India launches communication satellite GSAT-10 ...

Bangalore: India?s advanced communication satellite GSAT-10 was successfully launched early today on board Ariane-5 rocket from Europe?s spaceport in French Guiana. GSAT-10, with a design life of 15 years, is expected to be operational by November and will augment telecommunication, Direct-To-Home and radio navigation services. At 3,400 kg lift-off, GSAT-10 is the heaviest built by the Indian Space Research Organisation. It was ISRO?s 101st space mission.
GSAT-10 is fitted with 30 transponders, 12 Ku-band, 12 C-band and six Extended C-Band, which will provide vital augmentation to INSAT and GSAT transponder capacity. It also has a navigation payload GAGAN, GPS aided Geo Augmented Navigation that would provide improved accuracy of GPS signals to be used by Airports Authority of India for civil aviation requirements.

This is the second satellite in INSAT and GSAT constellation with GAGAN payload after GSAT-8, launched in May 2011.

ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan was at space agency?s Master Control Facility at Hassan in Karnataka. Minutes after the launch he said the Master Control Facility has already taken command and control of the satellite. He said they expect to operationalise GSAT-10 and make it available to the user community by November this year.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z is a very good Windows 7 all-in-one business desktop. It's got quad core power, plenty of system memory, and a responsive two-point touch screen. Unfortunately, Windows 8 is right around the corner with new requirements that the system doesn't quite match.

Design and Features
The M92z is built out of standard black ThinkCentre plastic, and it looks essentially like a monitor with built-in speakers. It's very corporate-looking, matching the Lenovo components and ThinkPads you may have around your office. The system's 23-inch screen has a two-finger touch screen using the more established infrared touch technology, rather than the newer capacitive touch found on newer PCs. This isn't a problem for most business use, as corporate IT departments are unlikely to switch to Windows 8 anytime soon. Touch functionality on Windows 8 is optimized for five to ten point touch screens.

The screen is sunken into the bezel because of the IR sensors, which is less clean looking than the seamless capacitive screens like that of the M92z's consumer cousin, the Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 ($1,449 list, 4 stars) . That said, the touch screen was responsive, and the system's IPS panel was bright and visible from a wide angle. The system came mounted to a height-adjustable, pivoting and tilting monitor stand that tilted far back enough that standing users could comfortably use the system while standing. This is good for kiosk and POS (point of sale) applications like in a retial environment.

The M92z came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, which can be stowed if they're not needed. The keyboard in particular was comfortable to use and the keys felt great to type upon due to their concave, semi-oval shape. The keyboard/mouse combo uses a USB wireless dongle, which fits in one of the system's four USB 2.0 ports on the back panel. Alongside the USB 2.0 ports on the back are an Ethernet port, DisplayPort-in, DisplayPort-out, and a Kensington lock port. DisplayPort-out is useful for connecting a second monitor, while DisplayPort-in can support an additional laptop (provided it has DisplayPort) or desktop. DisplayPort-in can also extend the life of the system, since it can act like a monitor after the rest of the system has been deemed obsolete. We would like to see HDMI-in to support other devices, but since the ThinkCentre line is so business-oriented, the lack of HDMI is not a deal breaker.

Two USB 3.0 ports, audio jacks, plus a SD-based media card slot are on the left side. The system's tray-loading DVD drive is on the right side of the system. The webcam on top of the screen has a physical shutter, so you can be assured the camera is off when you're not using it. That's important for businesses with privacy policies, like government offices. It matches the innovative webcam shutter system we saw on the Lenovo ThinkCentre M71z ($917 direct, 4 stars) .

Like most Lenovo business systems, the M92z comes free of extra icons on the desktop. There are a few programs built into the system's SimpleTap touch-oriented interface, but you have to manually turn that on for the first time. You'll find eBay, Kayak, PayPal, and other services there. It's not ideal, but at least Lenovo made an effort to make some of the services work in the touch interface. It's certainly a better solution than putting a dozen extra icons all over the system.

Performance
The M92z comes with an Intel Core i7-3770S processor, 8GB of memory, a 1TB hard drive, and Intel HD Graphics 4000. The combo is good enough for a 3,872 point score on PCMark 7, a test of the system's day-to-day performance. This is slightly faster than our midrange all in one Editors' Choice, the Asus ET2701INKI-B046C ($1,399 list, 4 stars) (3,512 points) , which has the same processor (but less memory). Both certainly outperform the aging Apple iMac 21.5-inch (Thunderbolt) ($1,199 list, 4.5 stars) (2,581 points) . Odd, since Apple is continuing to sell this model even though it is over a year old.

The M92z also did well on our multimedia tests: 1 minute 8 seconds on our Handbrake video test, 2:51 on our Photoshop CS5 test. The CS5 test in particular was fast for all-in-one PCs;p only the Asus ET2701INKI-B046C can match it. Systems like the recently reviewed Toshiba LX835-D3230 ($999 list, 3.5 stars) (1:17 Handbrake, 3:20 CS5) lagged behind the M92z. The 3D performance is as to be expected from an integrated Intel HD system: good for video, but only passable to poor for challenging 3D games like Crysis or Lost Planet 2. The system is fine playing casual games like Angry Birds or MMORPGs like World of Warcraft.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z is a very good all-in-one PC for business. The system we tested came with 8GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive, so it can support even content creation workers like web layout folks and desktop publishing. It's certainly more than a match for the aging Apple iMac 21.5-inch platform and other utilitarian systems like the Toshiba LX835 series. However, its lack of 10-finger touch is likely to be a significant factor in future Windows 8 rollouts, so the system's eventual useful life has to be tempered by that omission. (That said, you can always use a Windows 8 optomized keyboard and mouse, but it's not the same as having a 10-point-touch screen.) It's not terrible: The system is one of the better Windows 7 touch-screen PCs out there. But the lack of 10-finger touch hold it back from unseating systems like the Asus ET2701INKI-B046C, our current midrange all in one Editors' Choice systems.

Original 2007 Google-powered iPhone maps app reportedly built by 2 engineers in 3 weeks

I've read more than I ever wanted to about maps this week, but this story about how the original, Google-powered Maps.app was built for the original iPhone caught my attention. Here it s from Nick Wingfield and Brian X. Chen of The New York Times:

Including a maps app on the first iPhone was not even part of the company?s original plan as the phone?s unveiling approached in January 2007. Just weeks before the event, Mr. Jobs ordered a mapping app to show off the capabilities of the touch-screen device.

Two engineers put together a maps app for the presentation in three weeks, said a former Apple engineer who worked on iPhone software, and who declined to be named because he did not want to speak publicly about his previous employer. The company hastily cut a deal with Google to use its map data.

2 engineers. 3 weeks. Apple has spent the last year or more and who knows how many engineering hours trying to roll a new maps app. It looks nice, but iOS 6 Maps currently locates my house in the middle of a park, when I try to find a place to get my car rust proofed -- because winter is coming -- I get the wrong area code and a phone number that consists only of 443-0, and if I want to take a train downtown I suddenly need to buy an app for that.

Yet in 2007 Google's data was good enough for 2 Apple engineers to make a decent, if feature limited iPhone app in 3 weeks. That just goes to show you how important data quality is for something like maps, and how little a nice looking interface matters when you can't find something on it.

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook has already apologized for the current status of iOS 6 Maps, but not for taking away Google's much more reliable data (even though the results seem to have been fairly predictable. I don't expect him to either, any more than I expect Apple to apologize for dumping Safari RSS or X11.

People keep saying iOS 6 Maps will get better just by virtue of all of us using it. I'll correct my house, and use Google to find and correct the phone number of the anti-rust place (no idea how I can help fix the lack of train information though...) But it's going to take a lot more than me, or any of us, simply feeding Apple data to make a proper maps app. It's going to take Apple investing as heavily and determinedly as Google has over the last decade, but doing it much, much, much faster. It's going to take tons of money and a Herculean effort. Apple has tons of money. Let's hope Cook and company are serious about putting in the effort.

The Times also repeats that Google was "blindsided" by Apple ditching their mapping data, which at this point is so ridiculous as to just make Google look disingenuous at best and deceptive at worst. If Apple still used Google's data, iOS 6 Maps would be fantastic. Google still has Google data. The moment Apple bought a mapping company in 2009 Google should have had an independent iOS app started as a skunkworks project. The moment iOS 6 Maps leaked before WWDC, Google should have been going full tilt. 2 engineers in 3 weeks? How does Google not have an iOS Maps app of their own ready yet?

