To say that Filipinos have a better appreciation and understanding of American language and culture than people from India, China and other providers of outsourcing services is a gross understatement.

For starters, the Philippines was colonized by Americans for 48 years during which Filipinos were taught how to speak english in schools patterned after their American counterparts. When the country was given its independence in 1946, the government that was created was also very similar to that of the United States. And today, due to the highly Westernized media in the Philippines, Filipinos are up-to-date with almost everything that happens in the US, whether it’s current affairs, fashion, technology, entertainment or anything else.

This article discusses how network attached storage can improve your media center experience.

User of Mac Mini are increasingly facing the need to share the media files over the computers in the home network. Some might even want to stream iTunes music without turning on the computer. We all have different requirements for an additional storage, but as the need for more storage increases it often needs to be accessible from more than one place. This is where a Network Hard Drive (also know as Network Attached Storage NAS) become very tempting option.

Gigabit Ethernet

After trying with my old Ethernet router I realized that both wireless and 100MB Ethernet felt quite sluggish especially if I wanted to work with HD video files. After buying a new gigabit router (Apple Airport Extreme), the network hard drive read and write speed felt about the same as using computer’s own internal hard drive. So upgrading your home network to 1000MB Ethernet really makes a difference, particularly as gigabit routers are not so expensive anymore.

Two Hard Drives in RAID 1

It is important not to use only one external hard drive to store your backups. If your backup hard drive fails, you will lose all your data. Thus, I recommend having at least two hard drives in RAID operation.

RAID 1 is the main setup most beginners considering buying a network hard drive should now about. RAID 1 writes, or mirrors, data to multiple disks, so you will have multiple hard drives with the exactly same data. This way if one hard drive fails, you still have another copy. Buying two or more hard drives can feel a little costly, but remember that losing your data will be extremely costly.

Synology Network Hard Drive

I use Synology DS209+ Network Hard Drive with 2 x 1TB hard drives inside. If you have a Mac, you can also use Synology as a Time Machine. Synology also provides a good backup software for Windows. Synology is quite expensive and might feel difficult to use for networking beginners, but it offers excellent throughput speed and nearly all the features you could ever need from a network hard drive.

One simple, but important feature that many external hard drives do not have is that Synology shuts down the hard drives after certain time of inactivity. Then it automatically turns hard drives on if you search any data from the hard drive. Lacking this functionality can be very annoying with external hard drives as you need separately turn them on when you need to access data.

Synology has also made mapping a hard drive very easy on Windows machines with their Synology Assistant. This is particularly useful for beginners who do not know how to map network drives in Windows.

There a lot of features packed with the Synology hard drives iTunes server functionality being one of the useful ones. This means that you can stream your iTunes music on any computer with iTunes without turning on the computer where your media files would normally locate. In practice, iTunes server functionality is nice, but not necessary in my setup.

Lastly, here is a useful tip as a take away. You can easily make a network drive available on iTunes or other media players by adding a shortcut into the iTunes folder pointing to the network hard drive. E.g. you create Podcasts shortcut into iTunes Music folder pointing to a folder located on the network hard drive. This way all your Podcasts will be automatically downloaded into a network hard drive instead of your computer’s own.

So in summary, I recommend considering getting a network hard drive with a RAID 1 mirroring functionality to share media files across the digital living room while ensuring that everything is safely backed up.

Profit sharing opportunities are when the opportunity owners split a percent of all the profits made by the company to all its members.

To better understand the concept of profit sharing I want here to present an example:

One very popular profit sharing opportunity online is Push Button Extreme, It’s very young but very popular and had proven its existence online. When you join the opportunity you will be put in a cycling matrix and each time you complete a cycle you will earn a commission.

However you will not ever make more than what you pay for the opportunity by only cycling and you could even be put in a matrix that is not growing and you will be stuck in the same possession forever. This program is not a scam but has so many bugs in it but I still like it and keep making money from it.

They also have some kind of a pool and you will have a share of the pool depending on how many members you have brought to the opportunity in that month.

Another example is MyWorldPlus opportunity, but with this opportunity the owners are more honest they explain the earning exactly and explain that you need to refer others to the opportunity to make profits, they will give you a ranking in the program depend on how many members you have directly referred to the opportunity and with that rank you will have a share from 20 percent of the total profits of the company. This way you will earn high commission from your direct referral program and have a share of the profits made by other members in the opportunity.

There are other profit sharing opportunities that claim that they will pay you a share of the profit by doing nothing, and that’s impossible, they may pay you something that could not even reach 50% of what you pay them, and it does not mean profit.

Profit is when you get paid more than what you invest, and legitimate profit sharing opportunities will do that and pay you profits only when you refer others to the opportunity, it means selling their membership to others and earn commission per sale.

Some people think that profit sharing opportunities are easy money, but deep inside they know that there is no such thing easy money, except for the owners of the opportunity. Earning profits online mean one thing and one thing only, you will earn a profit from an action and effort you are doing.

Some profit sharing opportunities work as pay it upward, that mean when you join you will pay money to your sponsor and two or more other members and you will get paid from other members joining after you, and logic will tell you that there are no profits here, there is only money moving from one person to another, and the worst part is that the owner will be hidden always as one of the members everyone is paying. This kind of opportunities has no product to offer and they are scams created to make the owners some fast easy money.

Legitimate profit sharing opportunities, are paying a share of their profits to their members only to empower them and make them work harder. In all cases the company must offer a product to their members and give them high commission for each sale they directly make.

If you think that any one will pay you profits (more money than you have invested in the program) you are mistaken. You can get a share of the profits from huge companies that make millions of dollars online like SFI Group, but only after working so hard to prove you are worthy of that share. And you can do it, everyone can. It only requires determination and hard work and you can start making millions of dollars online.
