Top Free Windows Notepad Alternatives
Whack_Notepad

If you’re like the majority of Notepad users, you probably write web pages, Cascading Style Sheets or even computer software in it instead of plain old text. Notepad is limited for this kind of usage — it can’t handle very large text files well, sometimes “breaks” text by loading it improperly after you save and close, and more. It will do in a pinch, but now that there are so many free Notepad software alternatives out there with helpful extra features, you’ve got no reason to make do with the bare minimum.

TED Notepad

The self-declared Swiss army knife text editor, TED Notepad is so tiny and efficient that you can download it to your flash drive and take it with you anywhere. Simply run the .exe file directly from the flash drive — it doesn’t even need to be installed first! Features include:

    A very important aspect of a computer many computer users neglect is the security aspect. Some people don’t even know what hacking means or when their computer has been hacked. Security is even more important in today’s world when the lives of most of us depends on our computers; sure, getting a new computer might not be a problem should your computer be stolen but the real problem is recovering your files or letting it get into the wrong hands. It doesn’t matter how much you cherish your computer or how great you’ve worked hard on it if you don’t take the right security measures you will end up regretting your actions. This article will be giving you some tips to help make your computer more secure.

    Ensure it Doesn’t Get into the Wrong Hands

    The problem a lot of people have nowadays is that they trust just anybody around them and this will cost them a lot before they realize it. Because you work in a place doesn’t mean all your co-workers are your friends and except you are exceptionally careful you will have a lot of problems with them. Don’t just leave your computer with anybody except someone who has really earned your trust irrespective of how many minutes you want to go out; the truth many of us don’t want to know is that anything can happen within a minute, any crime can be committed within minutes and a lot of crimes have a great deal to do with trust.

    Make Sure Your Computer is not 2001 Years Old in 2011

    Sincerely, it pains me so much to see people using outdated software or computer firmware that was made in 2001 while expecting to get the best form of security from their computer. Software and firmware upgrades are always made for a reason and it is not because the programmers behind this don’t have time for other things or because they see it as fun but because it is highly necessary for them to make an update. A single software bug can cause a great problem for the software and the computer on which it is installed.

    Try to Educate Yourself More About Computer Security

    It doesn’t matter what you know now or what you do to make your computer secure the truth is that as technology improves so also does crime or anti-security increases. Some people make a living by causing havoc to other people’s lives and by hacking and misusing the info they get from other people’s computers so you shouldn’t expect this people to sit down and do nothing – they spend the whole of their day learning to hack and trying to protect your computer from them also requires constant learning from you. Make sure you’re subscribed to top security blogs for tips to make your computer more secure, also make sure you regularly get in touch with security experts in your area to get their opinion on what to do to make your computer more secure.

    It is almost impossible to reduce the crime rate in the world because new technologies are emerging and it is new technologies that encourage crime and stealing; however, you can make it easier for you to track any valuable object you own by installing a GPS tracker in it.

    Paypal New Rules Sucks! Indian Freelancers To Suffer The Most

     

    Update: Paypal has now lifted this limited and now users can receive funds upto $3000 at once.

    From 1 March 2011  for Indian users, PayPal is no more the easiest way to pay. PayPal team last night sent out some shocking new rules to Indian PayPal users by sending them a surprise Email last night. In the Email PayPal team stated new terms and rules for Indian PayPal users.

    So here’s the preview of that shocking mail from paypal to Indian customers.

    With effect from 1 March 2011, you are required to comply with the requirements set out in the notification of the Reserve Bank of India governing the processing and settlement of export-related receipts facilitated by online payment gateways (“RBI Guidelines”).
    In order to comply with the RBI Guidelines, our user agreement in India will be amended for the following services as follows:

    1. Any balance in and all future payments into your PayPal account may not be used to buy goods or services and must be transferred to your bank account in India within 7 days from the receipt of confirmation from the buyer in respect of the goods or services; and
    2. Export-related payments for goods and services into your PayPal account may not exceed US$500 per transaction.

    We seek your understanding as we continue to employ our best efforts to comply with the RBI Guidelines in a timely manner.

