How Much Free Money You Can Earn With Agloco

For those who have already joined, you may already know that Agloco has a member calculator, which you can use to calculate your potential earnings. If you have not already joined, you can read more about it by clicking here. It is at the very least a very interesting idea, if not a great opportunity to earn money.

I fiddled with the earnings calculator a bit and came out with various numbers. I recommend trying it out yourself to see exactly what I mean.

The earnings are based on 3 numbers: the amount of people you referred directly, the number of people the referees will refer, and the number of hours each person spends surfing the internet with viewbar a month.

For example, if you refer 3 people, whom each will refer 3 people, and each person surfs for 5 hours out of the month, you will be earning about $450/month.

If you refer 10 people, whom each will refer 3 people, and each person surfs for 5 hours out of the month, you will be earning about $1500/month.

On the other hand, if you refer 10 people, whom each will refer 2 people, and each person surfs for 5 hours out of the month, you will be earning only about $400/month.

But if you refer 10 people, whom each will refer 5 people, and each person surfs for 5 hours out of the month, you will be earning about $10,000/month.

So it won't make too much of a difference if you recruit many people who you know would put no effort into it. Agloco is by no means a get rich quick scheme, rather, it's an opportunity for hard working people to make an easy buck or two. There are no catches; it just takes some time and effort, but it will have real results.

*Update: Agloco no serves over 840,000 search results in Google, 100,000 more than last week. Check back for updates and news to help make you a little richer.

What's the Catch? No catch. Sign up, refer your friends, download the free Viewbar™ software and surf the Internet as you normally would.

Why should you join?

The Potential
As many of you know, companies like google are making billions of dollars for paid advertising. Agloco will give you part of that money for everyday surfing you would normally do, as well as, for the members you refer and the members they refer. Instead of just paying you plain cash, you will be given the opportunity to receive your payments in stocks of the company. I'm sure many of us wished they invested in google at the beginning so they could have made that 500% return. Well Agloco will give you that chance for FREE. You will get the chance to make a huge investment with no loss. You have nothing to lose. If Agloco becomes successful, you will become rich. If they are not sucessful, you still will make some money from the stock that you own. Agloco is a win, win situation, so don't miss out.

Microsoft may also be the first to work a deal with Agloco. Bill Gates has repeatedly stated an interest in a company just like Agloco:

Gates said that search engines like Google Inc. get their revenues from advertising because people use these search engines. “Google’s business model is not based on free software,” Gates said. “Their business model is based on advertisements from which they make a lot of money.”

But they don’t share these advertising revenues with the end users who help them get the revenue, Gates said. “Google keeps all of the money with itself,” he added.

In its bid to share revenues with users, Microsoft may give free software or even cash to users, said Gates, who did not discuss further details.

Agloco's Success So Far
Agloco started this project about a month ago, starting with only 200 google search results. There was about 425,000 search results two weeks ago, there is now about 739,000 results. That's an incredible progress for one month, thanks to the rapid expansion of members. Just do the search yourself and see the changes over time.

Agloco's Philosophy
The AGLOCO Vision #1: Free is too Expensive

Much of Web 2.0 has been about Internet companies building a simple service and then getting users to do much of the work on it (including telling all their friends about it). Once the service is popular, the founders and venture capitalists make a deal to sell it for millions (and billions) of dollars. The users who helped build it (especially the early users who often put up with clunky software and weak websites) just watch.

When we looked at this system, we saw a bad price. Sometimes free is not enough. We designed AGLOCO to reward all Members who join and with the referral system we designed it to give an extra reward to the Members who help build it.

