If you do one or the other you can make more money from the program.<br />Make More AdSense Money By Boosting the Number Of Click<br /><br />Increase the number of clicks on your ads is the most obvious strategy that will make more money for you. There are two ways you can boost the number of click:<br /><br />1. Getting more traffic for your web site,<br />2. Make your ads more clickable and position them at the right place.<br /><br />Getting traffic takes time and efforts. It‘s also a lot of hard work. There are several techniques that you can use to generate more traffic to your web site and hence make more AdSense money. These techniques are:<br /><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('UNIQUE%20NAME')"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;" class="commenthidden" id="UNIQUE NAME">* Submit your web site to search engine and optimize your web site for search engine.<br /><p> * Increase link popularity by link exchange, article marketing, directory submission and press release.<br />* Paid Advertising through classified advertising, banner advertising or search engine advertising.<br />* Participate in forums/groups related to the content of your web site.<br />* Add comments to other blogs.<br /><br />Making your ads more clickable is another way to increase your earnings. It is relatively easy to do because you can adjust your ad format almost immediately. You can do the following adjustments to your ad format to improve your click through rate (CTR):<br /><br />* Make them more noticeable by positioning your AdSense ads on top of your AdSense page.<br />* Google states that the most effective ad formats are 336×280 larger rectangle, the 300×250 inline rectangle, and the 160×600 wide skyscraper. However you should choose the best ad format that works for your web site. This requires tracking and testing.<br />* Create a custom palette that best suites your web site. In general, you can follow the following settings:<br /> o Border color : no border or background color of your website<br /> o Background color : background color of your website<br /> o Link color : color of your links<br /> o URL color : black<br /> o Text color : black or color of your main content<br /><br />Make More AdSense Money by Targeting the Higher-Paying Keywords<br /><br />You can create unique, relevant and quality contents that target at the higher-paying keywords to increase your average price per click (CPC). Higher CPC means that you can make more money even the CTR remains unchanged. You should find out which keyword variations for a topic pay more. Often the more specialized variations and phrases pay more than the generic terms.<br /><br />You can increase your CPC by reducing the occurrence of lower-paying ads. You can use AdSense competitive filter mechanism to filter out the ads that you don’t want to be shown on your web site. It is suggested by others that showing fewer ads on a page will result in higher-paying ads displayed on your web site. A lot of publishers report that they make more Adsense money if they remove ads completely from pages with few or no clicks. Again you have to test whether this strategy works in favor of you or not.<br /><br />As you can see, it involves a lot of hard work if you want to make extra Google AdSense money. You need to put in your time and effort to make it happen.<br /></p></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-2057333869467164272009-01-09T03:38:00.000-08:002009-01-15T05:31:04.206-08:00If you are one step will regret later<div style="text-align: justify;" id="result_box" dir="ltr">Along with the development of time, various methods and ways in fikirkan hold both the smallest things and that is very complex, so it serumit be any easier.

The price-to-rent ratio links the cost of ownership with the cost of rental. This link is direct because possession of property can be obtained by either method. The cost of ownership encapsulates all of the financing terms and other variables associated with possession of real estate as does the cost of rental. Price-to-rent ratio fluctuates over time as changes in the cost of ownership and terms of financing makes financing amounts vary and house prices vary as well.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('UNIQUE%20NAME')">Click here for readmore.......</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;" class="commenthidden" id="UNIQUE NAME">One of the major components of any projection using price-to-rent ratios is the projection of future rents. On a national level rents have been rising at a 3.6% rate from 1988 to 2007. This is 0.6% greater than the rate of inflation and 0.3% greater than the rate of wage growth. In Orange County, California, rents have been rising at the rate of 4.7% from 1983 to 2007. This is 1.7% greater than the rate of inflation and 1.3% greater than the rate of wage growth.<br /><p> Any difference between the rate of rental growth and the rate of wage growth cannot be sustained forever; however, the differential on the national level is small, and it can be attributed to changing customer behavior as people demonstrate an increased willingness to spend more on housing related costs. The rate of rent growth over wage growth in Orange County is a bit more troubling. Orange County is second only to Honolulu, Hawaii as the most expensive place to rent in the United States and the continued growth of rents in excess of wages is not sustainable.