Hong Kong: The Best Place to Import an iPhone 4

You'll get a contract-free and officially SIM-unlocked iPhone 4 16GB for just a shade under Rs. 30,000 ($643)


Today, the Internet as well as local newspapers covered this story where people of the Chinese origin in U.S. were buying iPhone 4s in bulk that are eventually imported by their own country, where Apple is officially releasing its star-studded phone tomorrow. Dvice.com stated that these phones are sold for as high as $1000 in China! Newspapers also depicted the irony that these iPhone 4's are originally manufactured (by an OEM called Foxconn) in China, then shipped to U.S. where they're locked to AT&T network, and sold without a contract for $599 for a 16GB model. So, basically on its return trip back to China, the price is increased by a good $400 which we can assume is commissioned by all the middlemen; from the people who buy it in U.S., to the people who actually sell the device in China. 

This got me thinking; we have people in our own country who're paying that kind of sum for an iPhone 4. A quick search on ebay.in reveals that most iPhone 4s selling here are purchased and unlocked from U.S. Currently, the lowest is at Rs. 40,000 while some are ridiculously high at Rs. 55,000. Firstly, I am very sure many are ignorant about the concept of unlocking and jailbreaking and its implications. Back in May, I'd even written about it, trying to clear some misconceptions. Still, I keep running into people who accidentally update their iPhone OS, only to realize that their phone gets locked with the newer version. 

I agree restoring and jailbreaking/unlocking the iPhone isn't rocket science, and anybody who reads a tutorial on the Internet can do it in a matter of minutes. However, the non-savvy people are at the mercy of local cell-phone sellers who "specialize" in such procedures; charging them anywhere between Rs. 650 to Rs. 1,500 for unlocking/jail-breaking their device. It has become a good business opportunity for them; where the owner doesn't have to worry about anything and even gets his phone back working with a lot of apps pre-loaded as a " bonus".  



Tip for people wanting to buy the iPhone 4 in India:

1)    If you can wait till October (which isn't too far from now), and are using Airtel or Vodafone, then it would be better to wait till either carrier launches the phone officially here. The advantage? You will get official warranty for your phone (which you lose if you get one from any other country, unless you are able to send the phone back to the country of purchase for repairs, should anything go wrong). 

2)    If you are on another operator, or can't wait till either Vodafone/Airtel releases it officially here, then I'd suggest you insist on one that is imported from a country where the iPhone's sold without a contract AND officially unlocked. Here's a quick memory jog of all the countries that do this:

Belgium, Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Russia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa


Off all these countries, the Apple Hong Kong Store currently has the best pricing. You can get one for Rs. 29,274 ($642) - and use it with any carrier you want here. People keen on jailbreaking the phone can go ahead and do so. But for people who're not very savvy with this fairly risky procedure, buying one from Hong Kong will also give them a peace of mind and an assurance that their phone won't get locked because of an accidental phone update.

Yen back at 15-year high on forex hedging

The yen rose to a fresh 15-year high against the dollar in global forex trading yesterday (September 7th) as investors flocked to the hedge currency to limit risk exposure.
Amid renewed concerns about the strength of US recovery, forex brokers once more pushed the yen back to historic highs, likely adding support to the case for currency intervention.
The Bank of Japan's policymakers met earlier this week to discuss potential strategies to stem the rise of the yen, but voted against any direct intervention.
And with concerns about falling international payment revenues returning once more, the issue is likely to be high on the agenda again next month.
'We are aware that Japanese exporters have been significantly affected by the yen's strength,' said the bank's governor Masaaki Shirakawa on Tuesday, adding that the currency's rise is being closely monitored.
In trading this morning, the dollar strengthened moderately against the yen and was trading at 83.70 yen at 09:00 GMT."

Forex: Canadian Loonie gains versus US Dollar following BOC rate increase to 1.00%

The Canadian dollar has advanced against the US dollar today in forex market trading following the interest rate increase by the Bank of Canada (BOC). The BOC raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points earlier today to 1.00 percent from 0.75 percent as widely expected by market forecasts. This follows the July interest rate increase by 25 basis points as the BOC moves to bring the rate to normal levels after a prolonged period of ultralow rates following the financial crisis .

The Canadian currency has been charging higher against the other major currencies today on the news as the loonie has made gains against the euro, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and the British pound.
The bank statement accompanying the rate decision said that the Canadian economy was “slightly softer in the second quarter than the Bank had expected, although consumption and investment have evolved largely as anticipated. Going forward, consumption growth is expected to remain solid and business investment to rise strongly.”

The statement also said that Canadian economic recovery may not come as quickly as previously expected as the bank sees a “weaker profile” in economic activity in the U.S. , a major export destination for Canadian goods.

