According to the guy over at Cyberwyre, the highest paying search terms are below (or if you are reading from the front page, click the article title or the "Read More" link), in CANADIAN currency. Even so, some of these values are quite amazing, and hopefully you can use them for something, like article inclusion, when they are on the topic. Click on a term to do a Google search to learn more about it, so that
you can include it in an article accurately and effectively.

I finally got around to updating my satellite TV article after I got an email from a reader asking why it wasn't working. Turns out the software has slightly changed, and I had to update my article accordingly. To read it, just click the menu item at the left entitled "Satellite," and why not Digg It and Tweako It while you are at it?

Those of you who run Proxies, whether via Tor, a regular proxy server, or by browser-based proxies (php and css circumventors), I must first thank you for providing a service that unobstructs the internet for those of us who must deal with terrible software like Websense.
I do have one request/suggestion, though. As Websense tends to block websites by scanning both the content, URLs, the site address, and more, I request that the operators of the site(s) modify them in these slight ways:
- Replace or obfuscate the word "proxy" and all forms of it in all of the URLs, text, etc. Websense and other filters block sites that even mention the word "proxy." Replace it with p roxy, or circumventor, a random string of characters, etc. Keep your logo the same, as the filters aren't that smart.
- Allow https transmissions over your site. This will keep those of us who are monitored from being monitored, as the traffic is well-encrypted.
- Have an ip-only version of your site, perhaps using mod_rewrite to rewrite all of the links from yourname.com/index.php to 0.0.0.0/index.php so that the filters don't block by words contained in your domain.
- A combination of number 3 and 4 would be great, and would really make sure that we can surf without being monotored or blocked in any way.
I would like to see this happen with popular hacking sites as well, as there is nothing wrong with them. Hacking itself isn't bad. Hacking is knowledge, and good/bad depends on how you use it.
Please spread the word to your friends online who run proxy, hacking, and other commonly blocked sites that are really acceptable.

Although Rockbox works on multiple devices, I am going to focus on the iPod, mainly because I have one and it is what the majority of people today own.
iPodLinux is obviously an incarnation of Linux, and Rockbox is a firmware written from scratch. They are meant to be firmware replacements, although I find them to be good supplementary firmwares, not just for the cool factor of having Linux on your iPod, but the fact that you are triple booting your iPod as well. The easiest way to have either one of these is to install the other, because they complement each other, as the iPodLinux bootloader allows you to choose iPodLinux, Rockbox, the Apple Firmware, or disk mode. You can add other items to the bootloader as needed, because many applications for iPodLinux are required to be boot outside of iPodLinux's GUI.
Enough of my hot air, let me give you the lowdown on some of the features of these two amazing implementations of Linux:
- YOU CAN PLAY DOOM ON YOUR iPOD!!!
- If you choose to use one of these replacement firmwares as your primary, you can just drag and drop mp3 and other audio files onto the iPod
- You can play FLAC, OGG, SHN, and other popular lossless audio codecs
- Video playback is possible in Rockbox through Pluginmpegplayer
- There are tons of free opensource add-ons for both iPL and Rockbox, including games, text editors, drawing applications, and more (play Bejeweled, breakout, PAC-Man (iPL has a MAME port you can play, and development is going on for iNES))
- The sky's the limit, as you can pretty much make your iPod do anything, within reason
For a list of applications for iPodLinux, click here.
For a list of applications for Rockbox, click here.
The easy thing about it is that you don't have to do a bunch of manual repartitioning on your iPod to get this done (unless you only use Linux or Mac, in which case I believe there are installer scripts), because there is a Windows installer for iPodLinux. Once it is installed, their wiki contains a guide on how to install Rockbox following the installation of iPodLinux. The forums and wiki on both development sites are very useful if you get stuck, but I must admit that this is a cool concept!
What are you wating for? Go try these out!
Note:THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BRICK YOUR iPod DOING THIS, UNLESS THE HARD DRIVE FAILS OR SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THAT! IT DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY, PROVIDED YOU RESTORE IT TO FACTORY CONDITION BEFORE YOU SEND IT IN FOR SERVICE!

A friend suggested this, so I thought I would go ahead and post it:
To whoever it is that makes Pez dispensers, I have a great idea for a new product for you: French Revolution Pez Dispensers! Think about it! Have a dispenser with a little red guillotine with a body laying in it, with a pool of blood surrounding the base, a head version of Jaques Necker, as well as Marie Antoinette (have a non-decapitated and decapitated version). I think that the Marie Antoinette series would sell pretty well, following the recent movie about her. Alongside that, think of how much candy people would want to purchase, so that they can have her spit their candy out into their hands or mouths? You would make millions! To further illustrate my point, I present the un-decapitated version of Marie Antoinette:
What do you think? I don't care if you use this idea, as I don't consider it "mine." Go ahead and make these dispensers! Other companies already make novelties like this, but nobody but the Pez company could do something like this!