Agloco's Plans

• Agloco plans to have 10 million users by the end of 2007
• Launch the viewbar around February 2007
• AGLOCO will file to go public the last quarter of 2007

IBM Rewrites The Memory Game By 500 Times

Imagine a memory chip that is 500 times faster than the current flash cards. Imagine a chip that uses less than one-half the power to write data into a cell. As the demand for portable storage for music, video and photo increases so is the pace of innovation. This new innovation shows that unlike flash, phase-change memory technology can improve as it gets smaller with Moore's Law advancements. The organisation behind the current innovation is the IT major IBM along with scientists from Macronix and Qimonda.

The new innovation from IBM
Scientists from IBM, Macronix and Qimonda announced joint research results on Tuesday that give a major boost to a new type of computer memory with the potential to be the successor to flash memory chips, which are widely used in computers and consumer electronics like digital cameras and portable music players.

The advancement heralds future success for "phase-change" memory, which appears to be much faster and can be scaled to dimensions smaller than flash - enabling future generations of high-density "non-volatile" memory devices as well as more powerful electronics. Non-volatile memories do not require electrical power to retain their information. By combining non-volatility with good performance and reliability, this phase-change technology may also enable a path toward a universal memory for mobile applications.

The wonder alloy
The new material is a complex semiconductor alloy created in an exhaustive search conducted at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California. It was designed with the help of mathematical simulations specifically for use in phase-change memory cells.

The semiconductor alloy can be changed rapidly between an ordered, crystalline phase having lower electrical resistance to a disordered, amorphous phase with much higher electrical resistance. Because no electrical power is required to maintain either phase of the material, phase-change memory is non-volatile. This in simple terms means more stability in storage and less crashing. Remember "volatile" memories lose their stored information whenever their power supply is interrupted.

The demand for storage
As we transcend into the electronic civilization the demand for storage increases. Data, music, photos, videos, the list is endless as everything gets into its electronic avatar. Besides on the corporate front the demand is rising, as companies require storage for emails, documents and other data, plus protection of data from calamities. The current demand is estimated at approximately $20 billion with a growth rate of approximately 10% annually.

The last word
IBM isn't the only one in the non-volatile storage market. There are also initiatives by organisations like Intel, Samsung amongst others. Just this August Toshiba and SanDisk teamed up in Japan on a $2.6 billion flash memory plant. There are several other initiatives. In IBM's case the "500 times faster" in its mini avatar promise by the new alloy is a definitive breakthrough. Looking forward to see how the product performs in actual conditions soon.

RIM Sues Samsung Over BlackJack Device

Sam Michelson was excited to hear Research In Motion Ltd. was rolling out a new BlackBerry this fall. He had a promotion for the Pearl written up on his retail website, AmericanCell.com, before the product was even released.

"The Cingular BlackBerry Pearl exceeded all expectations with its revolutionary engineering and design," the sales pitch read. Unfortunately, a writer at his company inserted a picture of the wrong smart phone on the page, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s new BlackJack device.

It was an honest mistake. Both phones are nearly identical in size, shape and colour.

"I guess we fell into the trap," Mr. Michelson said from Los Angeles yesterday. "We usually get it right."

How close to a BlackBerry is a BlackJack? Too close, according to RIM. The company has filed suit against Samsung, claiming the South Korean company has infringed on its iconic brand and engaged in unfair competitive practices.

Samsung recently launched its BlackJack smart phone in the United States with Cingular Wireless LLC. Similar to the BlackBerry Pearl, the device features mobile e-mail and Internet access, as well as a media player and camera. Inside, however, it is powered by rival software from Microsoft Corp.

RIM, of Waterloo, Ont., filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the central district of California on Friday, saying the BlackJack is deliberately seeding confusion between the two products in the marketplace. It has asked for an injunction and an unstated amount in damages.
"Samsung, by wrongfully using the BlackJack mark in commerce, is tarnishing, blurring, diluting, and/or disparaging RIM's reputation and goodwill, as well as RIM's famous BlackBerry marks," RIM said in its court filing. The allegations have not been proved.

Samsung Electronics is the world's second largest semiconductor maker after Intel Corp. Through a spokesman in the United States, Samsung said it does not comment on pending litigation.