    Which means:
    1. Indian PayPal account holders cannot receive payment of more than $500 per transaction for export items and services.
    2. You will not be allowed to purchase items or services online using your PayPal account if you are in India. That means, from 1’st march 2011 you can’t use PayPal to pay for hosting charges or to buy items on web.
    3. You must transfer any funds in from PayPal to your bank account within 7 days from the receipt of confirmation from the buyer in respect of the goods or services. Even if you receive a payment in your PayPal, you will have to withdraw that within 7 days of transaction confirmation to your bank account.

    These are the new restrictions and limitations coming on PayPal from effect of 1’st March 2011 for Indian users. PayPal says these new guidelines are in order to follow the guidelines from Reserve Bank of India (RBI) due to TOS of Indian currency rotation rule.

    According to the Indian Currency Rotation Act:

    • Any company keeping money for more than  7 days have to pay interest and should be treated like a bank.
    • Any transaction which bring money more than $500 at one go, should be reported to RBI.

    Whoever is to blame, its really going to get hard for freelancers who have no Credit Card, blogger can’t use Paypal anymore to pay hosting and domain renewal. And cannot keep money for more than 7 days in their paypal account. And it will badly going to effect users who get small payments, because paypal would charge them 50 INR for transferring funds to their bank accounts. For instance you are getting a payment of $5(225INR) in your PayPal account, the after transaction fee of 50, you would get only 175INR in your bank account.  So this is a very disappointing move from PayPal and RBI.

    Lets home that they would bring some positive changes in the above rules, considering the fact that there are huge number of freelancers and bloggers in Indian who reply on PayPal for online transactions.

    Paypal India office only one branch in India which is in Chennai. If you would like to get in touch with them directly, then here’s the address and contact details.

    Paypal India Pvt Ltd
No 334, Futura IT Park, Block A,
Old Mahabalipuram Road,
Sholinganallur
Chennai - 600119

    Phone number to contact Paypal Chennai Office –
    + 91 044 66348000, +91 044 66348001

    If you are someone who is also the one suffering from the new rule then you can post your comment below.

    Image Space Media Helps Publishers Monetize Images On Their Websites.

    Updated 2017: Image Space media has stopped their service. Checkout 17 Top Adsense Alternatives for Making Money from Your Blog

    Couple of years ago, the only major source for publishers to find revenue through their site was to monetise their website with banner ads from Google Adsense and there wasn’t many ad options available to optimise the ads. Over the years, advertising media has improved a lot with innovative ideas for attracting customize and to find a better advertising niche. Most of you must have already using new monetising platforms like in-text ads and in-video ads.

    You might also like:

    Apart from In-text and In-video ads publishers can monetize their image content in their websites to earn a partial income. Image Space Media (formerly Picad Media), is one such in-image ad network that helps publishers monetize images on their websites with ad overlays. They were first to experiment in-image advertising strategy for publishers. They recently upgraded its platform to include a detailed analytics platform and they have partnered with a reputable ad feed that will monetize your international traffic. The below is the example of ImageSpaceMedia in action.

    They have also implemented a ‘share‘ feature which helps to drive traffic within your site, adds additional income through new banner ad space, and allows viewers to share your images through their Facebook, Twitter, and email.

    Image Reporting and Payment Threshold

    Users can track their ad performance and earnings from PubStop platform, the tool allows publishers to value which of their images are yielding higher earnings. The publisher can login to their account dashboard and can get a detailed report on the total ad impressions, total clicks, CTRs, eCPMs, number of images. The minimum payment threshold is 25$ which will be payable via Paypal.  I’ve given a thumbs-up for ISM and have started monetizing images in this site from today. Below you can see the screenshot of my image reporting page.

    Since this year they have implemented rich media ad formats apart from text only ads. Since their rival GumGum has shutdown recently, ISM expects a better market reach. Though it looks interesting I’d probably have to wait and see how good it can get in the coming days. However, I don’t believe I can make consistent income from in-image ads as it is yet to become social and popular. Do share in comments how do you rate in-image ads and do you consider implementing it in your site to monetize image?
