AGLOCO

Free is too expensive... Own the Internet!

This is AGLOCO™ 's proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!


How does this work? Once you sign up on their website, when available you will be able to download the Viewbar software, a free toolbar-sized application (half the size of a traditional Windows tool bar) that quietly sits on your desktop without ever hampering your online habits. That’s all you need to do! Just continue using the Internet as you used to… no need to change your habits!

Do you have several individuals using one computer? You can have different AGLOCO™ viewbars to fit the profile of each user.

Don’t want to see or use the Viewbar at any given time? Just minimize it and the Viewbar stops working!

There are different ways AGLOCO™ can make money for its Members:

• Cash: You get cash by surfing the Internet while the Viewbar is running. AGLOCO™ ’s profits are distributed back to its Members. And you can also receive real-time discounts should you choose to purchase from AGLOCO™ ’s partners. They will never include gambling or adult entertainment sites as partners.

• Shares: In addition to cash, AGLOCO™ will give out shares in the company to its Members. Eventually, AGLOCO™ plans to go public and will be traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM. You can start earning stock options by keeping Viewbar active while you surf. In addition, you will gain extra shares by referring active users to AGLOCO™ (they lose nothing).

The more people join AGLOCO™ , the more value the community can generate for itself. The company believes those that build the community deserve more: your own profits become larger the more people you refer. You can accumulate hours not only from your Internet activity but also from those who you refer, and their referrals too… Up to 5 levels underneath you! For example, if you refer 10 people and all of them refer 5 people each, you could make over 7000 shares a month*!

Remember, this is all free, you don’t lose anything, all you have to do is sign up, download the Viewbar and that’s it. Build your network and refer friends, family and colleagues to AGLOCO™ and earn even more!

The guys behind this idea include several Stanford MBA’s and a few individuals who started AllAdvantage back in 1998, which gave over $100 million to its users before falling victim to the burst of the internet bubble. Today, the context is much more favorable: The sophistication of on-line commerce, the rapid emergence of communities, the wealth of advertising revenue sources, etc. Isn’t it time you got your share of the Internet?

Don't wait any longer. This is a win-win opportunity, and you’ll make it even more profitable for yourself when you start referring friends and relatives before others get to them! Since I assume you learned about AGLOCO™ thanks to my website*, please don’t forget to add my referee ID when signing up: BBBR7939. Click here to sign up directly!

What?!? A 16GB Flash Drive?!?

16GB Flash USB Dongle

Derek Dongle writes "This is great — Toshiba plans to bring out a limited edition 16GB USB dongle. What would you do with 16GB in your pocket? Who knows? As the writer of this story says, "It may be one of the occasional cases of: who cares? It's a 16GB USB drive that fits in your pocket and weighs 12 grams!" I'm not quite sure I want to call it a dongle. At 8x2 cm it's not the smallest thing to attach to a keychain. But at 16 GB you could keep a good bit of your life there, provided you aren't working in audio or video. I keep a 1GB stick on my keychain, which is enough for almost anything

Sweet Piece of Machine!

Recently, I came across an ad in the newspaper about a dual-core laptop priced at P50,000. Only P50,000! I was shocked and suprised at the price since older laptops with lower processors cost you around P65,000 - P80,000. So, the next day I went out to check that laptop. By the looks of it, i could tell that it was just a generic laptop, but to be fair, it had a nice reg (Dual-core processor, 512mb RAM, 15-inch monitor). Then days past by with me really wanting to have that laptop coz even though it was just a generic laptop it surely was cheap. So I showed the ad to my friends with a thick knowledge about computer specs. They said "Palita! ok raman na" (Cebuano Dialect). At that point all the wanting and yearning of that laptop doubled! The next day that same friend of mine told me a friend of his is selling a DELL laptop with more or less the same price as the previous laptop. A DELL laptop at P50,000! There, the heat increase. Why would I buy a generic laptop versus a DELL laptop at the same price with the same specs!?! Here is the specs of that DELL laptop:

Intel® Core™ Duo Proc T2050 Intel® Core™ Duo Proc T2050
(1.60GHz/533MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache)
Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
15" Widescreen with Truelife
DVD-RW drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Wifi b/g
80 gb sata hard drive
1gb DDR2 Ram at 533MHz
tv remote control

Ain't it such a SWEET machine?!? It is actually price at about $946 at dell's site not to mention the tax and the painstaking process of acquiring it from US to Phils due to customs. Selling it at around P50,000 would be a great deal.

