HTC Mobile - Outstanding Performance

By Michael Erikson

With life coming at you so fast, it is important to stay abreast of the latest technological terms.

One piece of mobile technology that you need to check out is the HP iPAQ Pocket PC HX4700. This is the top of the line model, as far as mobile technologies go, and has received fantastic reviews from both users and the editorial staff of CNET. You can find these reviews at www.cnet.com and take a look at the 7.9 and 7.3 reviews. The website gives insight to new gadgets so you can compare, side to side, with other hand held devices.

The reviews come from its outstanding performance and speed. The HX4700 is operating on Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition and has the capabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with a 624 MHz XScale processor from Hewlett Packard. The four inch screen is unbelievable with its color pixels and it features a replaceable battery to ensure that documents and other information are not lost when the battery dies. It also features a large quantity of memory and is equipped with Outlook, Word, Excel and Internet Explorer.

If there is a downside to the HX4700, then it's all in size.

Granted, there are other manufacturers of mobile technologies that may come with a cheaper price tag, but only you can make that determination. One opponent in the mobile technology market is Apple's iPhone. Users of the iPhone are hard pressed to find many drawbacks to this product other than the price, which is a whopping $399. Before you make any purchase, first determine your needs and take a look at the individual specifications of each hand held.

Sometimes, there are terms that can apply to different applications. Take for example mobile technologies. In one instance it is referring to a dual-action processor found in many desktop computers and laptops. In this example, it refers to the use of mobile technology, such as PDAs, pocket PCs and Smartphones. The use of these technologies is increasing every day as more people crave the latest gadgets on the market.

It is a bit bulky, but is still a very sleek pocket PC. There is a small handicap present when the user first operates the new touchpad and this can translate into poor gaming, for those that use their pocket PC for gaming in particular. If you are in the market for a pocket PC for gaming purposes, then you may want to turn to Dell's Axim.

From the Stars to the Streets

By James Gilbert Pynn

Neil Armstrong said it: "Houston, the Eagle has landed." But those famous words would not be uttered for years when the Soviet Space Program successfully sent Sputnik into orbit in 1957. Congress reacted with a swiftness reserved for a national crisis. Indeed, for many Americans, the perceived superiority of the Soviet program was tantamount to a crisis. President Eisenhower moved quickly to establish both NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) in 1958.

The motto declared "For the Benefit of All," but NASA moved quickly for the American public when it launched the Explorer 1 satellite on January 31, 1958. Led by the former head of the German rocket program, Wernher von Braun, NASA immediately began to explore the possibility of sending human beings into space. Dubbed Project Mercury, this program involved seven original astronauts, of whom, Alan Shepard became the first American into space, while John Glenn would become the first American to orbit the earth.

With the Space Race essentially in hand, NASA began implementing a new tracking system, called the Global Positioning System (GPS). The system involved the use of satellites to track the position and location of both spacecraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Initially developed by the Navy, the first successful GPS tracking system was dubbed Transit, and used five satellites to triangulate positions around the globe.

Though GPS systems had been used exclusively by the military and government, all that changed in 1983. In that year, a Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down the civilian Korean Air airliner KAL 007, killing all 269 people on board. The plane had strayed into Soviet airspace and although the Soviet had probable cause to destroy the perceived threat, it was determined had the airliner had accurate navigational systems, the tragedy could have been avoided. President Ronald Reagan subsequently announced that civilians and civilian agencies should have access to the GPS tracking systems.

GPS systems have become integral components of modern American life. From the Space Race to racing down the highway, a GPS system is guiding us. Not only has it become the preeminent navigational system for cars, but the scientific community has used it to track wild and domestic animals and migration patterns. Law enforcement uses GPS tracking to find stolen cars and keep tabs on criminals on bail or probation. Now, not only can someone find where they are on a city grid, but also he or she can find nearby businesses and restaurants. The uses, and the wonders, never end.

Download Games For Wii

By Billy Jean

Hard core gamers, casual console players, console enthusiasts. All agree, the Wii rocks. Its a phenomenon in the gaming world as more and more Wii communities spring up with Wii parties being all the rage. Not really a huge surprise as the Wii packs a big punch in a small package. Blast aliens, play sports, get fit. Theres entertainment for all the family on the Wii. The only downside to all the fun though has to be the high cost of game discs.

New games are getting more and more complex, a fact reflected in the increasing prices for new releases. But is there a cheaper option than simply buying new games? Well luckily for Wii gamers there is. Being a digital product, Wii games can be sold effectively over the internet. Wii games download sites are becoming increasingly popular with more and more services now offering cheap Wii games for download. So what are the best ways to download Wii games.

The answer to how to download Wii games can be found on various P2P sites (peer to peer) and occasionally on some of the larger torrent sites. These sites however usually have a long and frustrating user interface and stories abound of long download times and non-working games at the end of it all. Surf these sites at your own risk and keep in mind they are usually rife with malware and other spyware, making them a no-go for most serious Wii gamers.