<br /><br />The unprecedented spike in the national price-to-rent ratio is clear evidence of a massive, national real estate bubble. As the ratio demonstrates, there was no increase in rents justifying market pricing. The only other explanation which would deny a market bubble would be a dramatic lowering of ownership costs through other means. Although lower interest rates did lower ownership costs somewhat, the resulting savings due to lower interest rates only explains about one-third to one-half of the increase in prices. The remainder is caused by the use of exotic financing and irrational exuberance.<br /><br />Predictions based on the price-to-rent ratio are arguably the most robust because the ratio has been stable over long periods of time, and for good reason; the comparative cost of ownership to rental is a logical basis for valuation. If house prices return to their historic average of the 1988 to 2004 period of 181, then national prices will fall 27% peak-to-trough, bottom in 2011 and return to the peak in 2020.<br /><br />The ratio of price-to-rent in Orange County, California, where the city of Irvine is located, has shown more variability than national figures. There was a coastal bubble taking off in the late 80s and collapsing in the early 1990s. The premise of prices reverting to fundamental valuations can be clearly seen in the changes in the price-to-rent ratio in Orange County. In the mid 1980s, the market was bottoming out from the first coastal residential real estate bubble associated with the inflationary times of the late 1970s. From 1983 to 1987, the price to rent ratio stabilized between 176 and 185, a range of about 6%. After the coastal bubble, prices stabilized in 1994 to 1996 in a range from 175 to 178.<br /><br />Projections using the price-to-rent ratio assume prices will fall again to the range from 175 to 185 before stabilizing. The reason prices stabilize in this range is because it is here that the cost of ownership approximates the cost of rental, and Rent Savers buy real estate and form a support bottom. If house prices in Orange County return to their historic price-to-rent stability range, prices will fall 22% peak-to-trough, bottom in 2013, and return to the previous peak by 2019; however, if rental increases do not sustain their 4.7% historic rate, the bottom may be somewhat lower, and the return to the previous peak would be delayed.<br /><br />Using the price-to-rent ratio is one of the most accurate predictors of the market bottom. The stability of the price-to-rent ratio is remarkable considering the variability in economic terms. The only times this ratio deviates from its tight range is when irrational exuberance takes over a market during a financial mania like the great housing bubble. by-Lawrence Robert.<br /></p></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-38596588547125880462008-12-30T16:01:00.000-08:002008-12-22T00:32:20.000-08:004 “Must Know” Tips for Pricing Your Services<div style="text-align: justify;"> One of the worst moments in a business owner's life is that silent moment between when you quote your rate to a potential client and his response. True, that hardly a second goes by, but it can feel like an eternity.<br /><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('DORA')">Click here for readmore.......</a><div class="commenthidden" id="DORA">“Will he hire me?”<br /><p><br />“Did I go too high?”<br /><br />And when he says “YOU'RE HIRED!”, a new set of doubts creep over you:<br /><br />“Should I have gone higher?”<br /><br />“Did I lowball the price just to get a client?”<br /><br />You know the feeling. You've got the job, the project, the new client and it almost always turns out to be more work than you thought when you signed up for the task. Be sure that you know your worth and communicate it to the client up front.<br /><br />1. Know your worth.<br /><br />If you charge your clients hourly, how do you know what to charge them? Did you pick a number out of the air? What was your rationale?<br /><br />For those who choose to bill hourly, I recommend the following approach to determining what you charge:<br /><br />(a) Determine what you want your salary to be. How much will you take out of the company?<br /><br />(b) Add to that any subcontractor expense that you may have. This is your “labor total”.<br /><br />(c) List out and then add all your expenses: advertising, promotion, rent, self-employment tax, supplies, etc. This is your “non-labor expense total”.<br /><br />(d) Add your labor total to your non-labor expense total.<br /><br />(e) Add in any profit goal you may have for your business.<br /><br />(f) Bullets (d) plus (e) equal your Total Required Revenue.<br /><br />(g) Divide your “Total Required Revenue” by the number of BILLABLE hours for the year. Remember that you will not be billing 40 hours/week. The result will be the amount you need to charge per hour to make your salary goal.<br /><br />If you bill hourly, take the time to complete the above exercise and, if necessary, increase your rates accordingly.</p><p>2. No haggling.<br /><br />It can be hard when you have few clients or need more money, but whatever you do, do not haggle with your clients/prospective clients over your pricing.<br /><br />You can haggle at a flea market. You can haggle for the price of a house. You can negotiate (a.k.a. “haggle”) for a corporate job salary. As a self-employed individual, you must not haggle over your pricing. To do so immediately lowers your perceived worth with that person and will set you up for a relationship of nitpicking over every nickel and dime.<br /><br />3. Provide a “solution” and not a “service.”