For an operation such as a construction project, two way radios that offer several channels are effective. Because there are several distinct frequencies to choose from, crew members do not have to worry about talking over each other and cutting off conversations of members on different teams. Conventional two way radios that operate on designated RF channels are often employed in these situations. These models feature toggle switches and dials that allow the user to choose a frequency that select other radios are tuned to. For example, the members of the digging team will use a certain frequency, while the members of the building team use another.

Crews and other businesses that operate in similar situations might look toward trunked two-way radios. Radios of this type automatically select a channel when certain protocol is met and join the selected conversation. In this setup, a control channel sends out a signal that the individual radios pick up on and communicate on when desired. It is the entire group of radios that makes up the network, and the electronic chips inside initiate the conversation.

Families also benefit from two way radios. When members are in rooms not adjacent to one another or even when traveling in separate cars, they may want to be able to talk to each other in case of emergency or if a question arises. Analog two way radios are fine for these situations. They are not digital, so multiple conversations are not possible. In this case, it is not a problem because only two people will be talking at once. Push-to-talk radios experienced a boom in sales when the major cellular companies promoted their use. By pressing a rocker switch, a chirp is emitted that indicates a channel is open and available for conversation.

Several types of two way radios exist for many occasions. Whichever you choose is dependent upon its features and your needs. Crews on a construction project will need more elaborate models than a husband and wife talking in nearby vehicles. With some shopping around, you will certainly locate a radio that does what you need it to do.

As the internet gained momentum and other electronic devices such as home theater systems and televisions began to enter the digital age, Ethernet cables experienced a surge in popularity along with them. In order to continue to deliver audio and video in a manner that people had become accustomed to by way of over-the-air frequencies, a cable had to be developed that would transmit adequate bits quickly enough to satisfy customers. The Ethernet cables were designed to do so, and as these unshielded, twisted-pair (UTP) cables evolved, they were given increasing category numbers. Category 6 cables are the industry standard in speed (6A is still pricey, but very fast), having replaced Category 5 and 5e.

Though Category 6 cables are fast, they are ideal for residential applications more often than for businesses. For example, an office building is usually outfitted adequately with a fiber optic network or Fast Ethernet network. At home, however, movies and music comprise a large portion of the leisure activities enjoyed by residents. The speeds needed to download and view them are best handled by Category 6 cables.

Stretched between a computer and a modem is where you will find many Category 6 cables. They are quick, and these UTP cables are capable of transmitting signals at speeds of 10 Gbits/sec up to 55 meters of cable. Anything longer, and the signal and speed will decrease. Multiple, simultaneous channels are easily handled by Category 6 cables.

Homes are not the only establishments that utilize Category 6 cables. A hospital in Virginia was one of the first of its kind to install the cables throughout the building in order to broadcast television to patients and employees. As time goes on, wireless signals will of course become faster and better in quality, but for now Ethernet cables are as quick as it gets, especially Category 6.

Conventional two way radios are those that use designated RF channels. Quite a few varieties of conventional radios operate on multiple channel settings that may be selected by way of toggle switches, buttons, and dials. The user selects a particular frequency to talk on and selects it. In a multiple channel system, the various frequencies each have a specific purpose. For example, a crew on a construction site may have one channel assigned to supervisors and another is set aside for communications between those on the ground and workers operating heavy machinery. Trunked two way radios automatically select a channel. A control channel constantly sends out a signal that is monitored by all of the radios on the system. When one interprets the proper protocol, that radio joins the conversation. Do not let the name control channel fool you, because radios are assembled by groups rather than by individual channels. Additionally, trunked radios contain electronics that establish connections based on a given protocol.

Several years ago, push-to-talk two way radios enjoyed a boom in sales when cellular phones began utilizing the technology. Pushing a rocker button emits a chirp that alerts the user to the fact that a particular channel is open for use. Like a walkie-talkie, the button is then released so that the other party is able to talk. Other types of two way radios operate on an analog signal. The family communicators that many people keep in their cars while traveling often use analog. One of the major differences between analog and digital is that analog may support only one conversation at a time. Another type of two way radio uses a simplex system, while others utilize duplex. Simplex systems use one channel for both transmission and reception. Duplex systems operate on two signals. Some two way radios are a simplex/duplex hybrid. They most often operate on a duplex system, but will switch to simplex if out of range. Two way radios have long been the standard in direct communication. Each type of radio has its advantages and disadvantages. Essentially, it comes down to how many conversations are needed at a time.

As is expected, an increase in the popularity of internet connections has meant a similar increase in the number of companies offering broadband connections. Sometimes, though, deciding on a broadband provider can be more difficult than it needs to be with all the different packages available. Below is some advice that should help you through the procedure of choosing a broadband internet provider.

What you need to consider first is whether you require a wired DSL or cable connection, a wireless connection, or even a mobile wireless connection. A wired DSL connection is simply data sent through your existing phone line, whereas with a cable connection, the data is sent via a coaxial cable. The difference between a wireless and a mobile wireless connection is that wireless connections are wide area network connections and you are ultimately limited by the coverage area of the satellite dish that is sending the signal, whereas with mobile wireless broadband a signal is sent from a telephone tower and therefore provides a much larger coverage area.

