I received this email from Google AdSense telling me that my AdSense Western Union payment has been issued (read: Get your money, blogger!).

The message included the MTCN number which is required to withdraw AdSense money from Western Union and a link to more information on how to pick up your payment.

In the footer, it tells you that the email notice is “mandatory”. Meaning, you cannot opt out (why should you, anyway?).

It was my first time to receive such an email from Google AdSense. I am not alone.

Previously, there was no notice at all. I have to mark “$$$” at the last day of every month in calendar to remind myself to withdraw my AdSense payment. I really appreciate the Adsense payment notice.

Have your received Google AdSense payment issued notice too?

I bet many webmasters are not aware that it has been a month and a week passed in 2010. Many sites are still sticking to copyright year 2009 or earlier in the footer.

Twitter and MySpace have updated their copyright year after Feb 1st, 2010. Google Blogs Network, haven’t.

Here is another list of top Malaysia sites which haven’t update their copyright year in footer:

1. Berita Harian Online — news site. 2009.
2. The Malaysia Insider — news site. 2009.
3. Kosmo! Online — news site. 2008!
4. Lowyat.NET — tech news & community. 2009.
5. CIMBClicks — online banking. 2009.
6. Maybank2u — online banking. 2008!
7. Maxis — mobile phone services provider. 2009.
8. Celcom — mobile phone services provider. 2009.
9. Lelong — auction & online shopping. 2008!

If you happen to know their webmaster, ask them to update their website’s footer. Also, kindly remind any webmaster you know to check their footer too!

Apple iPad 3G will use Mini SIM card. What the heck is it? Isn’t our normal SIM card small enough?

According to WikiPedia, micro-SIM which also know as 3FF or “third form factor” SIM is an updated and miniaturized alternative to a SIM card.

Micro SIM is even smaller than the SIM card (Mini SIM) we have in our phones now. Micro-SIM is as small as the chip itself (15 mm x 12 mm x 0.76 mm) as you can see from the comparison picture below:

What’s new about Micro SIM?

Beside backwards compatibility, Micro SIM allows multiple simultaneous applications accessing, introduce mutual authentication as a way to eliminate carrier spoofing, new PIN protection, and expand phonebook storage of the SIM card with entries for email, 2nd name, and groups.

Which phone uses Micro SIM?

As far as I know, no phone in the current market is using micro-SIM. Micro-SIM received a major boosts after announcement of Apple iPad.

What does it mean to your Apple iPad 3G?

If your local telco does not provide micro SIM then you cannot the 3G connectivity of your iPad 3G..

Pray, beg your telco to support micro SIM now.