<br /><br />Insure your clients understand the benefits they will receive from hiring you. You are not providing them a service; you are providing them a solution.<br /><br />The difference being that people value solutions more than they do services. Whenever discussing price with a potential client, focus on the benefits, the “solutions” that she will receive as a result of hiring you.<br /><br />Will she have more free time? Will her business see an increase in profits or clients? Know the benefits and speak to them!<br /><br />4. Be prepared to say “Goodbye”.<br /><br />Not everyone is going to accept your terms. Deal with it. They weren't meant to be your clients anyway and would have just taken up the time that you could use for a better qualified client. Save your time and energy for those who recognize your worth - you'll both be happier and more productive.<br /><br />Pricing your services is one of the most emotional things you'll do as a business owner. Be sure to take the time to review the project at hand before just blurting out a price - doing so will save you a lot of time and frustration down the road.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> </p></div></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-47237036848994469352008-12-28T06:20:00.000-08:002008-12-22T00:30:02.516-08:00For other uses, see The Business (disambiguation).<div style="text-align: justify;">A business (also called a firm or an enterprise) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers.<br /><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('OTHER')">Click here for readmore.......</a><br /><div class="commenthidden" id="OTHER"><p>A business needs a market. A consumer is an essential part of a business. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, most being privately owned and formed to earn profit to increase the wealth of owners. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative businesses and state-owned enterprises. Socialistic systems involve either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses.<br /><br />The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate.<br /><br />Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals to maintain collective productivity in order to accomplish particular creative and productive goals (usually to generate profit), is taught as an academic subject in many schools.<br /></p></div></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-40241174491024709812008-12-25T00:09:00.000-08:002008-12-25T00:09:00.571-08:00Toyota slashes profit forecast amid global slumpToyota slashed its profit forecast Monday for the fiscal year to barely breaking even at 50 billion yen ($555 million) as Japan's top automaker gets hammered by plunging global demand and a surging yen.<br /><br /><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('UNIQUE%20NAME')">Click here for readmore.......</a><div class="commenthidden" id="UNIQUE NAME">That's a tiny fraction of its 1.7 trillion yen net profit from the previous fiscal year through March 2008.<br /><p> "The change that has hit the world economy is of a critical scale that comes once in a hundred years," President Katsuaki Watanabe said at the company's Nagoya office. The drop in vehicle sales over the last month was "far faster, wider and deeper than expected."<br /><br /> Sinking sales in the U.S. in the wake of the financial crisis have dealt a heavy blow to Japanese automakers. But Watanabe said that emerging markets, which had held up in the beginning, were also slowing down now.<br /><br /> The surging yen, which erodes overseas earnings, has battered profits. The dollar has fallen to 13-year lows of about 90 yen recently.<br /><br /> Toyota Motor Corp. - which makes the popular Camry sedan and Prius gas-electric hybrid - now expects to sell 8.96 million vehicles around the world this calendar year, down 4 percent from the it sold last year, Watanabe told reporters.<br /><br /> Unlike previous years, he gave no goal for 2009.<br /><br /> In July, Toyota lowered its global vehicle sales target for 2008 to 9.5 million from the initial 9.85 million. Last year, it sold 9.37 million vehicles around the world.<br /><br /> Toyota also lowered its sales forecast for the fiscal year through March to 21.5 trillion yen ($239 billion), down about 18 percent from its earlier projection at 23 trillion yen ($256 billion).<br /><br /> Grabbing attention in recent years has been whether Toyota would dethrone Detroit-based General Motors Corp. as the world's No. 1 in annual vehicles sales.<br /><br /> But the mood was pure gloom at the president's annual year-end event.<br /><br /> Under a previous revision, Toyota had been forecasting a 550 billion yen ($6.1 billion) profit for the fiscal year through March, less than a third of what it racked up the previous fiscal year and drastically lower than its initial projection of 1.25 trillion yen ($13.9 billion) profit.<br /><br /> Toyota's U.S. vehicles sales plunged by a third on year in November, when overall sales fell to their lowest level in more than 26 years. And there is little hope for a quick recovery as consumers hold back big purchases amid a serious downturn.<br /></p></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-62382191046250037272008-12-22T00:06:00.000-08:002008-12-22T00:22:10.250-08:00Businesses seek extension to tax deadline policyThe Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has requested the government to postpone a deadline to improve tax filing and undertake tax registration until March next year as businessmen are busier than ever coping with the impact of the global economic slowdown.