Imprisoned Tymoshenko makes video appeal

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) ? Ukraine's jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko urged her country Saturday to defeat President Viktor Yanukovych's party in next month's parliamentary election.

In an emotional video appeal, Tymoshenko accused Yanukovych of turning Ukraine into a "police state."

Her lawyer says the video, filmed Friday, was recorded by him on a cellphone in a hospital where she is receiving treatment for back pain. It was the first such video since the former prime minister was jailed over a year ago on charges of abusing her office during natural gas import negotiations with Russia in 2009.

The West has condemned her imprisonment as politically motivated and the European Union has put on hold a key cooperation deal with Kiev over Tymoshenko's jailing.

Tymoshenko, 51, the country's top opposition leader, denies all the charges against her, and accuses Yanukovych of throwing her in jail to bar her from the contesting the Oct. 28 election.

In the video, Tymoshenko urges Ukrainians to support her party in the vote and end what she called Yanukovych's "criminal" rule.

"Today, unfortunately, the whole country lives under a criminal authority," said a pale-looking Tymoshenko, wearing a white shirt, her hair combed into a long blond braid.

Yanukovych's Party of Regions hopes to maintain its parliamentary majority, but will struggle to do so in the face of an opposition re-energized by Tymoshenko's jailing. The next presidential election is in 2015.

Yanukovych's office declined to comment on the video.

Speaking at the University of Mississippi,?Holder?said Thursday night he wished such pre-approval was no longer necessary. But he said that discrimination is not dead, pointing to a recent federal court decision that concluded Texas lawmakers had unfairly drawn legislative districts to exclude minorities.

Holder?called federal preclearance of voting laws in the mostly southern states "a vital part of our enforcement action."

Holder's?18-minute speech was among Ole Miss events marking the 50th anniversary of the admission of James Meredith as its first black student. U.S. marshals battled rioters in 1961 so Meredith could attend classes.

In New Guinea, peace comes with a price

Local restitution rulings quelled years of warfare in a nonstate society

Web edition : Thursday, September 27th, 2012

After 15 years of intense warfare, Papua New Guinea?s Enga society recently gave peace a fighting chance. Outdoor village courts, which had formerly settled local disputes, resolved many bloody conflicts between Enga clans by determining how much communities should compensate one another for murders and other offenses.

The Enga demonstrate that small-scale societies can devise effective, sophisticated means for peacemaking, say anthropologist Polly Wiessner of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Nitze Pupu, a lawyer and researcher at the Enga Tradition and Transition Center in Papua New Guinea. Their analysis appears in the Sept. 28 Science.

Researchers have documented higher rates of murder and warfare in many hunter-gatherer groups and village-based societies than in modern nations (SN: 2/6/88, p. 90). The new work underscores an often overlooked tension in nonstate societies between the constant danger of violence, particularly from young men, and efforts to restrain lethal conflicts, usually organized by women and older men, says Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker.

?These homegrown peacemaking measures are not sufficient to maintain law and order in complex societies, where the might of a state is needed,? Pinker says. ?And the Enga, even at their most peaceable, have homicide rates several times higher than those of modern Western nations.?

Enga villagers grow sweet potatoes and raise pigs in highland Papua New Guinea. The researchers consulted historical accounts of 84 Enga wars going back 350 years. Village court data on 501 clan wars that took place between 1991 and 2010, records from 129 village court sessions and national census data were also analyzed.

Wars among bow-and-arrow?wielding Enga clans broke out shortly after sweet potatoes reached their island 350 years ago. Around 1850, clans began making peace with enemies via payments of pigs and other valuables.

Village courts were established in 1974 to rule on local disputes and expanded in 1982 to handle clan conflicts.

In 1990, young Enga males aligned with hired mercenaries began using guns to conduct ambushes and raids on various clans, causing a spike in warfare. Clan wars killed 4,816 people between 1991 and 2010, about 1 percent of the Enga population. Today, Enga clans consist of 350 to more than 1,000 people.

Starting in 2005, the number of killings and the length of wars declined steadily. Clan and church leaders, exhausted by years of carnage, turned to village courts as peacemakers. Armed with cell phones and vehicles to reach trouble spots quickly, village court magistrates handed down rulings on how much one clan should compensate another for various offenses.

