Streaming Media...now a well accepted Internet technology. Yet streaming is still not being widely utilized by members of corporate training staffs. Why is this? I would venture to guess that lack of direct experience, hesitation to try new methods, and fears about costly "TV type stuff" have all contributed to make streaming seem like something too difficult to attempt successfully.Granted, streaming media still has its limitations especially in the area of delivering full- screen, full-quality video. But most of the big players on the Internet, even those in head-to-head competition for the fast-growing streaming audience, agree that as bandwidth continues to improve, streaming provides a...

They may call it a wireless phone, but standard cellular phones still require wires at some point. Besides the clunky charger, you also have to fumble with cords to use a headset and to transfer data between your phone and other gadgets. But there is an answer for anyone looking to cut the cord almost completely. With a Bluetooth cellular phone, you can chat on a wireless headset, transfer data magically through the air to a handheld, or connect with a Bluetooth-enabled car. But take care, as each Bluetooth cellular phone is not created in the same manner. While some carriers let you use a Bluetooth cellular phone for almost any means, others restrict it to a headset only.Bluetooth is a standard...

I was recently struck by the fact that the top-ranking web pages on Google are consistently much better written than the vast majority of what one reads on the web. Yet traditional SEO wisdom has little to say about good writing. Does Google, the world's wealthiest media company, really rank web pages based primarily on arcane technical criteria such as keyword density, link text, or even PageRank?Apparently not. Most Common Website Content Success FactorsI took a close look at the top five pages for the five most searched-on keywords, as identified by WordTracker on June 27, 2005. Here's what I found.The web pages that contained written content (a small but significant portion were image...

I'm fairly certain there are folks at Nintendo feeling some serious self-loathing right about now. You see, back in the mid-90's Nintendo contracted Sony to develop a CD-ROM drive for the Super Nintendo. As the project progressed, a number of factors (one of them being the spectacular failure of the Sega CD and its' followup the 32X) led Nintendo to can the project. Sony was left holding the bag, with a CD-based gaming system but no one to sell it to.Making proverbial lemonade from lemons, Sony turned around and produced what is perhaps the most successful game console in history, the Sony Playstation. The result? For the first time in history, Nintendo took second place in the video game console...

Economic development corporations across America are looking for ways to revitalize their local economies. They wish to provide higher paying jobs, cleaner industries and monetary inflows. This of course is a great goal for a regional economy, however economic development agencies would be advised to carefully study from which new industries in which market sectors they recruit.High-tech office parks often provide higher paying jobs, which is a boost to the local economy. Indeed, it would be great to have all local jobs with high salaries. In economic development associations they need to consider that if they are willing to recruit high-tech industries they will need to have in place prior to...

In my last article I wrote how there's never been a better time to buy a high definition (HD) television, and I had just preordered the Samsung HLS-5087W 50 inch rear projection DLP unit. The Samsung was delivered last Thursday and here's a summary of my initial reaction.First let me give some background on preparing for the new HD television. I'm a satellite TV subscriber and needed to upgrade my DirecTV hardware to be HD-compatible. So last month I logged on to and ordered the HD upgrade package. For $200 DirecTV came out and replaced my old satellite dish with a new 5-LNB oval HD dish. The HD package included the lease of DirecTV's new H20 HD receiver, and also included installing a new UHF...

Pocket PC owners, if Microsoft has its way, will hopefully have little to envy of their iPod toting brethren in the near future.According to a TechNewsWorld article, Microsoft brashly announced plans to develop software to combat iPod and iTunes proliferation with their own software, Zune.In all likelihood they're planning to horn in on this extremely lucrative section of the Apple technology market.Looks like poor, cash-strapped Microsoft simply doesn't earn enough coin.You might recall the Windows Genuine Advantage update (a.k.a Windows XP Anti-Piracy Detector) update that was suddenly sprung on fake Windows XP users last month.This resulted in a multitude of dialog boxes at the Windows XP login...