<br /><br /><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('UAME')">Click here for readmore.......</a><div class="commenthidden" id="UAME">Kadin chairman Mohamad Suleman Hidayat said Sunday businesses were expecting the deadline to be extended because the global economic downturn had unexpectedly pushed most businessmen to focus on drawing up counter-measures.<br /><p>"We have asked the government to delay the deadline for the sunset policy for another three months because of the (economic) crisis," Hidayat told reporters on the sidelines of a Kadin national meeting.<br /><br />"All businesses are currently thinking of how to handle their own companies (amidst the crisis)."<br /><br />As a result of a new tax law on general procedure late last year, the government has issued rules requiring all taxpayers to honestly report their taxes and comply with the existing regulations.<br /><br />Under the new policy, often referred to as a "sunset policy", the government has also given potential taxpayers time to get a tax registration number and start to comply with the regulations.<br /><br />The government has given one year in which it has waived administrative penalties for previous non-compliance in exchange for accurate tax reporting and registration before starting to impose stiffer sanctions on violators next year.<br /><br />Taxpayers money is the largest single source of income to the state budget, accounting for about 70 percent of state budget revenue.<br /><br />According to the directorate general of taxation, Indonesia only has about 6 million taxpayers in a population of 230 million people.<br /><br />Hidayat argued it was difficult to comply with the sunset policy as it involved lengthy procedures to complete all the filings, including balance sheets.<br /><br />He suggested the government should issue a regulation-in-lieu-of-law to allow a postponement of the sunset policy.<br /><br />In response to Kadin's request, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said the government would study how to make that possible.<br /><br />"Well basically it's impossible for us to extend the registration period as it's already been stipulated in the law," she said.<br /><br />"What is possible is an administrative loophole that may allow such treatment, and I'll try to look into that," she added.<br /><br />Mulyani said the sunset policy had been a success as there were around 200,000 requests for tax file number recorded every day at the moment, as the present deadline expired at the end of the year.<br /><br />The directorate general of taxation has planned stiff measures for those having no tax registration once the sunset period is over, including a new plan to raise overseas travel tax by more than double for those without tax registration numbers.<br /></p></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-62963556747845575592008-12-19T01:11:00.000-08:002008-12-19T01:16:18.419-08:00A Radical Business Plan for FacebookCharge people.<span class="byline">By Farhad Manjoo</span><span class="dateline"></span><p><span class="imagewrapper" style="width: 252px;"><a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2203467/"><img src="http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/2126996/2180740/2201430/081030_Tech_FacebookTN.jpg" alt="Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Silicon Valley insiders have long wondered how deeply an economic downturn might hurt tech firms; after all, companies here in the Bay Area weathered the worst of the last recession, and since then, they've all adopted leaner, less profligate business practices. (E.g., there are no more <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6877753/" target="_blank">Super Bowl ads featuring sock puppets</a>.) But hard times are here again. Venture capital firms are telling their clients to batten down the hatches because <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2008/10/10/the-sequoia-rip-good-times-presentation-get-your-copy-here/" target="_blank">free money is gone</a>. Share prices for the biggest tech companies have <a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=1&chdet=1225371354015&chddm=98923&cmpto=NASDAQ:MSFT;NASDAQ:AAPL;NASDAQ:GOOG;NASDAQ:YHOO&cmptzos=-18000;-18000;-18000;-18000&q=NASDAQ:INTC&ntsp=0" target="_blank">plummeted</a> over the past year. Per TechCrunch, dozens of companies have announced plans to let go of more than 24,000 workers, and no one doubts more cuts are coming soon. Even Google's fabled <a href="http://valleywag.com/5070227/google-new-york-hit-by-cost-cuts" target="_blank">free-food privileges</a> are being <a href="http://valleywag.com/5054328/googlers-free+food-privileges-slashed" target="_blank">cut back</a>. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The worst-hit companies are the smallest—the startups that are the star players in the Valley's recurring tragedy of flameout and rebirth. With the market down and the financial sector in distress, startups that launched with only the haziest plans for making money now have nowhere to go. Young entrepreneurs flock to Silicon Valley to win billion-dollar IPOs or to <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2197434/">sell out to Google</a> or Microsoft for huge sums, but neither option is feasible anymore. Now startups have to think of other ways to make money. The bad news is that the Web economy is dominated by advertising dollars, and advertising often suffers during a recession. So what to do? In the absence of ads, an IPO market, venture capital funding, and guaranteed acquisition, how can startups make any money?