Rebates checks prepaid credit card from promotional rebates are here and keep on coming

buy tech stuff for free after rebate it really work resell potential money making opportunity

That’s right. Total 3 checks and 8 prepaid rebates promotional credit cards I’ve received, small amount, but enough for me to use it to buy for similar item at the whole rebate card price. My hard work experiment paid off 🙂 heheheheh. Last night my address label and stamps.com printer doesn’t seem to print the stamp correct, I think I wasted a couple dollar of good stamp and labels, and still not fix, I hope it’s not the paper label roll I purchased probably had wrong alignment, the printer is Dymo LabelWriter TwinTurbo, it was working well for years, now it’s not. Got to get it fix soon or I will have to go to the office and buy stamps. going back to the rebate, just keep track of your rebate, and follow up after 4 weeks, ensure to have copies, they might ask you to resubmit or fax. The following companies sent me rebate on time. The best one are Kingston, Coorsair and ZotacUSA.

ASUS
AVG
NORTON
GIGABYTE
COORSAIR
KINGSTON
ZOTAC

Refill pin credit for gophone prepaid phone at&t scam fraud using stolen credit card

gophone at&t refill scam fraud on forums craigslist ebay.com

This one is serious, some GoPhone users reported that AT&T or other carriers will shut off your phone, meaning your whole phone # will be terminated due to this fraud scam. OK, so what is this? – This a scam or fraud by hackers or by anyone in the world, and probably outside of US, what they do is, using stolen credit card #, they use those credit card to buy GoPhone refill pin or pin gift # and sell it to you for cheap, let say $25 refill, they will sell to you for about $15 $16 just to make reasonable and doesn’t have much scam or fraud indication, they hope to get a lot of people will buy it because it’s so cheap, and if many people doesn’t about this, they would buy it and use it, and yes your phone will work and credit will show – But, guess what? Your phone company provider let’s take AT&T for example, will shut your phone off because you violated their policy, somewhere on the small print will indicate this activities. Ebay is trying to catch these activites as well, not just craigslist and forums communities users, it’s very bad whoever doing this kind of business. If you find deal too good to be true, it’s probably not true, there’s a catch, it will haunt you. So for this case, phone card refill, I say stay away from GoPhone and pay as you go crap, get yourself a monthly plan or add to another trusted person plan for $10 a month, it’s so cheap now a day, don’t go for these cheap refills too good to be true or if it’s true but it’s not. So be careful 🙂 Especially on ebay classifieds – Don’t buy virtual products on classifieds post, buy it through ebay process not the link on the classifieds, this includes forums, craigslist and email.

Vietnam listed on top list of Internet Enemies around the world for 2012

internet enemies vietnam listed Without Borders presents the worst violators of freedom of expression on the Net

That’s right, news came out recently listed Vietnam as one of the country on top list of internet enemies, China used to be or still is with Vietnam. What does that mean? well as many know, stolen credit cards “the chua”, stolen identification social security #, CDL, passport, visa, address, bank account, paypal, you name it, Vietnamese hackers used to do all that easily – For instant, they would use a credit card stolen and buy items either shipped to their home country in Vietnam or to a friend in USA, however these has already blocked, so it’s pretty hard maybe next to impossible to do now in the USA, the shipping address must match with the billing address. Even in the USA some hackers or want to be hackers are trying the same thing, stolen information such as bank account or credit card and use it to buy stuff ship to PO box or usps pick up location and so on. Anyhow, being on a top list of internet enemies to the world is not a good thing, companies and other hackers are monitoring Vietnam, the attack could be from the inside or outside, depend. If someone message you either chat, paltalk, forum, email ,, etc … and ask you to be friend and soon later asking you for a favor, watch out! don’t do it, don’t believe their stories, don’t trust their profiles, pictures, etc… you don’t know who they are, better yet – just stay away socializing people on the internet if you don’t know what you’re doing or in to.

MS SQL Studio or Brio Intelligence?

Wow what a busy day today at work. Although working remotely, sometime I feel over-work or just too much focus, no one around to talk to vs. being at the office always have your co workers next to you to talk to, although it could bad co worker but still can have a few jokes. Today was busiest day yet, one of the report query I created in Brio Intelligence doesn’t seem to work anymore, found the root cause with a little bit of help from help desk or no help at all lol. Found a table I link the relationship data too wasn’t work too well, text field vs. fact field, so it does take longer to run. Took sometime to trouble shoot but oh man, I’m proud of myself, nothing I cannot figure out lol NOT! heheheh. Wonderful weather today I can see many people joking, walking, walking their dog and I hate those dog or dog owners doesn’t take responsibilities after their dog, they poop all over the yard and ignore it, I can be mean by getting a BB gun or something and shoot it, it’s legal since they’re on my yard, hahahah, but I’m not that mean, maybe I should get an underground wire that emits frequencies to keep those dogs away. I don’t know why but dog seems to like mail box, they poop on it, sniff on it and pee on it, and I mean the mailbox pole bottom.