Once you have decided on what kind of internet connection you want, you now need to find out what companies operate in your local area. If you can access the internet, this will be your best resource for finding information on what companies can help you and exactly what packages they can offer you for internet access. Most companies offer varying degrees of bandwidth, though remember that the chances are that you may never even achieve the advertised speed.

Some ISPs are able to provide package deals that bundle broadband internet, digital television and telephone line contracts into one monthly payment. This type of package can, in many cases, work out to be cheaper than the alternative solution of using a different company for each service, but be aware of exactly what you require and if you are working to a tight budget, then you should ask yourself if you really need the extra services.

As with many things, if you take your time to first work out what you need, what is available and what you can afford then choosing a provider to suit your requirements becomes a much easier job. It is advisable to spend a large amount of time not only researching available packages, but also reading customer reviews and feedback on internet forums for honest reviews on the services provided.

As is always going to be the case, everybody wants a faster connection, until there is no waiting involved at all. Although that final result may never be achievable, there are some simple ways to speed up your current connection without spending any more money. Sometimes the easiest and quickest option is the most effective. If you have recently experienced a decrease in your internet access speeds and you are unsure as to why or how it happened, the first thing you should try is to turn off both your pc and router and turn them on again, first the router, then the pc. Sometimes conflicting or incorrect data is loaded by the pc and it could just take a reboot to get things back to normal.

If you are using a wireless connection, it helps to be as close to the wireless router as possible. If it is possible then try to position your wireless router in the same room as your computer, and aim the aerial vertically to ensure the best possible broadcast area. If this is not possible then try to make sure that there is as little as possible, in terms of walls and electrical appliances, in between your pc and the router. Wireless connections are not only useful, but they reduce all the clutter that can take over your house by using ethernet cables linking the computers in your home. The only downside is that they are not as stable and consistent as wired connections so if you really want to make the most from your broadband, look into getting some wired connections installed.

It is possible to speed up your connection just by monitoring exactly what your computer is doing with your internet connection. There are some programs that like to be in constant communication with the internet and therefore sap away valuable bandwidth from what you are doing and also, even having an excessive number of programs running in the background can slow down your internet connection indirectly. More running programs means less random access memory for your computer to think with. Make sure that you are only using what programs you actually need by looking at the open programs in your taskbar and closing any unnecessary ones.

We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun:

Dear Editor,

I am 8 years old.

Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.‘  Please tell me the truth: Is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O’Hanlon
115 W. 95th St.

Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except (what) they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Merry Christmas 2010 to everyone!

The great thing about toll free telephone numbers is that they are easier for the general public to remember than standard telephone numbers, which means that, coupled with the fact that all calls made to that number are free, you business is much more likely to receive calls from customers regarding your services or products.

A toll free number is not difficult at all to set up and, if required, can come with many other services such as an answer service, call forwarding, call screening, call waiting, call conferencing, call recording and many others. On top of this, a toll free number is generally much easier to remember than a standard number coupled with an area code.

The most common way for a business to acquire a toll free telephone number is to contact a RespOrg, which is an abbreviation of Responsible Organization. A RespOrg is an organization that has access to the SMS/800 database which contains the registration details of every 800 number there is. Although they may or may not be a telephone company, they are independently regulated by the FCC.

Some companies prefer to acquire vanity numbers in order to further improve the customers ability at remembering the contact details. A vanity number is a telephone number that uses digits in the number to spell out a product, service, company name or acronym, for example 1-800-CHEESES or 1-800-TALK2ME.

In order to prevent warehousing or the hoarding of telephone numbers, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) help regulate the industry by setting rules to which RespOrgs and other entities offering toll free numbers must adhere to. Warehousing is the process of reserving a number without an intended subscriber for that number and hoarding (which also includes number brokering) means obtaining more numbers than a subscriber intends to use.

Toll free numbers are a great way for you to keep in touch with your customers. With free calls, customers are much more likely to contact you and hopefully, purchase products or services. Plus, it is a great way to stay up-to-date on trends in the market.

Businesses can choose from a wide range of non geographical telephone numbers, depending on their requirements. Different prefixes have different costs associated to them; 0844 numbers, for example, are structured so that the customer only pays for a proportion of the cost of the call, with the business that the number is registered to covering the remaining costs. 0800 numbers go one step further; with the full cost of all incoming calls being paid for by the business. Recent research on the subject has shown that businesses that use 0800 non geographical numbers enjoy a much higher response rate to advertising compared to businesses using geographical numbers.

One other advantage to non geographical telephone numbers is that all incoming calls to that registered number can be directed to any other registered telephone number in the country. So therefore, if one of your offices is having problems with their telephone lines, or if an office is moving location, incoming calls can be re-routed to another office with no loss in service for the customer.

So once you have decided that your business can benefit from a non geographical telephone number, how do you go about finding a suitable company with which to register your new number? Well, there are many companies in the market but finding the right one is not as easy at it may seem.

In order to find the best deal, spend some time on the internet searching for reputable companies that can offer a good package for your business. Some non geographical telephone numbers can be free to register with some companies, and some may even offer free startup costs, free registration and no monthly charges as an incentive; though these offers will only be available for certain prefixes.

It is important to note, before you choose a telephone number, try to acquire a number that is easily remembered. This means that if a customer notices an advertisement containing the number, there is more chance that they will call. Also, bear in mind non geographical numbers are usually charged at a standardized flat rate no matter what time of day, which means an added benefit for customers.

