong with this picture? I mean if we are in an economical crisis, which means the buying power is much lower then let’s say 2 years ago, how the hell can Apple sell 1 million device in the first week of it’s release? What the hell happened to our priorities, if there are so many issue with this economy, all over the world, less and less jobs and of course less and less money… how is it possible that 1 million people would buy without any issue this new iPhone only in US?

Easy money using Google AdSense

0


This one, it’s pure bullshit, unless you are a drug dealer, pimp or you are involved with some underground cartel, you can’t make easy money. Not with Google AdSense or anything similar that anyway. There is a possibility using the idea of pay-per click to make money, but your web page or blog has to have something that will bring over 1000+ unique visitors, every day. The idea of pay-per click is simple, someone visits your web page or blog, sees the ad, sees something interesting and clicks on it. For each click, you get a certain amount of money, usually, no more then $0.2 per click, but if you put 1000 users clicking everyday day on the ads on you web page or blog, over one month you can get really a nice sum of money. The main problem is that even if there are 1000 uniq visitors, you can’t be sure that they will click on the ads and maybe 10-20% of those visitors will ever click on the ads. There also a different way to use your web page or blog and display ads, but it’s based on the idea of how many times the ads are displayed on your web page or blog. The idea, I think is called cost-per-thousand impressions, so this would mean somewhat that you wont be payed on clicks, but on visits on your web page or blog.

Perfect web server for your blog running CentOS (nginx + php-fpm + mysql)

0

Having your own blog this days can be a piece of cake, as there are a lot of hosting packages to choose from and also they are very cheap. Like I said, having a blog it’s not a big deal, but having a dedicated server or VPS with your own custom setup can be some what difficult to achieve. I’m talking about a setup which includes nginx as a web server, php-fpm as a back-end php server and mysql server as a database server. The easy way how to do this, could be by installing this packages from the distro’s repository, but again, is this case I will do it from the source code.

To start with this, we need a VPS or dedicated server, which can be a problem, because can cost some money. A VPS can cost from about $20 and up and you’ll get with this money about 256MB of RAM and maybe 10-20GB of disk space. If you need something better or faster, a dedicated server would do the job and the price for having a dedicated server would easily start from $50 and up.

Revision 3 for kernel 2.6.30-final released…

14

Thanks to one of the guys who posted on my previous post, I got the info that seems there is a problem with the SD cards on Acer Aspire One and maybe even other system in case of a suspend/standby. It seems that in the new kernel MMC drivers are set to modules and also MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME it’s disabled, which also seems to kind of destroy the file system on SD cards after resume from suspend/standby. The fix can be found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/342096 and requires to modify the kernel configuration from:

CONFIG_MMC=y
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=m
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set