Much better to turn to a reputable membership download site. Ease of use, peace of mind, all at a minimal cost. Different levels of paid memberships are available, catering to all needs and requirements. Membership plans involving payment per download or even limited time downloads might appeal to the more casual gamers, but these plans are limited. The serious Wii gamer wants full access to all the latest Downloadable Wii Games and all the new releases.

Lifetime unlimited plans are by far the best choice and the majority of Wii gamers opt for types of memberships. In contrast to pay-per-download plans, games from unlimited membership plans are essentially free. The small, one time membership fee is for the download software and tools. In addition to unlimited games, members also have access to all the latest movies, mp3s and even TV series. These unlimited membership plans cost little more than a store bought Wii game.

Finding a site offering download games to wii is easy. Finding a safe, reliable, professional provider takes a bit more effort. Not all membership sites offer value for money. With the growing popularity of the Wii download market, all kinds of scam sites are springing up every day. Only use membership sites that offer a full refund guarantee. Insist on full 24/7 support from the service providers. Keep safe from identity theft by using reliable e-commerce networks like Clickbank.

The Short Cut To Success

By Lynn Pierce

There's one common theme that shows up over and over in emails, blog posts, Ask campaigns and phone calls. Year after year, it's always the same. But I don't think I ever realized the extent of what you were asking for, until now. Do you know what I'm talking about?

You want a short cut, not just a process, but a short cut for the system, a short cut for the program, the Cliff notes of the book, you want the magic pill.

Poof, it's done.

Actually, now that I'm writing this I can think of a couple Internet marketing things I'd like that magic pill for myself, but I've never found one and I don't believe it really exists.

I'm not saying it's an inherently bad thing to want it boiled down to the barest of effort, to almost eliminate the learning curve. I know it's not that you're lazy. I get that you're totally and frustratingly overwhelmed. There's way too much information and too many offers and too many programs that say you can't live without this new and improved tool that will instantly transform your business.

In very few instances that may be true.

But it's not always possible. Most of the time there is some level of work on your part and a learning curve involved. How much time, money and effort will vary depending on what you're doing and also to a certain extent what level of success you choose to achieve.

You do consciously or sub-consciously choose your level of success by choosing your level of commitment and the level of education you decide to buy. Yes, I said buy, because most high level education that leads to lasting success is something you buy. From a $7 report to a $100,000 a year mentoring program. You choose.

I understand your financial ability plays a role in what you buy, but you need to understand that your financial situation will rarely shift on it's own without you taking a leap of faith and possibly putting something on a credit card, or a few credit cards. In the first 2 years I was learning this business I built up quite a library of resource that helped me grow and I was initially putting out a lot more money than I was taking in. I took a leap of faith. Without doing that I don't believe I would be where I am today.

Most people need more to be successful than just one quick fix and thats what Ive been thinking about the last few days. Ive been asking myself how can I put together all the different pieces I teach into a cohesive package that delivers exactly what you need.

So I've laid all the piece out here for you. If you think there's one you need right now grab it and run with it.

There are 4 areas that will help you build your business and also allow you to live the life of your dreams. It's a process and you need to cover all four areas to sustain the success you build.

1. Introspection: Who are you? What do you want in your life? What will make you change?

2. Out-Picturing: What is your passion? How are you going to design and create the life of your dreams? What will the business be that funds all this?

3. Sales and Communication Skills: How are you going to speak to your target market about what you've created? What kind of branding,marketing materials, sales copy, talks, presentations are you going to create to bring in new clients? What is going to be the foundation of how you speak your business in the world? How will you learn to effectively communicate with your clients?

4. Putting It All Together and Growing: Where will you get the tools, strategies,and training to continuously take your business and your life to the next level?

Here's some of your comments that have been keeping me up at night working on a way to put it all together to give you the easiest, most streamlined solution:

"Ive spent the last 2 years or so chasing the wind online (and spending a ton!) but learning all the outer ring aspects like marketing, sales copy, writing articles, etc., etc., etc.I just cant find that niche for me."

"I feel like Im tied up because once I get that piece of the puzzle I think I could move rather quickly. But like you said, most of the material out today doesnt really show or teach you how to dig that outmost assume you already have that or just tell you to use PLR materials which I really dont want to do."

I know I have side stepped topics in the past because of this has already been addressed only to see someone else recycle the topic in a new package.

"you are talking directly to me about the expert that discourages you from getting out there with your message."

"I have always been known as an ideas guy, but I am miserable at putting things into action."

"...multiple interest, but when it comes to narrowing choices down and implementation, I fail miserably"

"To actually hone in on a certain niche, and be able to express my single most passion has been a trying journey. Spending untold dollars on courses on both personal development, and learning the ways of internet marketing has been continual, but now it is time to stop and just go for it."

