New body, new engine, new transmission and new all-wheel drive system - this isn’t evolution, it’s revolution. But, while this new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X may look as though it’s been graced with a stylist’s wand, its mission to manipulate air remains single-minded - cool air in, hot air out, and always employed for maximum downforce. The new chassis is stronger, with 40% more torsional rigidity and
60% greater flexural rigidity. The track is wider, the center of gravity lower and weight has been redistributed 3% rearwards - all resulting, impossible though it may seem, in an even more sure-footed stance. The ride is calmer (but never, ever soft), the steering less nervous and road noise reduced. This Evolution is still the stuff of legends. It remains an extreme, almost maniacal supercar-slayer, which dares you to attack every twist and turn. But this time there is more than a hint of sophistication. Whisper it… the Lancer Evolution is growing up.
“Mitsubishi really has raised the bar again… the Evo X is a significant leap forward” Auto Express
“Mitsubishi has retained the explosive performance while adding a new-found level of refinement” Evo magazine
“Sequels are rarely as good as the first installment, but number 10 is a corker” Top Gear
Performance
As always the Lancer Evolution X keeps its best tricks hidden from sight. 290 bhp at 6500 rpm*, 300 lb.ft. at 3500 rpm*, all comprehensively turned into pace. Traction and grip are even more immense, the car’s various brains using differentials and brakes to subtly shuttle torque to the wheels with most grip, whilst a revised multilink rear suspension, still utilising Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers, combines with a new steering set-up and that stiffer chassis to make feedback even better than ever before.
FQ Power Upgrades by HKS
As with previous incarnations, the Lancer Evolution X is available with FQ power upgrades. The FQ-330 and FQ-360 power upgrades have been developed in conjunction with the world renowned HKS.
Control
Four doors, five seats, the same focused driving position and hugely winged Recaro seats. On the face of it the Lancer Evolution’s cabin is reassuringly familiar. But look more closely and, as everywhere else, the interior has received a huge injection of sophistication. Materials and build-quality are far superior, as is the specification: now the Evolution gets a Bluetooth handsfree phone system, privacy glass, automatic light and rain sensors and adaptive Xenon headlamps for optimum visibility, a category 5 tracker to go with the category 1 alarm, power windows and climate control air conditioning, an HDD satellite navigation system with music server and a Rockford Fosgate premium audio system**. At last there’s an Evolution with as much interest in the cabin as there is under the skin. Well… almost.
Ramon Hidalgo Street, more commonly known as Hidalgo, is the hub for all things camera. Located near the Church of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo district, this avenue is regarded as a special place by many photographers. However, what is impressive about this avenue is not so much the number of camera establishments there but the small group of shops that date back as early as the Marcos era.
Bert’s, for example, has been around since the 1970’s. Although pretty small in size with just enough room for two technicians to work in and a small glass display case of old cameras, this camera repair shop has valiantly stood against the test of time. Their customers are usually professional photographers with studios of their own. Occasionally, they also get customers from the province and the usual walk-ins.
However, business is not what it used to be. With the growing number of mall-based camera establishments, there is certainly room for concern.
Mang Oscar, one of the technicians, said he started working with cameras immediately after he graduated. During that time, analog cameras or film-based cameras were the only kinds in existence. The concept of digital cameras was still unheard of. By the time digital cameras became popular, Mang Oscar knew he needed to adapt to the trend. The only way to survive was to learn all that he could about digital cameras.
The advent of digital imaging has certainly had an effect in the world of still photography. When digital cameras were first launched, professional photographers and camera enthusiasts denounced digital film as a poor copy of its analog predecessor. Until now, some analog stalwarts still debate the merits of analog versus digital. Which one was better? Which produced clearer pictures?
As technology progressed and digital imagery got better, many photographers switched sides and proclaimed that going digital does have its advantages. Pictures can be previewed at once. There are no qualms about wasting film. Bad shots are easily dealt with using the very friendly delete button. In some digital cameras, there are even options to add special effects to your pictures. The market was slowly changing and soon, many camera shops were giving more shelf space to digital cameras and putting the old, analog models to pasture.
Not all camera shops were able to make the transition. In the mid-1990’s, Kodak’s number of employees dropped from an admirable 145,300 to less than 50,000. The reason behind the global lay-off was the downward spiral of film sales and the closure of many film-based operations.
Watson’s, one of the many camera and supplies stores in Hidalgo, is a product of evolution. The store has been around for 20 years already and has successfully adopted to the digital age. Although there is still the threat of mall-based suppliers, Watson’s fights back by pricing their products competitively.
Kameraworld Digital, one of the largest photography chains in the country, also had to deal with the shift from film to digital. Established in 1974, this brand has existed since the analog years of the camera. Back then, there was still no “digital” attached to its name.
PJ Castro, President of Kameraworld Digital, explained that their transition from analog to digital had been gradual. Inevitably, there was a need to replace old equipment since film and digital require different things.
