nVidia BBQ

We'll I have an nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X and like 6 months ago the GPU little cooling fan stopped working... it simply died. Yesterday I was playing NFSU2 but because I knew of the cooling deficiency of my computer i turned on the air conditioner at 16 degrees. This would help with the cooling i thought.

Later in the game i started to smell like burned rubber and I said ohh! my pc is the best... it also simulates the smells from the game!... but no... it was my nVidia catching fire.... we'll Ill be soon be upgrading the cooling of my pc...

Yuwie Social Network

Hi,

I'm posting an article of Yuwie. The social network that pays their users.

I'ts pretty good though i like Facebook better than any of the social networks. But Yuwie it's not bad. Everyone its very friendly, they rarely reject a friend request, might be because they want you to view their profile so they get paid more but :P thats life. Money can do marvels.

Overall the system is a bit hard to manage but It's well done. I say it's hard to manage and browse because it doesn't have all the grooves and new stuff like AJAX and other technologies that make a site behave more smoothly and quickly with less page loads. This is one of the main things that make Facebook the best, simply its VERY well done.

To get paid in Yuwie you have to generate page views. For each 1000 views from you or your referrals you get paid a percent of the RSR. The RSR is basically the number they calculate for your revenue when they calculate all their income, they can't pay you what they don't have. In the next table you wil see the percents for each of the 10 levels of referrals they accept!. Thats right 10 levels of referrals. This means that you get lots of referrals over the time. Here's the table:

You10%
Level 110%
Level 210%
Level 34%
Level 44%
Level 54%
Level 64%
Level 74%
Level 810%
Level 910%
Level 1030%

So for your level you'll get 10% of the RSR for each 1000 page views. That sound a lot but with the referrals this could get interesting. Let's see an example that appears in the help area in Yuwie.

We can't say exactly, but here's an example of what could happen. The chart below assumes you refer 3 people, and those 3 people refer 3, then those refer 3, through 10 levels, and each referral gets 1000 page views for the month, and the month's RSR is $0.50.



Yuwie it's an interesting social network that even pays you to have your profile. So give it a try and see if you can get any income from Yuwie. To Sign In click the banner below.

Welcome Post

Hi,

I'm starting this blog about tech news and info. Basically all that I encounter that i think its interesting so you would have a good technology resource, everything in one place.

I'm ready for a slow start because I'll have to fill the blog up and create a reasonably amount of content but the more important thing is to get the blog in the Google search... :P

I'll start slow and steady and hope people like this blog...

Hope to see people here soon!!!

Later!.
