Where to Find Available Stock of iPhone5...
Where do we find available stock of iPhone5 fans? Evidently, they seem to be everywhere.
This is despite the fact that the latest iPhone5 is only marginally better than its predecessor the iPhone4S and that there is a host of competitor smart phones out there in the market that outperform the iPhone5.
Interestingly, Apple has still managed to somehow convince people to form long queues to grab their iPhone5 despite the lacklustre reviews from many parties whom have been disappointed that no major leap has been unveiled. All the iPhone5 did was to perform catchup with its competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X which had already boosted the processor upgrades, larger screens, etc months ago.
For those whom have done their objective reviews of the phones, there is little likelihood of them trying a Melva Yip stunt. While Melva Yip may had been justified in being excited over the iPhone 4, wasting so much of his time just to be first in the queue for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and now the iPhone 5 just seems to convey a feeling that this is one guy whom has no better use for his time and really needs to get out and try finding a life.
iPhone while revolutionary during its initial launch, is today just another phone not worth the hype. While the wow factor was there when it first launched, the latest launch of the iPhone only saw people dissing it with sacarsm that Apple is already out of the innovation game after Steve Jobs' demise.

Japanese AV Film (HMNF-022) in Singapore Marina Bay Sands
Singapore is really going international and the latest addition to our skyline, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has now been featured in a Japanese film!
Interestingly, it was a Japanese adult video company which decided to film a porn movie resembling a tourism promotion video. The movie is said to be 2 hours and 40 minutes long. It must be a really engaging tourism promotion video to keep viewers glued to the programme for that long!
Basically the plot of the story is of a Japanese couple having their holiday in Singapore. During their throngs of passion, the Japanese couple was filmed in various sexual positions in their hotel room with Singapore’s CBD skyline in the background and adjourned to spots like Bugis, Shenton Way and Chinatown to satisfy their palates with famous Singaporean delicacies such as Laksa and prawn noodles.
It appears that the film had been uploaded to a site for viewers to download and after this news broke on the Singapore media and Internet forums, there are many people looking for a copy of the movie. Forum administrators are trying to remove information that contravenes their forum policies but new threads are sprouting up faster than they can react.
Just searching for "HMNF-022" on Google does bring up very relevant information on this film. While porn films are not truly accepted by mainstream Singapore, this film does really help in the tourism and praises MBS and Raffles Hotel as "The Best Hotel Life in Asia".
More specifically, the information on the film and its cast is as follows:
世界弾丸ハメドラー 天空の水辺 青木美空
青木美空profile
T158 B83(C) W54cm H83cm
As usual, prohibited fruit is all the most exciting and there is no doubt that that many people are now trying to download this movie. Singapore Tourist Board may well consider this alternative angle to focus attention on Singapore in future.

Adsense Is a Feasible Online Revenue Stream
While I had Adsense on my sites for quite a while, I have never really gained much from the programme and took a year or two to accumulate sufficient earnings for payouts to occur. Yet, over the past week or so, my Adsense earnings suddenly shot up. Within the span of days, I had accumulated a large number of Adsense clicks and saw my Adsense earnings skyrocket.
It suddenly hit home that Adsense, and perhaps other online advertisings as well, is a truly feasible way to make a living. The key point to making Adsense work for you is to write the right articles.
I had been writing articles based on my own interests and perhaps my interests were not exactly that popular and searched for by people. To make money out of Adsense, it is important to write for the masses. Write articles that people are interested to read, articles that touch on the hottest topics of the day, articles on topics that are trending up.
This is not an easy job for the writer has to perpetually keep abreast of developments and come up with great articles in order to earn the Adsense impressions and clicks. The Adsense clicks can be rather rewarding for the writer whom works hard at it. Really take my hat off to those people whom are able to maintain multiple sites and generate sufficient income from such online advertising.

