Earn Money Searching Google

This site has been around for a while but only previously used the Ask search engine. They now use Google as their main search engine!

Basically, you get paid to search Google. All you have to do is use their search bar as your main search in FireFox, like so:



The site pays with PayPal or Cheque and the currency is in GBP(£). This is pretty cool as i've never seen a site where GBP is the standard currency. Another great thing about this is that you lucky US people can pretty much double your earnings to get the dollar equivalent.

Now, a post like this wouldn't be worth anything without proof that they have paid me:



So there you have it. Go and check them out!

BBC iPlayer for PS3

Eventhough the BBC has now announced they are creating an official way to access the BBC iPlayer on the PS3, someone found a way to port the Wii version onto the PS3.

The URL is http://ps3iplayer.com and can only be viewed on the PS3's built in web browser. I've tested it myself and everything works flawlessly and you can even view in full screen, too. All the menus work great and there is not much else to comment on. A job well done to be honest.

The BBC have also apparently offered the person responsible for this a job!

Some Idiot Talking Rubbish About PS3 In MSN Article

I'm talking about this article.

What an idiot. I'm going to go through a few bits of the article to show you just how much of an idiot this guy is.

"Not the Sony diehards that would buy a polished poo if it had the Sony logo on."

Is insulting the so called "diehards" a good way to gain credibility all of a sudden? Probably not. I can't believe this crap was in his opening paragraph. I'm surprised I didn't stop reading as soon as i read that.

---

"Shameful the way that beautiful little grey box was treated. And it died a death all because of Sony’s aggressive marketing campaign."

We all know the Dreamcast died and the PS2 didn't. Does this give you the right to blame Sony for so called "aggressive marketing"? Did this guy ever think that maybe Sega should have been as "aggressive"...

---

"Firstly, the 360 came out and is as close to perfect as you can get."

Blah blah blah...obviously this guy hasn't heard of the Xbox360 failure rate.

---

"Don’t get me wrong, I may be in the employ of Microsoft to write this column, but there is no way I’m taking dirty money."

Yeah...he should have kept his mouth shut and then I might think that he is just extremely misguided.

---

"I am allowed to say exactly what I want to about any console or game."

If he's going to keep getting hired and paid by Microsoft, then I'm sure he is.

---

"Oh no, I got mine free. And I have used it precisely once."

So using a console once can let you give a decent opinion of it? Biased, much...

---

"And what the sodding hell is Blu-ray all about? That’s not even how you spell blue. It should have an ‘e’ at the end, B-L-U-E! Not Blu. Pathetic."

There's something now wrong with a company trying to create a cool/trendy product name? Where the hell did "Xbox" come from?

---

"but are people really going to dump their old DVD players to watch something that is a) only slightly better quality and b) more expensive?"

I can't believe this guy is actually writing on a tech-based website. Everyone and their Dog knows that the difference between Blu-Ray/HD-DVD and standard DVD is huge. This guy must obviously be watching his HD media on a portable TV.

---

"I even got sent a free copy of Casino Royale when I registered my PS3 online, and I haven’t watched it out of protest."

Speaks for itself, really...

---

"I lost big time in the great Betamax/VHS wars of the early 80s...Oh the shame of going into the then new video libraries and having to shuffle into a corner to spend literally seconds browsing through the Beta titles that were half-filling one tiny shelf...And do you know what? It was Sony that got me a severe kicking on several occasions in school because I didn’t have VHS. For that reason, I shall certainly NOT be supporting another nancy boy, nonsense format that Sony have just made up in an attempt to look all clever and cool. No. Not again."

Haha, so this guy doesn't like Sony because he got made fun of in school? I think there is possibly other reasons why he got made fun of in school and it certainly isn't Sony.

---

"And don’t get me started on the online services. That’s a whole rant in itself. Suffice to say, one console offers a sublime, beautiful, wondrous, joyful online experience, while the other is guff. I’ll leave it to you to try and work out which is which."

Erm...did this guy not just say he has only used his PS3 once? So how the hell would he know?

---

"Look, I’m not saying I’m never going to play PS3 again, all I’m saying is it’s going to take something pretty special to get me to try and find the controllers and start up the thing. It will happen, I just don’t know when."

Good. I hope you never play it again. This will then save us all from having to play with such an idiotic person. Afterall, idiocy of this level is quite possibly contagious.

How To: Use PS3 Controller (Sixaxis) On A PC

How To: Use PS3 SixAxis On PC - Click here for funny video clips

You've probably heard or seen pictures of this before. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about it as there wasn't really any solid evidence to suggest it was possible. But now it seems that there has been a video guide released on how to do it. I've not yet tried it myself personally, but if you follow the guide you will be using your SixAxis on a PC in a matter of minutes!

New Pay-To-Click Site Review - PayPal Payments - $5 Minimum Payout - Up To 7 Days For Payment

Just going to do a quick post now about the newest PTC site on the block. It is also now my favourite.

For those of you that do not know, pay to click sites are just basically a site where you can go to and click on ad's for around 20-30 seconds each day to earn money. Now, a lot of pay to click sites have long payment wait times (some going up to 90 days!) and often do not pay by PayPal.