The Enga?s style of peacemaking represents one way in which small-scale societies tamp down feuds, characterized by members of rival groups committing revenge killings out of a sense of honor, remarks anthropologist Christopher Boehm of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Hunter-gatherer populations also use restitution and other strategies to defuse revenge killings, and have probably done so for at least the past 45,000 years, Boehm adds.

Contrary to their reputation as cauldrons of endless revenge killings, small-scale societies frequently reward adept conflict mediators with perks that include arranging high-status marriages for peacemakers? children, Wiessner says. State societies were built on peacemaking tendencies honed in small-scale societies, she proposes.

MEXICO CITY (AP) ? Mexican marines acting on U.S. intelligence seized the leader of a breakaway faction of the hyper-violent Zetas cartel, officials said Thursday, proclaiming the third such arrest in a month as a victory for a binational strategy focused on removing the leadership of Mexico's powerful organized crime groups.

Ivan Velazquez Caballero, known as "El Taliban," was seized by a team of marines in the northern city of San Luis Potosi, the Mexican navy said. He becomes the 24th of Mexico's 37 most-wanted alleged cartel leaders to be killed or captured under President Felipe Calderon, who escalated Mexico's war on drug gangs days after taking office and who ends his term in two months.

Calderon has been praised by the U.S. for his assault on the cartels, but heatedly criticized inside Mexico for an excessive focus on using armed force and arresting gang leaders.

Critics say his approach splintered cartels into dozens of smaller factions, increasing the competition among them and fueling a brutal war for control of smuggling routes before Mexico had an adequate law-enforcement and justice system in place.

"You lose the leadership and the group starts fighting for power. We've seen that with every group that's been beheaded," said Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera, an expert on the Zetas' home state of Tamaulipas, and chair of the government department at The University of Texas at Brownsville.

The government said at least 47,500 people had been killed in drug-related violence during Calderon's term before it stopped releasing figures last year. Independent observers say the death toll could be many thousands higher.

Velazquez Caballero allegedly has been fighting a bloody internal battle with top Zetas' leader Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, and officials have said the split was behind a recent surge in massacres and shootouts, particularly in northern Mexico.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration declined to comment on the potential for more violence in the wake of the arrest.

Velazquez Caballero is the third alleged cartel leader to be taken into custody this month. All are accused of leading factions of the Gulf Cartel or Zetas, former allies now feuding over valuable smuggling territory along the U.S. border. The alleged heads of the two main factions of the Gulf group, Mario Cardenas Guillen and Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez, were also seized in Navy operations in northern Mexico.

"This is another big fish, it's another great catch by the Mexicans," DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said. He said the arrest emerged from close intelligence sharing between the two countries.

"We're there, we assist and sometimes we try to pass along information that's beneficial. We helped them," he said. "We help them connect the dots. If somebody's got sources on this side of the border, we may know of somebody here who has information about what's going on south of the border, and we would pass that information along."

The Zetas are one of Mexico's two most powerful cartels and are considered the hemisphere's most violent criminal organization. They have been blamed for a large share of the Mexico's drug war deaths, though other gangs also have repeatedly committed mass slayings.

The head of the other dominant cartel, Sinaloa cartel head Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, remains free, and there have been far fewer arrests of his associates.

Navy spokesman Jose Luis Vergara said marines acting on unspecified intelligence were patrolling in the city of San Luis Potosi when they spotted a group of men leaving a house. When the men spotted the marines, they moved suspiciously back into the house, Vergara said, and marines followed, arresting Velazquez Caballero and two other men inside.

Also known as "Z-50," Velazquez Caballero has a 30 million peso ($2.3 million) reward on his head. Masked marines displayed the burly, handcuffed suspect alongside two alleged accomplices and a table of guns and other contraband seized during his arrest.

On Sept. 14, eight men were found shot to death and one hanging from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo, territory officials say was traditionally controlled by Trevino Morales, alias "Z-40."

Aanalysts say 14 bullet-ridden bodies stuffed in a van in mid-August in San Luis Potosi were men loyal to "El Taliban," and may have been left there as a warning by Trevino Morales' underlings.

