AT&T has finally announced their new pricing plans for the upcoming iPhone 3G coming out in just a few days. But as you might already know, the plans actually make the iPhone experience more expensive than before. New customers of AT&T can get the iPhone for $199 for the 8GB and $299 for the 16GB. If you are a current customer and are eligible for an upgrade, you can still get the iPhone at those prices. But if you are an “early upgrader”, you have to get the iPhones for $399/$499.
Oh, and here’s some good news and bad news for those who are not with AT&T or those who will not even imagine to get a contract with them. So first, the good news: AT&T will offer a no-commitment option of the iPhone so you can get it without a contract. Bad news: the 8GB will cost $599 and the 16GB at $699.
To read more about the AT&T pricing plans for the iPhone, go ahead and check this out. It has all you need to know about the plans that they offer. As for me, I think I’ll pass in getting the new iPhone 3G (unless someone finds a way to get the new iPhone without having to get a contract with AT&T).
Just thought you guys might find this interesting. This dude, Matt Harding, traveled around 42 countries within the past 14 months and… well, danced. It’s just simply amazing. This is actually Matt’s 3rd time doing this. The first time was all self-financed by himself. When the people of Stride gum discovered his interesting viral video, they offered to sponsor him if he traveled around the world again to make another video. Matt liked the idea and the second video was born. The video below is his third and most recent.
To watch the video in HD, go ahead and click here. Go ahead and check out Matt’s site, Where the Hell Is Matt?, if you want to learn everything there is to him and his videos.
I logged on Digital Point today just to do my normal routine of checking out what’s going on the community. Usually, I head start off going to the Buy, Sell, Trade area to see if there was anything cool that I can buy. But as I logged in my username and password, this shows up on the next page.
Banned?!?! I never would have thought of getting banned on Digital Point! In fact, I tried so hard not getting banned because my account is growing in terms of number of posts (660+) and iTraders (40+). And now I’m banned? What happened?
Well, according to the site, it was simple. I had received enough infractions due to too much bumping of my threads. The lesson here: don’t bump your threads! It sounds stupid, but it’s true. Digital Point now has strict policies regarding these kinds of things, and unfortunately, I ended up being one of the idiots who never watched what I was doing. Lucky for me, I’m only banned for 1 month (whew). But it’s going to be a very long month.
If you’re looking to get your own domain and webhosting, now is the perfect time. Why? Well, Dreamhost had just emailed me 5 invitation promo codes that I can share to those anyone interested in finally signing up for a web host. But to cut to the chase, what exactly is special about the invitation codes? Three things:
Get four (4) times the normal disk and bandwidth!
Choose the five-year plan, get $150 off!
Choose the ten-year plan, get $200 off!
The 5 year plan is originally $6.95/month, which will amount up to $417 for the whole 5 years. With my invitation code, you can have your 5 year plan for only $267! Then with the 10 year plan, it’s originally $714. With the invitation code, you pay just $514.
Comment below if you are interested in signing up with Dreamhost or just want to move to Dreamhost! I’ll give you one of my 5 invitation codes so you can get these unique features just mentioned above. If there are more than 5 people who want this offer, I will be randomly picking 5 out of everyone that wants it. Oh and if you need more information about Dreamhost, check out their features here.
My first year of being in the internet marketing business has been quite a ride. I can still remember the time when I googled “make money online”, which led me to ProBlogger, which then led me to make this site. Actually, the first content of this site wasborn in April of last year. But it wasn’t until June 2 of 2007 that I bought my own web hosting and the domain from Dreamhost, when the site was officially born.
Through this blog, I have reached my goal of making over thousands of dollars online. Slyvisions dot Com provided me with the skills that I needed to reach my success. It also allowed me to prepare for what’s to come in the near future. But it all couldn’t have been possible without you, my readers. So I thank everyone who has been part of my first year in this journey.
But don’t get me wrong. I still have a long way to go.

Everyone is a geek. You’re a geek. And according to this poster, there are 56 types of geeks out there. I’ve actually seen this a while back but have never really shared it with anyone so check it out. Click the picture on the left to see the full-sized originial so you can find yourself.
After taking a very close look, I’d have to say that I am the Electronics Geek. Which one are you?
Pork and Beans… and I’m not talking about it literally. What I am talking about is the new song by Weezer (the band behind “Beverly Hills” and “My Name Is Jonas”) called Pork and Beans. Anyway, what’s so special about the song? Well, if you haven’t seen it yet (and I doubt that you haven’t), all I want to say is that it’s one of the best music videos I have ever seen. This music video is a perfect example of how viral marketing is the best types of marketing on the internet. Weezer knows exactly how to go viral on YouTube… by referencing popular viral videos on YouTube. Does “Numanuma” sound familiar to you? What about “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” or “Leave Britney Alone”? The band incorporated some of these viral videos and some of their characters into their new song and video, which has made themselves go viral. But enough with the talk, go watch the video below and you’ll see why. If you have already seen it, watch it again!
By the way, if you want to see all the original videos that this song referenced to, check out this page. Gizmodo has done all the work for you by putting up all the videos on one page, so just sit back and watch!
