Earn A Little Extra Money Online - With Virtually No Effort

That sounds a little too good to be true but I promise you that for once, it isn't. Qmee is a search add-on that'll pay you just for searching the web. No strings attached. All communications are encrypted and Qmee doesn't change the actual results you see: it just presents a sidebar with other relevant results (like above) and you'll get paid a couple of pennies if you click one of them.

It's not megabucks and it won't be enough to feed a family of four but it's an extra one or two pounds a week for doing I already do for free. I've been using it for months now and I'd recommend it to anyone.

You can download Qmee here.

Flash Won't Work in Firefox - "Flash Player 11.3.300 Required"

So I was messing about on Betfair, hoping to net a tidy profit on some of the World Cup matches (not likely!) when I noticed they'd given me some free spins on their Live Casino service. Not likely to pass up the chance to win some risk-free money, I promptly headed on over there only to find my version of Flash was not up to their high expectations.

After doing a bit of forum browsing, I'd read that Adobe had stop putting out usable updates for Firefox in uBuntu a while back. Thankfully there is a solution. I suspect there is a better way but what is most certainly the quickest and easiest way is to download and install Google Chrome (Note: not Chromium that is installed via the Software centre).

This shouldn't take more than five or ten minutes and when running, Chrome comes with the latest version of Flash installed so every Flash application should run smoothly.

unrar x -kb (path to file)

The broken file should then appear in your home directory.