</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="ris_links_wrapper"><div class="ris_text_container">Daniel Gross asked if the <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2150498/">social-networking boom is a repeat of the 1990s dot-com bubble</a>. Reihan Salam laid out <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2174439/">the Facebook commandments</a>: how to deal with unwanted friend requests, the ethics of de-friending, and other etiquette predicaments. Christopher Beam explained how <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2168872/">Facebook could crush MySpace, Yahoo, and Google</a>. Emily Yoffe described her meteoric rise from a <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2161920/">social-networking newbie to a Facebook superstar</a>.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Allow me to propose something crazy. Tech companies should start charging people to use their services. No, seriously. Let's take the biggest example of a Web site that has no clear path to profitability: Facebook. The social network attracts more than <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10025811-36.html?tag=mncol;txt" target="_blank">100 million "active users"</a> around the world, but as of now—as even its founder Mark Zuckerberg admits—it's still <a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/10/zuckerberg-facebook-will-have-a-business-plan-in-three-years" target="_blank">looking for a "business model"</a> (that is, a way to make tons more money than it spends). </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">But let me say that again: <em>100 million people</em> use Facebook regularly. Judging from some of the folks in my social network, a sizable minority of Facebook users have hundreds of "friends" and check in to the site multiple times a day—call them superactive users. Let's imagine that Facebook became a tiered service. A free plan would limit you to 200 friends, one status update per day, or some other non-Draconian combination of restrictions. But for $5 a month, the limits would be lifted. Certainly, many users would balk; tens of thousands would join Facebook groups to protest the new pay model. Let's assume that 95 percent of users will refuse to pay a dime. That still leaves 5 percent, or 5 million people, to pay $60 a year. That's $300 million in the bank.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> I confess that I didn't come up with the idea for this radical business model on my own. I stole it from David Heinemeier Hansson, a developer at the innovative Web software company <a href="http://37signals.com/" target="_blank">37signals</a>, a firm that has long proselytized the advantages of asking people to pay for stuff. The firm makes a tidy sum by charging small businesses—companies in what it calls the Fortune 5 Million—$50 or $100 a month to use its suite of excellent project-management and collaboration apps. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">"We've found out that having a price is really cool for making profits," Hansson pointed out last spring in an entertaining presentation called "<a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/981-the-secret-to-making-money-online" target="_blank">The Secret to Making Money Online</a>." "You have customers, they pay you money for the product or service, and you get profits! It's almost too simple to work." Of course, 37signals didn't come up with this idea on its own, either: "I've heard that over time—hundreds of years actually—this has been how most businesses have made their money. But somehow that notion got lost in the Web world."</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> <a name="p2"></a> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>But wait a minute</em>, you might be thinking. That can't really work—perhaps Facebook can make a few hundred million dollars a year by charging people to use its site, but Facebook's investors have valued the company at $15 billion. Facebook harbors Google-like aspirations of changing every facet of society—by mapping our social relationships, it aims to alter how we make friends, how we do business, how we understand the world around us. That sounds like a very grand plan, a plan that deserves to make billions—not just a few hundred million.</p> </div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-11394951501263274232008-12-18T05:55:00.000-08:002008-12-19T01:28:18.346-08:00Fedora 10 Released With New Feature<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCErj4oEavZrLcpgkeI8Z1chg_g5ZG1VhiIUL1jdIiTnenURL-uS8HC3I7eRj8hrUS4dBOJeX_XAYWpjG1oKDelSNTg7sy8nRU8d2JJ1nP4ivN9iZSuBbvWQeoJYAZx3pKl_RTOXBipME4/s1600-h/linux-fedora.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCErj4oEavZrLcpgkeI8Z1chg_g5ZG1VhiIUL1jdIiTnenURL-uS8HC3I7eRj8hrUS4dBOJeX_XAYWpjG1oKDelSNTg7sy8nRU8d2JJ1nP4ivN9iZSuBbvWQeoJYAZx3pKl_RTOXBipME4/s320/linux-fedora.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274795867617089458" border="0" /></a>Fedora community developers have announced officially from the Fedora 10, a new version of the open source Linux distributions that popular.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Launching this is a step forward from Fedora and is the introduction of new technology that brings the power and usability to the desktop user experience.

BlackBerry Storm can not use a wireless hotspot for Internet access, such as the iPhone a BlackBerry or other. 3G Internet network, although Verizon already have in many cities in the United States, but is still far from expected.