A powerful 1 GHz processor runs Android version 2.1 OS. This phone has a nice 8 mega-pixel camera, which can be used for still photos or for 720p HD video.

The Xperia X10 spawned two smaller versions, the X10 Mini / Mini Pro. They utilize a slide out keyboard to compensate for the smaller screen size of 2.55 inches. The screen remains a capacitive touch screen however and the functionality of the smaller versions basically remains the same. The X10 Mini has a 600 MHz processor and the Android 2.1 operating system. Timescape UI is also included for those into social networking media. This interface allows users to update all of their social networks at once. The X10 Mini’s camera is a 5 mega-pixel auto focus unit designed for still photography and 720p HD video.

For the price conscious Sony Ericsson has rolled out the Xperia X8 model, which is a less expensive version of the X10. This is a slightly smaller version of the X10 (although slightly thicker), which packs a lot of similar features. The screen is a bit smaller at 3.0 inches, but it remains a capacitive touch-screen. The display quality is not quite on par with that of the X10, a sacrifice to lower price no doubt. The X8 is loaded with the Android 1.6 OS, which can be upgraded to Android 2.1 OS. This phone is equipped with GPS, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity just like the X10.

Sony Ericsson fans have a lot to choose from with the Xperia line of smartphones. Android OS and a full range of standard features will satisfy even the most discerning smartphone shoppers.

This unibody phone is cut from a single piece of aluminum which is then given a brushed finish. Inside, a 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset is utilized. There is a 3.2 inch SLCD display and the phone has a healthy 8GB of memory. Below the screen there are three backlit buttons and then above the display is the earpiece protected by a grille. Matte silver buttons on the sides control the power, volume and camera. At the top of the phone near the power button is a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The camera on the HTC Mozart is an 8 mega-pixel auto-focus. This outshines many of the other smartphones in its class that usually come in at 5 mega-pixels. The Mozart falls short in options to adjust this powerful camera however, lacking settings for ISO, EV, sharpness, and metering. There are reports that the HD camcorder feature has problems with frame rate reduction, particularly in low light conditions, where the number of frames per second is reduced lowering the video quality.

Music fans will love the HTC 7 Mozart. First, this unit has excellent quality speakers and a high-end sound technology known as SRS WOW HD, which is said to create virtual surround sound. The Mozart is equipped with Zune software, which creates a music, and videos hub, which is used to download your music and videos.

The HD7 has an enormous screen that will instantly attract the gaze of anyone who picks up the phone. It measures a whopping 4.3 inches and allows for the maximum usage of the Windows Phone 7 OS features. It doesn’t take much to imagine how clearly movies and other videos appear on its display. Pinch-to-zoom is a feature that most phones possess these days, and the HTC HD7 is no different. The screen maintains 480 x 800 resolution and fits on a body that measures 68mm x 11.2mm x 122m. This allows the phone to fit comfortably in the pocket, even with such a roomy screen. If you want to watch a movie without holding the handset the entire time, a kickstand is provided.

Applications, video, and web browsing zip along on the HTC HD7’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 GHz processor. 576 MB of installed RAM increase the performance speed. Aside from enviable speed, the HD7 possesses a 5 megapixel camera that presents a movie mode in 720p. This is certainly not exclusive to the HD7, but HTC’s Hub sets the phone apart from the crowd by working seamlessly with WP7’s already impressive operation. The HTC claims that the phone is supposed to be a one-stop entertainment machine, and the speakers at the top and bottom of the phone go a long way toward proving this claim. A metal band protects the speakers and surrounds the phone in its entirety.

There are plenty of native applications on the HTC HD7 including, of course, an email client. Some testers and reviewers noted that the HD7 received emails even before it showed up in their online mailbox. Email search is quite simple, as you have only to swipe right or left to find unread and flagged messages. The phone uses Internet Explorer as its browser and syncs with Zune Music and Videos. Microsoft Office is another native application on the phone, complete with Google Docs.

The HTC HD7 smartphone is a sleek, powerful media dynamo. Whether it is movies, music, or email you need, the phone can handle it all and handle it quickly. With its vivid and large display, the HD7 presents an easy to see and easy to use package.

The HD7 is not only large in physical size, but its storage capacity is large as well at 16GB. If you want even more, sorry, there is no memory card slot. The large 4.3 inch display is an LCD panel which may be a concern for those who feel strongly that OLED is the only way to go. There is an interesting flip out kick stand that props the phone up for hands free viewing. If more than one person is watching however, glare may contribute to a less than ideal viewing experience.

The battery life on the HD7 has raised some concern, as it is not on par with some of its competition. It stands to reason that HTC did not opt to bulk this phone up any more with more battery. It is already large so they fitted this with a 3.7V 1,230 mAh battery which is rated for 6.5 hours of talk time. This is not quite up to the competition, where many smartphones can provide talk time of over 7 hours. The HTC Legend in fact is a leader in battery life with a talk time of 12.75 hours.

The 5 mega-pixel camera on the HD7 is a good quality and performs as a camcorder for 720p HD video recording. Photo critics may have something to say about the photographic quality of still images which tend to come out blurry and have a problem with color accuracy. The problems with fuzzy pictures may lie in the less than positive feel of the shutter button which can cause a bit of lag in the shutter.

