Las Mejores Biografias de Los Artistas Visuales Mas Destacados
Las biografías de artistas visuales es un tema popular en el mundo del cine. Los productores de películas siempre estuvieron fascinados por las biografías de artistas visuales, especialmente si incluye locura, adicción a las drogas u otros temas duros. De hecho, les da una oportunidad de mostrar obras de arte restauradas u originales en la pantalla grande.
Aquí, puedes leer a cerca de algunos de las más interesantes películas a cerca de la vida de artistas visuales.
1)"Lust for Life", dirigida por Vicente Minnelli en 1952:
La biografía de Vincent Van Gogh ha ganado varias adaptaciones cinematográficas. Esta en especial es interpretada por Kira Douglas como Vincent la cual la ha hecho muy notable. La película esta basada en un libro (best selling) por Irving Stone, quien también escribió "La Agonía y el Éxtasis" a cerca de Michel Angelo, la cual también fue convertida en película. Si disfrutas de las obras de Van Gogh, disfrutaras de "Lust for Life", que presenta casi 200 pinturas originales del Van Gogh. SI eres familiar con Kirk Douglas, verlo como este torturado pintor es un poco extraño. Otra película recomendable sobre Van Gogh es Robert Altmans Vincent y Theo de 1990.
2) Sobreviviendo Picasso, dirigida por James Ivory en 1996:
Como Van Gogh, la imagen de Pablo Picasso lo convirtió en una figura icónica fuera del círculo artístico. Mientras que Van Gogh simboliza la propia destrucción, maniaco depresivo el cual su éxito apareció luego de su muerte, Picasso representa lo misantropito y mujeriego del artista. Las relaciones de Picasso con mujeres es el enfoque de esta película. La historia es contada desde los ojos de la ayudanta de Picasso Francoise Gilot y caracteriza solo reproducciones de las obras del artista. El talentoso Anthony Hopkins interpreta a Picasso teniendo un parecido al artista muy increíble. Esta película logra crear un retrato tan cruel, egocéntrico y genio como el verdadero.
3) Chica con el Aro de Perla, dirigida por Meter Webber en 2003:
Comparado a Van Gogh y Picasso, la biografía de Vermeers es menos conocida y menos controversial. Por eso, esta película es mucho más restringida y delicada que las anteriores. La película se focaliza en un corto periodo de la vida de Verneers en el que pintaba el retrato de su ama de casa de baja clase. A pesar de que la película no evita convenciones cinematográficas extra dramatizando el proceso de su pintura, vale la pena mirar la película por su diseño artístico que logra evocar la percepción de color y luz del pintor.
4) Basquiat, dirigida por Julian Schnabel en 1996:
La critica mas común en contra de películas que tratan de artes visuales es la manera en que expresan el proceso de las creaciones. Por eso, había grandes expectaciones de Basquiat, que fue dirigida por el celebre pintor Julian Schnabel. Este logro expresar bien la subida y caída de Michelle Basquiat. De todas formas, la principal razón para mirar esta película es David Bowe quien interpreta a Andy Warhol.
5) Frida, dirigida por Julie Taymor en 2002:
Como la mayoría de los artistas que tuvieron su biografía adaptada al cine, Frida Kahlo tuvo una bastante inusual, que incluye accidente de ómnibus, matrimonio problemático, y un romance con Leon Trotsky. Como Van Gogh, Picasso y Jackson Polloch, Frida Kahlo era un icono mucho antes de la creación de su película, pero los 123 minutos de ella ayudaron a esforzar su posición como idola feminista y la pintora más famosa del siglo 20. Este film intenta integrar a Frida con sus pinturas y el resultado es muy colorido y agradable. Muy recomendable.

Desktop Themes: One Way To Brighten Your Workspace
I don't know if you have noticed the new trend lately of customization mania. I say mania because it seems like you can make anything that you own your very own by customizing it with a little personal flair. The place that I have noticed the most customizing frenzy at the personal/office computing market. Themes galore including desktop themes, radio station themes, search themes, etc. "Skins" or the internet browsers version of the theme is another great example of this trend.
So what is behind this? And what kinds of options are we talking about that are offered to the computer users. Well lets take desktop themes as our example. You can go on the internet and purchase downloads for the cost of typical computer game let's say. You actually purchase a long list of menus of different options that you can go through and choose according to your preferences. These options affect things like the general look of the wall paper on the desktop. Or the appearance of the icons, windows, tool buttons, mouse cursor, lettering, menu forms, and on and on. It can also assign sounds that you like to different actions performed such as minimizing windows, to clicking on menus, or deleting, saving, etc.
So you might be wondering why they are called themes? And the answer to that question is that each of the different choices you have are grouped into larger groups called themes. Back to our example of desktop themes, say you chose a space theme. You may then for your wallpaper get to choose between pictures of a supernova, mars, Saturn, or the moon. You may also choose that you want to have an animated part of the wallpaper like Saturn spinning, or an astronaut walking on the moon. You then have the choice of sounds for different common operations which could be a rocket sound or a sound from a popular space show like star trek. You get the picture.
Why are these themes so popular? Well this is America isn't it and individualism is glorified right? So you wouldn't be being true to yourself if you and your coworkers didn't all have your own personalized desktop themes would you? On a more serious note, they add some flair which might say be easier on the eyes, or more interesting to stare at for your whole work day. They also fit into the gadget genre and therefore are popular just because people are curious and want to play. So what are you waiting for? Start making your workspace a little more "you". You can easily find what you are looking for and I am talking about on the internet for download. Just google for desktop themes, and off you go.

IT Service Agreements: Creating the Package
Think about how you're going to package your IT service agreements. For example, are you going to make them fixed- price, retainer-based or based on pre-paid blocks of time?
IT service agreements that are fixed priced are tricky because you have to forecast what people need and want. Most small business computer consultants don't have the skill to accurately predict these needs, because these kinds of predictions are usually better left to actuaries.
Factors To Consider When Packaging Your IT Service Agreement
Think about how you're going to package your service agreement program. These are real important things that you need to think about BEFORE you're out on the sales call and present this IT service agreement offering to your customers and clients.
What tangible benefits you can offer?
What can you provide that's going to make signing that service agreement beyond compelling?
What is going to make it a no-brainer that your customers will want to sign service agreements?
You want to have some killer benefits in there.
What Kind of Benefits Should You Offer?
One of them typically has to do with response time, whether it's response time for on-site service, response time by phone, or response time for remote support.
Another benefit is proactive maintenance, whether it's remote and VPNing in, or dialing in to check their logs from time to time.
Giving an hourly discount is a huge benefit that usually gets most customers off the fence with signing IT service agreements.
Waiving premiums for after-hour service or emergency service can be another huge issue that can get people over the fence.