"If 'El Taliban' had groups of gunmen under his command, violence could be unleashed, because they've only captured a leader and not his subordinates," said Raul Benitez, a security expert at Mexico's National Autonomous University. "But when someone's been switching sides, no one knows how many forces he's got."

A U.S. official said Velazquez Caballero appeared to have formed an alliance of convenience with the Knights Templar cartel based in the southern state of Michoacan for his fight with Trevino Morales. A Mexican Navy official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said Mexican officials had heard the reports of the alliance but had yet to confirm them.

Banners signed by various elements of the Zetas and hung from overpasses in several Mexican states appeared to confirm mutual hatred between Trevino Morales and Velazquez Caballero. In the obscenity-laden banners, the two accused each other of betraying fellow traffickers and preying on civilians.

The development could strengthen Trevino Morales, who shares allegedly leadership of the Zetas with Heriberto Lazcano, alias "El Lazca." Vergara said Velazquez Caballero had controlled drug-smuggling territory in the states of Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and parts of Guanajuato and Coahuila, and also commanded Zetas foot soldiers in the city of Monterrey. Velazquez Caballero was also described as the one-time financial head of the Zetas, with responsibility for the group's money laundering.

Vergara confirmed Velazquez Caballero had feuded with Trevino Morales, and said he had been seeking an alliance with the Gulf Cartel.

Former Filipino street kid, 13, wins International Children's Peace Prize

By Isolde Raftery, NBC News

As a child living in the Philippines, Kesz Valdez was beaten by his father, forced to make money to buy him drugs and alcohol.

At 4, Kesz ran away to a dump site, struggling to stay alive. After he was gravely wounded from falling in a pile of burning tires, a man named Harnin Manalaysay cared for him and eventually became his guardian.

On his seventh birthday, Kesz told Manalaysay that he didn?t want birthday presents. Rather, he wanted to give gifts to street kids. Now Kesz is 13, and his charity, Championing Community Children, has given gifts to 5,000 street kids in Cavite City, an act of selflessness that has earned Kesz the 2012 International Children?s Peace Prize, an honor that comes with $130,000.

---

Today, Kesz educates children living on the streets about personal hygiene and he takes care of their wounds, according to a video made about his story.

"I teach the children how to wash hands properly, brush their teeth daily and bathe regularly. I believe that some of these street children we save will pay the act forward to help champion their own communities," he told GMA News Online.

Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu, a retired Anglican bishop from South Africa who opposed Apartheid, presented the award on Sept. 19.

?These young people show the incredible resilience in the human spirit,? Tutu said of the three children before him. ?I congratulate this year?s winner.?

Said Kesz, according to the prize website: ?My message to all children around the globe is; our health is our wealth! Being healthy will enable you to play, to think clearly, to get up and go to school and love the people around you in so many ways. To everyone in the world, please remember that every day, 6,000 children die from diseases associated with poor sanitation, poor hygiene, and we can do something about it! Please join me in helping street children achieve better health and better lives.?

He dedicated his award to his guardian, Manalaysay, GMA News Online reported.

"I look up to him as a father. He is the first person who made me feel loved so it is only fitting to dedicate this award to him," Kesz said.

Scolari says he plans to coach again in 2013

Associated Press Sports

updated 6:33 p.m. ET Sept. 25, 2012

SAO PAULO (AP) -Brazilian World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari says he is likely to start managing again in 2013.

He says he expects to "get a coaching job again next year," although without elaborating whether it will be with a club or a national team. The 63-year-old Scolari has said in the past that he wants to manage a national team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Scolari, who led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title, and eight-time national champion Palmeiras mutually ended their contract two weeks ago because the coach had failed to get the team out of relegation zone.

Scolari's comments Tuesday came as Brazil's sports ministry announced he will work as a consultant, giving speeches to young Brazilians about his sports experience and promoting the World Cup.

Motorola Atrix 2 soak test points to some sort of update

Good news, everyone! Maybe. There apparently is a soak test going out for the Motorola Atrix 2 this afternoon. Is it the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update? Dunno, and Motorola's site still just says "Further plans coming soon." We'll keep our fingers crossed, though.

Here's the text of the message:

Thanks for signing up for the Atrix 2 software test. Our apologies for the delay in starting this test! The software will begin to be pushed out later this afternoon; however, it may take several hours for all targeted devices to receive the update.

