Ok, this is a copy and paste from their website…

This is AGLOCO™ ’s proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!

How does this work? Once you sign up on their website, when available you will be able to download the Viewbar software, a free toolbar-sized application (half the size of a traditional Windows tool bar) that quietly sits on your desktop without ever hampering your online habits. That’s all you need to do! Just continue using the Internet as you used to… no need to change your habits!

Do you have several individuals using one computer? You can have different AGLOCO™ viewbars to fit the profile of each user.

Don’t want to see or use the Viewbar at any given time? Just minimize it and the Viewbar stops working!

There are different ways AGLOCO™ can make money for its Members:

* Cash: You get cash by surfing the Internet while the Viewbar is running. AGLOCO™ ’s profits are distributed back to its Members. And you can also receive real-time discounts should you choose to purchase from AGLOCO™ ’s partners. They will never include gambling or adult entertainment sites as partners.

* Shares: In addition to cash, AGLOCO™ will give out shares in the company to its Members. Eventually, AGLOCO™ plans to go public and will be traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM. You can start earning stock options by keeping Viewbar active while you surf. In addition, you will gain extra shares by referring active users to AGLOCO™ (they lose nothing).

The more people join AGLOCO™ , the more value the community can generate for itself. The company believes those that build the community deserve more: your own profits become larger the more people you refer. You can accumulate hours not only from your Internet activity but also from those who you refer, and their referrals too… Up to 5 levels underneath you! For example, if you refer 10 people and all of them refer 5 people each, you could make over 7000 shares a month*!

Remember, this is all free, you don’t lose anything, all you have to do is sign up, download the Viewbar and that’s it. Build your network and refer friends, family and colleagues to AGLOCO™ and earn even more!

The guys behind this idea include several Stanford MBA’s and a few individuals who started AllAdvantage back in 1998, which gave over $100 million to its users before falling victim to the burst of the internet bubble. Today, the context is much more favorable: The sophistication of on-line commerce, the rapid emergence of communities, the wealth of advertising revenue sources, etc. Isn’t it time you got your share of the Internet?

Don’t wait any longer. This is a win-win opportunity, and you’ll make it even more profitable for yourself when you start referring friends and relatives before others get to them! Since I assume you learned about AGLOCO™ thanks to my website*, please don’t forget to add my referee ID when signing up: BBBB5535. Click here to sign up directly!

What I think about this? It doesn’t hurt to to install. I also tag this under Java. Why? Because it looks like their website uses LifeRay Portal. Actually, I am pretty sure they use Liferay Portal to power their website. I must say, they really did some good tweaking to the templates, cause it looks very much different then the default view.

My sister show me an article today. Michael Backman, an internationally renowned writer and columnist wrote an article “While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry” which was published on TheAge. My sister read the article 3 times I think, each time… getting more disappointed with the country which we were born and grown up in. More and more Malaysian, especially the younger generations now know more about our country, thanks to a wonderful and unrestricted tool… the Internet. The article mention about how the Malaysia Government calculate the 30 percent corporate equity to be in Malay hands, yes… the NEP… which was suppose to expire decade(s) ago. The recent figure released by the Government is 18.9%. They then justify the extension of NEP with this figure.

18.9%? BULLSZZzzzzZ.

Want to know more about NEP and how my Government use kids algorithm to get this value? The person who comes out with this figure should be FIRED!!! Anyway, more about this can be found at MalaysiaKini.com.

He also wonders why Malaysian are so proud of our Twin Towers when we have almost nothing to do with it. Yes yes… it wasn’t built or design by Malaysians…Suria KLCC is not run by Malaysians…. but then again, seeing it on Malaysian land does make me feel proud of those towers. Although most of my foreigner friends still can’t tell where is Malaysia.

Then, there is the first Malaysian in space hype. I do remember seeing a competition on the newspaper when they were looking for a candidate. The competition is open to all Malaysian… but even then, it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to know the candidate WILL be a Malay male. You can have 100 Chinese, Indians and 1 Malay in the competition, in the end the Malay will be the candidate. I have to agree with Michael on how we are wasting RM95million on a stupid space program. We are sending a Malaysian to the space to main gasing and make Teh Tarik… WTF???! RM95 million can repair all the schools in Malaysia, repair that near my house which never seems to be fully repaired (after 2 weeks, there will be another hole), replace all the ancient copper wires in Klang Valley to fix our expensive and unreliable broadband or, you could just place it in a fixed deposit (I think Austrialia is giving 6%?) and use the interest to provide us with more Education Fund. At least doing so my brother don’t have to depend fully on my mother’s EPF for his education in the US next month.

I am really unhappy with the way things are right now… and the way our Government do things. For example, our national car manufacturer - Proton. Why are we still producing and selling Iswara? or Wira? Toyota has stop producing AE86 (the Initial D car) a long time ago. Why is the quality still so bad? Even the latest car… Satria Neo has so much problems. The Government spoon feed Proton and MAS too much. Perudua on the other hand, has improve alot, that’s why I am driving a Perudua MyVi. Yes, it is actually Toyota Passo or the Daihatsu…. something, but Perudua engineers did take part in the design and engineering.

I am also pretty pissed off that we are so far behind Singapore. I still remember the time when RM 1 == SGD 1. Now?!!

Anyway… after reading that article, you also might want to checkout Michael’s reply to all the Malaysians who emailed him regarding the article he wrote, just click here.

*UPDATE 24 November 2006*
I just read an article at Malaysiakini… which makes me wanna vomit more. Our blinded politicians said that Michael as an foreigner don’t understand Malaysia…. well maybe it’s true but I think Michael’s article is a great VOICE for the Raykat.

*this is not a Sheltox advertisement.*

I don’t know which word to use… amazing?? scariest?? disgusting?? I was doing my work as usual… (2:30am), then suddenly… those flying ants… I think it’s white ants start attacking me. I thought it’s just a few… so I didn’t care. After about 30 seconds…. the number increase several fold! I realize I am looking at not 10s…but 100s! My first word was SHIT.

I then wake my brother then my parents. Cause this is some serious infestation, the family has to know! Since those insect are attracted to lights and heat, I turn off the lights at my study area, and turn on my staircase light. Then guess what? It wasnt 100s…there were 1000s!!! Ok, picture speak louder than words.

Let’s start with the staircase area….

scary hor? Now look at the wall…

My Dad then use his trusty Sheltox and start spraying like it’s free. Here is at the car park.

The aftermath… thousands of soldiers died that night.

I dont understand, we have Rentokill pest controller coming to our house to inspect every month… I think someone is not doing their job right. I am pretty sure I will get a month free by showing them those evidence.

So guys, keep at least 1 Sheltox in your house. I will be getting a dozen.

My good buddy just started his blog. He is a talented designer, so you could look for him if you wanna design brochures, menu….even websites.

If you checkout his blog, you will see the difference between a designer (him) and a technical person (me!).