Design the Myspace page with new colors
A Myspace page should have all features and attractions to make it the most visited in the Internet. The page is visited depending on the profile of the user. It could include profiles of music lovers, book readers, science fiction lovers, nature lovers, wildlife fans, rock music fans and group members. The Internet traffic to the site is generated by the profile of the visitors. It could also include online visitors and communities in search of social networking friends and people and those curiously looking for many more interesting features on the Internet.
One of the best ways of accessing people and sites on the Internet is to look for the search engines on the Internet. Popular search engines such as Yahoo! and Google drive a lot of Internet traffic for the users. Therefore, the Myspace page should have better features and profiles that can drive more people to the site. The most preferred route to attract more visitors to the site is to have an attractive background to the Myspace web page. The attractive backgrounds can be designed by the user of Myspace on their own by employing the desktop tools. However, these will be basic backgrounds and cannot be upgraded to a higher level. Besides, they cannot be changed whenever desired. Once the design of the background is frozen, altering will take time. However, the updates will be minimal and rich features cannot be added to the background. Eventually the traffic to the site could be less than the desired level. The best way to ensure that the background is done in a professional manner is to employ the tools available on the Internet.
Professional backgrounds and themes of the Myspace page are available on the Internet. Use the popular search engines such as Google to seek out the backgrounds. Type the words Myspace backgrounds in the space provided for search. It will throw up a number of pages that will have links to the backgrounds and themes of the Myspace page. There are two categories of links. The first category of links provides connectivity to backgrounds that is available for free. The second category of links provides connectivity to backgrounds that is licensed. They can be accessed against payment of certain fee. The background comes in various shapes and colors that can be chosen by the user. The links throw up a number of background templates that have multiple options. They user can customize the colors to make the background suitable to their needs. The themes can also be designed. The backgrounds have preset templates that can be altered according to the needs of the user. The backgrounds have various themes that augur well with the preferences of the user.
If you do not like any images to become the background, then go in for plain standardized backgrounds. They are available in multitude of colors. If you want the background to be sober, then choose light colors such as pink and pale yellow. You can also mix and match the colors before bringing them on to the background of the account.

IT Support: Where Do Larger Small and Medium Sized Businesses Get It?
Big small businesses get their IT support, from an internal IT person, or a small IT department. Remember, a big/small business typically has 50 to 100 PCs doing anywhere from 5 million to 20 million dollars in U.S. annual revenue.
IT Support Sources for Big/Small Businesses
That's also where you start to see a full-fledged IT manager or director providing IT support. You might even see a small IT department.
In a lot of cases, you may see slightly bigger versions of the same types of people that show up in sweet spots and small businesses. But you will find fewer soloists and more small firms. You’ll also start to find more deeply niched specialists,
How To Be Successful in Big/Small Businesses
If you want to be successful in big/small businesses and larger, you can’t be the generalist. You need to pick a few things and get really, really deep into them.
The Profile of Medium Sized Businesses
If you get into medium sized businesses with more than 100 PCs, doing more than 20 million dollars in U.S. annual revenue, you’re going to see more IT departments. You're going to have even bigger versions of those same IT sources you saw with the sweet spot businesses.
Where Medium Sized Businesses Get Their IT Support
You'll also see even deeper specialists, and, and in those cases, both the big/small businesses and medium sized businesses, and the range in which you can go opens up quite a bit more, because they are paying for a deeply niched specialty.

IT Service Contracts: Practice Makes Perfect
What happens after you have your IT service contracts? Are you scared that your customers are going to stump you or you won’t be able to provide the response time you promised?
IT Service Contracts: Confidence Comes with Experience
Just start offering and selling your services. Go slowly until you build up that confidence level. Confidence is not going to come through training; it’s not going to come from reading a report or preparing a very well-thought-out template. It’s going to come from actually starting to sell these IT service contracts and going out and servicing them.
Start with relatively small accounts and then ease into larger accounts. That doesn’t mean you should totally dismiss the idea of taking on a much bigger one if it falls in your lap, but just be aware that the ideal way to do this is to start with accounts that are on the small side of being able to afford that kind of service.
IT Service Contracts Require Advance Preparation
Without managing the sales call process and taking them from sales call to IT audit, you’re not going to get to the service contract. You need to have something concrete to propose and take them in that direction.
Otherwise you’re just going to be in reactive fire extinguisher mode, where they’ll call you when there’s a problem but there’s no recurring long-term relationship. The maintenance contract is what binds the two of you together like a marriage.
IT Service Contracts Will Make Your Business Profitable
It’s very difficult to make a go of IT services when you’re just waiting for the phone to ring or you’re just doing a couple hours here and a couple hours there. It’s a lot easier to find the right kinds of clients that need long-term hand-holding, long-term oversight and long-term assurances an outsourced IT department provides. They know you are going to take care of long-term projects and upgrades; be the intermediary with the phone companies and ISPs and web hosts and specialty application developers; and deal with anything and everything that relates to IT.
Then they also, of course, want the peace of mind that you’re going to be there to bail them out of an emergency. The big thing that really holds this all together is your IT service contracts.
The Bottom Line about IT Service Contracts
Without the IT service contracts, you will be keeping your fingers crossed that customers will kep calling and that you’re going to have that long-term relationship. The service agreement is what virtually guarantees that long-term relationship. That’s just why IT service contracts are so vitally important.

