I have been testing the new Linux Ubuntu 9.10 for about a week now and I am really liking it. It is not much different in appearance from MS Windows but the main reason its great is because it is free and when your aging computer starts to slow down to the point that Windows can't run Ubuntu gives your PC a second life!

Give your old PC a second life, Get Ubuntu 9.10!

Here is a posting about three different traffic generating sites for blogs, (http://www.blogexplosion.com/index.php?ref=bmorrill)Blog Explosion,
(http://www.blogmad.net/?ref=fbd47e4d6a01607)Blog Mad and (http://www.blogadvance.com/?ref=1513)Blog Advance.

It has been quite sometime now and I have had the chance to use each one of them and get to know each of them relatively well. Blog Explosion was the first I signed up to and it still is in my opinion one of the largest sites that offers a lot of different ways in which the user can gain or win credits to exchange for traffic for their blog but I find pages still to be a bit slow when browsing blogs or just browsing the site. Browsing credits are small but you can get full control out of assigning credits. One cool thing about this site is that you can earn bonus credits kind of like BlogAdvance while you are surfing these range from 2 to the most I've earned was 25 points! On the other hand BlogMad gives credits away just for being a member! Blog Mad was my second site I signed up to, probably the newest of the three. Blog Mad and BlogAdvance both offer the highest credit ratio of 1:1, for every blog you read someone can read yours. BlogAdvance soes give you the chance to earn 1.5:1 on promotional days. An amazing system as I have had upto 100 hits a day on my blogs. The pages on BlogMad are relatively quick to load as compared to Blog Explosion but I find if you are not constantly reading and getting credit for blogs your credits can go into the negative there is a way around this but I never bothered with it. What I don't like is that it is a little difficult to activate/deactivate certain blogs in Blog Mad unlike Blog Explosion. In Blog Explosion and Blog Advance it is just a simple procedure of assigning credits, when there are no more credits, your account becomes zero rather than negative. Very impressive ranking system on Blog Mad where you have to work up credits to reach a certain goal. Each rank requires a certain number of credits and has different incentives to work for. A real fun site! The third site I signed up to is Blog Advance. I think they have been around for quite sometime now much like Blog Explosion but their credits for reading blogs is a bit higher than Blog Explosion and the pages are quite quick to navigate though. An extra that Blog Advance offers is paid clicking, no not money but credits. I think these are sites that pay to have their banners displayed in a location where if you click and view their blog you can earn anywheres from 1.0 to 1.5 credits sometimes 2, a nice little bonus. In Blog Advance you can assign credits like Blog Explosion so that you don't go into the negative. All sites offer you games to play as well as blog viewing for credit. Blog Explosion and Blog Advance are a bit more comercially oriented in that you can buy credits but on the other hand they are much more fully developed than Blog Mad.

Windows has just launched its new Windows Vista OS so I hear. To copy or not to copy is the question to ask. Is this thing really worth the full Microsoft retail value or is it worth it to copy it? Copy it! Microsoft is just too big a corporation now with a too big a worlwide monopoly with its top CEOs making far too much profit without doing anything. Its time to take back the internet and disperse the wealth. The Chinese have the right idea to sell copies for just about 3USD a copy. I've heard so many negative comments about Vista that perhaps selling copies for $3 may just be more worthwhile.

�Islands at Risk�, which is included in this short clip is a very interesting documentary of how Hawai�i is beening used as a testing ground for Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs. All the major corporations are in there secretely growing crops around chain link fences with signs that read �keep out, trespassers will be prosecuted�. It is really interesting to see that the USA and Canada are big world leaders in GMOs and that these companies who are invading Hawai�i have taken away business from small farmers that sell to countries who do not accept GMO products at all.
