Ok, I think one thing I don't think people fully understand is how these companies actually make their money back. Now in the past they will either try to sell you something or get you to fill in a CPA offer. Now 2012 has hit the IM/Interne

Actually you would be surprised. The biggest advertiser in the CPA industry over the last few years closed their doors a couple of months ago. And now the EPC (earning's per click) are about 20% of what they used to be, so the majority of C

I found it was actually easier to edit my profile then unsubscribe from SPAM crap I get from Linked in. So I changed my profile to reflect this but I still get spam everyday :( http://nz.linkedin.com/pub/matt-gascoigne/17/a25/9b6

I remember you, and I recognize all those names! Pretty crazy where everyone ended up.

Man that's a shame. Me and Jon (the founder) used to be active a forum (Talkfreelance) a few years back alongside a bunch of other talented members. I remember he used to make all these cool little sites, usually for a single idea (I guess

Facebook was definitely my biggest earner until they decided to crack down on everything at the end of last year and basically screwed everyone over. It's the same deal for SEO, used to be a easy way to promote Adsense, CPA offers and what

Australia sucks America's dick more and more every day. It's one of the main things I hated when I lived there.

Still looking on Alibaba atm, seem crazy that you can actually get 7-10" tablets for around $30, for example: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/625682187/PF_Tech_mid_with... I if was in CW's shoes, I think it would of been much more impre

Looks like it's this phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlocked-Single-Sim-A-GPS-3G-Cell-Ph... Same color PCB, sim card and camera in same position. Though the lowest I saw it listed was $35 for wholesale orders, so I'm guessing it's a bit c

The funny thing is, even if Deadmau5 only sells his music on iTunes, Amazon etc, by the time you deduct Apple's/Amazon's cut and the record label's cut, he isn't going to make that much, maybe $100k or even $200k Net if he's lucky. To put t

My mum got to meet Woz when he came to New Zealand a few months back. He also told her how much he liked NZ/Aussie. He gave my mum his business card (which is awesome btw, all made of aluminium), and specifically told her if we email her, t

Ahh yes, so we are all really going to ditch Facebook and Twitter for Google+ soon? I kinda doubt it "Although Google+ may have as little as 10% of the active users of Facebook, it’s growing faster than Facebook ever did. And more important

Meh, nothing is going to happen. We'll probably never hear the results of the outcome of the inquiry. If NZ Police are involved, they'll just take their sweet merry time until we all forget about it and then move onto something else.

It seems like something that will get lost after 2 seconds since its so small. Wouldn't it of been better if they made something really slim that just attached to the bottom of your phone? So if you did want to regularly charge with micro u

Exactly. That's the main reason I want to get accepted into YC. The contacts and people you meet are going to be way more valuable to you and your startup than the money itself. If you had a good paying job, you could probably save up and f

Really? I get Linkedin spam shit every day for god knows how many years. Every time I delete it or report it as Spam, I still get the stuff the next day. Most annoying website in the world. I even changed my profile to reflect that since I

WTF. I don't get how people say Auckland is unsafe. I've lived here for pretty much my whole life and I have never run into any trouble. I'm often in town on a Friday/Saturday night usually till around 4am and I've never gotten into a fight

True. I lived in Melbourne last year, and although the transport has way better compared to Auckland, I don't really miss it. I live in Ponsonby and I still find I can get around pretty easily without a car. You still sorta need one if you

Huh? The weather has been pretty damn good for the last 2 weeks. Heaps of sunshine and I've noticed it's actually getting really warm lately so some days you can walk around outside with just a Tshirt, which is pretty cool for Winter. Hit m
