Dreams Coming True

Category:

Bluetooth headsets have come a long way. They are much smaller and more stylish now; they even look pretty cool, if you can pull it off. There is actually a competition between all the big manufacturers who can make a smaller headset. Jabra is doing pretty amazing things and so it Motorola. There is however, one company out there not paying attention to the size, or the quantity, but rather to the quality. In fact, there original headset was so big; it made peoples’ faces look small. I am referring to Aliph and their Jawbone headset. The size was irrelevant though when you were able to talk in a construction site and the person you were talking to you could hear you perfectly. If only, Aliph cared a little bit more about the size and looks of the headset, I would be the first to buy. Well they seemed to have heard my call, they just announced their second generation headset and can you guess how it differs? Yes, it is half the size.

Too Much Spam

Category:

Sometimes, enough is enough. That is exactly the way MySpace felt about all the spam that was taking over their site. They were bombarded by junk mail that someone known as the Spam king was responsible for. This individual has spammed thousands of sites since the nineties.

Now he has gotten himself into real trouble. MySapce has sued him and his partner, and now they owe two hundred and thirty million dollars to MySpace. This time it was just too much spam.

Incorporating Social Networking

Category:

One of the main ways to define the newer sites of this decade, and perhaps even Web 2.0 is through social networking. This is because sites that offer social networking features have opened so many doors. It is not only a matter of pleasure, and staying in touch with friends, but a matter of business as well. This is because business can be done much more easily when there is a way to be in direct contact with customers and clients. When there is a specific network for a targeted public, it is much simpler to reach them.

Google has realized this and that is why they have come up with Friend Connect, which is a program that will soon be able to be added to any site and transform it into a social networking site by adding a feature that allows the site’s users to chat with each other. Applications will also be able to be added to the sites. This new program is being tried out on a number of different sites and will be available for all sites once there has been enough positive feedback from the trial sites.

Business and Pleasure

Category:

As a single businessman, most of my travels are on business. But just because a trip is planned and paid for as a business expense doesn't mean you can't enjoy it too. To be honest, most of the big conferences and trade shows are actually planned in such a way that makes it ideal to combine business with pleasure. Some of my most enjoyable conferences have been SES in San Jose and eBay Live in Orlando. With such destinations it is almost impossible not to have fun. I remember the Sunday after eBay Live when I had some free time to spend in Orlando as one of the best vacations I had. What's great is that not only are most the expenses tax deductable, by booking online I was able to get quite a cheap flight to Orlando leaving enough spare cash for spending and pleasure.

New power supplies released by Antec

Category: Main

More and more computer peripherals and hardware are becoming more power hungry because of the race towards getting the fastest available products in the market. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have believed that a graphics card will need its own dedicated connection to the PSU. But now, high end cards practically demand their own channel to uninterrupted power. This is making PSU manufacturers take notice and have been coming out with increasingly powerful PSUs to satisfy the demands of both computer users and the hardware itself.

Antec, probably one of the more well known PSU brands, recently released 850 watt and 1000 watt PSUs. From the humongous capacities of these power supplies, the most tricked out hardware will never have power problems. But at 249 and 299 dollars, respectively, this is also definitely going to put a serious dent on your pockets.

It's Your Identity - Keep it Safe!

Category:

Personally, I try to keep tabs on my credit report. Not because I have any credit problems or am trying to improve my credit score. I simply try to stay on top of my credit file because I want to make sure that anything that is reported there is accurate and was performed by me. I have heard enough stories about people who suddenly discovered they were victims of identity fraud and learned they have mortgages and loans issued on their names that they never applied for. But keeping track of one's credit report can be time consuming and tedious. That's why I like the lifelock solution. They monitor every change in your credit file for you and make sure you are aware of any transaction that takes place so you can make sure no one is using your identity for their own benefit.

Music Vrs. Video Games

Category: Main

There is no denying the fact that the video game industry is an entertainment juggernaut. The media has harped over the years about how video games have overtaken movies in terms of yearly revenue. Now it looks like the music industry will have to give way to the new entertainment king because of predictions that video game sales may surpass music sales this year. This was the prediction made by analysts from PriceWaterhouseCoopers in its report entitled Global Entertainment and Media Outlook. What is most interesting about the report is that even with gaming hardware sales not included, gaming industry will still outperform the music industry. This is going to put those old fogies at the big music companies in a tizzy.

Ideas for Mother’s Day

Category:

It only comes around once a year, but for some reason many people, myself included, have a difficult time finding the appropriate gift to give my mother on Mother’s Day. I think it’s bad enough that her birthday and Mother’s Day are pretty much the only days when I actually go and get her something, but even then finding the right gift seems impossible. That is why I have learned that especially on Mother’s Day a beautiful flower arrangement always does the job. You can find plenty of mothers day gifts at 1800flowers.com. If that isn’t enough, they also have a great selection of plants and gifts that will bring a smile to your mother’s face.
