This year we are looking to upgrade our Mitsubishi 42 inch TV to either a plasma or LCD High definition TV. We have considered the  samsung 56 inch LCD which provides 1080 P technology which is the best pciture you can get on the market. Some of our friends have told us about the beenfits of plasma and the ability to get a better picture. One of the main things that you hear with plasma is that if their is a static image on the screen for a certain length of time that you might have that burned on your screen. Although this is a possibility I am not too concerned as the newer plasmas have information that is no longer a concern.

With LCD you get truer black according the specs and a higher resolution. Also, the LCD does better with high frame graphics and fast moving scenes such as those that you get with the newer gaming systems like the Xbox and the PS3. So we turned to a site online called krillion.com that has placed alot of that information as well as lists of local dealers that we could purchase from. This has helped to narrow down our search and not have to rely on the high school kids in the big box stores. So hopefully this Christmas we will be watching our favorite in true HDTV.

I just read this article today on a new scheme that is called Vishing. While most are familiar with the Phishing schemes. Where you receive an email from your bank or PayPal letting you know that your account has been compromised, and you need to log in and verify information. While the site you log into looks just like your bank or PayPal site, they are actually not, and then gather your information to use to open credit under your name, or wipe out your PayPal account. Now it appears that they are moving to VOIP customers as their next target. They find VOIP numbers, and then through the internet call customers, disguising their true caller ID, via software, and ask the person to call a specific number to verify their information. They pose as the bank or credit reporting agency, and then there is a series of voice teleprompts that lead the consumer through the verification process. Please be warned. If asked call the number on your bank statement or back of your credit card.

If you own a blog that has traffic and readers then you may want to consider teaming up with bloggerwave and their advertisers to increase your revenue and readership. This newer type of advertising is called consumer generated media where bloggers are paid to write about their opinion on a particular subject or product. Typically the companies allow the blogger to have their own opinion and views when writing about a subject. This has created a stir amongst some blogging elitist as they feel that people are invading their turf. Now advertisers especially those in Europe have a new source from which to advertise. Bloggerwave is just launching and searching for top quality bloggers and advertisers who are looking to maximize their exposure. Join today and get in on the new revolution of internet marketing.

In a proposed deal with Verizon wireless the ability to bring new fresh content to users cell phone is getting some attention. The fight to gain new customer in the cell phone market is fierce. Just this past weekend I saw an ad for a free Motorola Razr Phone, plus $200 back to be used in store for your purchases. With this new deal, subscribers of Verizons V Cast service will be able to view YouTube videos that have been selected by Verizon.

This helps Verizon in the lure of content for it’s customers and increases the customer base for YouTube. This agreement will allow Verizon to be the only mobile phone company to carry distribute YouTube videos for a limited time. While I have not seen the videos on a phone, I can imagine there may need to be some work done as the videos are generally not high in quality. Taking into account that you will now be viewing those on a small 2 inch screen, will be interesting to watch. I guess you don’t need high quality when you are watching a shrimp run on a treadmill.

I believe that with this new partnership, others will blossom. The one company that will allow their customers to use their phones video capacity, and be able to upload videos to YouTube or other video sharing services will be a huge winner. I am sure the technology exists, it is just matter of having the right phone, and the right provider.

I used to work in the copier industry a few years back and I remember them saying that with the boom in PC sales and email most offices would be paperless by the mid 2000. How wrong they were? What happened is that there were actually more copies and prints produced because people did not want to read their emails on their screen, the instead printed them out on the laser printers or inkjet printers. This increased the cost to produce a page since a typical cost to print via ink jet is about 5 cents.

This gave rise to all the various outfits selling toner and ink because this is where the profit was.Many companies today sell inkjet cartidges and toner cartridges online and offer a wide range of products. At carrotink.com they have made it very simple and easy to shop online and offer free shipping in the US. You can find HP inkjet cartridges, Epson, and other name brand ink jet printers.

How Not To Get Web Design Work
by: T. O’ Donnell
I get the occasional web design lead from my website. I wanted to find a company I could pass these onto. So I put an ad on a freelance site. It specified the programming qualifications needed, stated that the successful candidate should have good English, and was for companies only.

The replies I got were enlightening. So much so, I made a list of things applicants did wrong. Here it is.

I should point out I was initially prepared to give everyone a fair go. After the first twenty-odd emails, my attitude changed. I was looking for reasons to delete applicants. I only needed one successful one; with 100 replies it was getting to be a headache, so I decided a brutal approach was needed.

1. Failed to read the spec.

Many applicants couldn’t write properly in the English language. Many were individuals only. Result: instant deletion.

2. Failed to address the spec’s criteria.

Applicants bragged about how great they were. Many copy-and-pasted standard marketing guff about ’solutions’ and ‘partnerships’ into their emails.

To engage anyone’s interest about a proposal you need to talk less about yourself and more about the benefits to *them* of using you. One of the first things I learnt about applying for jobs is you need to show how you meet the criteria in the job description; see if you can find the employer’s wavelength.