Insights on Java in Cebu

This day finally did come. I never thought this event would happen again, and now it’s even bigger and better. What I’m talking about is the Java in Cebu conference. It’s a whole day event which starts at 8 and ends at 5. This is actually the 2nd time this event has happen. I have to say this year’s conference was much better than last year. The venue was great, food was delicious, the speakers or should I say the Sun evangelists were very informative and the organizers were very well-prepared. Overall, it was a nice day for java.

Among the Sun evangelists were Reggie Hutcherson, Chuk Munn Lee, Sang Shin and Peter Karlsson. The program started with a little welcome message from the organizers and they were throwing away shirts and caps to audience. Too bad, I didn’t catch one. Then came the CEO of Sun Microsystems Philippines - Ms. Cynthia Mamon. It all got into an energetic start as Ms. Mamon unloosens the crowd with a song number wherein she let the crowd participate.

Then came the Sun evangelists. Reggie spoke about how each one should participate in today's technological world. He said it was Age of Participation. I have to say he's right coz you’ll really be left behind if you can’t participate, mostly especially in the IT world. So it came Sang’s turn, sang talked about the EJB 3.0, which I have no idea about. It was more like an advanced programming on Java. What got my attention on one of Sang’s lectures was the AJAX technology. It was a really cool presentation but not cooler than Chuk’s (Well get to Chuk’s part in awhile). He demonstrated how AJAX works and what sites are using this technology. For those of you who are interested in Sang’s work and about AJAX technology you can visit him at www.javapassion.com, and by the way Sang also is having a FREE (yeah, totally free.. as in no payment..) tutorials on the field of AJAX, J2EE and the likes. So go and check out www.javapassion.com. Peter’s next, this guy was all about Solaris. All the time he was talking about Solaris, its product, how nice and how good Solaris is. Honestly, I got bored in this part coz all I really know about Solaris is that it’s an operating system, I really have no idea what it does or its functions, if it can run my applications well and etc. But it was a good lecture though. I got to give him the credit for the efforts he has shown. He was just doing his job and advertising on the Open Source community. Anyways, enough about Solaris, let go to the exciting part! Among all Sun evangelists, this guy is the coolest! He has the most exciting topics and even though this guy had a tone of a Chinese talking English, if you where there you’ll probably agree with me that this guy had the most supporters in his session. This guy is Mr. Chuk Munn Lee, no relation to Bruce though. Chuk exhibited about the various things you could do with Java. He said that the most common feedback to Java was it was slow. Yeah, Java really had a bad history on that part but it all changed. Chuk displayed the one thing that Java can never be slow, that is GAMES! Yeah games! It’s called the TribalTrouble. You can download it if you want to (and again! It’s free!). Chuk talked about how each game should have a very nice first impression on the gamer coz once you have a bad interface on your game then people won’t be coming back to play your game. Chuk displayed a great 100% pure java game. And yeah! TribalTrouble has a very nice interface. You can control people; zoom in and out the island and much more. So guys, download it now! Another program that Chuk made was an application for the mobile phone. He made this application in just less than 5 minutes! 5 minutes! It was a really cool application, I think he was using the NetBeans 5.0, all you have to do was just drag some buttons, put some functionality on it and there! You now have an application for your phone.

The thing that I really liked about the event was the FREE stuffs they were giving away. They were giving bags, opensource software cd’s and they even raffled many thumbdrive pens and a Motorola SLVR Phone! It sucks coz I didn’t get a thumbdrive pen neither did I get the Motorola SLVR phone. But it’s ok coz I got a lot of free stuffs anyway. Overall, it was a wonderful event. I do hope that they come back next year for another fun and informative Java Day.