HTC had originally offered a phone of this type in the HD2, which ran Windows Mobile 6.5. The HD7 will run Windows Phone 7 and that alone is a big plus. If you couple that with the other amazing features like the large screen and the 5 mega-pixel camera, this smartphone is a great device. Some of the drawbacks should be highlighted, although for many they will not be a deal breaker. 6.5 hours of talk time is less than the competition but that is still a good battery life given this units large display. From a camera standpoint, this still takes decent photos. The “soft button” issue may cause some concern for serious photographers, but chances are those folks are using the SLR for award winning photos, not their cell phone.

Preliminary reports are that the Blackberry Storm 3 is a touch up of the Storm 2, almost considered a version 2.5. One of the first things customers will notice on the Storm 3 is the totally touch screen QWERTY keyboard, eliminating the sometimes flimsy and breakable sliding version found on other phones. It will please Storm 3 customers to know that it is an accurately sensitive touch screen, preventing an inordinate amount of errors. The screen itself is a considerable 3.7” AMOLED capacitive touch screen, allowing scads of functions to appear in large scale.

Powering these features and functions is the Blackberry OS 6.0, customized for the Storm 3. When users surf the internet, the OS 6.0 operating system provides the engine for RIM’s Webkit web browser. Early reports are that the browser is a big improvement over its predecessor. 8 or 16 GB of storage offer enough storage for plenty of videos and photographs, within reason of course. The memory can be expanded up to 1GB RAM and 1GB ROM. Videos and photos are captured on a 5 megapixel camera with a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels.

The Blackberry Storm 3 is a World Edition smartphone, already providing an advantage over other phones of its ilk. It also offers 3G hotspot capabilities of HSDPA at 10.2 Mbps. 802.11n WiFi comprises the connectivity aspect of the phone. Bluetooth version 3.0 is included as well as a standard, Li-Ion battery that allows approximately 9 hours of standby time in 2G and around 5 hours of standby time in 3G. It goes without saying that the Storm 3 presents the ability to store a wide array of ringtones in both MP3 and WAV format.

Research in Motion has updated the Storm 2 rather nicely with the Blackberry Storm 3. It takes what is good about previous models and freshens them up. As smartphones continue to develop at a mind boggling pace, RIM keeps up with the crowd and even leads the way.

Android phones have been all the rage for some time now, and the operating system remains a favorite of smartphone users. The HTC Wildfire uses the Android 2.1 platform combined with the HTC Sense. This Android phone runs a CPU at a speed of 528 MHz and is backed up by 512 MB of ROM and 384 MB of RAM. There is a slot for a micro SD card that boosts the memory up to 32 GB. A 3.2” capacitive touch screen allows the user to see all of the functions and video that the Wildfire is able to provide. Pinch to zoom capabilities are found on the screen, a necessity these days it seems. The display gives a resolution of 240 x 320 QVGA, and though the screen may not be the largest that can be purchased, it allows for a less cumbersome handset overall. The body of the Wildfire spans 60.4mm x 12.19mm x 106.75mm.

Every smartphone worth its weight allows users to snap photographs, and the Wildfire furnishes a 5 megapixel camera that features auto focus and a flash. It even comes complete with geotagging. If you happen to stray off the beaten path, a digital compass and proximity sensor will get you back on track. A standard micro-USB port and 3.5mm stereo audio jack are found on the Wildfire for when you need to plug in. Those looking for Bluetooth will find v. 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate. The HTC Wildfire is a 3G phone and gives up to 7.2 Mbps download and 384 Mbps upload speeds.

Unless you have been living under a rock, it shouldn’t come as big news that people simply must stay connected to Facebook, Twitter, and other social network sites. The HTC Wildfire is a connectivity machine, providing Friend Stream that lets users check out all of the latest Facebook updates, tweets, and newest Flickr photos simultaneously and on one screen. All kinds of cool apps are available in the Android Market, and these can be recommended to friends right from the handset. The phone is equipped with YouTube video sharing capabilities.

Of course, some more expensive phones provide faster speeds and larger screens than the HTC Wildfire, but most do not provide the essential smartphone functions at a lower, more affordable cost. Customers will appreciate the fact that their favorite features are all on one, low-cost phone.

Hand-held or mobile 2 way radios are designed to be robust, lightweight and portable, meaning that you can keep in constant communication with your employees at your workplace, your mountaineering buddies, or even your skiing partners dispersed over a mountainside, as long as you pick the right device suitable for its intended use.

Buying a 2 way radio can be a confusing experience of range capabilities, radio bands and antennae amplification levels, but the information detailed here should make things a little clearer for you.

Firstly you must decide what type of 2 way radio you want. Do you want a GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) configuration, high power radio suitable for outdoor recreation; or an FRS configuration (Family Radio Service) radio which is a lower power unit?

You must also remember to view coverage claims on radio packaging critically. Generally, coverage claims are based on best-case scenarios in optimal conditions; the best case being, transmitting from a mountain to a receiver in a valley with an unobstructed direct line of communication. This scenario is uncommon and real-world transmission range in the majority of situations is around two miles.