This new site is like no other and offers not only payment to PayPal, but a maximum of 7 days for you to get it. I've been paid a few times by them and for me it has ranged from 3 minutes to around 24 hours. So yeah, they are pretty damn quick. The minimum payout is also only at $5 so you will be getting some pretty regular payments.

Good way to earn a bit of extra cash in my opinion.

Metropolitan Police Careers Website Hacked

It seems those crazy hackers were at it again. I got on the internet this morning and browsed my usual forums and found that someone had found that the Met Police careers website had been hacked. It took them until 9am to eventually sort it out. Now if you go to the website it seems they have taken the whole thing down...good thing i got a screenshot 'eh.

The Best Paid Survey Sites

Ok, so recently i've been looking around the net for good survey sites that pay good money and because i haven't done a post for a little while i thought i'd put up a little review of the best ones that i come across.

I will have to mention though that all of these sites have a one-time membership fee. But you know...all the good ones do as all the free ones only pay pennies whereas these sites all pay $25 !
Another good thing that comes with the one-time membership is that you know that they will pay you unlike some of the free sites that do this (and i know as i've done things like this and not been paid) :'(

I'll try to add as much information as i can about each of these survey sites...so let's get on with the list!

# - Paid Surveys Etc

Paid Surveys Etc is an awesome site and i could tell this by just looking around the internet at all the other reviews and testimonials for them...although, i have no idea why they have "Etc" in their name...seems pretty weird to me. But anyway, Paid Surveys Etc has a directory of over 500 paid survey companies!

It's pretty expensive though, as it costs $69. But for a limited time only there is a half price coupon on the site which you can freely use. There's another thing about the price too...you get given your first assignment straight away and this pays around $25 so really it's a pretty damn good deal if you ask me.

So what's special about Paid Surveys Etc?

• You get access to the largest directory of paid survey companies on the internet.
• Access to the members' only paid survey resources.


• 3 bonus products which will teach you how to get paid to read emails, get paid to drive your car, how to make money with information products and just generally how to make immense sums of money on the internet!


• Free consultation with your own success advisor when you sign up!
• Well organised directory and an easy to use interface.
• Frequently updated directory.
• 100% no-questions-asked money back guarantee for 8 weeks!

My Opinion:

To be quite honest, Paid Surveys Etc is the best paid survey sites out there and if you are new to this industry, this is probably the best place for you to start. You can head over to their site and see other people's testimonials and see how much money they make and i think that speaks for itself.

Only downside i can see with Paid Surveys Etc is that the membership is pricey. But like i said...you get it half price at the moment and you also get a high-paying survey as soon as you sign up!. Hope i didn't ramble on too much and i hope you liked my review of Paid Surveys Etc.

# - Survey Scout

Survey Scout is yet another reliable paid survey site with over 400 directories. Survey Scout enables you to take surveys that range from $5 to $75!, participate in focus groups and make up to $150 an hour, take phone surveys and earn up to $120 an hour, get paid to try new products (and keep them!), get paid to preview new movie trailers for up to $25 an hour.

As you can see, with Survey Scout you will earn a lot of cash if you put some work into it and even if you can only do it in your spare time then it doesn't matter...you can still make hundreds of dollars a month!

You can even head over to their site and take a test survey to see what it's like. Survey Scout is yet another pretty expensive site and costs $69.95 but you can get 50% off if you sign up to them by 17th February 08 (tomorrow as of writing this!)

So why should i use Survey Scout?

• Access to a huge directory of paid survey companies which pay up to $75 or more.
• All the extra information i said in the opening paragraph of this review! (just checking to make sure you read it and are still with me ;))
• 100% money back guarantee for 8 weeks!
• An easy to use website which looks pretty good too.
• Access to a directory that is kept up to date.

My Comments:

I'd say it's probably a bit of a coin toss between Survey Scout and Paid Surveys Etc if i'm honest. So there it is...i hope you enjoyed my review of Survey Scout.

# - Paid Surveys Online

Paid Surveys Online...is awesome! Seriously...they have a huge directory of over 700 companies and their surveys pay up to $125 and i've even seen someone say on a review that a disadvantage of Paid Surveys Online is that they had too many surveys and they had to turn some down!

Paid Surveys Online also have a really good members area and also have surveys that are from the UK as well as the US so it's a great site no matter where you are from. In another review i saw someone mention that they got 2 free plane tickets but i have no idea what that's all about! (sounds pretty cool though eh?). When you join them you will also be given $74.85 worth of free programs. You also get a survey worth $20 as soon as you sign up!

The price of Paid Surveys Online is normally $59.95 but is currently on offer for $34.95

Why choose Paid Surveys Online?

• A directory of over 700 paid survey companies.
• Free stuff!
• Get paid $1000 to $3000 a month for just driving your car.
• You get to try new products and get paid $10 to $25.
• Take telephone surveys for up to $125 an hour.
• Get paid to take offline surveys for $5 to $95!
• Get paid to travel and earn $100's each month for travelling!
• Sample survey on their site.
• Available in the UK.

My Comments:

While writing the review for Paid Surveys Online it's got me wondering why i'm even recommending anyone else! Just look at all the stuff thrown in with the package and at the discounted price of $34.95 it's a steal!. The website is pretty well layed out and easy on the eyes aswell which is always a bonus. I hope you found my review of Paid Surveys Online helpful.
