Why Did Bill Gates Retire Now?

Do you want to know why Bill Gates have to retire now? Here is why … Bill Gates has decided to Sell OFF Microsoft.

A Letter from Banta Singh of Punjab addressed to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft is responsible for the Decision.

THE LETTER
========

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button ’start’ but there is no ’stop’ button. We request you to check this.
2. We find there is ‘Run’ in the menu. One of my friends clicked ‘run’, he ran up to Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to ’sit’, so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any ‘re-scooter’ is available in system? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ‘ find’ button, but were unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that?

6. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows ‘My Computer’: when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says ‘My Pictures’ but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE‘ what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’ since I use the PC at home only.

9. You provided ‘My Recent Documents’. When you will provide ‘My Past Documents‘?

10. You provide ‘My Network Places’. For God sake please do not provide ‘My Secret Places’. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,

Banta

P.S
Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

Did you get it?

Google Adsense Referrals is Retiring

Google is retiring the Adsense Referrals program with effect from the last week of August 2008.

Google said their Google Affiliate Network will permit publishers to apply for advertiser programs but get paid based on advertiser-defined actions, instead of clicks or impressions.

For those who are currently displaying Adsense Referrals program, the publisher is to replace them with Adsense for Content ads instead before end of August 2008.

If you are currently running a campaign, you may want to save all referrals reports on your desktop soonest possible before they are removed from their system.

Google said they want to focus on improving Adsense and drive better monetization results for their publishers in the long term, so they are retiring the Adsense Referrals program.

Internet Marketing Gathering in Malaysia

This week, I received an email from Stuart Tan calling for an Internet Marketing Gathering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at his office in Taman Tun Dr Ismail on Monday evening.

Stuart brought along a few other Malaysian Internet Marketers like Edmund Loh, Vince Tan and Simon Leung from USA to share their internet marketing experences with the gathered group.

The gathering began with a short introduction from Stuart and the other internet marketers, followed by a brief intro by all attendees present.

Then Stuart started off a Q & A session with Edmund, Simon and Vince so that the attendees can get to know more about them.

Topics covered were:

• List building;
• Private Label Rights;
• Public Domain;
• Google Adwords, keyword traffic and quality score;
• Systems and processes;
• Search Engine Optimization;
• Social media;
• Video sites

After the session, some of us went off to have a late night snack with Stuart, Vince, Simon and Edmund as they haven’t had dinner after a four-hour long car drive from Singapore to reach Kuala Lumpur.

Overall, it was a small gathering of get-to-know experienced Internet Marketers session sharing what they know and I benefited alot from this. Stuart said this will definitely not be the last of these types of gathering but more in the coming months.

How Do You Analyze Sites with Google Trends

Google Trends is not the latest of Google’s new gadgets but it has been around for some time. I use Google Trends charts to analyze future and upcoming trends for websites, blog or events. Of course, there are various way to analyze these trends from the charts.

Basically, all you need is to type in a keyword or phrase you want, in the Search box. I have typed in keywords ‘wordpress’ to compare trends with ‘bloggers’ below.

Wordpress’s trend is indicated in Blue and Bloggers’s trend is indicated in Red.

Wordpress’s trend has been moving upwards since 2004. That means Wordpress has been growing in popularity and has widespread use as a blogging platform.

These trends are broken down further into Regions, Cities and Languages.

Interestingly, I see Indonesia being the top region to adopt Wordpress platform, follow by Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. All from Asian countries. Similar trends are found for Cities.

What is surprising is the Indonesian language tops the list in Languages, followed by Russian and English as third.

How do you interpret these trends when you use Google Trends?

Malay Mail Published May Ong’s Blog Post

Malaysian newspaper, the Malay Mail came across my blog post at MalaysiaParenting blog and published the blog post titled Can A Man Survive On RM3000 Salary in Malaysia. Sheila Rahman of Malay Mail was generous and kind enough to let me in on the interview on the subject that I shared deeply with Malaysians. Everybody is feeling the pinch in higher costs of living. This came to effect since the price of raw oil keep on increasing from USD40.00 to USD130.00 per barrel and its affecting the whole world. More so on developing countries. I sympathize with families who are relying on only the male as the sole bread earner of his family. More so for large families with growing children. How are you managing?

How to Break Your Own Fear Factor with a Metal Tip Arrow

I have learnt how to break my own fear factor with a metal tip arrow exercise over the weekend at the Millionaire Mind Training by T. Harv Eker in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Some of you may have done this breaking the arrow exercise at other motivation course and training but this was the first time for me.

I am not a fan of motivation seminars and training but I still went ahead to do this.

It started out with the helpers giving out 4,800 metal tip wood arrows to each of us. We were required to get in a group of tens. The group leader would help us to place the arrow tip on the softest part of the base of our throat. The arrow has to be held horizontally.

We are to stand with our right foot anchored to the ground and the left foot behind us to grip ourself firmly holding the arrow with both hands. Then I had to lean forward slowly until I broke the arrow into two or more parts.

It was the scariest exercise I have ever done in my life and was I scared sh*t out of my pants. (P/S: I did not ‘piss’ in it).

Oh …. we have to write one or two of our most feared factor on the tip of the arrow before we split the arrow into half.

May Ong at Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar

I spent the last weekend at the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar by T. Harv Eker at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre beside the Mines Resort City in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I do not usually attend motivation seminars but I have friends who highly recommended to me to attend this three-day training on the psychology on the inner game of wealth and money.

I went there without any expectations and kept an open-mind. At the end of the 3rd day Millionaire Mind Intensive training, I went home feeling exhausted but surprisingly relaxed. The event starts from 8.00 am till 11.00 pm on day 1 and day 2. Luckily it ended at around 7pm on day 3.

I came away with some of my favorite Quotes from T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive training:

“How you do anything is how you do everything”

I find this quote to be so true in its meaning. It simply reflects upon how each of us conducts ourselves in our daily lives and in work, how we deal with problems and solutions, how we treat others and how we do things generally.