Ms. Amero was a relief teacher in Connecticut, who found herself convicted on pornography charges when the classroom computer was infected by spyware.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('UNIQUE NAME')">Click here for readmore.......</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;" class="commenthidden" id="UNIQUE NAME"><p>You may not be a teacher, you may not live in Connecticut, and you may not be interested in pornography. But her experience is one we could all learn from.<br /><br />The case dates back to Oct. 19, 2004, when Ms. Amero was substituting for a seventh-grade language class at Kelly Middle School in Norwich, Connecticut. Pupils, being kids, would lark around on the teacher's computer when the regular teacher was out of the room; when Ms. Amero took charge of the class, the computer started showing pornographic images.<br /><br />Now we're not talking a full-on peep show for the class here. When Ms. Amero realized what was going on she tried to block students from seeing what was on the screen. She tried to get help, but none came.<br /><br />But that didn't stop her being convicted, more than two years later, on four counts of risk of injury to a minor, or impairing the morals of a child.<br /><br />The original case was later thrown out, but Ms. Amero, on the advice of her lawyers, has tried to end the nightmare by admitting on Nov. 22 to one misdemeanor charge and surrendering her state teaching license. She's also been hospitalized for stress and heart problems.<br /><br />Of course, this case should never have come to trial. And most of you don't live in places where law enforcement officials are so clueless about how computers work.<br /><br />But it does carry some important lessons.<br /><br />First off, what is spyware? Spyware is software that installs itself on your computer without you necessarily knowing about it. It could be downloaded simply by visiting a website.<br /><br />Sometimes it's deliberately downloaded -- usually by young people who don't know better. Sometimes it comes hidden inside legitimate software. Even reputable outfits like Yahoo, Apple, Microsoft and Google try to "push" their software in underhanded ways.<br /><br />So what does this stuff do? Well, it can be relatively harmless. Some spyware -- we prefer the term "malware", as it includes all forms of software that don't have your interests at heart -- will try to change your browser's homepage. Others, like the ones Ms. Amero found herself besieged by, will pop up windows pushing unwelcome products at you.<br /><br />At the far end of the spectrum are programs which will report back on your activities -- your passwords, your browsing habits -- to bad people with bad intentions.<br /><br />Bottom line: Spyware is bad for your computer, and, possibly, bad for your career.<br /><br />Ms. Amero appears to have been let down by the school. The computer had a program installed on it that was designed to filter out trash. But the license had not been renewed, so the filter had not been updated.<br /><br />The porn may have got through anyway. No filter is ever going to keep the bad guys out. But if you're going to install software like that you really need to make sure it's updated.<br /><br />I've seen enough of this to know how easy it is to get infected by this stuff, and how hard it is to get it off.<br /><br />The sad thing is that the infections usually come from kids messing around on the family computer, and so it's them who get to see the bad stuff. Parents then freak out, blame the kids and then ban them from the computer.<br /><br />So, adults -- parents, teachers -- need to understand this kind of thing better. Here's how (thanks to Mark Trudinger of child-friendly search engine Kindernet.com for contributions):<br /><br />First, install antivirus software, make sure a firewall is installed, and then something called Windows Defender, which will keep an eye on stuff. I also use something called WinPatrol (www.winpatrol.com) to monitor what programs try to mess around with my computer behind my back.<br /><br />Second, limit which people can download and install on the computer. Windows XP lets you set up different accounts for different users; kids should not have accounts which allow them to install programs. Vista users will find parental controls built in. Play around with them until you're happy.<br /><br />Lastly, most browsers allow you to stop pop-ups. This should keep your desktop clean.<br /><br />If you do think you're infected, run antivirus software, run the Windows Defender software, and, if you're still worried, call for help. If you're a teacher, turn off the computer monitor, or remove it from the classroom. If you're not allowed to do that, stick paper over it.<br /><br />There's a bigger point here. I don't want to sound unsympathetic to Ms. Amero. She describes herself as a "computer neophyte" -- not someone who really knows what's going on when it comes to computers. This used to be OK. But I don't think it is anymore.<br /><br />Most of us encounter computers at home, at work, at play. Many of us rely on them for our livelihoods. Ms. Amero did; she was a teacher, and no teacher nowadays can avoid computers.<br /><br />As parents, too, we need to understand this stuff. Not all of it, but enough to protect ourselves and the kids we're responsible for.<br /><br />No longer can we throw up our hands and say "I don't know how to work this thing, so I'm not responsible".<br /><br />If nothing else, we need to know enough to be able to scream "help!" until a techie guy comes running.<br /><br />We may not end up convicted of corrupting minors if we don't. But if Ms. Amero's case is anything to go by, the days of the "computer neophyte defense" are over.<br /><br /></p></div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-77451692988265054032008-12-01T02:07:00.000-08:002008-12-01T04:17:51.304-08:00VIRAL LINKINGI've got this Viral Linking Tag from my friend <a href="http://mykawali.blogspot.com"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">tridabiz</span></a> and since i'm new on this kind of virus then i navigate my internet browser to Jenny Talks' blog.

However, some types of stores would only accept certain goods from the supplier.<br />Or if not, they provide certain requirements, like minimum number of items of goods, the continuity of supply, discounts, etc..<br />If your product unique and not the market, better to do online marketing.

