Robot Dream Cat Venus for $110

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Now you can have your own robot cat for as little as $110 straight from Japan. This robot dream cat Venus is actually made by Sega and is actually the second verison after their Yume Neko, the highly-anticipated robotic cat.

This Robot Drean Cat Venus has plenty of applications, even for the elderly. It has been thought such a robot cat would make a perfect robotic companion for the eldery since it requires little up keep and can give an elderly person the feeling of some kind of companionship.

Will Dream Cat Venus type toys be the new standard for stuffed animals? Maybe we’ll have robot bears that can talk like in the movie A.I.?

Microsoft No Longer Selling Microsoft Word?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Is it true that one of Microsoft’s major products, word, will no longer be able to be sold by Microsoft? After a U.S. federal court in Texas ruled in favour of i4i dispute involving the way Word reads XML, a patent that i4i holds, Microsoft was ruled that it had 60 days to stop selling it’s office suite.

This would mean Microsoft has 60 days to redesign and distribute it’s Word software. But, keep in mind this change only has to be made in the United States. Microsoft need not change a thing in it’s operations abroad. The company i4i also recieved a nice chunk of change, $290 million, for the lawsuit.

Would you buy Microsoft Office without word? What’s the point? Besides don’t you prefer Open Office anyway?

Google Adsense Is The Best Way To Earn Money?

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

So many people believe that Google Adsense is the best and only way to earn money online. While Google Adsense works well on some websites to earn money, it is not the best way to advertise on other websites.

If your website is getting a low ECPM (earnings per thousand) using Google Adsense, maybe it is time to change. While Google can give me really good ECPM on some of my sites, other sites it performs very poorly. Google Adsense is not the end all solution for all publishers. There are plenty of ways to get advertising revenue outside of Adsense. Sites like PayPerPost, Infolinks, Chitika, etc, all provide additional revenue sources.

So before you consider that Google Adsense is your only advertising solution, consider some of the alternatives.

Do Article Spinners Really Work? Best Way to Spin Articles

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

So you want an article spinner but you have noticed how badly they rewrite your articles. Articles spinners, while fast, often rewrite your articles in a way that is barely legible and comes off immediately looking like spam.

Article Spinners are tools meant to take your articles and rewrite them so you could build for example the exact same blog twice. This would be meant to get additional google traffic over a wide range of the same blogs. While it all sounds nice, this strategy unfortunately rarely works using article spinners.

The best way to spin articles is to have them hand written. Either doing it yourself or paying someone to rewrite what you write is simply the best way to spin articles. You need not only to change the words, but mainly the whole article yourself if you really want the article to be viewed as original content and not simply a copy of what you had before.

HumanSpinner.com is much better than a site like ArticleSpinner.com, though it cost more, it will be worth it in the long run if you really want to successfully spin articles.