Finding a device suitable for your requirements can be difficult if you don’t know what all the numbers in a devices specifications mean. But what particular piece of information should you use to base your judgment on? The best place to start is the effective radiated power of a unit. In simple terms, this number is how powerful the antenna is, ignoring the amplification abilities of the device.

Radio waves are generally around twelve inches long and the best way to capture them effectively is with a large antenna. The problem is that a large antenna is not easy to carry around and is certainly not aesthetically appealing to potential customers; so designers need to strike a balance between effectiveness and portability. It is advised to choose a radio that has an antenna which is roughly the same length as the radio body.

Something that people fail to realize is that with a GMRS band radio, users must have a paid subscription as the GMRS band was first developed for commercial use, though subscriptions are not expensive and easily obtainable. The FRS band sparked the 2 way radio popularity explosion as it is free and offers seven channels, though because of the lower power used, range is limited to around six miles in perfect conditions.

When a decision has been made that an upgrade is required, it is then time to evaluate the key features that you will be seeking from the new system. Evaluate the features of your current system in terms of those that you like and the features, or problems, that you do not like. Then look at the capabilities of new systems to determine which ones, and with what features, will serve your business the best. This will help you to focus on which features available through an upgrade are worthwhile endeavors.

Cost is a factor in any telephone system upgrade and an assessment of your current costs will be the starting point in your upgrade evaluation. This may include the cost for Internet and WAN circuits, your PBX lease, PBX monthly services, cell phone, monthly conferencing, and maintenance (including tech support, hardware and software that may require replacement). Once this information is gathered a proper evaluation and comparison can be done for the upgrades.

A budget should be prepared that is based on the current system and all of its features. Once this is complete it will be time to investigate the actual cost of the upgrade to include all of the new equipment, software, and installation costs. These costs should be separated from the ongoing costs common to both the old and the new systems so that a comparison can be drawn to highlight those cost differences. This will allow for an educated, cost driven approach to making an upgrade decision.

After a working budget is completed, you will need to begin to actually shop for a system. One of the next steps is to identify which of several good equipment manufacturers that will be considered. Most manufacturers will utilize re-sellers that offer sales and installation services, as well as maintenance contracts. Sometimes, there will be multiple re-sellers within a given geographical area and it may make sense to get proposals from each of them to compare, and ensure that you are getting the best possible price.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro was recently released (June 2010) as an improved alternative to the X10 Mini. Both the Mini smartphones are powered by a Qualcomm 600 mhz processor and have Android installed as their operating system. The X10 Mini Pro was initially installed with Android OS version 1.6, but is upgradable to the quicker Android OS version 2.1. The newer version of the Android OS comes with essential upgrades such as an improved virtual keyboard and HTML 5 web browsing capabilities.

Despite having an extra slide out QWERTY keyboard, the Xperia X10 Mini Pro is surprisingly thin. As compared to its “twin”, the Mini Pro has a negligible 2mm of extra depth. In other words, they’ll feel the same in your pockets and palms. The Mini Pro’s default color is black but it is also available in Pink and Red.

One thing that made a huge difference though, is the slide out QWERTY keyboard. Sony Ericsson perfectly analyzed the ergonomics of a handheld QWERTY keyboard and strategically positioned the keys for an extremely comfortable typing experience. The effort has reaped them huge rewards, as positive feedbacks have been overwhelming.

The Xperia X10 Mini Pro comes with the visually appealing Xperia experience. This includes the lively 3D interface and the mobile social network partner, Timescape.

On the other hand, the 5 MP camera provides quality pictures in solid resolution (2560×1920 pixels). It also comes with autofocus, LED flash, camera modes and video recording (640×480 pixels). You will be able to pick between auto, macro, twilight or sports mode when snapping pictures. The noise isolation handsfree kit also delivers great clarity and bass when listening to music.

The most common worry about the Xperia X10 Mini Pro is usually related to its smaller touchscreen. Despite a lack of virtual real estate, Sony Ericsson had successfully optimized the interface to accommodate space restrictions. This means that you will not experience day-to-day frustrations on the compact smartphone. Ultimately, the main problem that lies with the virtual keyboard is tactfully solved with the slide out QWERTY keyboard. That leaves us with one disadvantage – the lower resolution of the screen causes incompatibility issues with a few Android applications.

If you are on the lookout for an affordable smartphone that doesn’t occupy much pocket space, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro will be a strong contender!

With it’s impressive 4 inch screen housed in a light plastic body with chrome trim, the Samsung smartphone certainly has the look of a high end smartphone. The Galaxy S appears to have been influenced more than a little by the design of the iPhone family, but this realization only reinforces the view that it is a very good looking phone.

It’s not just the size of the screen that makes the Galaxy S a worthy challenger to the iPhone. Thanks to the Super AMOLED high resolution display, whatever you are viewing on it looks amazing, with rich colors and clean, crisp contrast. The touchscreen function is equally impressive, and makes it simple and easy to navigate around the Galaxy S.

The Galaxy S has a 5 megapixel camera, and while this is about average for a high end smartphone, and the same as the iPhone 4, the Samsung software lets you adjust and tweak a whole range of settings, giving you much more control over your photos. There’s also full 720p hi definition video capture, which makes up for the fact the Galaxy S has no flash, relying on its ‘night mode’ instead.