Ranging from expensive and scarce to rather available and inexpensive, important cents take a number of forms, making the top 10 an interesting and diverse group.<br /><br />The cent was a high priority for the U.S. Mint from its start, with the first cents being minted for circulation in 1793, the year after the Mint opened. Here's my list of the 10 best that have been produced since then.<br /><br />1. The design of the 1793 Flowing Hair chain cent is credited to Henry Voight. It shows Liberty facing left, with a chain reverse of 15 links-one for each state in the Union. An estimated 5,000 to 10,000 were minted with an abbreviated inscription, "UNITED STATES OF AMERI." The remainder of this 36,103-mintage coin carried "AMERICA."<br /><br />No sooner had the first cents appeared than the critics came out in force. Particularly offensive to some were the chains. The idea was to show unity, but to some the chain represented captivity. The 1793 Flowing Hair chain cent is extremely popular today. It is usually found well-worn. The demand is always far in excess of the supply, which means even a Good-4 commands a $7,750 price tag.<br /><br />2. Next is the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. In fact, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent is technically a pattern, as the Flying Eagle cent was not even authorized until 1857.<br /><br />The 1856 Flying Eagle cent was basically a test of a new, smaller cent that would not have an intrinsic value anywhere near its face value. Therefore, it was a bold departure from prior practice. The first 1,000 were given out to congressmen and others in influence in an attempt to win its approval.<br /><br />It was coined for circulation into 1858, and collectors soon realized the 1856 was far tougher than the 1857 or the 1858. The Mint at the time was a very different sort of place and collectors wanting an 1856 Flying Eagle cent simply went to the Mint and asked for one. The Mint cheerfully provided the coins. We cannot be sure of the initial mintage, but most put it at somewhere between 1,500 and 3,500.<br /><br />Over the years the 1856 has not been dismissed as a pattern. From the start it was seen as a prized addition to a cent collection. As such, the coins were selling for $1 each as early 1859.<br /><br />The 1856 was hoarded by the wealthy collectors of the late 1800s and early 1900s, with famous hoards in some cases topping 500 examples. The significance of those hoards can be seen in today's list price of $6,250 for an 1856 in G-4. The 1856 ranks as a truly significant coin not only because it is scarce but also because it opened the door to the idea of a small cent.<br /><br />3. In 1859 an entirely new cent appeared with James B. Longacre's Indian Head obverse. The 1859 was important as a one-year transitional piece. The following year the design on the reverse was changed to show an oak wreath and a small shield.<br /><br />Fortunately, despite only being produced for one year, the 1859 had a high mintage of 36,400,000. It is available today at $12.50 in G-4, $215 in Mint State-60, and $3,200 in MS-65.<br /><br />4. The 1877 Indian Head cent is next on my list. It had a mintage of 852,500 and was quickly recognized as being scarce. It remains tough today, listing at $590 in G-4, $2,850 in MS-60, and $8,750 in MS-65.<br /><br />5. The 1908-S Indian Head cent is important for a very simple reason. It was the first cent to be produced at any facility other than Philadelphia. Until a couple years earlier, there had been a stipulation in the law that coins containing no gold or silver could only be produced at Philadelphia. That somewhat unusual idea had been the result of Western mining interests who wanted nothing to do with coins not containing the metals they were mining. That feeling was especially strong during the 1870s, when the price of silver was declining.<br /><br />Finally, in the early 1900s, the law was changed, as lower denominations were needed even in the West, and having them shipped from Philadelphia when there were mints in San Francisco and Denver was ridiculous.<br /><br />The 1908-S was the first cent to be produced in San Francisco, with Denver joining in with cent production starting in 1911.<br /><br />It is clear the 1908-S was noticed as it was saved in some numbers, making it available today at just $60 in G-4, $275 in MS-60, and $650 in MS-65. The price of a G-4 is unusually close to the MS-60 simply because the 1908-S was a bigger deal than we might think today and that meant significant saving at the time it was released.<br /><br />6. The 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln cent is also a coin of great importance. Prior to the 1909 V.D.B. no circulating coin of the United States had depicted a famous American. Although Washington had already appeared on the 1900 Lafayette commemorative silver dollar, the idea of not using depictions of real Americans on circulating coins dated from his time. He had joined the House of Representatives in blocking the use of his image on coins.<br /><br />This held until Teddy Roosevelt came along with the idea that the centennial of Lincoln's birth should be noted on a circulating coin. The artist selected by Roosevelt, Victor D. Brenner, contributed to the fame of the first Lincoln cent by having his initials on the reverse.<br /><br />Officials had actually approved that idea, but when they saw the first Lincoln cent they changed their minds and the V.D.B. was ordered removed. Before the initials could be removed, 27,995,000 of the new 1909 V.D.B. cents had been produced at Philadelphia, which was enough to make them available today at just $9.50 for an MS-60 and $100 for an MS-65.<br /><br />The price indicates the heavy saving. Like the 1908-S, the 1909 V.D.B. was much more important than we might think. Many opposed the idea of using famous Americans on the circulating coins, but eventually the nation's coinage would become literally a portrait gallery of historic figures. That all started with the 1909 Lincoln cent.