Other Canadian news releases today showed that Canadian building permits fell by 3.3 percent in the month of July following a 6.9 percent increase in June, according to Statistics Canada. Market forecasts were expecting building permits to fall by 4.9 percent. The Ivey purchasing managers index was also released today and showed an increase to 65.9 for the month of August. This follows a score of 54.0 in July and surpasses the market forecasts looking for a 55.5 score for the month.

Forex chart: USD/CAD Hourly –

The US Dollar falling against the Canadian dollar today in forex trading following the bank to Canada’s interest rate increase to 1.00 percent. The USD/CAD pair is trading lower after increasing yesterday and fell through the 50-hour moving average in purple, looking to test the recent support level near 1.0330.

World markets rise as double-dip fears ease

 LONDON — World stock markets advanced modestly Monday as investors rode momentum from Friday, when an upbeat U.S. jobs report eased fears that the global economy could slip back into recession.
With Wall Street closed for a holiday, however, trading was expected to remain light.
Markets took heart after official data last week showed private employers in the U.S. added 67,000 jobs in August, more than analysts expected.
The figure bolstered optimism that the U.S. will maintain a slow but steady recovery from last year's recession and avoid another economic contraction later this year.
By mid-afternoon in Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 index was up 0.3 percent at 5,446.17, Germany's DAX was 0.3 percent higher at 6,153.31 and France's CAC-40 was up 0.3 percent at 3,684.20. Asian indexes closed higher and trading on Wall Street was to remain shut for Labor Day weekend after closing higher on Friday.
With most major governments reining in economic stimulus measures and many pushing through austerity spending cuts to reduce deficits, investors worry the global economy would be pushed into a double dip recession, particularly as the U.S. slows down quickly.
Because the U.S. economy is the world's largest and consumer spending there accounts for a fifth of global economic activity, the stronger-than-expected jobs data on Friday helped calm investors' frayed nerves after weeks of worrying indicators.
"The renewed flight to safety we have witnessed over the past month is overdone and risks an equally large reversal when the worries over a double dip subside," analysts from Rabobank said in a report.
"As the unexciting, steady and below-trend global recovery continues, it's important not to confuse it with a double dip recession."
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index climbed 2.1 percent, or 187.19, to 9,301.32 and South Korea's Kospi rose 0.7 percent to 1,792.42.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 1.8 percent to 21,355.77. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.8 percent at 4,575.50. Markets in mainland China, Taiwan, India, Indonesia and Singapore were also higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 1.2 percent to close at 10,447.93 on Friday. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 1.3 percent to 1,104.51.
Shares in the U.S. ended the week in the positive, the first time that has happened in a month. The early gains in September mark a stark turnaround from August trade, when shares fell on doubts about the global economic recovery.
The dollar fell to 84.24 yen from 84.27 yen on Friday. The euro was slightly lower at $1.2880 from $1.2895.
Benchmark oil for October delivery was down 40 cents at $74.20 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 42 cents to settle at $74.60 on Friday.

 Bats Global Markets, a Lenexa-based electronic trading exchange, said it had a record U.S. market share for August of 10.6 percent and a high of 5.8 percent in Europe. The share of U.S. market trading for August dipped slightly from its 11 percent slice for July.
Done deal
Epiq Systems, which provides software for lawyers handling bankruptcy, litigation and other financial and regulatory matters, said it had successfully completed a nearly $30 million stock buyback. The company said it had repurchased roughly 2.3 million shares at an average price of $12.83.

Crude Oil Falls for a Second Day on Speculation U.S. Fuel Demand Will Drop

 Oil declined to trade near a four- day low, as falling equity markets reinforced doubts about the global economic recovery while the end of the U.S. summer peak consumption season signaled lower demand from refiners.
Yesterday’s U.S. Labor Day holiday marked the end of the driving season. Refiners often idle units for maintenance in September and October as gasoline demand drops and before heating-oil use increases. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell as much as 0.7 percent. Asian stocks also declined, with the benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Index snapping four days of gains.
“Weak Asian markets and the weak start in Europe are pushing oil lower,” Gerrit Zambo, a trader with Bayerische Landesbank, said from Munich.
Crude for October delivery dropped as much as $1.39, or 1.9 percent, to $73.21 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $73.29 at 10:06 a.m. London time. Yesterday’s transactions will be booked with today’s trades for settlement purposes, as there was no floor trading on Labor Day.
Brent crude for October settlement declined 89 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $75.98 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe Exchange in London.
Crude also dropped as the dollar gained for a second day against the 16-nation euro, reducing the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment. The U.S. currency was at $1.2769 to the European currency, up from $1.2876 yesterday in New York.
“Equities are weaker and the dollar is stronger, so for the next few days we’re likely to move in a $70-$75 range,” Frank Schallenberger, head of commodities research at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg, said from Stuttgart.
Rising crude oil inventories in the U.S., the world’s biggest oil consumer, are also weighing on petroleum prices, Schallenberger said. U.S. stockpiles of crude are currently about 5 percent higher than a year ago.

