Registry Cleaner - RegVac

I just downloaded this tool. It successfully removed the recurring error that my computer had every time I restarted. It also removed almost 300 registry entries. This is a must download.

E-Mail Pays U - Get Paid to Read Email and for Visiting Websites!!

Ayan, get paid to read e-mail. You get it once in a while. At least meron. ;-)


Low cost web hosting solutions. Starting at $1.90 per month!

So here I was looking for a cheap web host. I saw this site which advertised a $1.90 / month hosting service. Not bad, even though there was a 12-month minimum.

And then I saw that it had a low Google & Alexa pagerank. I decided to investigate further. I found these writeups:

Eek! Always investigate.

I think the level of competition in banks needs to heighten. In the various banks that I have been to the past weeks, I found the service to be consistently slow. In the process of waiting, talking and transacting, the time spent would range from about half an hour to a full hour. Considering these are fairly simple transactions, it baffles me why so much time is wasted. Therefore I believe the banking industry consolidation along with process improvements should persist.

This should also mean that there is an opening available for non-bank financial institutions that can offer similar services more efficiently.

Welcome to the Google Desktop?

Interesting theory. The more people become comfortable with Google and its features, the more the company manages to erode Microsoft's desktop power.