"Converting ones true passion into a monetarily successful reality can be daunting."

All 4 elements are essential even if you feel like you have one specific piece that's holding you back. The thing is, you're willing to go there at a different rate of speed and to a different depth than someone else may be. And then there are the fears-known or unknown-that have kept you where you are right now, or at least moving forward much slower than what's possible for you. Honestly, if it wasnt scary for you on some level, you would have already done it. And most often the blocks you are aware of are the symptoms, not the cause.

If youre ready to get your life on track and build a business that will have a solid foundation, then the best way to do that is to take the weekend and get it done. If you want everything all wrapped up into one neat little package, a stripped down 'essentials only' system to getting past all the concerns that are expressed in the comments below, I've been listening to the requests for a live event.

The questions you want to ask yourself are, "how much is it costing me to take lesser action in my life today than what I know is possible? And how long am I willing to settle for less?"

It is possible to move past all of these concerns in a matter of hours, just one short weekend. Are you ready?

Find Address Using Phone Numbers - The Way To Do It

By Davion W

It's amazing how technology is advancing, offering loads of hi-tech devices, gadgets, and what more! When they say anything is possible with an internet connection, they certainly weren't joking. Nowadays, tracking phone numbers and addresses are possible in practically a blink of an eye.

These tracking devices take the name of reverse lookup phone number database and it works by tracking down basic info such as name and address of the person whose number, whether it be a landline phone number, mobile phone number, or even an unlisted number, you are searching.

You can make a free search of the internet, and you will discover many sites that will enable you to take advantage of this service for free. Then again, you have to exercise caution around these sites, because most sites claim that you can make an address lookup through phone number for free, but when you actually visit the site, you will realize that you have to pay a certain amount to get the info that you want.

Nonetheless, it is still possible that you will find a credible site that will not mislead you into believing that the site is free to begin with. If you take time on the internet, you will discover a good number of sites which allows you to find addresses using phone numbers after you have duly registered.

It is only proper that you will have to pay for the service to start using phone numbers to find addresses. After all, such act can be abused by certain people, using it to set up a crime or anything of the sort. For purposes of privacy and security, therefore, and to discourage criminals from taking advantage of it, a form of payment is required. This way, if you do not have an urgent need to find addresses using phone numbers, you will not be easily tempted to use this service at all.

Whatever information you gain by using such service, be sure to handle it well. What you have there is something important, so any action you take can either save a life or lose it. If you therefore suspect something to be not quite right, immediately report the situation to the concerned authorities.

Finding addresses using phone numbers should only be done when it is needed. One should also do it for a good purpose. In this way, privacy and protection of people can still be valued. Hopefully, information is not abused and will not fall into the hands of the wrong people. The internet is not the safest pen to play in anymore. But it contains some of the greatest tools ever.

There's more information in my site helping you to find address using phone numbers in quick easy steps.

4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life

By Lynn Pierce

This has been going on forever, since advertising began, but I swear it's getting worse. Everywhere I look I see people advertising quick fixes for almost anything you need, business or personal.

For instance, I'm shocked at the list of horrible side effects people are willing to endure to get a quick fix for one thing or another from a pill they can pop instead of changing a habit.

The simple fact is there is no magic bullet, but there are some core principles that if implemented fully into your life will make you feel like you do have that magic bullet.

It's become a part of our society to treat the symptoms and never even take the time to uncover the cause, much less take responsibility for it or do anything constructive to change it.

In a real sense it's true of weight problems, health issues, issues in personal relationships, addictions, money issues, lifestyle issues and certainly with business.

In business the quick fix is king. Why do you think the get rich quick pitch is perennially one of the biggest money makers for marketers, followed closely by the next tricked out tool that will, of course, make you rich right now?

I'm sure if you've been in business for any length of time you've heard someone say, "Sell them what they want, not what they need."

Even seemingly intelligent people who know the quick fix isn't going to happen will still buy it just in case this one is the real deal. I know I've done it. It's human nature to not want to miss out on the next big thing.

But when you look inside yourself and take a deep breath and get centered and listen to your inner voice, you know none of it is true. The truth is, it all begins and ends with you.

So where do you start if you are ready to take responsibility for your life and create your future?

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you've created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be...

No magic bullet required!

In the next 4 weeks we will go in depth on each of these areas:

*Introspection and Discovery of Purpose *Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams *Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills *Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business

Right now I'd like you to read each one of those 4 lines out loud and notice the feeling in your body when you say the words.

Do you tense up? Does your stomach tighten? Do your shoulders drop? Do you take a relaxed breath?

How does your body instinctively react to the words when you read them out loud? And yes, it does make a difference to say it out loud.

What thoughts pop into your mind?

What kind of pictures show up in your head?

These are all indications of where you instinctively feel good about where you're at and where you know you need some help. If you pay close attention to your reaction you'll also feel how much resistance you have to doing anything about your current situation in respect to that area of your life.

