Great news for Indians who are using PayPal.
Now you can add your Indian bank account to your PayPal account, so you can withdraw your money directly to your bank. It saves you time and gives you faster access to your PayPal funds! Plus, there is no charge to withdrawal amounts over Rs. 7000. For withdrawal amounts of less than INR 7000, there is a nominal fee of 50 rupees.
So, go ahead and add your bank account today!

PayPal Introduced New International Withdrawal Functionality using which you can withdraw your PayPal balances to your Debit/Credit Cards.
All you need to do is add a debit/credit card which can accept the funds. Both VISA and MASTERCARD are supported.
Paypal charges $5 for each withdrawal to Credit/Debit Card.
Read more information about it here :

My Experience:
I tried to register three credit cards out of which I succeeded with only one. I don’t know what is the acceptance criteria. It seems it is accepting Platinum/Gold cards only as far as India is concerned. I tried to register a Debit Card but couldn’t succeed in doing it.
Please share your experiences.

Microsoft has launched another low-cost PC effort in India. Beginning next month, Microsoft and its partners plan to start selling the IQ PC through computer retailers, bookshops and other stores in Bangalore and Pune, with plans to sell it throughout the country by November. The company expects the machines to start selling for 21,000 Indian rupees ($513), though it hopes to bring those prices down over time.
The computers are aimed at students from kindergarten to 12th grade. The PCs are set to include Microsoft’s Windows Vista Basic, Works and Student 2007, as well as third-party software, including exam preparation, homework help and English-language learning programs.

Did anyone try mGinger?
One more free money making kind of Ad-network. This time coming from india. It is claiming that it pays you to read ads on your cellphone!
It is also claiming that these ads are only about your interests.Not only that, you get to decide when you want these ads.
I haven’t tried this up yet. Just signed-up to see what is it doing. There is no doubt it is going to be a big hit at least because of students.
You can check here if interested: mGinger.com