Samsung wanted the Galaxy S to blow the competition away when it came to playing media, and most users will probably agree that they’ve achieved their aim. Whether your playing music or video from the smartphone’s incredible 48GB storage capacity, with features like virtual surround sound and that Super AMOLED screen, everything just looks and sounds great.

Whereas you’d be hard pushed to tell a 3G and a 3GS apart, the iPhone 4 has a completely new look. It’s flatter, thinner, and even die-hard 3GS fans would probably admit that it has a much more stylish, high-end look to it. But its looks are just the start, and the appearance of an extra camera on the front, and an LED flash for the main camera, give you an idea of the extra features that have been crammed into this smaller, better-looking iPhone.

The new display on the iPhone 4 is something that will impress a lot of old and new iPhone users. The number of pixels has been doubled, and the contrast increased, which gives the screen the ability to make web pages, emails, your photographs, and even high resolution video appear much brighter and clearer.

With so many other camera phones on the market squeezing up to 3 times as many megapixels into their phone cameras, the camera on previous iPhones has always been something that many felt let it down. The new iPhone not only has a better 5 megapixel camera, but much improved technology and software that works with it to give users the photos and videos they will be more than happy with. With a flash for the main camera, and video calling thanks to a second camera on the front of the phone, even the harshest critic would have to admit that the iPhone 4 is a big improvement for camera phone lovers.

You also get a new Operating System with the iPhone 4, iOS4, which has some impressive new features compared to the old 3GS operating system. For a start, the capacity of your homescreens is increased with the addition of folders for all the similar icons you want to keep together. But probably the biggest attraction of iOS4 is the true multitasking it offers. It takes a bit to get used to, but once you do, you can now keep several apps open at the same time, and quickly and easily switch between them.

The media might have been quick to point out some of the initial flaws with the new iPhone 4, but this shouldn’t be allowed to overshadow the impressive improvements Apple have made to how their new iPhone looks and functions.

The Optimus is another example of LG’s ability to make good looking phones. The phone’s design and quality finish mean that, not only will you be more than happy to be seen using it, it is easy and comfortable to handle when you do; and even with a decent sized touchscreen, the phone is easily carried in your pocket or purse.

The touchscreen itself provides a nice clear and bright display, with a handy auto-rotate feature provided by the built in accelerometer.

The Optimus has the standard 3G and Bluetooth connectivity, and like all the other smartphones on the market, it also allows the user to connect to WiFi networks for a faster browsing and download experience. With more people using their smartphones to access the top social networking sites, the Optimus’s built in features have got real-time Facebook and Twitter updates covered.

Using the Android 1.6 version, the Optimus has a slightly outdated operating system when compared to some of the other Android phones on the market, but it is more than enough for an entry-level smartphone. Overall performance is excellent, and with your choice of apps from the Android Market, and good battery life, most users will find it is more than enough for what they need from a smartphone.

The only real downside to the Optimus is the 3 megapixel camera, which is a adequate if not outstanding in today’s smartphone market. The autofocus is a great feature that makes taking photos much easier, however there’s no flash, which makes shooting inside or in low light a little disappointing. The video capture is good, but it isn’t going to worry any of the bigger smartphones.

The likes of Apple, HTC and Google are not going to be overly worried about the challenge from the LG Optimus, but this would probably suit LG just fine. It can’t, and isn’t meant to, compete with the top smartphones. Instead, it is meant to be an affordable smartphone that offers most people what they want; something it does very well.

Blackberry phones are renowned for their full-sized keyboard and rather chunky looks, and the Curve is no different. Most people will either love or hate the keyboard layout and slightly wider feel of the Curve, although it doesn’t feel overly big, and its size does have the additional benefit of allowing space for one of the few ‘widescreen’ displays on the smartphone market. With a choice of colors to give your phone a little personality, Blackberry is keen to make the Curve a little less stuffy.

Whether is was to differentiate it from the business versions, or simply to cut costs and make the Curve more accessible to the consumer market, Blackberry have made a couple of changes. There is a trackpad instead of the trackball on other models, and the shiny chrome finish has been replaced by a more practical rubber one. Apart from that, it still looks and feels like the kind of quality phone you’d expect from Blackberry.

Blackberry have left out a number of features that some might expect, especially when it comes to connectivity, but the Curve is designed to be a basic, but usable smartphone. While it doesn’t support 3G and lacks the GPS feature of some of the more expensive smartphones, it does have WiFi, and the QWERTY keyboard and software that makes setting up multiple e-mail and social networking accounts simple, means user will find it easy to keep in touch.

Navigating around the Curve is nice and simple, thanks to Blackberry’s operating system and the user-friendly interface. You can add to the pre-installed apps thanks to the App World, and the music player is better than many would expect – the Curve even includes dedicated music control keys, to make it more appealing to consumers.

With the smartphone market dominated by the three or four big names, it looks like Blackberry is going to make the most of its business experience and provide a cheaper alternative that gives users what they want, in a way that lets them be a little different to the rest of the Apple, Google and HTC crowd.