Remove Advertisements from Hardwarezone
Forums sites such as Hardwarezone.com have been trying to monetise their page views by inserting advertisements into their pages. While a few well placed banners do no real harm, Hardwarezone.com advertisement banners have been putting more and more adverts onto their pages.
When the Hardwarezone adverts started, there were only banners. Then it evolved to the so-called Catfish, " an ingenious ad unit that is subtle in execution and delivers click-through rate many times above the industry average of 0.2%.", which appeared at the bottom of the page on first load. Gradually, Hardwarezone started putting adverts after the first postings of forum threads. That is already a lot of advertisements floating on a page!
The final straw is perhaps implementing floating advertisements that open right in the middle of the screen!!

3 ways to get rid of advertisements on Hardwarezone pages
- The simplest way is to pay money and subscribe to DMClub, Hardware Zone's premier membership club. The deluxe membership provides DMClub members access the forums through a dedicated server so loading speeds are much faster and also an advert free experience.
- The slightly more complicated way is to install an alternative browser such as Firefox and put in plugins such as ad blocker, ad block plus and ad block plus element and configure the plugins to filter out the advertisements that you do not want to see.
- The "most complicated" and cleanest approach to remove the Hardwarezone advertisements is to manipulate your hosts file if you are on a Windows system.
Look for the hosts file on your system at the location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open it with notepad and add the following lines to the file (make a copy of the file in case you need to revert to the original setup).
# [Hardwarezone]
127.0.0.1 streamit.hardwarezone.com
127.0.0.1 streamit2.hardwarezone.com
127.0.0.1 hardwarezone.us.intellitxt.com

127.0.0.1 kona.kontera.com
127.0.0.1 *.kontera.com
127.0.0.1 ad.hk.doubleclick.net
Save the file and restart your browser and you should be able to now enjoy a relatively advertisement free experience on Hardwarezone.

MaxOnline Speed Upgrades
Choosing the right broadband deal from those available in the market is difficult for some people. The marketing efforts by the different companies frequently help to add more confusion by focusing attention on irrelevant offerings that undiscerning consumers find out only after having committed to mandatory contractual periods.
Starhub Maxonline recently launched a new promotion advertising enhanced download speeds of up to 8Mbps with MaxOnline Express from 1 January 2008 and touts that the speed upgrade will help suscribers to enjoy richer broadband experience at home at no additional cost.
Getting a 8Mbps connection at a cost of slightly below S$60 appears to be a good deal especially when the comparative alternative in the market is Singnet's 6Mbps at S$50.90. Yet, if it is a good deal, why is it that Starhub's subscribers are frequently complaining about its services on forums? The reviews forummers provided about MaxOnline have frequently been less than flattering.
It becomes important to look further than the promotional material that the telcos have thrown at consumers. A search through information provided at IDA, Singapore's regulatory auhtority for the telecommunications sector, yields the necessary information to explain the unhappiness with Starhub's Maxonline service.
The performance of Starhub's Maxonline, currently at 6Mbps, to international sites is much lower than the 6Mbps advertised. The information provided at IDA showed the throughput for MaxOnline Express at below 1/3 of that advertised. The much higher speeds advertised only apply when subscribers were accessing content within Singapore, content which is sorely lacking and a minor proportion of the average users' surfing habits.
The constant raising of connection speeds by Starhub is, in effect, a marketing strategy that creates the illusion that subscribers are getting a better deal than peers whom are paying lower prices when subscribing with Singnet. In reality, based on the data provided by IDA, Singnet subscribers whom pay the lower prices, are getting throughputs that are totally comparable to MaxOnline subscribers. Even when considering latency of the network, Singnet and Pacific Internet also appear to be ahead of Starhub's MaxOnline!
Discerning consumers should look to taking up Singnet's 3Mbps offerings which go as low as S$40 instead of Maxonline Express. It does not make any sense to pay more and shortchange yourself with connection speeds that are theoretically up to 6Mbps but rarely ever encountered in reality. Do look beyond the simplistic promotional tactics that marketing throws in our face and find out the true underlying performance of what we are paying for from the authoritative sources such as IDA.