Mr. Michelson said yesterday he was not aware of the lawsuit, but added there was definitely some confusion in his office on the part of a junior employee who mixed up the BlackBerry and BlackJack.

AmericanCell sells about 120 different cellphones on its site running on five carrier networks across the country. The company regularly prepares the text for new promotions before the products themselves are released in an effort to get search engines operated by the likes of Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. time to crawl the pages. The practice means consumers are more likely to find the pages as soon as a product is listed for sale on the site.

The advertising error was picked up by editors at Rimarkable.com, a blog that tracks events related to the BlackBerry. Readers weighing in on the posting scoffed at the idea that consumers would ever confuse the two devices, labelling RIM's suit against Samsung as "petty" and "dumb."

But RIM's lawyers argued in their 14-page complaint that Samsung was deliberately infringing on "one of the most recognized and respected brands in the industry."

The name, design and packaging of Samsung's device are aimed at inducing customers to buy the BlackJack with the false impression the device is associated with the BlackBerry, RIM alleges. The name BlackJack "constitutes false designation of origin, unfair competition, and trademark dilution in violation of the laws of the United States," the filing said.

The suit comes just as Cingular Wireless begins offering the BlackBerry Pearl on its network, two months after the device made its debut through T-Mobile USA. Cingular sells more BlackBerrys than any other phone firm in the world.

Google to Offer Variation on Stock Options

In a move that will enable its employees to earn more money from stock options — and perhaps motivate them to settle for fewer of them in pay packages as a result — Google said yesterday that it would create a system allowing options to be sold as well as exercised.

Under the program, Google will grant employees a new type of option, called a transferable stock option. The company will work with Morgan Stanley to set up a market that will enable financial institutions and other investors to bid for those options.

Experts briefed on the plan were divided on whether it might provide a useful model for other companies. But the move appears likely to reinforce Google’s reputation for financial innovation. When it went public in 2004, Google priced the initial offering through an auction, allowing any investor to get in on the offering, rather than granting assured allocations to preferred investors.
That led to an offering price of $85, which was below what some had expected. Those who bought have prospered, as the share price has risen to a high above $500. Yesterday it closed at $481.78, down $2.15, before the options plan was announced.

Google said the plan was aimed at showing employees the full value of their stock options. In addition to giving options to most new employees, Google also issues options annually to many employees who have been with the company for more than a year.

Stock options give their owner the right to buy stock for as long as 10 years at a price set when the options are granted. Google officials said they believed that employees typically underestimated their value.

“It is very difficult for employees to understand what their options are worth,” said Dave Rolefson, Google’s equity and executive compensation manager, in an interview. “If they can see what others would pay for them, then option valuation would become simple for employees.”
The new options, which will have lives of 10 years, will have the same vesting schedule as existing options, with some options vesting after 12 months and all vesting within four years. Once the options are vested, employees will be able to hold them, exercise them or sell them. They are likely to reap greater gains from selling than from exercising them.

For example, an employee who holds a vested option permitting him to buy shares at a strike price of $460, assuming the stock is trading at $482, can currently exercise the option and pocket $22. The new transferable stock option could be worth a lot more than that, because of the expectation that the stock could rise further.

Google said any options that are sold when their remaining life is greater than two years would immediately become two-year options. In those two years, the financial institution or investor buying them would not be able to sell the options in a secondary market, but would be able to use various financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in Google’s stock price.

The financial institution is likely to pay less than it would if the option life was not reduced, but much more than the employee would receive if he or she exercised the option and sold the stock.
In trading yesterday, an option to buy Google for $460 a share in January 2009, a little more than two years from now, sold for $123.50 in trading at the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, far more than the value that would have come from exercising it now. A financial institution that bought such an option now from an employee probably would pay a price below that level, but not too far below it.

