Some of us have been experiencing the internet since the early 90’s. In 1992 the first commercial companies started offering internet access to users. Since then the internet has grown and changed drastically, but there are a few things which have remained constant…

Creating a big, multi-billion dollar enterprise like Microsoft or Google takes a certain type of personality. You must do things nobody else has done. Bill Gates, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin all saw the value in new technologies and worked to make them a reality. Now, both of these companies are competing in the software market. Microsoft has long dominated the email, office tools, and web browser markets. Their customer list is enormous and most new PC consumers still find Microsoft software pre-installed. Even with well-established alternatives like OpenOffice and Lotus Notes from IBM, Microsoft is leagues ahead of everybody else. This is where Google steps in.

Developed by research teams at the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science, India recently unveiled a 1,500 rupee touchscreen tablet prototype, equivalent to $35 US dollars.

It made sense to me, at least at first. After all, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to clear malware off my laptop in the past year. Far too many times, believe me.

Following in the footsteps of other larger retailers like McDonalds, Starbucks is now offering free, unlimited Wi-Fi at all of its stores in the United States and Canada. Effective on July 1st, a Starbucks Reward Program membership is no longer required, no username or password is needed, and there is no longer a 2-hour restriction to accessing their AT&T wireless Internet. Free Wi-Fi has long been the top request of Starbucks customers.

These days are all about using your finances efficiently. Most of us have less cash in our pockets and less credit with the bank than we did 2 or 3 years ago. A $500 entry-level Apple iPad might seem like a steal, but you can build your own netbook or even desktop computer to use the internet (including Flash websites) for less money.

We’ve all been there before. Only a few minutes left to print out that important client proposal and… BAM, printer doesn’t work. So Frustrating!

Well we are happy to inform you that there multiple solutions to help solve this issue

During rough economic times, the natural reaction for most companies is to hold back on company spending to keep costs down. Naturally if something isn’t broken, why fix it.

With the release of Microsoft Office 2010, we thought it would be fun to list a few “lesser known facts” about Office. Why would you want to know Office trivia? That’s a fair question. How about for some good ammunition for those early morning “chats” around the water cooler! Read and enjoy!