Yahoo Calendar is a good tool to use to track and schedule your todo at certain time and date

free yahoo calendar schedule appointments reminders via cell phone text instant message notification easy to use

I’ve been using yahoo email for a great while, I guess ever since yahoo went public. In additional I’ve also been using Yahoo Calendar as well, over years yahoo improves its services such as Yahoo email plus and also enhanced its calendar. What I use yahoo calendar are, schedule certain task to occur at certain time and date and send me a text message or IM chat message or email notification, on cell phone text sms mms instant message. It’s pretty cool, kind of remind me what to do and so on. Now a day many people have many things to do running errands and stuff, with technology mayb people saids it’s making us lazier I have to disagree with that, most people like, have many things to do, many things to remember, so this tool help me greatly to schedule meeting, pay bills, reminders of certain tasks, and so on. I don’t believe it’s currently encrypted, but none of mine stuff are confidential anyways. If you want secure, you can try google gmail it also has calendar and probably better one faster, but I got use to yahoo already and haven’t been able to find a reason to move to gmail google calendar yet 🙂 Remember to use comment sense when accessing your account, always type in the browser gmail.com or mail.yahoo.com to access your account, don’t click on bookmark or links notify via email or something … be safe!

Reinstall Windows XP on any old or current compatible laptop or computers drivers

all hardware firmware bios windows drivers auto search download and install instantly

Lost recovery software CD DVD? don’t know the drivers to use? wasting too much time looking for correct drivers for your laptop desktop PC? Windows? Well. You’re not a lone 🙂 hehehe. Here are my personal tips on getting any old or even new laptop or desktop pc computers reinstalled with windows XP fast and all drivers updated. First simply install OEM Windows XP, and most drivers will not be installed. After installing your windows xp os, check to see if your network card is installed? if not install network card and ensure you can get on into the insternet using network cable rj45 wire (not WIFI). Second, download Driver Genius or driver detective or similar, what these software does is look for the missing drivers for your computer, – download it – and install it for you. To secure a computer from hackers, viruses, malwares, adwares, ddos attack ect … – Install Malwarebytes, and another anti virus software such as Norton Symantec or mcafee whatever you can afford or find.I work on a lot of computers and laptop. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of ebay buy used or broken laptop and do a quick turn around few bucks profit, the profit isn’t much, but it’s fun for me, keeping my mind sharp. It’s not really all about the profit, the way I look at it is old laptop computers still working but company people throwing them away, why not fix it up and use it for internet, now a day many applications are web-base, so as long as you have a computer that can connect to the internet and a secure browser that work smoothly, that is all most people need, such as paying bills, check credit card bank account balance, email, news, research … and so on.

Techbargains.com is awesome but watch out for expired ads or wrong pricing

techbargains reviews cheap technology products march 2012

If you’re into technology products, you probably know techbargains.com I think it’s a great site. They did all the analysis on the price already so all you do is just wait for the item you would like to buy advertised. Most items if not all are technology products such as laptop computer parts accessories software camera and so on. Even better sometime in addition on the great price, they also have coupons or rebates mail in, that even help you save more. If you use techbargains, I recommend to use alert features basically what it does is it alert you on the specific item you would like to buy published, this way you don’t have to check the website every few minutes or so often. The alert can be send to your cell phone device as well. Some people even reported making money by buying it cheap then resell it on craigslist.com ebay to make small profit, but if profit is $5 an item, and if you resell 10 items per day that’s $50 profit pocket money there. Anyhow I recommend techbargains.com but watch out, read carefully on the ads. Some time and it’s very rare, but it does happen, check the price on your check out total price, ensure it match or as cheap as you want, before paying for the item.

Trend Micro software is not so popular on ebay selling including its security and antivirus software

trend micro security and antivirus software popularity march 2012

As I search through ebay, the most popular security and antivirus software hot seller and maintain its $value are Norton, Mcafee and Kaspersky. I wonder why Trend Micro isn’t that great, Trend Micro at one time I believe was FREE antivirus and security software, then somehow now they charge as much as other companies. So I wonder if Trend Micro initially started with just a few employees doing the research and development on their software, then gradually increases its research and development on the software and start charging money. While Mcafee, Norton, Kaspersky, been around for a long time and they large company with lots of employees and their customers are coporations big companies, this is true for mcafee and norton I’m sure, KAspersky might be smaller. I noticed there are lots of antivirus and security software out there, such as Bitdefender is also good, and many other smaller one such as Malwarebytes … I think it’s better to buy from big securities companies such as mcafee, since they monitor and update research and development constantly.

Yahoo will be laying off thousand of employees March 2012

Just read some news indicated that Yahoo will lay off thousand of employee. No surprise, I don’t see the economy picking up anytime soon. I still see people getting lay off, people with high education and smart are working temporary at local super market or on unemployment. Very sad indeed. Yahoo is a pretty powerful company, I believe they went out or exist online before google went public. I thought I heard news that alibaba will buy yahoo.com, that doesn’t seem right, but I guess with money we can buy most everything. It’s tough now a day, I feel lucky to even have a job, but other co workers asked to me to ask for a raise 🙂 I wouldn’t dare :). I wonder if the company I submitted mail in rebate been 3 months and they haven’t send me a rebate check, wondering if they lay off that department, or company filing bankruptcy, I think it was xigmatek usa .com something.

An i5 laptop computer only cost as low as $429 now a day wow

cheap i5 laptop lowest price ever march 2012

Well today is March 5th 2012, and the price of an i5 laptop computer only cost $429 from tigerdirect. And it’s brand new, not refurbish, and it’s from one of the brand name MSI, I think they’re good, I believe they make mother board, manufacturer. An i5 chip is from Intel, so no matter what the laptop brand is, it’s still an intel i5 chip, the speed and reliability I think is the same, I don’t understand why anyone would buy brand name. The laptop could have been assembled in Vietnam which has cheap labor, then sends to USA, then US remanufacture or QA or simply put it’s brand name on it such as Sony, ASUS, … and so on, so now it’s their brand although assembled in Vietnam. Anyways, I think $429 for an i5 cpu laptop is super cheap today. Maybe few months later it will even go down further, which will not be a surprise 🙂