Even options with strike prices higher than the value of the company’s stock — so-called underwater options — would probably have some value in the market being created, and they could be sold by Google employees. Yesterday, at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, a January 2009 option with a strike price of $520 sold for $99.80. For years, technology companies opposed efforts of accounting rule makers to force them to record as an expense the cost of options granted to employees. Since the rule went into effect last year, some have tried to change the terms of the options, or the assumptions made in valuing them, to reduce the reported expense. But Google’s change, because it will increase the expected life of the options, will raise the reported cost of each option.

In the long run, however, Google’s reported profits could climb if it is able to offer fewer options to attract and retain employees.

“We want to continue to use stock options, but we don’t want to be wasteful either,” Mr. Rolefson said. “We won’t need to use as many options to deliver the same value to employees.”

Take Your Blog to the Next Level

With WordPress blogging software and a compatible host, you can customize your blog pages and gain greater control.

If you're a new blogger, Google's free Blogger service will meet your needs. But if you're a born-to-blog pundit like me, you want additional features, personalization, and control.

Blog-o-MaticTop-flight bloggers are increasingly moving to WordPress, Automattic Productions' no-cost, open-source blogging software. Unlike the basic blogging tools found in Blogger, Microsoft's Windows Live Spaces, and Yahoo 360, WordPress offers tons of plug-ins and widgets for customizing your blog. One of my favorite WordPress features is its spam filter, which weeds out spam posted as comments. You can also make your blog private, allowing only the people you specify to read and comment on your postings.

But WordPress gives you more than a simple chronological Weblog: The program's pages feature makes it a full-blown content-management system supporting complex Web sites. For example, WordPress templates let you keep your bio, contact info, or other static content easy for your blog visitors to access.

WordPress's PHP script files require the MySQL database and PHP software running on the host server. After editing one of the scripts to include your MySQL and PHP user names and passwords, you upload the scripts to the server--and just like that, you have a blog.
If this seems like programming voodoo to you, relax. WordPress and most of its hosting partners provide point-and-click tools that have you blogging in minutes.

If you're happy using a subdomain (such as scottspanbauer.wordpress.com) rather than your own domain (www.scottspanbauer.com, for example) and don't mind an occasional text ad among your postings, you can create a free account on Automattic's WordPress.com, a blog-hosting service much like Google's BlogSpot. At the time of writing, free WordPress.com blogs were limited to 25MB of images, PDFs, and other files. The amount of text that you and your readers can post is unlimited, however. (Automattic plans to add commercial account options that increase storage.)

If you choose WordPress.com as your host, setup is a breeze. When you log in, a toolbar of configuration options appears at the top for creating posts and pages, changing themes, moderating comments, and adding links to a page's sidebar (see FIGURE 1: Customize your WordPress blog by using the point-and-click options that are available on the service's toolbar.). You can receive e-mail support from WordPress's creators, too.
For collaboration, create additional author and moderator accounts and set the blog to be invisible until it's ready.

Try the Hosts With the Most

To use WordPress to publish a blog or site on your current Web host, your hosting service must support PHP and MySQL. Independent services such as Blue Host and Laughing Squid offer WordPress support and charge as little as $7 a month; go to wordpress.org/hosting to see a list of such services. A personal note: I adore my local mom-and-pop ISP for its high levels of customer service, technical savvy, and stability, but when I broached the subject of supporting WordPress blogging, the company wasn't prepared. If I were to create a WordPress blog using my own domain name, I would probably select one of WordPress's recommended host services.

Blogging for Dollars: Cash In With Google's Adsense

If your blogging consists of posting pictures of the kids for Great-Aunt Millie to see, or detailed accounts of your bunion surgery, don't expect to strike it rich as a pro blogger. But if what you say is interesting to even a modest audience, you could receive a check each month by placing ads on your blog. One of the easiest ways to test the Web-ad waters is with Google's AdSense service, which context-matches Google text ads to your blog's content and optionally places a Google search box on your site.