3. Lots of jargon.

You quickly tune this out. Anyone dealing with web companies probably gets a lot of this. Applicants should talk to the client about *the client’s* site and *their* needs, and avoid techno-babble.

Write an application letter. Leave it for a while, then edit it. Brutally. Short punchy sentences, no guff. Talking convincingly about how you can make the client money would be an attention-getter.

4a. ‘Coming soon’ client-listing pages.

You say you’ve done work for lots of clients, then put up a ‘coming soon’ sign on the web page where your client list is supposed to be. Hmmmm.

4b. ‘Under construction’ pages on your company web site.

This looks bad; something you’d see on an amateur’s site. Another reason to bin your application.

4c. Only put up pictures of sites you’ve done, rather than links to the actual sites.

I’d have liked to see some working example sites. Pictures can be faked, and they don’t show background programming.

4e. No mention of your main web site URL.

Let us guess where your own site is (if you have one). It’s more fun! I tried guessing from the email address. After a while I didn’t bother.

4f. No hyperlinks at all.

Just a short email spiel saying “I am great designer, hire me”. Next!

5. Using Yahoo.com or Hotmail.com for your email address.

A pro designer shouldn’t use a freebie email address service. Basic web hosting costs $5 a month these days.

I can conceive that a web designer might use a freebie account for some special purpose, but your own domain name is a basic advert that goes out in each email you send.

6. Bad spelling and grammar.

Western civilisation is doomed, if using SMS jargon becomes the standard way to write to people. It doesn’t impress old frts lik me, fr strtrs Especially if you’re looking for work where good spelling and grammar are important.

7. Front-loading Flash designs.

I admit it, I don’t like Flash. I especially don’t like it when it loads slowly on my broadband connection. I suppose it might impress an ignorant client, who doesn’t know the economic consequences of having a Flash-heavy site.

8. Don’t phone the employer up.

Unless they say ‘canvassing will disqualify’, ‘phoning the employer is a good idea. Why? Because geeks are famously introverted and tongue-tied, supposedly. So if a web site designer can communicate clearly over the telephone, that, coupled with a good application, puts you streets ahead of the email-only applicant.

No need to jabber. A polite enquiry to establish contact will do. “Just checking you’ve got my CV”, that sort of thing.

9. Keep yourself mysterious.

Emails are impersonal. Anything that can establish you as a human being, a person, a potential ally and friend, is good. It’ll make you more memorable. No need to jump out of a giant cake, ‘though!

However, you have to fulfil all the other criteria as well. However great a guy you are, if you’re a Unix man and they want Windows, forget it.

10. Leaving unclear phone messages.

One chap left a phone message, in which he mentioned his site, twice, but not his ‘phone number. His pronunciation was bad, so I guess I’ll never know how good he was.

11. Too far away.

Most replies were from India, Ukraine, Romania etc. Anyone who was closer to home (the UK) stood out. I mention it simply as a winnowing criterion.

Also, I needed someone who could land contracts from UK residents; good English, written and oral, was important.

12. Give your rates per hour.

Forget that. You’re not a lawyer. Web design jobs can be clearly defined, in terms of time, work and software required. A definite price can be agreed on in advance. It’s called a contract. Otherwise, you leave the client open to escalating bills, and yourself to mission-creep.

13. Delay applying.

The first few applications were more scrutinised. After that, fatigue set in. After one hundred, only an applicant who seems a real prospect would be given more than five seconds’ scrutiny.

As the country gears up for the holiday season charge card companies look for another great shopping season. With big ticket items seeming to lead the way such as HDTV, and new computers consumers will definitely be spending more. Some suggestions from experts on how not to over extend and then suffer the after Christmas blues when the credit card statement comes are:

Leave the cards at home and only pay with cash. Take cash out of the bank for what you have budgeted to spend and you are less likely to spend more when you are having to physically hand over $20 bills. If you have to use plastic, then only use one card, and not try and spread the dollars around. Some consumers will think that by only putting smaller amounts on several different cards will be less painful in January. It is still the overall total that will be due after all the wrapping is thrown away.

Know the grace periods for pay off on your cards if you use them during Christmas and be aware of any special promotions offering 0% balance transfer rates. Some of these will come with great rates for balance transfers, but will have a much higher APR for purchases. And you will be required to pay off the lowest APR balance first before any dollars will go towards your higher APR cards.

If for some reason you find your self in need of extra for some unforeseen reason then certain payday loans may be an option. National Payday provides payday loans and cash advances both quickly and securely at competitive rates. You must make sure that you understand their terms and that you are able to pay them off quickly.

In the global economy it is important to understand other cultures but also be able to speak the language. Many companies will provide overseas work for their employees and only give them little training in the culture and language. Business deals can be won or lost if you do not have the proper business etiquette and know your customer. More and more companies are recruiting those that have know several languages to work in their call centers and marketing departments. They provide a great resource when trying to expand into different markets. For those that already reside in the UK Language Trainers can help you learn japanese in Birmingham.
