Article accurate for 2009.

just thought I’d share this with you, its a bit of spam I recived via e-mail and it is the most original concept I’ve recived.

Hello,

Did you know that you could completely eliminate your power bill by
constructing a zero point magnetic power generator?

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free  Energy
Generator. It  uses  magnets, and magnetic  force to  induce  perpetual
motion. And this perpetual  motion  will help  to  rotate the generator
motor  that  will  produce power. It runs  by  itself indefinitely
without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which
can fully power your home for free.

Magnetic power generator can work 24/7 and whatever disaster may come. All
you need is a small space on your house.

Have a great day!

My question is:

Why don’t young people (excluding myself) like books (generally)?

Image credit: bjearwicke

Books are usually viewed upon today as if they are some sort of nasty disease, of which there is little cure from the boredom. Books are not boring! The people who say books are boring are boring themselves. My English teacher said, as a response to the phrase ‘books are boring’: “You’re simply not reading the right books”. In the past, reading was a privilege and anyone who could read was looked highly upon. In today’s society, even with public libraries everywhere and discount W. H. Smith offers, books are almost ignored. There are some exceptions to this rule, of course, but anyone who is seen seriously reading 2 or more books in their time at school is seen as a geek or bookworm.

I have never been called the latter (mainly an American phrase), but some of my friends have. I have a friend and she walks along and reds at the same time. I cannot begin to know how the hell she does it, but the sad thing is everyone else is very critical of her. She also reads in lessons, this has caused many “Put that book down” or “are you reading”?

So why do you think it today’s society it’s seemed as a bad thing to read books? Drop us a message in the comments box.

E-mail is becoming more than communication and incorporates itself in many different areas of the online world. Because of this you want the best to ensure that not only can you organise the e-mails easily and efficiently but also ensure that you have other features that are easily accessible.

Here are a collection of five great e-mail providers:

• Google Mail – One of the new contenders, originally it was invite only. Quickly becoming one of the major e-mail providers it boast features that you’d normally have to pay for. It has a  lot of features such as built-in chat boxes, lots of productivity tools and the increasing storage space which combined together makes it one of the fastest growing e-mail providers.
• Windows Live Hotmail - Previously called ‘Hotmail’ it is the largest e-mail service provider. In recent years they have improved their spam filter and that combined with there relatively new design makes it a good provider. It has the basic amount of features and suitable for the person who doesn’t spend live with there e-mail. It lets itself down with lack of Pop or Imap and its small storage space.
• Yahoo Mail – One feature that makes it a good  competitor is the fact that you get unlimited storage space. The free version of this is quite basic with basic only e-mail available. Unfortunately you have to pay to get the ‘Advanced’ features which is quite a downer.
• GMX Mail - They have a unique feature, you can collate multiple e-mail address such as a Hotmail and/or Gmail  into GMX and then send and receive e-mails from those accounts with those e-mail address. Another feature is that they allow you to send and receive e-mails up to 50MB in size.
• AOL Mail – With great features such as POP or IMAP and unlimited storage space its surprising that it’s not more well known. A rich user interface and excellent spam protection. Unfortunately what lets it down is the fact that it doesn’t thread messages and offers no labels or smart folders for organizing them.

Do you know of any other good e-mail service providers? Let us know in the comments!

Here is a simple collection of random websites which I thought you might find interesting! There are very random and in no order.

• Web Resizer – A website which manages to heavily compress image files and not display any difference.
• The Free Site – A website with link to loads of different free products and software.
• Funny Status – A collection of random, funny status messages for varies websites such as Facebook.
• Orangoo Spell Checker – A great site where you enter in or paste your text and it spell checks it with very accurate results.