Isn't it amazing how much information you can find out about yourself from verbalizing and then just being aware of your reaction?

Listen to what you really need and move toward those things first.

Next week we'll go into Introspection and Discover of Purpose.

Until then, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Clarke's Orbit

By James Gilbert Pynn

Chances are if you ask the average person if he or she has ever heard of Arthur C. Clarke they will respond with a glazed look in their eyes. But, if you then played the opening bars of Strausss Thus Spoke Zarathustra and mentioned Stanley Kubrick, you may actually get a flicker of recognition. If you spoke the famous line, Open the pod bay doors, HAL! you could well get a big smile and a definitive Right, right!

There is little celebration for a science fiction or fantasy writer. Many of the greats were little noticed in their lifetimes. Though this is certainly not the case with Clarke, Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, or Isaac Asimov, there are a hundred writer for each of them that have never seen a Nebula Award or an Oscar. Literary or even cultural obscurity is one thing, but to fail to recognize a scientific breakthrough is shameful.

The awareness of Clarke as a great writer is one thing, but his real, scientific contributions are another. Few people are aware of the fact he pioneered the concept upon which modern global satellite communication is based. Having served in the Royal Air Force from 1941 through 1946 as a radar instructor and technician, Clarke first proposed the idea of a satellite-based communications system in 1945. He proposed geostationary satellites could be used as telecommunication relays in a paper entitled Extra-Terrestrial Relays, which was published in Wireless World in 1945.

This simple idea has had a profound affect on our daily lives, especially with regards to GPS tracking systems. It is easy to take the technology that makes cellphones and instant driving directions possible for granted. By triangulating a receiver on a phone or GPS device, satellites can pinpoint our location and lead us, as it were, to the Promised Land. A bit much to ask of a cellphone? Nonsense.

It is impressive that he envisioned the potential of the satellite well before the computer was little more than conjecture. He claimed the idea came from his experience with radar systems, wherein objects and their direction and trajectory can be accessed by the bounce effect of radar waves off metallic objects. GPS tracking systems and wireless telecommunications work on the same principle of deflected and directed waves, all triangulated by the sea of satellites orbiting the earth. A debt is owed to this bold visionary.

Finding Out About Reverse Phone Number Search Sites

By Shedi Alisino

In today's world, with the advent and proliferation of cellular and unlisted phones, it can be very difficult to find any information on a telephone number you may be interested in. You can look in the phone book and many times they will have their database of listed numbers in order, all you need to do is match the name with the number. This is a free and easy way to match up someones name. Most will not contain an address but with a little more digging you can find that as well. Simply go to your local tax assessors office, enter the name, and you soon have a list of possible matches. If you have a cell phone or unlisted number, this will prove to be difficult. There are many an online resource to help you out.

You typically will not find what you are looking for when entering a reverse phone number search into a typical search engine. We will explain in detail lataer how the reverse number lookup databases work but for now we will explain what they are and how they can be used. Are you wondering about that blind date you are going on? Did they give you an accurate address? Do you just want to check up on them? Are you a landlord screening potential tenants? Are you looking for someone who has skipped out on rent? If you have a telephone number for the people, you can find out where they are located, just by knowing a few simple pieces of information such as their current phone number and first, last name. You might need to do a little digging, but getting the information you need is just a click away.

The telephone search directories get their information from databases that are not accessible by the search engines. Anytime someone buys a magazine subscription or puts their number anywhere in a database, it can be found in these databases. The system can determine whether it is a cell phone number by the digits that are contained in the number. Cell phones typically use a range of prefixes that identity them as cell phones. Once a match is made with a person's name, the system can determine if it is a landline or cell phone.

Databases are getting better at each passing day. They are constantly changing and being updated. If you can not find a number in there today, chances are real good that you will be able to in the future. If you get obscene calls, or just calls you do not want to hear, or wonder who they are, you now have the capability to find out who these people are.

5 Keys to Developing the Courage to Go for Your Dreams

By Lynn Pierce

How do you develop the courage to go for your dreams? That's the million -dollar question, isn't it? Because if you don't learn how, it will not only cost you the millions you could have earned, it will cost you the realization of your passion and your purpose.

It's a lot of fun planning the vision for your life and the action steps you're going to take to live your passion. It's another thing to keep moving forward as it all starts to become real. That's where the fear sets in and you start to wonder what ever made you think you could do this.

Here are 5 keys to developing the courage to go for your dreams:

1. Move past the fear

I'm sorry to tell you I haven't found a magic pill for this. It has to come from inside of you. Nobody can do it for you. And it all starts with your vision.

There is so much more to creating a vision for your life than just discovering your passion. There's so much more than just writing down some goals. I would venture to say that you've done that before and it wasn't enough to get you where you want to go.