Dell Cuts Back On Mail-In Rebates.
As of last week, Dell announced that it will cut back on mail-in rebates and make sale prices more accessible to customers after complaints that the procedure for receiving the sale price was too complicated.
Analysts believe this will help boost Dell’s customer relations but not necessarily its sales. Dell, the world’s largest personal computer maker said that product prices will stay the same.
Dell’s sales have been down in recent quarters with tougher competition from their number one competitor Hewlett-Packard. Dell which sells directly to customers through the internet and via phone has had complaints of their poor after-sale performance. In the early 90’s Dell’s percentage growth was much higher and analysts wonder if Dell can once again reach these numbers.
An analyst with Cross Research says, "Dell is facing a lot of challenges. HP is just reinvigorated, which is one of their biggest problems. Their competitor is back."
Dell shares ended down 68 cents, or 3 percent, at $21.70, more than the Merrill Lynch Tech 100 index's (^MLO - news) 1.6 percent fall.
Dell anticipated a reduction of approximately 70 percent per product line in the number of promotions for U.S. consumers and small businesses. Promotions connected to a single product line would decline by 80 percent.
Reductions will take affect in the next 12 to 18 months, starting with the Inspiron notebook computers and Dell monitors.
Moors and Cabot analyst Cindy Shaw said, “People hate rebates” and she believes this is a positive move for Dell.
Some analysts thought Dell would introduce price cuts to contend with competitors Hewlett-Packard and Acer Inc. They continue to diminish Dell’s long-established price advantage thanks to cheaper components and more competent manufacturing.
In May, Dell publicized its plans to lower prices and is spending $100 million to improve customer service by hiring over 2,000 sales and support staff.
Dell’s senior vice president of home and small business groups, Ro Parra said the cutback in promotions will not affect the “net price” that customers pay but make the process of buying a computer easier.
Parra commented to reporters that customers don’t like rebates and only about 80 percent redeem them. He also said "They are problematic, and our intent is to reduce them over time."
Dell as well as other retailers like Best Buy Co are cutting back mail-in rebates. They are not much of an incentive to customers because they must fill out forms, send product codes and then wait several months to receive a check.
Dell’s new focus on existing promotions will be paperless rebates which make analysts wonder if this will motivate consumers to take advantage of the offers.
Research analyst Cross said "My biggest question is, what the financial impact of this is? If you don't get a lot of hits on mail-in rebates, and now you're just going to go to instant rebates or price cuts, then that hits everyone."

IT Audits: Your Existing Customers
Look among your existing customers to determine who are good candidates for IT audits. You can do this based on the number of PCs they have. Generally, businesses that have more than five systems are really good possibilities for IT audits.
You will be checking around for UPSs and data line protection, real surge protectors, the right number of antivirus software licenses, good, active, valid subscription for the licenses to keep their antivirus and firewall up to date. You'll also want to determine whether everything is updated, what they’re doing with routers, firewalls, network adjust translations, and other items that keep them protected.
Your Customers May Need Some Motivation
To generate demand for IT Audits:
o Talk to your customers when they’re in the store
o Do an outbound telemarketing campaign
o Include a flyer with your invoices.
o Do a solo mailing, either a letter or a postcard or a brochure
Jump on the current events. If there are viruses, power outages, etc., in the news, piggyback on those to get your message across. Create a sense of urgency in the offer of IT audits.
Make your IT audits at least have the perception of being discounted and put some kind of deadline on it. If you say it’s regularly $350, but now through a certain date it is discounted to $199 and due to demand, is limited to only the first 25 customers.
The Bottom Line about IT Audits
The urgency and the scarcity in terms of marketing will make a world of difference.

IT Consulting in Micro Small Businesses
Small business is a hot market for IT consulting. There are different sizes of small businesses and they all have different IT consulting needs. In this article you'll learn some items you should be familiar with in order to provide IT consulting to these businesses.
Micro Small Businesses Defined
Micro small businesses are companies that have anywhere from 1-10 computers; windows based in most cases. Usually these companies employ 1-10 people. Revenue (in U.S. dollars) will typically be anywhere from $100,000 up to about a million or so.
The big differentiator in micro small businesses from others, as far as IT consulting is concerned, is that they have no dedicated server yet. They may be running a peer to peer system and that’s the major reason they are bringing you in there.
Don't have a “crisis of confidence”. Many people, when first entering IT consulting are not sure if their skills are strong enough. But most people will find that they are at least capable of working with at least micro small businesses as a starting point.
Micro Small Business: What Hardware You Need for IT Consulting
You need to know about basic desktop PC support, notebooks, PDAs like palm based PDAs and windows cd based PDAs, printers, how to set up servers and dial up modems, DSL, cable modems a little bit about how to set up surge protection, data line protection, and entry level battery back up units.
Software Requirements for Micro Business IT Consulting

De-fragmenting your Hard Drive for Greater Performance
De-fragmenting your hard drive is an often neglected part of computer maintenance. If you ask most people how to de-fragment a hard drive they won’t know what you’re talking about.
De-fragmenting your hard drive is very important if you want your computer performance not to suffer as you add more and more data to your hard drive. Windows has a handy feature that easy let’s you evaluate your hard drive as to whether it needs to be de-fragmented or not, and de-fragment your hard drive as needed.
Although the interface between different versions of windows changes they all have the same basic premise. You simply need to go to the start menu, accessories, system tools then disk defragmenter. Once in the interface you can choose to analyze the hard drives connected to your computer. The analysis will tell you whether you need to de-fragment your hard drives or not. If you do you simply need to select the hard drive from the list and hit de-fragment.
Disk de-fragmenting does one important task. It moves all the files that are scattered across your hard drive to one chunk of the hard drive making it easier to read and write from, therefore increasing the performance of your computer. Over time most computers scatter data across the whole length of the hard drive making accessing this data more time consuming.
Depending on the size of the hard drive your de-fragmenting this usually takes a long time. As a simple guide an 80gb hard drive will take about an hour. This also depends on the speed of your processor and the amount of RAM you have. De-fragmenting your hard drive will take up nearly all of the resources of your computer so you won’t be able to perform any operations while it is running.
The solution to this would be to run the de-fragmentation at a time when you are not using the computer.

