Zune Q&A: All You Need To Know
We don’t usually write about those things, but since yours truly is an aspiring blogger himself, and i figured out we’ve got to have some webmasters reading this blog, i thought reviewing ReviewMe is quite a good idea.
The concept is simple - Advertisers seeking traffic and linkage will submit their site to be reviewed by one of the blogs listed in the directory, when a blog author approves the review offer, he has 48 hours to post about it.
There are 3 main things i like about ReviewMe:
1. Simple registration & interface - bloggers know if their blogs were accepted to the inventory immediately, they know how well they are ranked, how much is ReviewMe charging for a review on their site and how much will they get for each review they make. It all depends on their rankings, which is set by: Alexa, Technorati, RSS Subscribers and PR.
2. Fairness - Not only that you are not required to say positive things about a site, advertisers are also forbidden from asking you to do so. Your review can be very honest and straightforward, but you should always remember to keep it constructive. You are also required to state that the post is sponsored in some way.
3. Instant money! - ReviewMe allocated $25,000 for promotion, which means that if your blog got accepted, you can start making money instantly by reviewing…RevieMe itself! this means that this post itself is sponsored, and honest in the same time.
This project is created by the same guy who also formulated the excellent Text Link Ads, a service offering both average and high trafficked sites decent monetization, check it out as well.
IMPORTANT update: dot com mogul John Chow has found some flaws in the ReviewMe system, you may want to check them out.
Now here’s something i wish was out for my Creative player. The iTurbo Portable iPod Charger ($30-$35) offers an on-the-go life boost for your iPod, whether it’s a regular, Nano, or even a 5th generation video iPod.
The iTurbo uses an AA battery to charge your iPod, it has an on/off button that will allow you to play your iPod for another reasonable amount of time, depends on what kind of iPod you’ve got. It plugs to the iPod through USB and as tiny as a lip balm tube.
Available for both white and black.
I don’t know where does Gizmodo bring this stuff from, but here’s an interesting graph for you.
A $30 HP #45 black ink cartridge gives you 42ml, pricing out to $0.71/ml. Meanwhile, blood apparently costs $200 for 500ml from the Red Cross, pricing out to $0.40/ml.
With more and more people looking to add ambiance into their bathrooms, for some known and some unknown reasons, this item might actually become a mainstream in a while.
This illuminated, self standing, polyethylene bathtub is sure to add drama to your bathroom. Available with internal multicolored, programmable LED light unit, or with a regular light fitting.

Playstation 3 isn’t out just yet, but some lucky bastards people got to play it earlier in NYC. As expected, browsing the web without a keyboard isn’t like having a keyboard, but adopting to the sixaxis PS3 controls wouldn’t be too hard for pretty much anyone.
