Apple iPod for pre-order at $399 USD.
Nifty device but useless at this point unless

stats would be .68% of you). For the rest of
you Amazon
also has the Samsung
Yepp Hip-Hop 32Mb MP3 player for only $69.99
plus you get a free
additional 32Mb SmartMedia card. Not
bad considering that 0Mb Nomad IIs were selling

Guess orange wasn't selling well. Futureshop.ca
has for today only the orange
Handspring Visor Deluxe for $199.99 CDN.
Regular price is $259.97 CDN. At last check
only 3 are left.
Don't like orange but you still want a cheap
handheld? CanadaComputers.com
sells OEM versions of Palms, including
the Vx for $249 CDN or the m505 for $479 CDN.
Reports are that these don't come with a serial
number so you have no warranty. Maybe not such
a big issue with a tried-and-true model like
the Vx but the m500-series suffers from a few
issues.

Youtopia
is dead. They won't let you redeem your remaining
YouDollars either. I'm still waiting for a gift
certificate I ordered a few weeks ago. I guess
not even a marketing agreement with Britney
Spears could save them (or maybe it was the
cause of their demise).
BorderFree
has added iGadget,
the over-priced and poorly serviced electronics
retailer to their clientele. That means you
can now order iGadget stuff and get it shipped
to Canada via BorderFree. Apparently they'll
add CrateAndBarrel.com
and eCost.com
to their list soon.
Looking for a cheap scanner? Futureshop.ca
has the Visioneer
4400U for $69.99 CDN after discount
and mail-in rebate. Not sure about the quality
of the brand though. They've also got the Rex
5001 credit-card sized organizer for $79.99
CDN ($40 off!). I used the older version
before I got my first Palm and it was pretty
useful, mainly because of it's portability.
Note that Intel/Xircom
have discontinued their Rex line of PDAs.
IBM is still giving away free
CueCat barcode scanners. Pretty useless
really.

10 cup coffee maker for $99.99 CDN ($20
off).
Palm has dropped the price of their top-of-the-line

board for a now-lower price of $99 CDN.
Go buy a Dell instead if you don't want to spend
hours fiddling with this sort of stuff.

Sorry about the lack of updates, WindowsXP has
been troublesome on my system (but then which
Microsoft OS hasn't?). Don't let me scare you

purchases of XP than the software is worth.

Crucial

Seems that Staples.ca
$90 off coupon (see below) was only supposed
to be used when you purchase WindowsXP as well
so they're sending out e-mails and cancelling

to digitize your signature since it's a bit
too small for tracing or drawing. Other nifty
toys on sale include the Intel
Home PC Camera for only $59.99 CDN after mail-in
rebate. The catch? Intel is closing
its consumer electronics division so there may
not be support for this later. Then there's
the ADS

($40 off). I haven't seen any USB 2.0 devices

Futureshop.ca
is having another "Scan

this time they're limiting the discounts to
one item per discount category and it's not

to your cart). Guess they learned from the mistakes
of their last sale.

Odd...
maybe it was a mistake that's since been fixed

Oy,
first Garageband,
now this. Commission
Junction, a popular internet advertising

Oy!
Seems like both of the daily Beenz
links
are not available today. One says "offer
expired" and the other "not enough
Beenz for offer." Hopefully this will be
a temporary thing.
Finally! DataSynapse
has finally announced their payment structure.
It's not as lucrative as I'ved hoped but then
it's still something for nothing (UPDATED):
If your computer is available to them for more
than 120 hours a month during peak hours (8:00am
- 6:00pm, Monday - Friday EST ) you get $2 Flooz
per month
If you're one of the "top members"
then you get $6 Flooz
for that month (they don't define what's a "top
member" though)
Being available outside peak hours only earn
you entries towards a draw for Porsche
If you have DSL, cable or some other type of
broadband connection it's worth the download
since you practically don't have to do anything
after that.

t-shirt from MailToRemember.com.

flat panel computer screen ($5,999.99 USD) from
CyberRebate.
Personally, I think that by offering these products
at such outrageously high prices they're undermining
their credibility.
Palm's got lots of inventory now so you'll see
more of these deals. Amazon's
got the Palm
Vx with a free metallic hard case for $299 USD.
They've also got the ThinkBlot
game on sale for $9.98 USD (60% off!).

There's
10 new Beenz
over at the Beenz links
page. Also, Beenz
went and revamped their website. Seems that
there's only 10 Beenz
daily now. If you know of more on the Beenz
site send me an e-mail.
Hmm... this is odd. Seems I'd gotten one day
ahead of myself and was posting a day in the
future. Okay. The dates are fixed now. Thanks
to Ghosty for the heads up.
Is this something we should be proud of? News.com
is reporting that Canada
is #1 in % of web users who regularly use Napster.
If you had problems getting to the new Beenz
links page try again. It should work
now. Go get those new 25 Beenz
from Excite UK!
This can't be right. Amazon
has the Hercules
3D Prophet II GTS 64Mb DDR video card selling
for $179.99 USD. Cheapest price I could
find anywhere else was $269 USD or $555 CDN!
I placed an order for one. Wonder if I'll get
it? UPDATE: Out of stock
I've added a Beenz links
page to the site. It's just like the
MyPoints page
so if you've found MyPoints
lacking lately in terms of point earning opportunities
give Beenz
a try. 2000 Beenz
gets you $10 in Flooz.
I got my $25 Flooz from Blink
the other day. Took them a week to send it and
even longer for me to earn it though. If you're
patient and have a few minutes a day to spare
try them out.

for the soon to be released Palm m500 and m505.
Prices are $629.99 CDN and $699.99 CDN respectively
so it's cheaper getting them from Amazon
unless the CDN $ goes south even more
Seems there is a lot of hatred for AllAdvantage
out there. Some people didn't realize that my
posting yesterday (see below) was an April Fool's
joke (just click the links) and instead decided
to voice their complaints about AllAdvantage
to me. Well, my view is that you can't expect
any of these companies to stay around forever
or be efficient dispensers of cash and goodies.
Almost all will eventually go bankrupt and some
may even lie and cheat their users but what
have you lost? some of your free time. So there's
no point getting angry at any of these companies,
just move on to another thing or stop participating
if you don't feel your time is worth the trouble.

