Mixx dot com has been around for about a year and a half and now has a strong community of users who enjoy using their service. Now because most of its income comes from ad networks like Google Adsense (mostly Adsense) they have a little problem monetizing it.

The solution to their problem is Mixx Sifter, the best monetizing idea I’ve seen in a while, which will revolutionize the way big players like Digg.com or Twitter, will monetize their communities.

Mixx Sifter is like a separate website where users can join to review, rate and comment paid ads. In exchange, advertisers get all the information, statistics and ratings so that they can improve their ads. Mixx also guarantees that your name is secured and you can rest assured that the advertiser wont hire a bounty hunter to capture and torture you .

The best part of reviewing ads for Mixx is that they also give rewards. Every week you earn 100 karma points, which gives you the chance to win a $25 iTunes certificate or a MacBook every month.

You can see much more information on their blog and join for Mixx Sifter, a small problem is that you must be an active member.

Mozilla announced today the release of a new Firefox 3.5 beta version. Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is now available for download in 70 different languages and has a few improvements/futures added, such as:

1. First of all but most important the support for HTML5, new CSS properties, a few new JavaScript query selectors and some great improvements to the Gecko layout engine, which renders content much faster. Let’s hope it will defeat Google’s browser, Chrome.

2. This new version also comes with a much secure browsing experience with the new Private Browsing Mode, which comes in handy when you don’t want your friends or family to mess up with your saved user and password information. Also they are not able to see what websites you’ve visited or what files you’ve shared or downloaded.

3. TraceMonkey JavaScript engine comes with improved performance. If you don’t know what it does, well TraceMonkey adds native code compilation to Mozilla’s JavaScript engine. You can find more information here.

You can test Firefox 3.5 beta 4 yourself, the only thing you have to do is download it from the release page.

Most internet users have problems when it comes to downloading via torrent clients like uTorrent, Vuze, Deluge. The most common problem is low download speeds, even thought all internet providers guarantee bandwidth speeds. On the other hand they limit your download speed for torrent clients and the only solution is to use the protocol encryption option.

This option comes with most of the torrent clients. For example uTorrent has this option since 2006, when the torrent client was at version 1.15, but most users didn’t know how to use this tweak.

Bellow you have a little list, actually top 3 torrent clients for Windows, which handle the protocol encryption option at its highest potential:
