Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End - Review

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 disappointed me and it was a complete let down. I looked for this movie more than any other summer releases. Pirates of the Caribbean sunk at World’s End.

Don’t get fooled by IMDb’s 8.6/10. It’s just 50% at Rotten Tomatoes.

In Depp Trouble?

Wordpress was built with a ‘feature’ with the rel=”nofollow” thing to prevent comment spam. Logically it made sense that we don’t want to appreciate spammer with our link love. But as we know, it didn’t help. Akismet is saving the blogs.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve installed this Dofollow plugin installed and activated.

In fact I had installed this plugin activated some 2 months back. Posting about it just now so that you know the changes and the happenings at this blog. Whenever you comment in this blog, then you get a permanent link to your blog which in turn helps your rankings on various systems, like Google (search engines), Technorati etc.

When you just say ‘Hi’, you get the link love. No bull shit like:
- pay $10 to get no follow tag removed
- post (read spam) 6-9 comments to get the tag removed

Whenever you comment, The Newspaper Blog will follow or at least Google will.

Yeah! I can hear leechers shouting the new utorrent versions sucks.

All the fuss because they can’t cheat Private Torrent Trackers!

I didn’t read this anywhere or didn’t notice in the list of changes. Just I tried out the new version of the utorrent client and noticed that the new beta is bad for leechers.

The following information is not good for you to use and try it out. That’s why I waited so long time for utorrent guys to fix it. If you have a slow broadband connection, then you should Public Trackers or other sources (like direct http links or usenet) only.

You would be curious to know how much money I make per month. Honestly, I love to reveal my earning if it’s high. No point in disclosing 3 figure monthly blog revenue. It would not be motivating for others as well.

I previously predicted $3.5k revenue this year, but I was lucky (I know this phrase is so clichéd; but it’s true) and now I’m projecting somewhere around $4.5-6k revenue this year. Beer money for the thing I love to do!

Don’t judge a Blog by it’s Alexa, Technorati rank or RSS subscribers count!

Made in China.

Perhaps those three words must be the second most uttered phrase after I Love You!

Chinese made goods seems flooding the place all over with their products which gives jitters to people who sell them. Here at The Newspaper blog, truth and boldness counts for me. I’m not afraid to make certain things public.

I was reading Deep’s blog on his Chinese Stand. That made me remember that our company sell ‘things’ that are made in China.