Is The Computer Repair Business Dead?
Computer repairs are being done by computer novices at a higher rate than ever before. More and more people do their own computer repairs. Whether it is installing a hard drive or installing an operating system. Is the computer repair business dead?
The computer industry is evolving. It is always changing. In fact, if there is one thing that is sure in the computer repair industry it's that change is going to happen. Companies like Microsoft have gone out of their way to make their products as easy to use as possible. Where does that leave the computer repair business? What can you do to stay in business and be competitive?
Offer outstanding customer service. Look for different ways to package your services. Take the time to research your competition. What could you offer that no one else is offering? One area that matters to your customer is time. Are you in a position to guarantee fast computer repairs? Maybe a same day repair service? Think about how you can take care of your customer while they wait. You could create a comfortable waiting area for them with good reading material, free coffee, computers with internet access or something similar. Don't be afraid to get creative. Think outside the box.
Keep your prices reasonable without under or overcharging. When pricing your services, it is generally a good idea to go with the industry average for your area. If you offer something unusual like same day repairs, you could charge more money. On the other hand, if you charge the same as everyone else but get the computer repair done quickly, this can easily result in an increase in business.
Don't overcharge for computer parts. Most customers are price savvy. If you are charging a premium for the computer parts you install over what other places are charging, you will most likely find your customer base dwindling. Here again, the industry average is your friend. Find out what your competitors are charging for general computer parts and look to stick around that. Getting known as the most expensive place in town won't exactly help business.
Whatever you do, treat your customer with respect and you'll have more business than you can handle. Is the computer repair business dead? I don't think so. It's simply evolving.

Dedicated Server: Essential Or Simply An Added Benefit?
First lets talk about what a dedicated server is. A dedicated server is kind of what it sounds like. It is a server that is completely owned by its user and therefore avoids all of the usage and management hassles of a shared server. Often the management services are provided by the hosting company that “leases” these servers for an extra fee. They can be of all different sizes with anywhere from one to several different remote users being on the server at the same time.
The connectivity can be from one upstream link to several high quality links upstream depending on the quality of the dedicated server. Generally it is wise to pay more because you get the back up of several links in the event that one goes down and you are also able to have better connections often with other sites and other computers as you have several routes available to you with the different upstream links.
Benefits of the dedicated beyond the fact that you don’t have to share your space with anyone else are many. For one thing it is in a remote location. This allows you to connect and do your work from any other computer in the world that has connectivity to the internet. You also do this work with the benefit of an up-to-date processor and large memory capacity that does not depend on what you have available to you wherever you are. This allows you to do high quality and powerful work even from less than adequate computers that may be at your disposal depending on where you are. It basically provides you with another computer but for cheaper than it would be to invest in a new computer physically.
Another huge benefit that you get with a dedicated server is the company’s management service. You basically have a team of expert computer technicians watching your server making sure that it is secure and running smoothly. You also have them at your disposal when something is not working right or you are not sure what you are doing wrong. They generally are able to troubleshoot quickly and this service is included in the fee for the server itself.
So should you have a dedicated server? Well that depends on what your computing needs are. Generally the average computer user does not need the extra power and space and the larger companies have their own servers physically on location with their own staff managing them. So that leaves the small business owner who doesn’t want the overhead of staff and physical servers on location but need the extra power and space that a dedicated server will provide them. Typically these people enjoy the remote connectivity that these server’s provide so they can keep track of their work no matter where they are.

iPods – The King Of MP3’s
Do you remember the days when if you wanted to listen to music, you had to plug in your stereo and hope that the power didn’t go out? Those days are long gone and there are now tons of devices that make it easy to take your music with you. I’m sure that some people still prefer their portable CD players, but almost everyone nowadays either already owns or has their eye on those spanking new mp3 players that are all the rage.
Mp3 players are much more lightweight than CD players, because they don’t require CDs. In fact, most of the top mp3 players allow you to download music directly to your mp3 players’ hard drive. This has drastically reduced the space requirements and today’s mp3 players can easily fit into a shirt or pants pocket. While many brands have their own versions of mp3 players, by far the most popular is undoubtedly the Apple iPod. Here’s why the iPod is so much ahead.
Mp3 players can be put into two categories; those which use flash memory and those which have a hard drive. The iPod Nano boasts an amazing 2GB of storage space, which translates to over 500 songs. The accompanying software is upgradeable so you don’t need to change mp3 players to keep up. You can fine tune the sound quality by using a number of equalizer presets and the device is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems.
You really see the iPod’s popularity though when you consider hard drive mp3 players. These typically have a much higher storage capacity than flash memory mp3 players and the iPod is no exception. Although much of the features are the same as its flash memory counterparts, iPod hard drive mp3 players top the scale with a whopping 30 GB of storage and the ability to recognize and play video files as well.
The amount of space offered, and the accompanying features, have put Apple’s mp3 players at the top of many consumers’ wish lists and the iPod continues to hold off challengers. High sales of Ipods have led to a jump in the associated market of iPod accessories. Think of a possible accessory, and it’s probable been made. Today’s iPod accessories comprise the typical headphones and rechargeable adapters, but there is some more creative fare. These iPod accessories include docking stations, speakers and LCD displays. Even the garment industry has jumped on the bandwagon and created iPod accessories in the form of special pockets for your iPod.

Ink Cartridges
Ink was invented by the Chinese over 5000 years ago, and was used to write on paper. Ever since, ink has been used extensively in all cultures to depict ideas, thoughts and in education. Today, everyone from school children to corporate executives use ink. However, the way ink is used differs greatly the past. On modern-day fountain pens, the ink is stored in a small container within the pen, known as a cartridge. Ink cartridges are not restricted to fountain pens. Printers have become common in most offices and institutions. These devices also use of an ink cartridge to get the printing job done.
Ink cartridges use one of two types of inks. The dye-based inks offer a wide variety of colors but take time to dry. Moreover, these inks may fade over a period of time and are not water resistant. Pigmented inks are less susceptible to being washed away and are fade resistant and quick drying. Nowadays, the term ink cartridge is primarily used to signify those used in the printers. These cartridges also come in various varieties, from dot matrix and inkjet cartridges to those used in laser printers.
Ink cartridges can be broadly classified into 3 categories. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ink cartridges are made by the manufacturer of the printer and are the most reliable. The downside to these cartridges is the price, as they tend to be very expensive. Compatible ink cartridges are those that are manufactured by a company other than the original manufacturer. They are new, but somewhat cheaper because of the lack of a brand name. Remanufactured ink cartridges are the cheapest option available. These are refilled cartridges and while they can be reliable at times, they also have a tendency to leak after a certain amount of usage.
The prices of ink cartridges vary greatly, depending on the brand and type of printer. Care should be taken to pick the correct cartridge, as a wrong choice may damage the printer.

