get paid (more) for your video

If you like the idea of video-sharing, cash-paying sites like Revver but want to earn even more for your efforts, check out Break.com. The site now pays $400 (up from $250) for original videos, $2,000 for original short films and flash animations, $25 for original photos, and $50 for “Girl of the Day” photos (it is, after all, a self-proclaimed “site for guys”).

What’s the catch? The video or photo you submit must get published on Break.com’s home page, and the site’s owners decide which items make the cut. Still, this is some decent cash we’re talking about, so get out that camera or camcorder and start shooting! Hmm, wonder what they’ll pay for a Lifehacker editor taking a pie to the face. Watch your back, Adam! — Rick Broida

Windows only: PortableApps Suite 1.0 stocks your USB drive, portable hard drive, or any other drive with a full complement of software, ready to run wherever you plug in.

This new version of the suite (which we’ve loved on in the past) includes the latest portable versions of Firefox, GAIM, OpenOffice, and other open-source gems. The suite also comes with PortableApps Backup for–you guessed it–making backups.

The Standard Edition of the suite requires about 260MB; there’s also a 105MB Lite version that substitutes AbiWord for OpenOffice. Whichever version of this app-tacular bundle you download, you’re going to love it. PortableApps Suite 1.0 is free; it requires Windows.

Download of the Day: Link Alert (Firefox)

from lifehacker

Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): The Link Alert Firefox extension displays customized mouse cursors in Firefox to let you know what a link is pointing you toward.

For example, when you hover over a link to a Word doc, your mouse cursor will display a Word icon next to it (see screenshot for more examples). If you’re always looking to your statusbar to find out what kind of file a link is pointing toward, or you just want to have a better idea of what you’re getting yourself into when you click a link (who hasn’t unknowingly clicked through to a PDF at least once?), this is a handy download. Link Alert is free, works wherever Firefox does.
