Its been longer than usual that an entry on movies has been posted...cos I'm handicapped currently...but before you start wondering if I've lost a foot or an arm... I'm lenovo s10 handicapped.

Without a proper internet connection or a computer, i'm forced to write an update on the Nokia E71. =) which I gotta say has been pretty helpful to me. (did u know u can watch movies online with Skyfire browser for symbian, and even do internet banking, e.g. Uob...)

Today's topic is about MONEY.
Its a minority that struck it rich by blogging.
Which is why anyone that is thinking of earning full-time running a website, believe me - its hardwork. Its harder than you can imagine!!

For this acute site plus http://hktwdramaonline.blogspot.com
I can only say, I earn peanuts. But hey, its better than nothing!

Here's a list of minutes from the lovely sponsors that a rely on.

min sums of 5USD
Linkbucks: 5.98USD (my first paycheck! via paypal)
Adbrite: 8.60USD (similar policy to many ad companies, it takes 2 months for amts to mature. This comes july 1st.)

min sums of 100usd.
Adsense: tentatively at 20USD. Its a long way to go..

Adverlets: at 25SGD/ 54malaysia dollars. They have a min sum requirement of 100malaysia dollars before paying bloggers.

Adsense: oh, its still 7.36sgd after it stopped being exclusive. I highly advise bloggers to keep to 1 and not have both. After either reaches payout, switch back. That'll prevent your earnings from being locked and unpayable. I'm currently waiting for the latter to mature before returning to this. Lol.


Failed ventures:
I have to mention that many Advertisers run via 'click rates' or exchange programs. Thus, the following are less useful for small blogs but highly raved for professional retail sites, forums alike where clicking tends to happen more often..do place them!

Webgains - earns in similar ways to Linkshare, via sales
Clicksor
kontera - very good for forums.
Chitika - earns only from monitored USA traffic on clicks, previews and searches.
Linkshare - profit comes in form of successful sales purchase. 2- 20% of each sale. Quite tough.

remember, to earn more, you must have a targeted audience, an x-factor/selling point/craved topic.


And this has all been written with Nokia E71. (ooh.. my thumbs don't hurt but my wrist do.)

Follow me on twitter la, I have symbian related stuff updated there.

Review:
I got to say, this movie was like, Wham Bam KaPow and Koo Koo!cos it threw the story to you quickly , hits you with the crazy woman story, cat fight and then it ends with you going 'Koo Koo women!' = crazy women!
.
It wasn't draggy as it delivers the main points of the story quickly, introducing each character, their personality and what's the current situation up to the point where Crazy Woman (Ali Larter) appeared and created a sexual romance all up in her head about Derek (Idris Elba) and executed them. That of course makes Sharon (Beyonce) very..very angry.
I bet women would love this movie. we love seeing crazy third party get beaten up (well i do)
And the men would crave to be in Derek's situation, being sexually harassed; flashed by a sexy woman and yes, 2 women fighting over themselves.
There's alot of suggestive scenes but no flashing of boobs or whatnots as both leading ladies have perfect bodies.
overall, i enjoyed being told there could be such kookoo! women in this world and the fight scene was great addition. Acting wise, all did their parts but it wouldn't be as excellent if Ali wasn't in there. I loved her in Hero and i love her in this one too. She made the movie a success. Beyonce and Idris were fine actually, it wasn't so horrid as over reviewers mentioned. But of course, I would have loved to known if Beyonce trusted her husband and what the other colleagues felt towards Derek's kookoo woman incident.

7.5/10
A hi-bye movie.

Similar to iGoogle whereby users can have their own personalized theme on the header bar...Firefox has rolled out its own 'Dress Me Up' called Persona.


Here's my iGoogle in Paul Frank.


Here's my Firefox 3 all dressed up in Carbon Fiber 1.

How to Install & Use?

* On the bottom left there's a little 'clone' which looks like foxkeh (just less cute),
* click on 'foxy' and u'll see a list of available categories of layouts.

I would say, fans of Foxkeh can finally move on.
I love foxkeh but i badly needed another color besides orange...with Persona, you can!