 

We're eager to hear your feedback. Please share your experience on the private community provided, and via the survey I will send out after you've had some time to work with the software.

To ensure we hear you, please follow these guidelines:

• Please post all your feedback in our private community (link below). This also where you'll find help during the soak.
• Please do not call or contact Motorola, AT&T or your carrier support for help during the soak. Those teams are not yet ready to support this software.
• I'm not able to check private messages on the forums during soaks, so if you need immediate help that's not a good route to take. Post in the community instead.
• If you have any problems accessing the private community, please click here for help.
• Please do not post questions publicly, on our site or elsewhere.

Please start your visit to the private community here. You'll find additional important information in the Welcome message as soon as you sign in. (Note that you will not be able to post in the public communities during the soak test.)

Thanks so much for your participation! We really appreciate your time and insights.

Keep your ears to the ground, folks.

Do only geeks run internet business marketing?

Author (thirtygrandamonth42). Submitted on Mon, 24 Sep 2012

Do only geeks run internet business marketing ? or can anyone make money this way? How much technical expertise do you need to have a best internet business?

The good news is that you need very little technical knowledge in order to make money very successfully running a business on the internet. Obviously you need to have the basic computer skills. But then you can go to the experts who will help you get started. Don?t try and take short cuts with your website: it will pay handsomely to go to a website expert to get your site well designed and user-friendly. After all, people surfing the web tend to be impatient: they want the sites they visit to be easy to use, they want quick responses to their clicks, and they want everything on the site to work properly. Nothing puts a potential client off an online business like a link that does not do what it is meant to do.

You can also get the experts to give you guidance about optimizing your site for the search engines to find easily. After all, if you want to make money with your internet business, the search engines have to bring it up quickly, as one of the first sites on the page when your potential clients make an enquiry. If your site only appears on page 23 of a Google or Bing search, your customers won?t even be aware that your business exists.

These days the most amazing things are sold and bought via best internet businesses, and new kinds of businesses are also arising simply because the internet is there and giving us the convenience of doing business in new ways. So, even if your previous skills and interests are very far removed from computers and the internet, you can still make money from an online business. You can get ideas for businesses by going online and researching the types of such businesses that exist. Or you can just sit and daydream about the tasks you are familiar with and the things that interest you and thinking ?No, wouldn?t it be nice if?? You never know: you might just find a niche market in which you could operate. Before you know it you could be making money from your own internet business.

After all, it is much nicer to be your own boss and benefit fully from the money that you make than to work for somebody else and have to accept the salary that he gives you. Your internet business marketing can allow you to work in a field you find interesting and stimulating and at the same time earn you money. When you need some technical help there are plenty of geeks out there who will happily help and advise you: many of them are running their own best internet businesses in order to earn money, so look upon your plea for assistance as a great opportunity for them. There is no need to feel embarrassed about asking them to fix a problem for you: they are only too please to do so.

New Business Model That Can Make You $10,000 Per Month

written by John Chow on September 25, 2012

When I was at ThinkTank last week, I met up with 30 of the biggest Internet marketers in the business. One of them was Matt Lloyd. Matt flew all the way from Australia to join me on the beach at Del Mar. His story is extremely interesting and inspirational.

Matt went from a moving lawns and college drop-out, to making his first million online by age 25. Along the way, he developed a revolutionary new Internet marketing business model, that took him from making a measly $700 a month online to over $150,000 per month in less than one year?s time. Below is a screenshot of his actual monthly revenue from July 2011 to May 2012.

While Matt is clearing over $150,000 per month with his Internet Marketing Revolution, he says anyone can use the model to add an extra $10K a month to their bottom line. He even created a handbook on how to do just that.

The IM Revolution Handbook

The IM Revolution Handbook reveals the ?nuts and bolts? of Matt?s proven business model ? how it works, how it converts your leads into sales, and how you get paid for being a part of it. The information in the manual has taken Matt years and over $150,000 to produce. It contains many of the most closely-guarded secrets of the Top Internet marketers. The information could easily be used to build a million-dollar business online.

The IM Revolution Handbook is available for download until midnight (EST) Thursday September 27. After then, you may not see it again. Go get your copy now.
