Process at Home Job As Amazing as it Sounds?

There has long been a desire by many to work from the comfort of their own homes. When that kind of opportunity is coupled with the prospect of making money quickly and easily on the internet, it seems so good that people often buy right into it before doing the research first. The appeal of such "jobs" is now greater than ever. "Process at Home", by Angel Stevens, is one that has been getting a considerable amount of attention lately.

The description given makes it seem like all one has to do to earn up to $15 per rebate is very simple: process rebates! What does it cost to buy into this deal?: $197. And what do you get when you pay your dues? A list of companies who want you to process rebates for them from wherever you want? Nope; you get instructions to sell products from various companies and offer a rebate to your customers. The rebate then comes out of your commission. Still sound like a great opportunity? It might just be, but it's nothing out of the ordinary, and it's definitely deceptively advertised.

So, what's that rule we often ignore? Yep, that's right: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

If you still want to take a look at the Process at Home website, it's at processathome.com. But let me warm you, there isn't much there at all. In fact, they now claim to no longer be accepting any new members... I wonder why?...

More info here, and here from someone who actually bought into it, tried it, and returned it for a refund.

Bluetooth headsets can get pretty pricey, but the recently released Samsung WEP210 stands out among the rest. Usually you have to sacrifice a significant number of features if you're going to buy a Bluetooth headset that costs any less than $40 or so. The Samsung WEP210 gives you a great balance between cost and function. Actually, it really doesn't seem to be lacking much at all for around $19.99. It is hands-down the best value I have come across lately.

Here are the highlights:
  • Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity
  • 5.5 hours talk time / 70 hours standby time
  • Weighs only 9 grams
  • Fits in either ear
  • Multi-function button for many operations such as voice dialing, redialing, and rejecting calls
  • Omni-directional microphone picks up the speaker's voice clearly
  • Travel charger and User Manual Included
  • Works with both Samsung and other Bluetooth-enabled phones
You can get one directly from Amazon for 19.99 plus shipping, and will be eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping if you spend over $25.

If the WEP210 will be your only Amazon purchase, your best deal will be from WorldWide Distributors, an Amazon merchant (click this link and scroll down to view the Featured Merchants). They even have a very respectable 98% positive feedback rating, out of 21115 total lifetime ratings, and are currently selling it for $10.31 plus $9.33 for shipping, totaling $19.64 ... not bad huh?

What do you think? Anyone going to order one of these or have one already?

If hiding your last login wasn't enough privacy for you, here is a way to also hide your friends and comments on MySpace. Just copy the code below and paste it into the "About Me" section of your MySpace page:

<style type="text/css">
.friendSpace {display:none;}
.friendsComments {display:none;}
</style>
Again, this code is the only code you need to accomplish this task. Be on the lookout for other sites which may give you code that includes advertisements. This code does not include any advertisements!

If you don't want anyone to know when you were last logged into you MySpace account, there is actually something you can do about it.

Simply add the following code to the "Headline" section of your MySpace page (just copy the text below and paste it into the "Headline" section):

<font style="display:none;">

Note: The above code is the only code you need. Other sites may tell you to add additional code or information into your "About Me" section. Keep in mind it is not necessary and often includes advertisements for the site you obtained it from. The short line of code I provided above does not do this.

ZillionTV : Free Internet-Powered TV

ZillionTV is a startup company with the apparent goal of bringing free internet-powered television and movies to all. They will be releasing a "Z-bar" device that connects to the internet and your television ... think of it as a type of cable box, with a remote and all. You'll be able to get it on the internet via WiFi, or you can hard wire it with a standard ethernet network cable. ZillionTV will continue the trend of ad-supported content streaming for free, but will also offer fee-based content without the ads. They currently have deals with major companies like NBC Universal, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, ABC/Disney, and fox, which should provide for some great content. Deals made with internet service providers will allow for a useful channel to sell the devices. Unlike Apple TV, Vudu, and Roku, no subscription will actually be required.

The unit will cost under $50, and allow access to up to 15,000 TV shows and movies.

ZillionTV's official website humbly asks everyone to "stay tuned" for now, but the Z-bar is expected to be available for purchase toward the end of this year.
