How to Get Rich
Hey, it’s the new year and why not put up a post to aid a common new year resolution. I personally committed that I’d be earning a lot more money and be “richer” by the end of the year. And I’m quite inspired to reach that goal for this year. We’ve previously created this post on how to make money but without good financial decisions even that wouldn’t translate to being rich. Here are some ideas on how to get rich. And no, we won’t suggest buying lottery tickets and other get-rich-quick schemes. We do believe in putting effort and hard work.
Firefox News: Downloading Firefox Fights Boredom
“Rise up. Help others download a more interesting life.” How’s that for Firefox’s campaign to make people download and use the browser. And Mozilla seems to be going all out in this one complete with a website, an anthem and crazy stats on Firefox users like: * 123% more likely to be a student * 35% less likely to be expecting a grandchild in the next year * 15% more likely to have watched cartoons on TV within the last seven days * 21% less likely to fish And the anthem? It’s got lines like: But some people make choices in life, that turn out pretty lame Sitting at home …
How to Clean Grout without Scrubbing
If you can forage mushrooms in your bathroom, then it’s time to clean up, you filthy pig. Okay, so I’m exaggerating (or am I?). But cleaning your bathroom can really be a chore. And one of the most difficult things to clean in your bathroom would probably be the grout that holds your tiles. Take a look at yours, it shouldn’t be black or moss green or fungal gray. The nasty thing is, you have to put in some intense scrubbing to get into those nooks and crannies. But here’s one technique to help you deal with grout without having to break that arm with scrubbing.
Firefox Quick Tip: Launch Tabs via Run Command in Vista
Since we’re all waiting for the big release of Firefox 3, here are some more neat tricks you can do with Firefox. Here’s one for the keyboard ninjas out there who would want a faster way to launch Firefox with sites in tabs. You can simply do this via the Run command in Windows. Access the Run window. For keyboard ninjas, it’s a quick Windows Key + R. Type in firefox domain1.com domain2.com domain3.com and so on. Hit Enter and watch Firefox launch with all the domains as tabs. I’ve only tried this on Vista and not in older Windows versions but I guess it would work. In fact, you …
Has Warner Bros. Killed HD-DVD?
Back to the question that we’ve posted last year on this blog, but with a look at the other side of the story. Our “Has Sony Killed Blu-ray with No-porn Policy?” made its round in some discussions. Many experts say that the hi-def wars is quite moot. How big is is the adult industry and how big is Warner Bros for them to really factor in th war? The first question has proven to be irrelevant since hi-def p*rn hasn’t really clicked both in the industry and the market. In fact, online adult video streaming sites have made a real blow on video sales. So now, let’s look into this …

The devil wears Prada, and sometimes, Versace. It’s bad enough to be ignored by a pretty woman. It’s worse when that woman is as sharp as her heels. Gorgeous career women are hard to get.

White Wedding: Get Hitched in Winter
Getting hitched in this weather? Why not? The white frost is just as romantic as it is dangerously biting cold. If you like the idea of having a different wedding style, far from the usual spring-inspired nuptials, then maybe you should book now while it’s still snowing out. Now you can easily have a white-wedding.
Office Tip: Select Text Vertically in Word 2007
I wonder why all my books on Microsoft Office never pointed this out and it took How-to Geek to show us this neat trick in Word 2007 – selecting text vertically. This is pretty useful when editing lists. I’m not really sure if “vertical” is the right term for this feature since it actually allows you to click and drag diagonally to make the selection. All you have to do is to press and hold down the Alt key then clicking and dragging over the selection. You can use this not just for lists but it’s pretty hard to do with paragraphs since words are necessarily of the same length …
Windows Tip: How to Access the Hidden Browser in XP
This is one great “hack” if you happen to need to browse the Internet but the dastardly administrators just blocked out the use of Internet Explorer and prevented you from installing software like Mozila Firefox. If using a standalone browser via USB flash drive (Don’t you just want to throttle people when that happens as well.), then you might want to use this. The peeps from Hackosis brings us this neat workaround in Windows XP. Launch Calculator (either through the Start Menu or the keyboard ninja way Windows Key + R and type calc then hit Enter) In Calculator, click Help -> Help Topics Right-click on the left hand side …