Fear not! There's a system for creating a vision for your life, just as there is a system for anything else you want to be successful at. The question is whether you will take the time to learn it.

Discovering your purpose was only the first step. To walk through your fear, you have to be clear on where you are going.

2. Create a strong vision

You need a vision that is so strong you can't possibly walk away from it.

Once you have a strong, compelling vision that's based on your passion and purpose in life, how could you let anything stop you?

When you know what you want and you've visualized it over and over and over until it becomes part of who you are, how could you stop?

When you see yourself in the life you will have upon the realization of you vision, how could you stop?

The answer is, you can't! You can't stop; it's impossible! You can drag out the process, but as hard as you try, you can't stop!

3. Stop projecting future catastrophes

Are you aware that 95% of the things you spend your time worrying about never happen? So, isn't worrying about the outcome of things you haven't done yet ridiculous?

Once you realize you've invested so much of yourself into your vision that there's nothing that's going to stop you from creating everything you've envisioned, what's the point in letting your fears delay the inevitable?

And it is inevitable. With the vision you've created, you've tapped into the Universal Laws and everything you need is being drawn to you as we speak. You've used the law of attraction by being clear on what you want and asking for it. You've used the law of creating a vacuum by clearing out a lot of the things that no longer fit in your life to make space available for something better to show up. Think about it.

You can run and you can hide, but eventually everything you visualize will come to you if you take all the necessary steps. So why fight it? This is what you want more than anything, isn't it?

Are you crazy? Why would you spend your time discovering your passion and creating a vision for it if you had no intention of following through? Are you the kind of person who does things like this for an intellectual exercise?

Well guess what, the joke's on you. You've created a process you can't stop. It will move forward whether you have chickened out or not. So what's the point in trying to avoid your future success?

4. Get Out of the Way

When did you want something so bad you could taste it and then decide you were too scared to go for it?

The only courage you need to go for your dreams is the courage to get out of your own way. Just take a deep breath and move aside.

If you look back over your life, I'm sure you can find many examples when you did just this.

So the next time you feel like your courage to go for your dream has abandoned you, just tell yourself there is no reason to fight it. Falling into your fears can postpone your success for a while, but you can't stop it, so why even try.

Get back on that horse and keep riding to the finish line.

5. You've Always Had It, Dorothy

The good news is you don't have to worry about how you'll develop the courage to go for your dreams. You already have it.

When you feel like it's too big for you to go on, look at how far you've come already.

The bottom line regarding courage comes from the Wizard of Oz. Towards the end of the movie, Dorothy thinks she'll never go home. Just then Glinda the good witch shows up. She tells her she's always had the power to go back to Kansas but she didn't tell her before because she wouldn't have believed her. She had to learn it for herself.

But to find out how to unleash the power she had inside, she needed to ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need.

So my little Dorothy, you've always had the power inside you. All you have to do is have someone show you where it is. You're so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Get some mentoring if you aren't achieving what you want as fast as you want it. You may need an outside perspective and a little refocusing. Because when your actions and your purpose are in alignment everything falls into place. Things just flow. I can help you get there.

I'd be happy to mentor you to successfully:

# Make your dreams more than just a dream # Develop specific, targeted goals # Take action on your goals # Create a plan that gives you the courage # Create a roadmap to make your success a reality

Satellite Internet Access for Middle East Locations

By Lawrence Fernandes

There are many advantages in having satellite Internet access for Middle East computers. You have to realize that some people have no terrestrial access to the Internet. This is true in the Middle East and in many other locations the world over. China, Africa, and even Europe are just some examples. It is very easy for people in North America to take their own access for granted. We never stop to think that other people may not be able to get online in this day and age. However, that is true - and satellite access can make it better.

A lot of us may not know what it even means to have a satellite connection. As the name implies, the connection comes from satellites. This type of connection is used when a land line connection is not otherwise accessible. It also allows boats, planes, and other land locked vehicles or moving locations to have steady Internet access.

This is very recent technology. It has not been around for very long. The speed of a satellite connection is extremely fast. Whether you have a PC, a laptop, or a Mac, you can probably get satellite Internet access. Not only will you have high speeds, you will constantly be connected. That means no waiting for dial up access or any thing else.

Typically, satellite Internet connections run as quickly as a DSL connection. However, some of the inherent problems users experience with DSL are not apparent in a satellite connection. Still, it is consider a high speed connection to the Internet.

In order to qualify for and adequately receive a satellite Internet connection, you do need to have a few things besides a computer. For one thing, there needs to be open access to the southern portion of the sky. That is why locations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia are a good place to get this type of connection. In a great many areas, the view to the south is clear and unobstructed.

As a matter of fact, that marks yet one more difference between a DSL connection and one you get via satellite. If you are not located close to the service tower when you have DSL, your connection will not be that great. With a satellite connection, it does not matter where you are. All that matters is the openness of your access to the southern sky.