The traditional Blackberry look is a bit like Marmite. Some love the full QWERTY keyboard and the ease with which it composes emails, texts, etc. – and others don’t. As good as the new Bold looks, and it has lost a bit of weight and gained a bit of shine, it will always be hard for Blackberry to convert thousands of Apple and HTC users. But the new, better looking Bold looks attractive enough that some will be tempted. Those who embrace the QWERTY keyboard are rewarded with the Bold’s ‘widescreen’ display, which even after the original’s dimensions have been trimmed, is still a decent size. The excellent resolution provides clear and bright images, and colors look rich and vibrant – perfect for viewing images and video.

There’s no shortage of connectivity options, which is usual for most smartphones, and especially one that has built its reputation on being the communication device of choice for businesses all over the world. As well as 3G, Bluetooth and WiFi, the Bold has GPS for use with the built in Blackberry Maps application. With a 3.2 megapixel camera that can record HVGA video as well as taking still shots, the Bold will have most image capture situations covered, especially as it also has auto focus, a 2x digital zoom, and an LED flash.

With the latest Blackberry 5 operating system on board, and the more than capable processor, the new Bold proves itself to be more than just a business machine, and can easily handle images, videos, and music, which are now much more a part of the new Bold. Surfing the internet is no problem, although the built in browser does slow up on sites with lots of content. As you’d expect, the Bold is great for keeping in touch, and communication with different people, using different sources, is managed easily. Some people might think that Blackberry’s contact and messaging interface isn’t as dynamic as some of the other smartphones on the market, but it’s simple, and it works well.

The latest version of the Bold offers a lot, and not just to business users. With an improved and still unique look, an updated user interface, and better integration of the kind of media and communication features that smartphone users want, it offers a real alternative to the other options on the market.

On the face of it, there’s no doubting that the Wave 2 has inherited the original’s good looks. With a sleek and polished design, the phone might not be iPhone beautiful, but it is pretty stunning. When you switch it on, the 3.2 inch screen is clear and bright, even though it doesn’t share the same AMOLED technology that went into the first Wave. The essential touchscreen that all smartphones seem to need these days is responsive and automatically changes the display to suit the phone’s orientation, thanks to the inbuilt accelerometer.

As you would expect from a manufacturer such as Samsung, the Wave 2 offers plenty of connectivity options, and even though it relies on GPRS and EDGE rather than 3G, it uses the latest Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS to keep users in touch, wherever they may be. There is also an FM radio, which often gets overlooked in some of the other smartphones, and the handy feature that lets you record direct from the radio is a bonus.

Probably one of the more interesting aspects of the Wave 2 is Samsung’s own Bada operating platform. The mobile manufacturer is committed to developing more of their phones on this platform, even though many feel the market it already overcrowded. With support for developers, to make sure Bada gets the features and apps that it needs to be a success, Samsung is pinning its hopes on the Wave 2 to introduce and promote Bada to a wider audience.

The Wave 2 complements its Bada platform with Samsung’s own Touchwiz user interface, which is simple and enjoyable to use. Social Hub helps the most active networkers keep in touch with all their contacts, and Samsung even has its very own app store. With a 3.2 megapixel camera and the ability to record video, the Wave 2 performs well on the camera front, if not quite up to the standard of the original Wave or the more expensive smartphones.

On the face of it, the features and spec of the Samsung Wave 2 might leave some of the original Wave fans feeling a little short-changed. However, the reality is that Samsung wants to ensure Bada’s growth by taking it to the masses; and by creating a more affordable smartphone for the mid-market, that has the look and feel of a much more expensive phone, and unique functionality that many will enjoy, they seem to have got it just right.

-What kind of download speeds are they offering. Most will specify “up to” x number of megabits per second, although this figure will be the maximum, and the actual figure could be less.
-How much information you are able to download, which is usually expressed in gigabytes, or GB.
-Do you still need to pay BT for your line rental, or will the ISP provide that as well?
-What kind of customer service do they offer, is it on the phone or by e-mail?
-You’ll need a router to get online, most ISPs provide one for free, but you need to check.
-Will you need to sign a minimum contract with your ISP

Keeping track of all these different figures and costs, as well as comparing them to see which offers the best deal, can be quite a headache. That’s why one of the best ways of choosing your broadband provider, is to let someone else do the comparison for you. There are several general comparison sites that include broadband providers, as well as specialist sites that focus on them exclusively. Using these to check which offer suits you best, as well as seeing ratings for each ISP, should ensure you make the right choice.

Finding the best deal for your broadband should mean you get good service as well as a good price. Some people do experience problems with their broadband every now and again, but if you’ve got a good ISP, they should be quick to sort out any issues. This is why it’s important to include the quality of customer service and technical support in your decision. If you have issues your ISP can’t resolve, consider going to the telecoms watchdog Ofcom, or if you are free to, change to another provider.

With so much to consider when choosing a new broadband provider, it can be quite a challenge, even if you do know a Gigabyte from a Megabit, so get help from people who get paid to help you choose. The comparison websites are great for giving you all the important figures and information you need to make your decision. But, you get what you pay for, and broadband internet is no different. The cheapest deal might not always be the best deal for you, so knowing what you need before you start looking is an important part of making the right choice.

With the Motorola Milestone XT720, gone is some of the size and weight of devices that came before. The Milestone’s shell measures 116 x 61x 11mm and the phone weighs 160g. The shape of the handset is rather unique. When viewed in landscape mode, there is a protuberance on the top right that seems to serve no other purpose than house three lights that indicate the camera option the phone is in. The front and back of the Milestone seem to be carved from two completely different pieces, as they fit together oddly. Critics have expressed their displeasure with the looks of the phone, stating that the changes were unnecessary. The new design does set the phone apart from the others.