What Kameraworld did not replace though were their employees. Instead, they were re-trained and taught how to handle digital cameras and how to print digital pictures. These days, most of their employees are graduates of computer courses. Still, Castro proudly shared that some of the “old-timers” are still working for the company.
The Internet also plays a huge part in the shift from analog to digital cameras. Back in the day, people would purchase photo albums where they could keep their developed pictures in. Nowadays, people who use digital cameras have other options. Instead of spending money on printing images, they now have Multiply, Flickr, Photobucket etc. to display their pictures. These user-generated content sites are usually free and accessible to anyone who has a computer and an internet connection. With just a few clicks, pictures are easily uploaded and available for viewing.
For now, people seem to have adjusted themselves to this digital age. However, it might not be long before another new trend comes in and renders all that is familiar obsolete. In this country where the digital divide is still largely felt, who knows how much longer the people can keep up? (abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak)

Do you want to make money blogging? If you do - you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable medium. Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging - there are tens of thousands of bloggers making money from blogging.
In this page I want to share some information for beginners on making money from their blogs.
I will start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods (updated regularly) but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging.
What follows is a quick summary of my main income streams from blogging. Before you read it though - keep in mind that every blog is unique in how it can make money. Some of the following income streams will work on some blogs a lot better than others - the key is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.
The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped me to earn a six figure income each year for the last three years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest.
I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.
Despite not using it here at ProBlogger any more I continue to use AdSense with real effect on my other blogs. While I do use AdSense Referrals and their search feature it is their normal ads that work best for me. I have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that 250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design).
Last time I did this sort of summary Chitika ranked #1. This time around it has been overtaken by AdSense - not because Chitika slipped in how much it earned but because AdSense went up and because I also replaced a few Chitika ad units with WidgetBucks ones. Chitika offers a range of ad units that I experiment with. I find their eMiniMalls work best and that Related Product Units are also good. Their Shoplincs product isn’t performing as well as it once did for me - mainly because I’ve been promoting it less and have driven less traffic to it. Over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars!
This has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to make a few odd dollars from it - however in recent times it has become a significant earner for me (as I’ve shared previously). This quarter it overtook TLA as my third biggest earner - largely on the back of me directing traffic to Amazon from my product related sites - mainly digital cameras. While the commission on cameras is only 4% this adds up when those that you refer buy higher ticket items.
This includes ad sales of the 125 x 125 ads here at ProBlogger as well as a couple of private ad deals that I did with sponsors on my camera blog (including sponsorships with Canon, Kodak and Adobe). This area has jumped up since last time also as a result of the new design here at ProBlogger and our expanded sales team at b5 who now sell ProBlogger’s ads for me.
The income from TLA has dipped slightly over the last few months simply because I took the decision to stop selling them here at ProBlogger and most of my other blogs. This was because I wanted to focus more upon selling the 125 pixel ads instead and felt that the ads I was attracting were not as relevant to this site as they could have been. As it turns out this might have been a good move because it seems Google has been penalizing blogs that run them lately.
The job boards here at ProBlogger continue to grow each month in the number of advertisements that are being bought. This enabled me to invest most of the money that they’d earned a while back into getting a new back end for the boards and to redesign them. It hit me today that the boards are now bringing in around $1000 a month in revenue which is pretty nice considering that they are now so low maintenance to run! I’ve just given a development team a new brief to expand the job boards in the coming month so stay tuned for some new features coming soon which could see this revenue increase and more importantly for it to become an even more useful resource to readers.
I run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs - most of which bring in smaller amounts of money that don’t really justify a category of their own. These include - - Digital Photography Secrets (a camera technique series), Pro Photo Secrets (a great photoshop product) , Yaro’s Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program, SEO Book (Aaron’s legendary resource). This area is set to continue to grow in the current quarter with me having had reasonable conversions from the promotion of the excellent Teaching Sells course.
I also play with a number of other ad networks. Some I run as tests to see if I should review them here - and some are just advertising that run in the background on some of my smaller blogs. These include AuctionAds, Feedburner RSS ads, Vizu (a poll advertising system), Kontera and Bidvertiser. Together these don’t add up to major earnings for me - not because they are not good, but because I don’t use them heavily (a blog can only run so many ads on it).
I think that that covers most of it. Since last quarter I’ve also been experimenting with WidgetBucks as well as one other ad system that is still in a closed beta test. I’m certain that WidgetBucks will feature in next quarter’s list because I am getting good returns on that so far. In fact at it’s current earnings it’ll debut at at least number 4 on the list and perhaps even at number 3.
A lot has been written on the topic of making money online from blogs. There is a lot of wonderful information out there - but also a lot of hype and sometimes dangerous information.
Below are a number of articles that I’ve written exploring some of the different ways that bloggers make money.