Satellite Internet access would be beneficial to the Middle East for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it will allow people who might not otherwise have Internet access to get online. People would not have to rely on Internet cafes, for example. Besides, this type of Internet access tends to be less expensive than a terrestrial connection, which is unquestionably beneficial to natives of the Middle East.

Natives to the Middle East are not the only ones who could benefit either. At present, there are a lot of soldiers who are stationed in that area. They are on the move quite a lot.

Business - Advertising on Television

By Melinda Mahrer

Advertisements of products, organizations, and services are generally aired on television. This is be done by buying slots on the airtime from a particular television channel. Price depends on the popularity of the channel, time the commercial is being aired, number of viewers and length of the commercial. Placing a commercial on local channels is more inexpensive than on national channel where the cost is almost double.

When thinking of placing a commercial on television it is advised that you first understand what audience needs to be reached. Different audiences have different taste, which can be determined by their choice of television show like celebrity talk, cartoons, sports, reality, news, movies, soaps, prime time etc. Prime time is usually from 6 to 7 pm and is the most expensive slot. Following it is the news time at noon or 10-11 pm slots, which are proven to be the most effective time slots for the success of a commercial. More inexpensive is the 12-4 pm soap time. Always check out with the income representative for the prices. When advertising on national level, check out an ad agency that usually works on commission basis. It's highly recommended to negotiate during a re-run of the advertisement and stay away from paying the complete amount.

Compare the prices of different networks and different programs before you place an ad. Another money saving trick is to buy a thirty seconds slot and air commercials of ten to fifteen seconds of length one after the other. This increases the possibility of target viewers seeing the commercial without the cost of re-runs. But this is risky as the pressure of conveying critical information in a short period of time increases. So the commercials should not be so short that the actual message couldn't be delivered correctly to the audience. Usually a reminder commercial can be of a shorter duration.

Look out for the people who would like to buy a slot that has already been purchased. This can be very tricky as it will be more like a bid for which they will be ready to pay a larger amount sometimes even double because they badly need a slot. This usually happens during the holiday season, which comes in the last quarter of the year around New Years Eve, Thanksgiving holidays and Christmas holidays. Best time of the year to buy slots for commercial is the first and second quarter of the year. Price is usually negotiable during the first quarter as the income representatives give discounts to advertisers who have spend a lot of money advertising during the holiday season and are trying to recover from it.

Customarily a 5 percent bonus is offering when signing for a six-month time generation as well as 10 percent when signing for a twelve-month time period. But do keep in thoughts to check out just when a commercials have been being aired given these discounts have been customarily offering to confuse people from this indicate as well as a commercials have been aired during peculiar hours as well as additionally not during a legal holiday season.

The very first commercial to go on air was of Bulova Watch Company on WNBC, United States of America on July 1, 1941. And ever since then there have been no stopping and now commercials sell anything that one can ever imagine.

Pros and Cons of Cable TV and Satellite

By Brian Engle

Being that the digital transition is coming, many people are looking forward to getting a new TV and watching programs in high definition. To get HD channels, one needs either satellite or cable TV, and there are pros and cons to each type.

It is clear that the number of cable and satellite users will increase significantly after the switch to digital broadcasting in 2009. Instead of purchasing a digital converter box, it is better to just get cable or satellite, as they give you more viewing options and present it digitally. For all the people who already have either of these services, the impending transition will have no effect.

The benefits of satellite TV are numerous. The number of basic channels that satellite has exceeds cable, especially in the sports department. A multitude of features are available to further enhance the experience.

On the downside, it can be expensive to set up a satellite system, as you need to purchase equipment and installation services. One of the most advertised disadvantages (by cable providers) is that satellite reception will cease in bad weather. This is true to some extent, but it usually takes especially severe weather to inhibit reception.

The main benefit cable has over satellite is cost. It is much cheaper to go with cable than satellite, that is, unless you buy an excessive amount of features.

Another great benefit of cable is the service of "on demand". With this, you can access an interface any time you want that enables you to browse through certain movies and shows. On demand lets you watch nearly anything when you want regardless of what is on television.

Digital Video Recorder, or DVR, is provided (either free or for a fee) by cable and satellite distributors. This, like many other features, is found in both types of television. Cable and satellite do have a few differences, but they have even more similarities.

If you are having trouble deciding, there may be a chance you don't have to. One's location is a great determinant about whether satellite or cable is a better fit. In some cases, your location might completely remove an option from the table, making the choice exceptionally easy to make.

Cool Ring Tones Make For Cool Cell Phones

By Alf Artagen

You might think you have the coolest cell phone in the world, but if your ring tone is from the last century, you're dead in the water before you even get to begin. Nowadays the coolest cell phones need the ability to blast out the coolest ring tones and all the latest MP3's.

Your cool cell phone is first and foremost a device for communication right? Wrong - today communication takes a back seat to all the other features that are crammed in to the phone.

