Everyone wants to know how to make money on the internet without having to spend any money. But in reality, that is very difficult to do. What makes it difficult is the fact that everyone else is attempting to do the same as you – make a little extra money. But there are proven ways to make money on the internet without investing any money upfront.

You may have heard of websites that pay you to complete different offers. The basic premise is this: the company makes money when you click on their ads or take their surveys. They then split that money with you to allow both sides to earn money.

The problem with this is there are tons of websites that get you to take their surveys, and then don’t reward you for your time – basically scamming you into making money for them without giving you any return. This is a common problem on the internet. Like I said, everyone wants to make money online – and some are willing to scam others.

But there are legit websites that do compensate you for your work. I have personally made $444.11 from a website called treasuretrooper. It’s simple: You make an account for free, and then start completing offers in order to receive money. Refer your friends and you can make 20% of their profit. And the cool thing is – it takes virtually no time to take their surveys and complete their offers.

Reports we’re getting in the mail say that some Gmail users have seen their storage bumped to over 9GB today - 9030MB, to be exact. If not a glitch (and why would it be?), it means Google is playing catch-up with Yahoo, which now provides unlimited storage. With no other info, we can only assume the accounts are currently being selected at random.

Ever seen tons of processes running in the background of your PC when you hold down CTRL+ALT+DELETE and click on the “processes” tab?

You may be surprised to know what some of these processes are. If you spot one that looks suspicious, you may want to check it out. Chances are it’s probably something harmless, but it’s always better to be on the safe side.

To check these processes, write down the name(s) like I’ve done here:

firefox.exe
avp.exe
googletalk.exe

Now pick one of these websites below to check the process with:

http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm
http://www.google.com/

Any of them work well, but the first one is the one I use the most. These websites will let you search for the name of the process that you are suspicious of and will provide you with info on what it is. If you can’t find information on one of the sites, try the other. If both fail, Google is always a trusty solution.

In my case, this is the information I collected about the three processes I looked up:

firefox.exe – simply my web browser
avp.exe – part of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
googletalk.exe – Google’s Talk application

Some processes are self-explanatory thanks for their name, others are not. But even if something looks to be real because of its name, don’t always trust it. If you’re suspicious of a process, always check it to verify that you don’t have a virus or trojan horse of some sort.

A British teenager who bought a Sony Playstation 2 on eBay for £95 ($194) got more than he bargained for when he opened the package. Instead of a shiny, happy gaming console, there was a whole heap of euros - €65,400 ($90,000) to be precise

In this guide I will show you how to use a special Linux distro to reset any user’s password in Vista, XP, or 2000. It takes literally 5 minutes once you have the tools in place and works like a charm.

Warning! Use this guide only for retrieving your own windows password. Never use this to hack someone else’s computer. This guide shows you how to reset the password only – you will not be able to view the password you are resetting. Keep that in mind as well.

Step 1 – Gather the tools

You’re in luck. To hack windows passwords, you only need Trinity Rescue Kit, which is a small Linux distribution you can download here. It’s only about 100mb. After you finish downloading TRK (Trinity Rescue Kit), burn it to a CD and you’re ready to hack windows.

Step 2 – Hack Windows Password!

Insert Trinity Rescue Kit into the system you would like to hack. Make sure you set your system’s Boot Sequence to run from the CD. Let TRK load. Once it has loaded and you receive the prompt:

Type: winpass

TRK will now show all installations of Windows you have on your system. Choose the one you would like to hack. In my case, I only have one, so I selected:

1 and then hit Enter

You will now be edited the Administrator account. To change the password, type either the new password you want for this account or * to indicate that you would like to blank (or remove) the password currently restricting you from access to your system.

Y and then Enter to confirm the password change.

Password changed!

To hack a specific user’s password on the system, type (and replace matthew with whatever username you need to hack is):

winpass –u matthew

You are now editing the account. To change the password, type either the new password you want for this account or * to indicate that you would like to blank (or remove) the password currently restricting you from access to your system.

Y and then Enter to confirm the password change.

Password changed!

Now type in reboot to restart your computer!

Congratulations, you have now successfully hacked windows. If you encountered any problems during your hacking attempt, use the Trinity Rescue Forum to hopefully solve them.

The key to finding file mirrors on the internet is knowing where to look. There’s almost always a mirror out there and I’ll show you how to find it.

The key is www.shareurl.com. The way it works is simple; shareurl is a service that comes bundled with FlashGet, a popular download manager. When users download files using FlashGet, the location of that file is entered into the database at www.shareurl.com.

Here’s how to find file mirrors:
Go to www.shareurl.com
Type in the filename and hit enter!

If anyone has used FlashGet to download this file, you’ll see it here!
