If you are a long time reader then you know that occasionally I will write a sponsored post. These are paid for by PayPerPost which pays me and thousands of other college types to write posts and place ads on blogs. This is better than the usual job because I get to pick when I work and what I am going to do. The money I earn goes into my paypal account (see the donate link on right J ) and usually goes towards buying books. Some writers with really popular blogs make thousands a month. You could potentially make just as much or more!
If you own a wireless device or phone with Java support you can begin using Opera Mini 4 beta today. In comparison to Pocket Internet Explorer in Windows Mobile it rocks. You will need java support on your device. If you are a pocket pc owner and you do not have a midlet manager or java micro environment download and install this. After installing the midlet manager, download and install the .jar file from the Opera site below. I really suggest trying it out. I am very happy with this new version.

If it’s collective then that means that someone has to have it or everyone has it all at once and if it were lost then who would you hold responsible?)
Slashdot tells us about an article at wired about 8 of the major ISPs and their privacy ratings. Check it out to see how yours is fairing and whether you should be faring towards a different ISP. Much of the conclusion is opinion based impressions when lack of data was present. But it seems that my ISP is doing the best out of all of them.