<br /><br />7. The 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cent can probably be best described as the 1877 of the following century. What is special about the 1909-S V.D.B. is that it had a mintage of just 484,000 before the order came down to remove the initials. That made it instantly a valuable and popular cent.<br /><br />The 1909-S V.D.B. was readily saved as can be seen in the numbers of examples available today in grades like About Uncirculated-50 and up. Even so, generation after generation of collectors have tried to find a 1909-S V.D.B. in circulation, making it the most desired coin by collectors for years. The 1909-S V.D.B. lists for $550 in G-4, $1,300 in MS-60, and $6,750 in MS-65.<br /><br />8. The cents of 1943 are special as they are really souvenirs of World War II. In an attempt to conserve copper for the war effort, it was decided that an alternative alloy for the cent was needed and that turned out to be zinc-coated steel.<br /><br />The new steel cents, which were subject to rusting, were unpopular with the public. The 1943 zinc-coated steel cents would be produced for just one year, with cents of the next couple years being made from recycled shell cases.<br /><br />The 1943 zinc-coated steel cents, though readily available at low prices, are popular today because of their link to the war. A set of three MS-65 examples from Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver can be had for around $25.<br /><br />9. The numismatic world was surprised back in 1955 by the discovery that some 1955 cents were doubled on the obverse. The 1955 doubled-die cent was a national sensation and it has kept its popularity. Prices today range from $1,350 in Extremely Fine-40 to $34,500 in MS-65.<br /><br />10. The final coin on my list of most important cents is the one everyone takes for granted and that is the 1959 Lincoln cent with the Memorial reverse. It is readily available, but the real story is not its price, but its creation to mark the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln cent.<br /><br />Under the law, once a coin has been in circulation for 25 years the Treasury Department can order a change without consulting Congress. The Lincoln Memorial reverse was the last time a Treasury secretary changed a design using that power, which makes it an important coin.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what happens in 2009, when this design reaches its half century anniversary. From the historic to the popular, from the scarce to the common, the most important cents of the United States are a fascinating group. A few others could probably be added to such a list but in every case the 10 most important cents have excellent reasons for standing out in what has now been more than two centuries of very interesting cents.</div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-90395221223854493852008-11-14T04:56:00.000-08:002008-11-14T04:57:16.137-08:00Banks, investment firms borrow less from Fed<p style="text-align: justify;">WASHINGTON – Banks and investment firms reduced borrowing from the Federal Reserve's emergency lending program over the past week, although demand for the loans remains elevated.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The Fed's report, released Thursday, shows <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1226612707_0">commercial banks</span> averaged $95.4 billion in daily borrowing over the past week.

Which Makes More Sense?<div style="text-align: justify;">For high bandwidth - high capacity network infrastructures today .... you can look toward Ethernet or SONET based solutions. But which makes more sense for YOU.<br /><br />Since you're not likely to be able to run Ethernet to meet your actual WAN requirements, what you are effectively doing is outsourcing the edge of your network to your carrier.<br /><br />Your carrier will run SONET services to an edge device, manage that device, and hand you an Ethernet connection. <br /><br />As always, there are advantages and disadvantages with each. With the Ethernet solution, you get simplicity, and have lower capital equipment costs on your side, but you're probably, in effect, leasing that equipment the carrier uses at your site as part of your monthly recurring cost (MRC). You're also "outsourcing" the operation of the WAN side of the hand-off, which might work well for you of your staff is generally more experienced with LAN technologies, and you're carrier is competent in handling this responsibility for you.<br /><br />If you go the SONET route, you'll be buying interfaces for your routers, and these expenses can start to add up. On the other hand, you've got more control, or at least more say, in what's being delivered to you. If you need ring and equipment diversity, and want to have the egress side of your rings be at diverse locations, it's *your* circuit. If you want to know that the protect channel is assigned to your needs, your equipment is on it and you have that visibility. If you have an Ethernet interface being dropped off, you might have less visibility into what lies beyond, and have less of an argument for being involved in how your carrier is engineering what lies past that edge device.<br /><br />In more complex environments, there may be other concerns as well. If you're running POS into your routers, you have the ability to run a layer two service on top of this, and virtualize that OCx circuit. A collegue put OCx into an MPLS environment where it became desirable to operate more than one MPLS VRF, and building two FR PVCs on top of the POS, one to each VRF, was a simple solution. If he had the same need with a carrier-provided Ethernet edge device, he'd have likely needed to pay another monthly charge for another Ethernet port to accomplish the same thing.<br /><br />Either technology may be the right choice .... depending on where you want the costs and the design and operational responsibilities to fall.</div>private businesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07865660144680709971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975043332244810188.post-44266752948767176872008-11-13T05:28:00.000-08:002008-11-14T04:36:50.681-08:00Business Travel EmergencyUnexpected things happen when you’re traveling.
