Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

Hitman iTunes Download Free

Posted in Deals & Savings, Apple, bit torrent, bittorrent by Elliott Back 1 week, 3 days ago.

Don’t download the Hitman movie with Bittorrent when Apple will give it to you free on iTunes. Just hit “Browse” on the Quick Links on the right side of the main iTunes home page. Then, select “Movies” and “Thriller.” You’ll see the title “Hitman” for free, just 1.1GB away:

You might not want to watch it, Rottentomatoes gave it a 15%.

Crocs 25% Off Coupon

Posted in Deals & Savings by Elliott Back on November 2nd, 2007.

If you love wearing plastic shoes with tons of holes in them, you’ll love this 25% online coupon code for Crocs:

Click on this link to go to crocs.com.
25% off and Free Shipping.
Enter coupon code Anacomfort at checkout

I wonder if this discount is related to the 40% drop in their stock price:

Nothing like cheap shoes to sell more shoes! Wikipedia describes Crocs as “an American company founded by Lyndon Hanson, Scott Seamans, and George Boedecker in July 2002. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the firm was created to market a lightweight plastic shoe first developed and manufactured by Foam Creations Inc. of Quebec.”

ReviewMe Getting Desperate, 50% Off

Posted in Deals & Savings, Spam, Web 2.0 by Elliott Back on February 12th, 2007.

The much-hated successor of PayPerPost, ReviewMe is getting desperate, offering a 50% off coupon for any advertiser purchase:

We wanted to inform you about a special ReviewMe promotion we are running that may be of interest to your readers. We have found that advertisers who have used RM have been impressed and keep coming back for more reviews. So our biggest challenge is getting an advertiser to try it once. To encourage new advertisers we are offering a special coupon code that will give advertisers 50% off any review they purchase this month. The cool part is 100% of the sale price will go to the blogger so there is no discount in payout to you.

For advertisers to use the 50% off coupon they simply have to enter trial into the coupon code at checkout. This special promotion will be good for the rest of the month. Thanks again and we hope to have some reviews ready for you soon!

We’re not sure if Review ME should be considered spam or not, but the fact that it has to offer this kind of ridiculous promotion is perhaps an early indicator of a sinking ship. Something tells me that when they go, not many people will miss them.

Free Unlimited Long Distance International Calling

Posted in Computers & Technology, Deals & Savings, Hacking, Phone by Elliott Back on January 29th, 2007.

No joke. There’s a simple way to get free unlimited long distance calling minutes to almost any country in the world. You’ll just need a T-Mobile plan with MyFaves and a little information! See, MyFaves lets you make unlimited calls to any of five people in the United States at no cost, but it is limited to this country only. You can’t call someone internationally.

However, there’s a company in Iowa offering free unlimited long distance calling around the world (actually, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Christmas & Coco’s Island, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, UK and the USA). All Free Calls is a telephone arbitrage agent, taking advantage of complications in inter-state telephone fees to make a few cents per minute on the calls you place.

So, what do you do?

  • Add 712-858-8094 to your MyFaves numbers
  • Call and enter 011 + country code + international number
  • Enjoy your unlimited free call

It’s simple, easy, and consumer-friendly. There’s no telling if T-mobile will block this number in the future, though, as it represents a limitless expense for them.

Update: AllFreeCalls hopes to be up and running again next week, if they can work out a deal to get around the AT&T lawsuit.