I'm Happy To Have A Brand New 17 Inch Notebook Computer
Not to long ago I got a 17 inch notebook, and I must say that I'm quite impressed with its performance and quality. Technology has really improved and therefore this notebook is so much better than the old IBM Thinkpad that I had many years ago.
In those days, laptop computers were bulky and kind of big, the screen resolution was terrible, they were even more expensive than now, and the batteries had very low life expectancy. Thankfully my new Dell 17 inch notebook is everything that my old laptop was not. It is sleek, low-profile, with many hours of battery life, and a delightful high-resolution lcd screen.
I waited very long before I finally purchased my new 17 inch notebook. Don't you find the process of buying a new computer agonizing?
The problem I think we all experience is that no matter how long you wait, the very next month after you buy whatever system you have chosen to purchase, there is always something cheaper and better at a lower price and with a better warranty. It is enough to drive you completely nuts.
Nevertheless, I knew that the convenience of a new laptop computer was worth it, and eventually I broke down and bought my new 17 inch notebook. And I am sure glad that I did. There is nothing that beats a laptop computer.
The best thing about my 17 inch notebook is how easy it makes work on the go. With the prevalence of wifi coffee houses, I can work from my 17 inch notebook from all about town.
I do a considerable amount of freelancing, so the luxury of being able to do all my work on the go, when I want, and from where I want, makes my life almost feel like a permanent vacation. And when I am done with my 17 inch notebook, I slip it into my laptop computer sleeve, and can carry it around me anywhere.
It is no burden at all, because of its light weight, and though I occasionally worry about having it stolen, or accidentally damaged, so far no harm has come to my computer. My sturdy 17 inch notebook has really revolutionized my life.
Of course, for many people, getting a new 17 inch notebook computer like I have done might be a bad idea. If you are not good at keeping track of your stuff, it is a definite no. You could easily lose your 17 inch notebook computer, along with all of your work and data, due to one careless mistake.

Dealing with Technical Support - 10 Useful Tips
Most people who work in an office environment, buy computer products, or have a computer at home have had the “fun” experience of dealing with technical support. It’s not always the easiest, or most pleasant, experience but hopefully this article will help you make the best of the situation the next time you call. Below you will find a list of things to keep in mind the next time your computer breaks down.
1.Stay calm – Don’t yell at the support person on the other end of the phone. He is there only to help and the more angry you are the less help you are going to get.
2.Get to the point – Ask your question or explain your situation right away. Don't beat around the bush.
3.Don’t be arrogant – You are calling technical support because you need help. Don’t try and be a smart guy.
4.Call for yourself – Don’t call for a friend, relative, or coworker. It’s very difficult, for the person trying to help you, when you are repeating information that you got from someone else.
5.Stay at the computer – Make sure you are at the computer with the problem when you call. It’s hard for someone to help you through a problem if don’t have access to the computer.
6.Record the error – If you are calling about an error you saw, make sure you write it down. It’s hard for someone to help you if all you can say is “There was a box on my screen that had writing in it”.
7.Find out how many people are affected – The priority of your call can be greatly influenced by the amount of people it is affecting. If the problem is affecting a number of people it will probably be escalated to a higher level.
8.Be patient – By default, technical support usually has certain questions they are required to ask. These are not meant to make you angry, they help in the process of solving your problem.
9.Know what kind of support is offered – Ask around the office before calling to see what kind of support is offered. Not all technical support centers offer “How to” help. If your support group does not offer this type of support you may have to get a coworker to help.
10.*The Golden Rule*: Technical support is trying to help - The reason you called, in the first place, is because you needed help with something. Try not to make it difficult for the person on the other end to help you.
These tips aren’t just some random bunch of words I have put together. I am one of the people you get on the phone when you call technical support. I have been working in a Help Desk environment for almost two years and have heard almost every excuse, lie, and problem you can imagine. For me, it makes things much easier if the caller follows these simple rules. Technical support is made up of people too. Try and treat them as you would want to be treated and I guarantee your next experience will be much better.

How To Save Gas Cost By Running Your Car or Truck On Water!
How To Save Gas Cost By Running Your Car or Truck On Water
http://www.burn-water.net
Article Summary: This article looks at the claims of running your car on 100 water driven technology, one ends up spending even more than using the usual fuel for powering vehicles.
So, the method I recommend for powering your car with water that will save you cost of fuel is to make your own low-cost hybrid car that will run on water and gas, thereby saving you huge costs you would have spent using only gas.
In other words - Hydrogen-On-Demand system where you run your car on Hydrogen WHEN you need it!
Note that I am not saying you should build a car from scratch that will run on water. Not at all. This instead is about constructing simple devices that will enable your car to run on water as well as gas. You don't have to alter your car make-up or get a new car. The technology can work with almost any car or truck.
In simple words, this technology involves putting together home-made devices that use a little electricity out of your car's battery to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also known as Hydrogen*Oxygen™ or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and by so doing provides TONS of energy.
And the most remarkable beauty is that this pound for pound HHO gas is even much more potent than gasoline. In fact 3 times more potent than gasoline.
By using such cars you effectively save money that would have been spent on fuel for your car. It is estimated that this could save you as much as $897.40 per year. If you are two, three or four drivers in the family, this yearly savings increases dramatically. And what if you have a fleet of 50 drivers in your company? Then your yearly savings will multiply to $44,870.
First things first... this isn't about running your car on 100 water but I don't recommend them because they are not only complicated but seriously expensive and completely unpredictable.

Data-Recovery: What You Need
Data recovery is something we hope that we will never need. Whether you simply make the mistake of deleting important software or you lose it all in a computer crash, that valuable asset of information may seem like it is lost forever. But, if you have complete and quality data-recovery software on your computer or through your system, you can be confident that it has a backup and it is there even though these things will happen to you. This can be so important when it comes to safeguarding your business or your personal information.
What people do not realize is that there are a number of ways that things can go wrong on their computers. Whether you are responsible for the computers of a large corporation, a small business or even just your own personal computer, having a way to restore information when things go wrong is quite important. Here are some things that could happen to you, well, anytime, even right now. Your computer could be running slowly or be loaded with powerful spyware that can destroy files, transmit personal data or, even worse, cause the computer to crash. All of a sudden, it’s gone. Or, you could be working along nicely without a care in the world and bam! A power surge, an electric storm or something else electrical happens and it’s all gone.
There are many more ways in which you can lose all of the personal data that is stored on your computer. You don’t even have to have the programs running to lose it. Nevertheless, many people mistakenly believe this will not happen to them and therefore do not do anything to prevent this total loss. Data recovery is necessary for this not to happen. The strange thing is, it takes only minutes to install and use and it virtually and it takes care of itself. It is not overly costly either. So, why don’t more people use data recovery? They just don’t realize its importance. And that is one mistake we don’t want to make. Data recovery is a need all computer users have.