How can anyone survive in the 21st century without the latest cell phones with the latest features?

Not so long ago the only music you could get on your cell was a monophonic ring tone.

Pretty soon, most phones had the ability to play polyphonic tones plus as much of your favorite music as you could fit in your memory.

Initially polyphonic phones were more expensive than monophonic ones, but they were hugely popular and the demand was enormous. The battle to have the collest ring tones had begun.

It is just a natural chain reaction that would eventually lead from the MP3 cell phones of yesterday to the full out multimedia cell phones of today that can store up to 40 hours or more of movies on board.

It is far more likely that the amount of features on a phone and the cost of the contract will be more of an influence than the service provider when it comes to choosing a phone.

If you are happy to sign up for and be locked in to a contract for some time, you will get to have the choice of all the latest cell phones for virtually nothing.

Luckily in today's day and age though, all you need is a USB 2.0patch cable and you can transfer any song you want to your cell phone. What will be the next big step in cell phone technology though; that is the real question.

Best Handheld Computer

By Michael Erikson

In today's world, it is not feasible to stay out of touch. There are appointments to keep and calls to make. There are emails that cannot go unanswered. You have to be able to edit and send documents while being on the go. Try a handheld computer as a way to help you stay in touch with the world. It has all of the properties of a computer, but is compact so you can carry it with you at all times.

The pocket PC has come a long way since the first model was introduced in the 1980s. The original iPAQ Pocket PC'S were very basic, even though later models added the ability to see a single line of text. That is nothing compared to the newest models, which let you browse the internet, schedule appointments and allow you to send and receive documents, all while being away from the office.

The pocket PC is also known as a Personal Digital Assistant, or PDA. The previous versions ran on Windows Mobile 5, but have since upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. Windows Mobile 5 was a great relief to PDA owners mainly beacuse of battery issues.

In previous versions, if the battery ran dead, then all information would be lost. Mobile 5 eliminated this by storing the information on a flash drive. The handhelds software also improved with version 6, with advanced capabilities, more storage and a feature that allows the PDA to act as a Smartphone.

Some of the abilities of handheld computers are Personal Information Management (PIM), Word processing, GPS navigation, multimedia presentation and many more. Pretty impressive for a little gadget like the PDA.

Many companies elected not to pursue the pocket PC, since Smartphones were becoming more of a mainstream choice. It was this evolution of the cell phone that had many companies altering their selling tactics.

If you find yourself constantly on the go, then a pocket PC is exactly what you need. The new lines of models include Smartphones, which have the latest PC software, along with the speed and processing ability that you need to schedule your appointments, send and receive emails, text message and make calls. If you want to know what brands are on the market, then PalmOs, Blackberry and Hewlett Packard models all make great Smartphones, just to name a few.

BlackBerry Storm

By Matt Ryan

BlackBerry is a very well known name when it comes to cell phones. BlackBerry has always been a dependable name, one who had phones that consumers could rely on - the BlackBerry Storm is no different. This is Blackberry's very first phone with a touch screen, and it happens to be a full screen phone as well.

The accessories, shipped with this unit, are phenomenal: travel charger with an assortment of adapters, a USB cable, an 8GB microSD card, a SIM card, a wired headset, a software CD, and user manual. Consumers have everything they need upon delivery of their unit. Additionally, the phone itself has many amazing features, such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in GPS, media player, video recording, email, organizer, phone, browser, corporate data access, and SMS / MMS.

The latest version of BlackBerrys OS - version 4.7 - is standard on the storm. This version offers a new user interface, one that is more exciting and easy to navigate! Users will also be able to edit documents, like word and excel, due to DataViz Documents. The Standard Version comes with the phone; however, you can upgrade to Premium if you choose. (If you're planning on creating new documents, from your Storm, you will need to upgrade to Premium.)

The BlackBerry Storm is one of the first touch screen phones to utilized SurePress technology. This technology forces users to click on the screen, making for a more realistic experience. For example, when you are typing on the keyboard, you actually have to click in order for the letter to type; this is a much more realistic experience than just tapping your fingertip on the key.

The Storms 3.25-inch TFT LCD 480 x 360 resolution 65,000 color display is one of the most beautifully crisp displays available on a smart phone.

Unlike many other phones, consumers have the ability to adjust backlighting, and change the font size and type on their display. Additionally, there is an accelerometer tightly integrated into this unit. This device changes the display from portrait to landscape, and landscape to portrait, depending on the position in which the phone is being held.

There is no physical keyboard, on this phone, as it is a full touch screen phone. The keyboards are accessed through the display. If you are in portrait mode, you will have access to the SureType board, and if you are in landscape mode, you will use the QWERTY board.

They keyboards have to fit within the diameter of the screen. Even though the LCD display is a good size, it is not necessarily adequate for a keyboard. Having said this, the keyboards are a bit difficult to use, especially if you have bigger hands.