This
is new: Remember AllAdvantage?
Well, it seems a lot of people do and as part
of a grassroots campaign being organized by
former users of the service they're holding
"community ad
viewings" to raise money for
AllAdvantage.
These ad viewings will be held at your local
cineplexes, auditoriums and drive-in theatres
where everyone will gather to watch banner ads
projected on the big screen. Hopefully enough
advertising dollars will be generated to bring
AllAdvantage
back to life. To find out when the next ad viewing
will take place in your community click

Got an e-mail from Mike asking how to combine
a $10 promotional gift certificate with that
10% off coupon that Amazon's
got. I can't guarantee that this works but you
can try ordering
the Ofoto software (which is free!)
and using either the $10 gift certificate code
or the 10% code (AMZNTENPRCNT
)
during the process. Complete the order. Now
make another order for what you wanted with
the other code and see if both codes have been
applied to your purchase. Hope this works!

their top
sellers list. Over on their DVD

on DVD like The

getting too far ahead of itself.

The dot.com landscape seems to be improving.
Word is online ad sales are stabilizing. So
that means that all these companies that depend

have a chance (if they didn't spend all their
money on high-tech office furniture). You can
even see things improving. You can now get approx.
50 points per day at FreeRide.

Hmm...this is kinda sudden. Buy.com
has dropped their Canadian
operations. All outstanding orders have
been cancelled. Their Canadian store wasn't
that competitive anyways.
Those guys over at Canada.com and Charles Schwab
are holding a stock
challenge beginning tomorrow with a grand prize
of $10,000. In addition Canada.com has
a contest to send
your loved one roses every month for a year.

BorderFree.
(Note:
Despite all the references to BorderFree
I'm not affiliated with them... but that's only
because they don't have an affiliates program).
Wow, it didn't take long since their announcement
but AllAdvantage's

as the referrer if you want to help free up
a seat on Toronto's subway.
It was predicted over at F'ed
Company yesterday but here it is: Amazon
will be laying
off 1,300 people. Overall, it looks
like a good sign for Amazon
(not for those employees) in that they seem
to be on their way to maturing into a stable
business. Don't go betting your life savings
on my analysis though.
Want a Playstation 2 without having to buy it
bundled with software? You don't have to resort
to eBay; buy it directly

The dangers of eBay: $425
paid for empty Playstation2 box.

an expired offer. I haven't found where it says
so but if it's really expired then should'nt
Ford have removed the ability to get a "test

cool Canadian contest in order to get the $10
Futureshop.ca
coupon. The contest? Head over to epress.ca
and send an e-mail to their contest mailbox
(with your full name, address and contact phone
number). At 6:00pm each day (not sure of the
time zone) they'll select an e-mail and that
sender receives $50 CDN! Send them an e-mail
each day!
Well, that was fun. I think I'll give away another
Futureshop.ca coupon before the 10th. Stay tuned.
I've got a $10 off coupon for Futureshop.ca
to give to the first person who tells me of
a contest on the web (open to Canadians of course)

Need a second computer just for surfing? Amazon

Well the new year is upon us (I know, this is
belated) and it's time to have a re-evaluation
of what's the best way to get free stuff off
the 'net. The days when AllAdvantage
paid out generously are gone as are the days
when you could go on shopping sprees at Amazon
with the gift certificates you earned from Echo
and FreeRide.
While many programs have cut back, converted
to lotteries or ended up on the pages of F'ed
Company there are still a few opportunities
out there. I've taken a good look at the ones
I'm aware of (be sure to tell
me if you know of others) and moved
them to the top of the list for each of my pages.
The best bets now? Spedia
still gives you 50 cents USD per hour of surfing,
Jaboom!
still pays out Amazon
gift certificates for rating songs and MyPoints
(though more difficult to earn now) still doles
out gift certificates to offline retailers.
More MyPoints
earning opportunities are disappearing. Now
the monthly Omaha Steaks link has expired so
I've removed it from the MyPoints
links page. If you know of any new ways
to earn MyPoints please e-mail
me!

(not a PO Box) where you can receive mail, packages
and such. They'll tell you what has arrived
and you decide when to get it shipped to you
here in Canada. It looks cheaper than Borderfree
if you plan to get multiple packages. I might
try this out instead of harassing my American
relatives all the time.

Happy New Year! Welcome to the "real"
new millennium.
Well, they did it. Echo
has discontinued their rewards program and converted
over to a sweepstakes thing. Now you can only
redeem your points for entries into draws for
money or electronics. This effectively eliminates
Canadians since they won't be sending those
prizes over to Canada even if you did win. Oh
well, it was good while it lasted.
More bad news...just noticed over at Trocamania
that they don't give out $10 Amazon
or Buy.com
gift certificates anymore. Lowest denomination
for Amazon
is now $50 for 4167 Trocas and for Buy.com
it's $20 for 1667 Trocas. It'll take forever
to earn that many Trocas unless you buy one
of those overpriced items off CyberRebate
through them.
