Agloco - Own the Internet
27/Mar/2007 11:12 AM Filed in: Fun
There are tons of social networking sites. You might have your own favorite. But Agloco is somewhat different and takes the concept of revenue sharing from Metacafe. It is promising to share the income they get with you. It is not fully functional yet as it is still in Beta (what a surprise), so all you have to do is sign-up for now. I'm guessing the earlier you sign up the better, because once it gets more popular most of your friends will have already signed up. We will see how it turns out in the near future.

News on Adobe CS3
26/Mar/2007 12:02 PM Filed in: Warez
Wow, 2 days before the official Adobe announcement, details of the new Adobe Creative Suite 3 are already posted on Amazon.com including screen shots, pricing(well you probably don't care about that), and the most importantly availability date. Well, don't make me disappoint you, but you probably won't get your hands on any of those softwares until they hit stores on...uh...let's say, April 20th, 2007(at least that's what Amazon says), that also includes the new Photoshop CS3 which should supposedly be available right after the March 27th event, oops.
It's God's Work, So Don't Even Bother to Try

Let's face it, you certainly wouldn't point your
finger at the coffee table sitting in your living
room and say that you wanted it so badly, that's just
not the case. Why? Because you already own it. We
want things we don't possess, things that requires
efforts to be payed in order to get hold of. But what
happens if someone decides that he/she can offer you
things that would presumably appear on your wish list
in the future before your own damn brain tells you
that you wanted it. In other words, make you own
something before you begin the natural process of
wanting it. The answer is simple, you never want it
anymore like you otherwise would, because that person
who put the thing in your hands has just ruined it
for you, that's right, you think it's helping? it's
not helping. And when that person has kindly planed
out everything single element in your future for you,
congratulations, now your life is ruined too.
Google Personalized Homepage Gets Dynamic Themes [ Edit ]
Everybody thinks Netvibes.com is better than Google Personalized Homepage, you know, not technically, but visually. I thought I might be able to come up with some kind of a better solution for google, but now it looks like google engineers have done their homework already, and the consequence is pretty satisfying.
What's dynamic about those themes? According to google, for each different theme you select, the top image will change base on your local time or weather condition (but can't get both ATM). If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. It's fun!
[Edit]
Google Operating System has reported some special easter eggs found in the new themes.
When you go to Google Personalized Homepage at 3:14 am, and you have chosen one of the new themes (except Bus Stop and Classic), you will see something special.
• Seasonal Scape (Winter) - Aurora (northern lights)
• City Scape - some UFOs and Aliens flying around
• Sweet Dreams - Pi Star (ahh, 3:14->3.14->Pi?)
• Tea House - Are those ghosts? Oh, I am feeling cold…