Commodities: Oil retreats in subdued trading

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Crude oil futures fell on Monday with trading mostly subdued due to the US Labor Day holiday. 

While there was no floor trading during Monday’s holiday crude for October delivery fell 58 to $74.02 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. 

Concern about declining demand for oil drove prices lower, as the US driving season comes to an end. Monday’s Labor Day officially marked the end of the summer driving season. 

Unease about the struggling US economy and an oversupplied oil market is also weighing on oil demand. Crude inventory levels are now at the highest level since June, according to last week’s figures from the Energy Department. 

Traders will also be keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Hermine, which reached the Gulf of Mexico Monday evening US time. 

Gold for December delivery was little changed at $1,251.20 on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Floor trading was closed Monday for the US holiday.

The other day, fresh out of ideas for activities, we explored the Vedder River Rotary Trail in Chilliwack. This 15km network of gravel pathways for walking and biking is a vibrant farm-country oasis.

With tributary ponds and creeks, this is a natural Sockeye and Coho salmon habitat and home to make other little creatures and forms of wildlife.

Best Ad Placement Strategy for Google AdSense Ads on a Blog

I always try to write my own experience when it comes to Google Adsense. I remember those days when I was new to Adsense and knew nothing about it. I always try to share new things with you all so that new bloggers reach their 100$ as soon as possible. Today’s post of mine only targets upcoming bloggers to hit their 100$. In this post I’ll tell you about some best spaces where you can place your Google Ads to earn more.
If you are a newbie, I recommend you to read this post till last and I guarantee you that you will triple your Adsense earnings by reading this post.
Before starting this post I assume that you are using 2 column or 3 column templates. Below is a basic layout of 3 column template and I’ll discuss about 2 column template at the last, as there is not much difference between the two.
3 column template basic layout 1 300x225 Best Ad Placement Strategy for Google AdSense Ads on a Blog
basic layout of 3 column template

Now here are following parts of 3 column template:

1. Header

The header place is always used to place logo. You can also place search engine here. But remember do not place Google Adsense on the top i.e in header. Want to know why. Read this post on a blog of a friend  "Triple Your Adsense Earnings With A Simple Trick" I do not want to write the same thing again, its better to read the above post.
Till now you are known with the fact that placing Google Ads in header is not at all good. Now in the next point I’ll tell you the super best place to put Google Ad.

2. Menu Bar

The second part that make a 3 column template is Menu Bar.(See the image above). It really plays a vital role in your template. This space in your blogger template can boost your earnings. The trick is that :
1st Method : You should place a horizontal link unit ad instead of Menu Bar. The size of the ad should be 728x15_4) that displays up to 4 link.
What will happen : Placing Google Ads here looks same as Menu Bar, and this is the place where you will get a lot of clicks.
2nd Method : Some of you do not want to remove the menu bar from their template. What you can do is you can place the same link unit ad just below the Menu Bar. This trick will also generate the same amount of clicks.
Note : If you are trying to opt the second method, please read this post of mine on Say No To Google Ads Under Menu And Drop Down Links.

3. Column 1

The 3rd part of the template is Column1. It is the space in the blog where you write your posts. This space contains all the crucial content of your blog. Lets see this column again. Have a look at the image below :
post tile and post body 297x300 Best Ad Placement Strategy for Google AdSense Ads on a Blog
In the above image you can see the overview of the Column1. It contains Post Title and Post Body. Now the best space to place Google Ad in this column is between the post title and post body.
Number of clicks generated here are much more, compared to any other place on this column.
Note : Before placing Google Ads here reader this post of mine on Are We Allowed To Place Google Ads After Post Title?

4. Column 2 and Column 3

The column 2 and column 3 are known as Sidebars. In the 1st figure the Column 2 is the left sidebar and Column 3 is the right sidebar. If you are using both these columns you should place a Skyscraper (120×600) image ad in any of the column.
But if you are using 2 column template its better to place a Large Rectangle (336 x 280) image ad in the sidebar.
Placing ads in the footer is not at all recommend if you own a blog.
Well, this was all about Google Adsense and Blog, and I’ll be writing more and more on Google Adsense, here and on my blog too. So keep visiting and appreciating us by writing your comments.

Instant Paid Surveys

Discover How To Consistently Receive

Huge Checks At Your Doorstep From Big

Corporations Who Are Dying To Know

Your Opinion

our Opinion Is Worth Gold To Companies That Need To Know What Services And Products Attract Regular Consumers Like You

That’s Why They Will Pay You

For Doing Their Market Research

You Just Give A “Thumbs Up” Or “Thumbs Down”

To Whatever They Say!

