Google SearchWiki with Sound

Just as you like it, when signed in with your Google account, you can change the search results based on your choosing. A great feature (still experimental, not sure if it will be released as a full service) called SearchWiki with sound adds an explosion sound effect every time you remove a search result you don’t like.
- This is definitely a great way to receive input from Google users (its just like a voting system, only way cooler)
Having a bad day at work and feel like killing some of those …

Easy Google Pagerank Determination

Here is a very cool trick (Found by Jimmy) to determine Google Pagerank on websites by modifying your search query URL on Google Search.

Chrome Nightly: mini_installer.exe isn’t updating

I downloaded the latest nightly build of Chrome, only to realize that the mini_installer.exe wouldn’t update my Chrome installation on Windows 7. I would run the executable, but nothing would happen. Finally, I decided to change the compatibility to Windows Vista and Vola!, it worked!

No matter if you delete the mini_installer.exe, the settings should stay the same for any mini_installer.exe in that same folder (Desktop?). …

Adsense Disabled my Account! New Ads!

I was contacted by Google yesterday about my AdSense account. I guess our ads were “a risk to Adsense’s publishers” (more here), when really I think the issue was that we were getting close to our first payout. I immediately appealed, however I noticed that less than 1% of all appeals actually get approved and the account reinstated. That wasn’t very good odds, so I went searching for new companies.
I came along AdBrite, which is known for having problems with their Contextual matches and totally unrelated ads, however they were the …
