AdSense Alternatives

First off, AdSense can be a terrible program. Particularly when handling "click-bombing" and "invalid clicks". So, people like me who are hoping to get a career are looking for low-maintenance alternatives.I found two, and hopefully, you can benefit from this too. Our first candidate is Clicksor. Clicksor is an advertising program, that advertises with text/link ads, and pop-ups. Clicksor is a bit on the "low-paying" side, but it works fine, and is a great platform. As far as ease-to-use, this platform will require you to have experience with coding and html. Still, the process is pretty straight forward. The next platform is Chitika. Chitika will require you to apply, and later hopefully be approved. Overall the system is pretty much the same, besides getting in. Hopefully between these two, you can make a decision on which you would like to use; or stick with AdSense.

Google Music!

Today, Google hosted a special announcement event called "These go to Eleven". In the event, the main attraction was Google Music. Google Music is officially released; no longer a beta. There are some awesome changes now, too. Your Google Music can be accessed at music.google.com. You can access that from any browser, even the iOS browser. There is also integration with the Android Market. There you will be able to buy "millions of songs", says Google. Of course, these features will only be available to people with their Android's updated to 2.2, and running the newest Android Markt version. Also, there will be a "free song of the day" similar to what Amazon does. Google wraps all of their software together, as what you listen to on Google Music, shows up on your Google+ stream. This stuff is pretty exciting, therefore, I'll be getting my Google Music set up ASAP. So, what about you? Will you be sticking with iTunes? Or is this even an iTunes competitor? Tell us in the comments below.

Learning HTML

So, A few months ago, I decided I wanted to learn some HTML. In my quest to try and learn, there were a few things that helped me learn, and I'm here to share them with you.     Our first method; Google Chrome's "Inspect Element" tool. This tool can help you in so many ways, from HTML to advanced web design, you can learn how websites are coded. This is more of a resource for examples, rather than a solid guide to HTML, but is a lovely thing, that you should use to your advantage. Next, we have an awesome website, called w3schools.com. At w3schools, there are tons of free tutorials and walkthroughs for HTML, Java, CSS, and much more. Finally, we have the simplest, and most common way to learn. Buy a book on it. There are books on just about anything, and a book is a go to source for any needed information. If you know of any sources or methods of learning, please tell us in the comments below.

Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus Specs!

So, last night, Samsung announced their extremely hyped Galaxy Nexus. Yes, Galaxy Nexus, not Nexus Prime, like all the rumors pointed to. This Galaxy Nexus will have a 4.65 inch-screen, with a display resolution of 1280 x 720p (Super AMOLED HD). It's like an HDTV, in your pocket! For RAM, it's holding 1GB, and for storage options, the Nexus will come in two different versions; 16GB, and 32GB. The Galaxy Nexus wil also be using LTE, and possibly, soon, HSPA+. The Galaxy Nexus will not be available in any different color options; only black. There is aso a 1750mAh battery aboard the deviceThe only thingI am weary of about this phone is the camera, which will be a 5MP back-facing camera, with 1080p video recording. For the front-facing camera, it wil stay pretty standard for font-facing cameras; 1.3MP. Now, the Galaxy Nexus will be running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. One new feature is FaceUnlock. FaceUnlock will be able to recognize your face to unlock the device. There will be a little different design for the lockscreen, and homescreen, but nothing mind-blowing. That's pretty much the Galaxy Nexus! So, will you be getting one of these soon? Or maybe getting an iPhone 4S? Tell us in the comments below.