How to Protest the Online Gambling Ban
Protesting the government is not a cast of protesting a company because you do not like a product, this is a case of you trying to change the mind of the government and this can be hard to do, but it can be done.
Before you can even have a chance at holding a successful protest the first thing you should do is to circulate an online petition, this will give you an idea of how many people support your cause and gives you a list of names with phone numbers that you can call to get people to come to your protest.
The next step is to go online and find other groups protesting the new internet gambling act, and see if that group would be willing to join your protest, the more people protesting the online gambling ban the better the chances are of getting the law reversed.
After this you should start a letter writing campaign not only to your local congressmen but to all the Congressmen and see where they stand. Some of them will not be in support of the online gambling ban and will be willing to not only sign your petition but will be hey may be even willing to speak at your protest.
The next step is to plane your protest. The timing of your protest is important if you choose to protest at the Whitehouse you do not want to do it when the president is not there or if you choose to make your stand at congress do not do it at a time they are on a brake, this can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your protest.
Make sure to have a well written press release to the press at least 2 days before the protest to ensure that you will get press coverage. The more people who hear about your protest the more names you can get on your petition.
The point of a petition is to basically let someone know that people are not happy with what they are doing, and if enough people protest the government you can get them to change their decision. This is especially true with a politician. They know thee job depends on votes and if they are going to gain enough votes to secure their job they will do it even if they truly do not agree with it.
You must apply for a permit to protest at least 30 days in advance, or if there are delays you may not have a permit on the day you have told your protesters to show up, to truly insure you have time, apply for the permits at least 60 days in advance.
When applying for the permits you should be able to find out about the rules for setting up any sound equipment you will need so you can make the arrangements for them.
The only thing left to do for your online gambling ban protest is to wait for the big day.

Database A Boon For It
The advent of the database is perhaps the most valuable thing that has come out of the computer age. The power of information brought to us in every increasing speeds and volumes has increased our ability to make money like never before. Information for the businessman is everything and so the database provides him more power to work with his everything.
Database technology is simply the storage of material and information in such a way as to increase the speed of retrieval on demand and to compare and make useful inferences on a large volume of data. Computers as long as they are equipped with enough memory are capable of housing more information than we can give them and in the space of virtually no space. Gone are the days of libraries that cover acres of land and go up multiple stories to hold all of the volumes of information that they do. Soon libraries will be virtual, contained on a server some where and completely accessible via a personal computer.
In statistics the more data you have the better your information is—that is the less affected by chance in a negative way. The better your information is the easier it is to make decisions about the next step with complete confidence that you will get the desired outcome. The database has allowed huge amounts of information to be compiled, sorted, and analyzed and has given businessmen information that makes them money and lots of it.
Consider a database for the items bought in a store in a year. You can know the date and the time of purchase. You can know the quantity of purchase. If the person pays with a credit card you can know the demographic of the population that that product is popular with, you can know what other items went along with a certain product. You can see the differences in sales strategies and marketing ploys. You can tell the affect of price on a product and location in the store. The list really is endless, and marketing really becomes a science more than a game because consumers are predictable—humans are creatures with similar desires and responses to situations.
The thing that the database can improve now is the speed in which it handles the information. Changing the partitioning of the memory, or the language in which it is stored can have a significant difference in the time of a query. The difference may be in milliseconds or smaller but when you think about how many queries might be useful (millions!) that becomes a significant amount of time and time is money.

How To Recognize And Repair PC Mouse Problems
The Motherboard is the largest component in your PC and the Central Processing Unit is its brain. But when your input devices go on the blink, you're shut down for awhile. When Computer Mice problems come, we don't panic as fast when we cannot access our hard drive.
When you grab your Mouse and either click or roll the buttons and nothing happens,your computing fun stops. Even though the mouse is a little input device, you will wish you understood its every aspect when it dies.
When input device failure occurs,the problem may lie with the computer's hardware,the mouse, the OS or Operating System. Let's take a look at what you should check when mouse failure occurs. If you need help with mouse components, http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com contains photos of every component in the computer.
When the mouse dies,you should be able to perform the same functions with the keyboard. It may be a little closer but you won't be shut down completely.
NO MOUSE MOVEMENT
First... If the mouse has no movement,first look at the mouse connection at the rear of the computer. Be sure it is plugged in completely.
Second..remove the plug and inspect for connectors or pins that may be broken or bent. The connector is color coded with green being that of the mouse.
If your mouse uses the USB or Universal Serial Bus connector,check the connectors for any damage and be sure it is plugged in.
MOUSE STOPPED DURING OPERATION
Should your mouse quit in the middle of computing, save your work immediately. Press the ALT key to access your program and save your work.
Check the connection in the rear to be sure it has not worked itself loose.If the connection is tight, inspect the mouse components for birt.
Remove the retain and trackball inside the mouse. Clean the Ball with a mild solution and be sure all residence is removed.And clean the Ball Cavity with a cotton swab. Replace the ball and secure it with the retainer.
Connect the mouse to the system unit and boot the the computer.Try clicking a program to see if the mouse wotks.If the mouse fails,check the device driver for the mouse.
MOUSE POINTER MISBEHAVING
This problem may be the result of your computer be affected by a virus.Use your Anti Virus software to scan your sysem for viruses.
You can go to http://www.free-av.com to download a free version of anti virus software if you don't have anti virus software installed on your system.
A corrupt device driver can also cause the mouse to misbehave.Check the device driver by opening the Control Panel,and open the System folder.
Select the device driver tab and use the down arrow key to scroll down to the mouse. Expand the mouse to see if the driver is installed.
If you see a yellow icon,the mouse has a problem and you can try to re-install the device driver. First uninstall the mouse from Windows and reboot the PC.
After the system reboots,the operating system will find the mouse and re-install the driver. If you have a wireless or USB mouse, re-installing the special software may be in order.
A misbehaving mouse may occur when you install another device on your system.If this happens, the mouse and new device may be conflicting with each other by using the same address.
Unplug any hardware you installed and uninstall any software recently installed.See if the mouse operates properly.
Use the System Restore utility to set your computer back to a time when the mouse was working as it should.The Registry can be the culprit of the mouse behaving badly.
You can connect your mouse to another computer to verify it is bad.If the mouse works on another system,check the problems mentioned in the PC's operating system.
MAINTAINING YOUR MOUSE
To keep the mouse performing at its very best, you should take the time to clean the components of your mouse.Regularly clean the mouse, both inside and out.
Clean the outside of the mouse with rubbing alcohol. This solution is best since it does not leave any residue.Take the time to clean a small area first, to certain any damage to the plastic will not occur.
The components inside the mouse to be cleaned are the Rollers, as well as the Ball.These two parts are the most important to be kept clean and always take great care in doing so.
Carefully take apart the mouse by turning the retaining ring counter clockwise to unlock it. Remove the Ball and clean it with warm water and not alcohol.
The rollers inside the moise cavity can be cleaned with alcohol by dampening a Q Tip and wiping the rollers gently.
With clean hands,insert the ball back in the mouse and replace the retaining ring. Now enjoy your mouse and should it cause any problems,you're armed with the knowledge of how to diagnose and repair most problems.
When you grab your Mouse and either click or roll the buttons and nothing happens,your computing fun stops. Even though the mouse is a little input device, you will wish you understood its every aspect when it dies.
When input device failure occurs,the problem may lie with the computer's hardware,the mouse, the OS or Operating System. Let's take a look at what you should check when mouse failure occurs. If you need help with mouse components, http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com contains photos of every component in the computer.
When the mouse dies,you should be able to perform the same functions with the keyboard. It may be a little closer but you won't be shut down completely.
NO MOUSE MOVEMENT
First... If the mouse has no movement,first look at the mouse connection at the rear of the computer. Be sure it is plugged in completely.
Second..remove the plug and inspect for connectors or pins that may be broken or bent. The connector is color coded with green being that of the mouse.

