Survey Savvy – Survey Site Review (Dec 2011)

Name: Survey Savvy

Link: https://www.surveysavvy.com/

Who Is Eligible To Participate: Pretty much anyone

Type of Award Or Payment: Sweepstakes / Cash / Prizes

Points or Cash Normally Earned Per Survey: $0.00 USD/CAD

Sign-Up Time: Medium length

How Many Survey Invitations Should You Expect Per Week: 0 – 5

How Long Does It Take To Collect A Reward Or Cash Out: Well honestly probably way longer then you’d ever want to wait…

Do They Spam You: Yes

Number of Survey I Have Received Over The Past 9 Years Since Joining: 100

Overall Rating: 0.5 out of 5 – This survey company has had some major spamming issues. Even thou this company guarantees you between 1-3 US dollars per survey. You rarely if ever collect said promised money, that was stated in the survey invitation you received.

Extra Info: I have only received around 5 survey invitations since my last review way back in (Sept 2011). I would highly recommend avoiding this site because you will be wasting both your time and your effort.

What Does The Short Form “LCD” Stand For ?

LCD or Liquid Crystal Display – is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. LCs do not emit light directly.

They are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, television, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in most applications. They are available in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they do not use phosphors, they cannot suffer image burn-in.

EPD 72: Fan Mail Friday’s (12/16/2011)

Dear Danny,

Is there any chance you’ll get back on the “WTF” bandwagon and get us some new content ?

Sent In By “Content Creep”

Is there any chance you’ll get back on the WTF bandwagon and get us some new content ?

—————————-

Reply: Well as always it’s nice to hear from our readership. It’s also has been awhile since I had anyone approach me with that question. Well I can firmly tell you there is no plans to resurrect “WTF”. But Remy and myself are working on a weekly (maybe even monthly) editorial feature. So very much like what “WTF” was like. No bull S*ht and in your face with topics you guys want to see. Or content that just gets in our kra.

Even thou I said I would not be doing another “WTF”. There maybe a very special one time edition sometime soon to mark one of our major milestones. But I have not confirmed that as of yet.

So till then have a great week and I hope that answer your question…………….

Skype (5.6.0.110) – Freeware Review

AA. Cost: Free (But, there is a paid version as well)

1. Ease Of Use – Extremely easy to use once setup has been completed (AKA registration,  mic, headset, webcam setup has been set and adjusted.)

1A. Interface - Very simple, clean and straight forward

2. Quality Program – Skype has improved by leaps and bounds. Audio quality has improved, web cam filters have been added and screen share has been massively improved.

3. Speed of Sign-in – Very very quick. But again only after you haev completed Skype setup.

4. Can you run other programs while running Skype ? Yes

5. Can you leave Skype running and it will run with out issue ? Yes

6. Is there adware or spyware bundled with it ? Nope, but there are some ads now that pop-up. I don’t really have any big issues with it. But it can be bothersome to some user. Who are not use to thous types of ads.

7. Is Skype stable ? Yes, there is no question Skype is a very stable program. But it does depend a lot on the stability and quality of your Internet connection.

I give Skype an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 – I truly believe once you go Skype you don’t go back. Skype is truly better then almost any of its competition. It will kill MSN, ICQ , Yahoo and even programs such as team speak.

On A Side Note: In some cases there is still a need for programs such as team speak when you are dealing with MMO’s. But since I don’t  and I also don’t par-take in Facebook. I don’t feel I need anything other then Skype. (And in some very rare cases Windows Live Messenger. When my friends don’t have Skype.)

Q+A: Is There A Difference Between Vista & XP. When It Comes To AVG’s Detection Rate ?

RR 4.0

Q: Is there a difference between Vista & XP. When it comes to AVG’s  detection rate ?

A: There does appear to be some minor differences. Such as in cookie detection rate and when it comes to old XP virus builds. (Basically meaning if you have an XP era virus on a Vista system, AVG picks it up as something completely different. As compared to say an XP era virus on an Vista computer.)

Till The Next Q+A,