Even though it’s hard to believe, most folks don’t know that big businesses are happy to dish out cash and products in exchange for simply filling out a form online.

Let me explain…

Big Business has to do as much research as they can before rolling-out new products and services to the public. Because if they don’t, and what they are selling isn’t being bought, it’s like dumping a truckload of money into a waste fill.

And guess what? In spite of all their fancy-shmancy marketing gurus and in-house research teams, they still manage to come out with some real stinkers:

Miller™ Breweries, who mastered the “lite-beer” market, completely flopped with Miller Clear – a colorless beer.

And who can forget when Coca Cola ™ failed miserably with “New Coke”. Until that failure, Coca Cola had the lion’s share of the market.

Coca Cola’s bad read of what the general public wanted is just one of the best known marketing flops.

You can get a sense of how big a problem incomplete research is when you visit the International Supermarket And Museum in Naples New York – it has over 60,000 failed products on display!

These product failures usually happened because companies relied on their own in-house researchers and because the researchers really wanted the products to go to market. They had a lot to gain personally by launching new stuff.

Even when large companies opened their doors to invite everyday shoppers into their head offices to ask them their shopping preferences, there were often big differences between what people in different parts of the country liked and what the global market preferred.

It finally dawned on the brainiacs in big business that they needed a representative sampling from everyday consumers from across all geographical areas, income, education levels, gender, and age.

Initially, companies tried (some still do, darn it!) contacting a cross-country sample of people by phone, unannounced – and uninvited.

But when companies saw that access to the internet was becoming accessible to most everyone, they realized that the cheapest and most efficient way to get thousands of people nation-wide to answer marketing surveys would be through the World Wide Web.


And, more importantly, big business woke up to the need to compensate survey takers for their time by offering cash, products and prizes in return for completed surveys.

And that’s where you come in.

Here’s Your Key To A Low-Profile Cash Cow

Most Of The Public Is Unaware Of -

And Those In the Know Are Steadily Making “Found Money”

Hi, my name is Crystal, and just like it has happened for me, I believe you can have the easiest (and legal) part-time or even full-time income you can possibly imagine; all from the security, comfort, and familiarity of your home.

In a minute I’ll clarify what’s involved. But before I tell you, I want to share one of my days with you…

Imagine that you see yourself at your new “home office”, perfectly at ease and dressed in your favorite bumming around getup. The sound of light laughter on the radio wanders your way and makes you smile, you’re glad to be home, who can work anywhere else?

You’re also visualizing how happy your children have been since you started working on surveys at home. And how grateful you feel that you can spend quality time in the morning (and afternoon) with the kids – being how you aren’t chained to a job outside the home.

Imagine how serene, yet focused you feel, relieved at having control of your time on your terms, knowing that a Instant paid surveys income permits you to do what’s important to you.

Positive changes happen a lot lately, and stress-free work from home where you choose your own hours is wonderfully empowering.

You have friends that also make money from doing surveys: A full-time student on a tight budget that is delighted to be able to make cash money anywhere her laptop can connect to the Internet. And another friend who already has an office job downtown; she uses the survey money for her “extras”.


Returning to your momentarily forgotten PC, you easily find the last place you were at in the online questionnaire. You were being asked to identify the breakfast cereal you see most often during Television commercials.

You then move your mouse over the little checkbox beside the breakfast cereal you remember the most during TV commercials. A simple click of the mouse in the checkbox completes this particular questionnaire. And a pleasant feeling fills you for a few moments – that survey paid $20 and it was so easy to do!

Not bad pay when you can do it several times a day if you wish, doing so on your schedule (not someone else’s) – and all that’s required is some easy mouse clicking.

But $20 isn’t the highest payout. Uh-uh. It can go much higher than that. I’ll explain shortly.

Look How Much Cash You Can Stash
Taking Paid Online surveys
(Even When Using The Smaller Payouts As An Example)

2 surveys a day @ $20 per survey =
$280 per week or $1,120 per month or $13,440 per year!

4 surveys a day @ $20 per survey =
$560 per week or $2,240 per month or $26,880 per year!

6 surveys a day @ $20 per survey =
$840 per week or $3,360 per month or $40,320 per year!

Getting paid for on-line surveys doesn’t just give you a helpful income stream. In addition, it makes you the boss of a small one-person business where you call the shots and determine how much, how little, and when you want to work.



A Little-Known Method

For Making cash money That Allows You To Work As Much

Or As Little As You Wish

How much you make depends on how many on-line surveys you want to do.

Some surveys payout less than $10, some are worth $15, $20, $35 or more.


But wait, that’s not all…

Besides The Online Surveys,

As A Member Of A “Product Study Forum”,

And Rake In An Average Of Almost $120 Per Forum!

Study Forums are similar to an online survey…except Study Forums last longer and require some additional participation. Which explains the reason for much higher pay-outs.