The phone itself is about the same size as other smart phones on the market, measuring around 4.43 x 2.45 x 0.55 inches, and weighing 5.5 ounces. The overall design provides a sturdy frame and easy to grip edges.

Performance, on the Storm, is a bit disappointing. There is some severe lag time with application use, internet browsing, instant message, and just overall functionality. Firmware updates have boosted performance just a bit, but not quite enough. On the other hand, battery performance is above par. On average, you will have about six hours of talk time and 15 days on standby time.

Looking at the big picture, the BlackBerry Storm is a functional phone. Its features and what it offers are a little above standard. If you can put aside slight performance glitches, this just might be the right smart phone for you.

By Grant Dougan

For a variety of reasons, you might find that you need delve into a person's past. Maybe you've just started going out with someone, and you need to know their past. Or you might need to check into someone that you're interviewing for a job. Whatever the reason, it's simple to do an online background check.

It used to be that the only way to investigate someone's past was to hire an investigator to drum up hidden information. Not only was this a time consuming and pricey endeavor, it wasn't always terribly reliable either.

The good news is that the process has gotten much easier. Thanks in large part to the web, it's quick and easy to get information on just about anyone as long as you have a working Internet connection.

There are companies that specialize in maintaining an enormous database containing background information on just about anyone. To access this information, you just run a simple database search and see what kind of information is available.

There are a number of advantages to this type of search. The main advantage is the scope of information that you can receive. This includes residential addresses, work history, marriage and domestic court records, civil and financial court records, and criminal court records too. The amount of available information is astounding.

Of course, these companies aren't free. But don't worry, the service isn't terribly expensive. If you use it often, you can also pay a one-time membership fee for unlimited access to background check information.

Of course, you can always start by trying to obtain free information with a simple web browser. Just go to Google, and enter the person's name in quotes, for example "Jane Doe". If you happen to know where he or she lives, include that information too ("Jane Doe" Miami). Then simply click the search button, and see if you get any hits.

In reality, chances are pretty slim that you'll actually find relevant information. It can't hurt to try, though. The only way any information will be available is if something is published online about the person, in which case Google will find it for you.

You'll probably find that your best bet is an online background check. This will allow you to get the low-down on a person's history. You'll have your results almost instantaneously. This type of search is a highly convenient tool to have at your disposal.

Intimate Integration with any Car - ClarionMiND MID

By Matt Ryan

Much new advancement is being made in the world of mobility and entertainment - Clarions MiND MID is one of the most recent additions in this new world. This new device brings a completely new meaning to mobile navigation devices with features that allow for constant connection. Connecting with your car, and utilizing GPS functionality, is now a breeze.

Clarion specializes in car audio and navigation systems. Because of their expertise, they were able to add some additional bonuses, to the MiND, that many other GPS systems do not have. One of these bonuses is the way the navigational unit interacts with your car via its docking station.

Any functional piece of technology must have a good engine. The MiND has Intel's Atom CPU, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0, together with a GPS receiver, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of flash-based storage.

The MiND would not be a proper navigational unit with its 4.8-inch touch screen display, with a resolution of 800 x 480. This screen allows for visible navigation of roads, even while you're driving. Additionally, viewing videos and web pages are crisp as well.

Both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies are tightly integrated into the MiND. This technology gives you the ability to connect to the internet from home, the office, or other hot spot locations. Bluetooth can be used - in conjunction with cell phones - for internet connection. The current model of the MiND does not have "always-on" connection; however, later models will include the integration of either 3G or WiMAX.

Linux operating systems are not the most user-friendly; however, they do provide for a stable, flexible foundation. Clarion used this Linux, as an operating system, for this reason. It provides consumers with good performance along with a solid backend. Many applications are available, out-of-the-box. Applications like Google Maps, Google Earth, YouTube viewer, email clients, and document and media viewers. These applications make your experience real.

Battery life, on many mobile devices, has increased dramatically over the years. However, Clarion did not put much effort into MiNDs' battery. The average life span, on its battery, is anywhere from 90 minutes up to 2 hours. MiNDs' battery life is based on what applications are running and how the settings have been set. Regardless, in comparison with other battery life spans, this definitely needs to be improved.

As with any other GPS system, there are many points-of-interests automatically available to you. Consumers can find additional POIs online and download them to their devices. This unit integrates closely with your car, like no other system has done. Docking the MiND, with the proper accessories, provides you with turn-by-turn directions, in addition to a realistic experience that no other mobile navigational device can provide.

Clarions MiND is selling for around $649.99. This price is for the models that offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only. There has not yet been a price announced for the models that will have 3G or WiMAX technologies.

Clarion is looking to provide consumers with an "always-on" experience. While they have not yet reached this goal, they are close. They have managed to provide consumers with loads of applications in a unique device - a device that intimately integrates with your vehicle, giving you a GPS experience like never before.