Russell Peters is already a comedy superstar in much of the world. A recent one-off appearance at London’s Shaw Theatre sold out in 48 hours and when his first shows in Sydney and Melbourne were announced in May 2006, 10,000 tickets were gone in less than two days with zero advertising. In April 2005, Russell was the first South Asian to headline and sell-out the Apollo Theatre in New York City. Common knowledge decrees that a comedian must have a TV sitcom, a hit movie or a high profile comedy album to succeed, but Russell has built a massive underground following by word of mouth, completely bypassing mainstream media outlets. In June 2007, Russell became the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre – performing for over 30,000 fans over two nights. In addition to this first-time feat, in February 2008, Russell became one of only a handful of comedians to ever headline and sell-out the world famous Madison Square Garden. For the past few years he’s been selling out theatres and arenas across the US and Canada, all without ever appearing on network television in the United States. His US agents, Creative Artists Agency, calls this phenomenon ‘The Legend Of Russell Peters.’

The Next Big Thing in the Philippine Funeral Industry!!! (Article on St. Peter E-Burol featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, 01-27-2008)
St-Peter Chapels e-Burol – The First Online Viewing Facility in the Philippines
Who says that only Big Brother’s House has a 24-hour live video streaming? Well, that was the first in the Philippine entertainment industry. In the Philippine funeral industry, we also have a 24-hour live FREE online viewing known as the St. Peter Chapels E-Burol Facility.
Aside from offering FREE Wi-Fi access, St. Peter Chapels took a step further in terms of innovation by providing and offering FREE online viewing through the St. Peter e-Burol Facility. Designed to bridge borders and transcend boundaries and distances among and between Filipino families, it is the first ever Pinoy e-Burol facility in the where families and relatives living abroad can be part of the wakes of their departed loved ones here in the Philippines. They can have access on the real time video coverage of what is happening inside the chapel viewing room of their dearly departed.
Though the project is only at its initial operational stage, it has already received dozens of inspiring messages, words of thanks, and encouraging reviews from its growing number of users and supporters!
“There was just too many of us who wanted to come home. We couldn’t all come home because we lacked the financial capability. It was a good thing that my sister was serviced by St. Peter Chapels. Their e-Burol service enabled us to be with her in spirit before she left us for good.”
“When my mother died, our brother called up to say that he would be able to come home only after a week because of his employment contract. We were worried because we cannot extend the number of viewing days because we did not have enough money. It was the e-Burol service of St. Peter Chapels that saved us from the additional cost and at the same time helped my brother say his parting words to our mom!”
“Naguul gyud mi sa pagkamatay sa akong igsuun nya dili pa makauli ang among amahan na OFW sa Saudi kay wa musugut ang iyang amo. Nalipay na lang sad mi na pwede na diay niya Makita ang haya sa among igsuun sa internet. Naa na diay Free Online Burol sa St. Peter, nakatabang gyud ni sa amo-a kay imbes na ipalit ug ticket para pauli, gipadala na lang ang kwarto aron magamit-gamit namo sa pagkaun sa haya.
These are but some of the heartwarming messages from the dozens of satisfied families who have experienced the convenience and comfort brought about by the St. Peter e-Burol Program. Launched last October 22, 2007, the St. Peter e-Burol Program is part of St. Peter Chapels’ lasting commitment and dedication to public service.
Currently available in its major Mega-Chapels – Quezon Avenue and Metro Cebu, the St. Peter e-Burol Program is sure to reach greater heights as it is continuously being installed and implemented in the rest of the more than 130 St. Peter Chapels nationwide.
Proudly Pinoy, Proudly St. Peter! That is the St. Peter e-Burol Program! Experience world-class Pinoy DeathCare service, worldwide…

Review:
The wait is nearly over for an Eee PC with a larger screen. DailyTech reported in early January that ASUS was hard at work on an 8.9" version of its wildly popular Eee PC sub-notebook. Today, images and details are finally rolling out for the highly-anticipated update.
Engadget was able to fondle ASUS's new Eee PC at CeBIT, but ASUS officials would not allow the publication to boot the machine up -- likely for fear of spilling the beans on the Eee PC's processor/chipset. However, we do know that the Eee PC 900 will feature 1GB of memory and will be available in storage capacities up to 12GB (up from 8GB max on the current Eee PC).
As previously reported, the 8.9" display should have a 1024x600 resolution which is a welcome jump from the confining 800x480 display on the first-generation Eee PC. The increase in screen real estate made a minimal impact on the exterior dimensions of the device -- the Eee PC 900 is slightly larger and thicker and features a larger touchpad. The keyboard looks to identical to the previous model.
According to Engadget, the larger display will have a negligible impact on battery performance with battery lifetime quoted at 2.5 to 3 hours.
We will have to wait until tomorrow to get the full specifications for ASUS' Eee PC 900 -- at that time, we'll learn if the new model will use a traditional Mobile Celeron processor as its predecessor or one of Intel's new Atom processors.