Rehoboth Beach Delaware is called the Nation's Summer Capital because we are such a common second home and entertainment location for the powerful and influential people of Washington D.C. There are few people making over $75,000 a year in the DC professions who do not frequent this area when they need privacy, space, fresh ocean air and relaxation. It's not just summer that draws them anymore, they come year 'round. And it's not just Rehoboth Beach anymore, they populate Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island and all the little towns near the Delaware Beaches.During the past several years all real estate, especially waterfront real estate or beach real estate anywhere has been a...

It was the eve of my trip to California, touring the first group of oils from my 'Banjo Paterson's People' series. The pictures to be exhibited were being previewed for Australian collectors at a cocktail party hosted by the gallery which represented my work at the time.Suddenly, a trendy local architect loomed up beside me, champagne flute in hand. Looking down the considerable length of his nose at me, he commented, 'So, you're really an illustrator, I see.' I beamed up at him and gushed, 'Oh, thank you!' His smirk made his thought transparent: (She's too dumb to even realise she's just been insulted.)Then I added: 'You've elevated me into the company of Michelangelo and Leonardo, Raphael and...

The vast majority of business literature is boring. This applies to printed and web writing alike. It is sometimes tempting to inject a bit of light-heartedness into the text, but it is a dangerous game.Some time ago, I edited the marketing materials produced by a London hotel. One of the hotel's attractions was its leisure centre, which included a well-equipped gym. The original script referred to a 'large satellite TV to give some relief from the torture.' Now, I have to admit that I agree with the sentiment. The strange machines in gyms are as painful as they are boring. Nevertheless, this was an unwise piece of ironic humour.The gym is a selling point to people who already like hard exercise...

The news of their arrival reached these shores long before they did. A massive ad campaign introduced them to America and touted their status as Britain's "New Fab Four." There was an extensive media blitz launched by the television network that would carry their already "wildly- successful in Europe" half hour show. And there was a steady stream of network news coverage, including the now-famous segment on Nightline in which Ted Koppel used the word "cute" a hundred and sixteen times and just for the briefest second, actually seemed to smile.I must admit, all the hoopla did make me wonder whether or not their coming to America was such a good thing. What affect would they have on our...

Minimize Credit Card Spending During the HolidaysThe holiday shopping season is a much-anticipated time of year for both the retail industry and consumers. For the retail industry, the largest percentage of their sales are earned during the holidays by consumers who have failed to plan and are easily lured to make impulse purchases for shiny new gadgets. Consumers on the other hand make a dash for the mall, credit card in hand, in search of a thrill from the fancy decorations and Christmas music, the sale signs, and the crowds. At the end of the day, or shall I say in January after things have calmed down, consumers are weeping because of their huge credit card bills wondering where all the money...

This vehicle would soon be rolling out of its manufacturing and assembly plants and would be later on shipped to the auto market of North America for sale.

Although the 2007 Lexus LS-460 is not the only one to offer a hard disk with...

Warwick Castle was taken over by the Tussaud Group in 1978 when it was bought from the 37th Earl of Warwick and the Group began a restoration program that is still in progress nearly thirty years later. In the process, the venerable old castle has become something of a theme park, touted by its owners in their literature as "Britain's Greatest Medieval Experience". This is not to denigrate their efforts however, because Castle restoration is an expensive undertaking and the "Medieval Experience" has helped pay the way.Special events, medieval banquets and a suite of rooms enlivened with wax figures of the Earl and Countess of Warwick preparing for a royal party create an almost circus-like...

Many sales professionals know what it's like to visualize calling prospect after prospect on the drive to work. They envision handling any objection and closing all their prospects with fun and ease. But once they settle into their office chair, they quickly fall prey to a berating little voice that always suggests to keep waiting for seemingly good reasons:- If you call too early in the morning, you'll be considered a noisome pest. Go get a cup of coffee and plan out your day. If you fail to plan, you know you're planning to fail.- Better check your email before making any calls. You never know when an existing client might need assistance. You shouldn't keep existing clients waiting.- It's...