How to Meet that Special Someone
Chances are unless you are very lucky you will go thru many different relationships before you find your special someone. Finding your sole mate is like gambling. In poker and blackjack you may have to play dozens of hands until you get a winning hand, and it is the same with relationships.
During your life you will probably meet some people who seem like they may be the one, or that they are close, but still have the feeling that something else is missing. My advice is that if you are not happy, because something seems like it is missing, then it usually is not right.
Before I found my special someone, I was in a relationship for over 10 years, and I thought everything was great, until I started to seriously consider getting married. Then I noticed that we had so little in common and in reality wanted so many different things out of life and one day we both realized there was much about each of us that we both wanted from someone, but it was not us that we wanted.
Then one day I decided I had enough of trying to go to clubs and bars to meet people. I was sick and tired of trying to find someone in the time it takes to finish a drink. It always seemed the ladies I would meet were all wrong for me, or they seemed great after talking to them for 5 minutes but they seemed to have no interest in me.
Then one day I had an idea, it was not an original idea but I decided to use the internet to try to find the right person for me. So I proceeded to make a myspace profile. On this page I tried to put the real me and not the funny guy trying to be charming that was looking for love at the bar.
And as I would at the poker rooms I went all in, I poured my heart and sole into this. I wrote what I wanted and wrote down who I truly think I am and not who I want to be, and I was rewarded by 1 email responding to my site.
It was amazing; the response I got was like a dream. Imagine you are sitting in a Las Vegas casino playing poker. You are down to your last few dollars, you go all in and you wind up being dealt a Royal Flush, and suddenly the sky is bluer, the grass is greener, and all your worries seem to just fade away.
At first things were a little awkward for the both of us. We decided to hold of on actually meeting until we got to know each other first. We spent a month just talking everyday on the internet. You can really open up to someone and show them the real you and not have to worry about rejection on the internet, after all you are just a faceless ghost, and if things don’t work out you could be sitting next to her on the bus one day without ever knowing it.
The key to finding happiness is realizing you are going to bust more then you are going to get blackjack, but you must keep trying, trying to remember you only need to find the real thing once.

How to Improve your Odds in the Casinos
One of the most important things to remember when playing in a land based casino is that the layout of the casino is designed to pull you into the games with the worst player odds. To help pull you further into the casino the casinos will usually use the bells and whistles of slot machines, and video poker games.
This may make you think that the slot machines on the way to the blackjack, poker, roulette and craps tables are the ones to play, but this is usually not the case.
The casinos will place some loose machines in the area leading to these games so that you will hear the bells ad look up and see the flashing light from the winning machines, and when you look you will see the table gamming areas of the casino.
This method puts the thought of wining and table games into your mind together making you think you can win at the table games. The truth is that your chances of going home from the casinos a millionaire is only likely if you walked into the casino as a millionaire.
This does not mean you can not go home with more money in your pockets then when you entered the casino or online casino. It only means that you need to be smarter and not fall for the casinos tricks.
Most people come to casinos knowing just the basics to the most popular casino games played today. Everyone knows how to play Blackjack, but there is more to the game then just trying to get your cards close to 21 without going over.
So by studying one game and spending all your time on that game you will be increasing your skills at the game and you will soon see that the basics are not enough when you are playing for money, especially if you want to win.
Pick a casino game that you enjoy because this is going to be your game, and you are going to spend a lot of time practicing and learning about the game. Then spend as much of your free time as you can, playing the game.
There are many online casinos and web sites that offer you the option of playing poker, or blackjack for free and also offer different variations of the game. This will allow you to get plenty or practice against a computer and other people before risking your money in a casino.
Try to pick a table with other knowledgeable players. Playing a game like poker or blackjack at a table full of amateurs will put you at a disadvantage, but at the same time you do not want to pick a table where you are the worst player no matter how good you are.
It is recommended that before sitting at any card game in a casino or an online casino that you watch a few hands to help judge the skills of the other players.
The longer you play and the more your skill increases you will be amazed at how much more money you are leaving the casinos with.

Data And Information Part 1 : E-mail Archiving
The current state of e-mail
Today e-mail is such an integral part of our day to day lives. So much so, that the thought of being without it is inconceivable. This is realised nowhere more so than in the corporate environment. Despite the high development and vast spread of e-mail over previous years, it is still not without its problems. Viruses and SPAM being the main concerns, but a slightly more unlikely issue is that of storage space. Users have turned their mailboxes into electronic filing cabinets whereby everything is stored away into neat folder structures. Why do they do this? The obvious answer being “because it is easy”. Policing from IT Administrators is an obvious solution to the issue, but with the ever increasing integration between office systems, can we simply set black and white guidelines for how and where the e-mails are stored and for how long?
How can I combat these issues?
It’s all too easy for a user to scan read an e-mail using auto-preview, and then just file it away knowing it will be there for when they need to address it properly. The end result of this is a slowing mail server with mailboxes well over the optimum size. IT Administrators are limited by their tools to what they can do to fix these problems. The options that they are presented with are as follows:
1. Get users to manually prune their mailboxes – There is no sure fire way to accomplish this on a regular basis and users find it difficult to distinguish a mail that they need to keep from one that they don’t
2. Use Auto Archiving – Some mail clients, including Microsoft Outlook include an “auto archiving” feature which stores old e-mails into a local file, thus reducing the size of your “live” mailbox. This relatively primitive technology again moves the responsibility of e-mail archiving to the end user.
3. Use an enterprise archiving solution such as the Symantec Vault products (formerly VERITAS Enterprise Vault). This solution is by far the most manageable and it removes responsibility from the end user to the IT administration team.
Symantec Vault Products
The Symantec Vault products provide a flexible archiving framework for e-mail, file and web based content. The products enable discovery of content held within these formats, whilst helping to reduce storage costs and simplifying data management. The powerful search and discovery capabilities are complimented by powerful client applications for corporate governance, risk management and legal protection. Some of the key features include:
1. Automatic cradle-to-grave content lifecycle management for e-mail and other corporate data
2. Easy and rapid search and retrieval of content allows end-users to tap into organizational knowledge.
3. Storage optimization reduces message and information stores by 50 percent or more.
4. Ensures compliance with retention and discovery policies by acting as a secure repository for electronic information.
5. Reduces the cost of content retrieval, recovery, and administration.
6. Provides an "information warehouse" for corporate data that can be mined as a knowledge resource using built-in index and search technologies.
7. Seamless integration of archived e-mail with existing mail systems remaining transparent to the end user
What should I do next?
1. Decide what type of e-mail archiving solution is right for your business
2. Understand what you are trying to achieve from investing in an e-mail archiving solution
3. Consider how implementing an e-mail archiving solution will affect your users and what changes will need to be made by them

Cutting Out The Secrets About Paper Shredders
Paper shredders are machines that allow the shredding of any paper to tiny pieces or very fine strips. Paper shredders are commonly used by individuals or groups that need to destroy classified documents that may prove to be of danger to themselves or to their group. These documents are cut into tiny pieces so that no one attempting to read them will succeed in doing so. Experts in the field of privacy will often advise individuals to destroy some of their personal documents like account statements, bills or other important files that cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of anyone.
1. Avoid Identity Theft
Another reason why important personal records and files must be destroyed is to avoid identity theft. Identity theft is simply when another person is assuming the persona of another person. Important records and files shredded through a paper shredder will be impossible to read - thus eliminating the possibility of identity theft.
Though paper shredders have given us the security of destroying files that we don't want anyone else to see, our carelessness can take away that security. In situations where a person merely leaves shredded paper from the paper shredder lying just about anywhere or at the garbage bin, the pieces can still be collected by nosy people or investigators, maybe even spies. To enable maximum security, when using a paper shredder make sure that documents are fed in a horizontal way and that they are perpendicular to the blades of the shredder.
2. Easy Cleanup
Many modern paper shredders come with their own waste bin, and those that do not have one are designed to enable them to fit over or next to another waste bin. Paper shredders are categorized depending on their size and shape of the shreds that they produce.
++ Strip Cut ++
A strip cut paper shredder uses knives that rotate that cut long narrow strips as long as the original size of the paper. The product of this paper shredder is the easiest to reconstruct for determined and patient investigators or spies. This is also the least secure type of paper shredder.
++ Cross Cut ++
This type of paper shredder uses drums that contra-rotate to cut the paper into parallelogram or rectangular shaped shreds.
3. Particle cut
The product of this paper shredder creates tiny square or circular shreds.
4. Granulators and disintegrators
These are paper shredders that randomly cut the paper repeatedly until they are no more than little particles that can fit through the mesh
5. Pulverizers or hammermills
Huge devices that simply make dust out of your paper
6. Alternatives
Some alternative paper shredders not just shred the paper but are also sometimes equipped with chemicals, burning materials or composting materials that completely destroy the document after shredding it. For paper shredders that do not protect up to maximum security, like the strip cut - it will still be possible to unshred the document by reconstructing and pasting the shredded pieces together. This was fist spurred with the Enron accountancy scandal, where documents containing altered information were fed through the paper shredder in the wrong way, enabling the investigator to reassemble the original document.
7. Reconstruction
As difficult as it is to understand, shredded paper is possible to reconstruct. Undisturbed shredded papers tend to stay in close proximity with each other unless acted upon by an outer force, especially if these shredded materials belong to the same document. Also, as with the Enron accountancy scandal, confidential documents were fed through the shredder in a wrong way. When paper is fed in such a way that its lines are not at right angles with the blades of the shredder, it creates shredded paper containing longer and readable texts.
Shredded paper can even be reconstructed without the use of any machines. In 1979, just after the Iranian revolution, the U.S government hired local Iranian carpet weavers who with patience reconstructed the documents found in the Tehran US embassy. Because of this, paper shredders made a step further in creating paper shredders that can pulverize, pulp and decompose the shredded.

Crash Testing New Products - Performance Testing Guide
When it comes to new products, there is always that one final task that needs to be done before the said product can actually be approved or not for by the target market. Road testing, otherwise known as performance testing, is actually a good way for the manufacturers of all sorts of products especially in the field of technology to be able to obtain the objective kind of feedback that they need from their prospective buyers in order to ensure the success or failure of their products or services.