Body aesthetics aside, the Milestone XT720 still offers the popular 3.7-inch screen found on prior handsets. It is a capacitive touchscreen and maintains a 480 x 854 pixel display. Making full use of the larger-than-average screen is an 8-megapixel camera complete with Xenon flash, a feature new to Android smartphones. This alone sets the Milestone apart from other Android devices as far as the camera is concerned. The camera also features face detection as well as a panorama mode. Of course, any smartphone that offers top end camera functions include video capabilities as well. The XT720 captures movies at 720p, and best of all, includes an HDMI port and the required cable that can send your images and movies to the big screen.

Some customers will be saddened to learn that Motorola did not offer Motoblur on the Milestone, but it did include Android 2.1. There may be no built-in social networking, but customers are treated to a trial version of MotoNav and the company’s new Phone Portal app. With this application, users are able to manage the XT720’s data from any browser on a PC or Mac linked to a USB or WiFi network. Youtube and movies are then viewed enjoyably on the 3.7-inch screen.

Motorola may not have returned to the very top of the smartphone world with the Milestone XT720, but it has produced a smartphone that provides the experience that many users are looking for. The XT720 performs its functions practically and quickly.

Since the Wave 2 is not intended for use in established smartphone regions, 3G network support has been replaced with GPRS/EDGE capabilities. The Wave 2 still provides WiFi b/g/n, but Bluetooth v3.0 is gone for v2.1. The Wave 2’s companion model, the Wave 2 Pro, experiences a change in design by way of a slide out QWERTY keyboard. A touch only screen is found on the standard Wave 2. Samsung’s TouchWiz is the user interface installed and the screen is 3.2 inches.

The Wave 2 comes equipped with 80MB of onboard memory and a microSD slot that allows for up to 16GB. Maybe it’s not as much memory as is found on the lighting fast, high priced smartphones on the market, but there is still plenty to keep the Wave 2 from bogging down while performing tasks. It is, after all, a smartphone geared toward social networking. Facebook and Twitter are already installed on the Wave 2 and plenty of other applications can obtained from the Samsung Apps store.

The Samsung Wave 2 is meant to introduce growing markets to smartphones, specifically the Bada OS, so there have been sacrifices in order to retain affordability. This doesn’t mean that the phone is bereft of features. DIvX and Xvid playback are not here, but there is an FM radio and GPS. And don’t forget the microUSB and previously mentioned microSD slot. Samsung has also provided its own Social Hub with the Wave 2 in order to focus on social networking. Social Hub combines Twitter, Facebook, IM, and email into one easy location. There is no need to install additional software in order to download apps like games and navigational tools. For bigger files, the Wave 2 can be synched to a PC. Rounding out the package is a 3-megapixel camera.

With the Wave still making its rounds, the Wave 2 is a nice companion intended to penetrate new markets. Not large on the latest bells and whistles, the Wave 2 focuses on affordability and reliability. The Wave series of smartphones has a winner with the Samsung Wave 2.

Customers do not want to feel as if they are lugging around ankle weights in their pockets, a fact with which Samsung is familiar. The Samsung Galaxy is comparably slim and slender to other smartphones of its type, measuring 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9mm and weighing scant 119g. The contouring of the shell recalls the iPhone 3GS, with its black plastic and metal contrasts. This is certainly not a deal breaker, but some users may be a little disappointed that the style does not exactly distinguish the Galaxy from another handset.

Samsung certainly set the Galaxy apart from the competition, however, with the 1 GHz Hummingbird processor. Not very many smartphones can claim speeds of that caliber. There are 8GB of internal storage available on the Samsung Galaxy that can be expanded to 32GB for those who need a little more. The 8GB of storage break down to about 6MB for media and 2GB for applications. Connectivity on the Galaxy is triband 900/1900/2100 HSDPA/HSUPA. Add to that Bluetooth 3.0 and a microUSB 2.0 port and you have a handset at the front of the curve.

Though the Galaxy certainly does not lack in the speed department, the phone truly excels with its display. The screen itself is a huge, 4-inch capacitive touchscreen that responds very well. It offers 800 x 480p resolution with Samsung’s Super AMOLED display, already a better option than the standard AMOLED and LCD displays of previous models. Super AMOLED also provides much better viewing on the Samsung Galaxy in direct sunlight than many other smartphones.

Samsung includes its own TouchWiz user interface on the Galaxy on top of Android 2.1. There might be a small learning curve for users familiar with the regular Android 2.1 interface, but TouchWiz has its own perks such as improvement to the notification bar. It maintains persistent shortcuts that allows users to toggle between vibrate and silent modes, Bluetooth, and WiFi. And the Samsung Galaxy puts its own spin on social networking with Social Hub. This function places Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter messages into one stream.

The Samsung Galaxy will surely continue Samsung’s fine legacy of Android smartphones. Placing somewhere near the top of the market, the phone is cutting edge and user friendly. The Samsung Samsung Galaxy will please consumers looking for the newest and best in Android technology.

One of the changes found in the iPhone 4 is on the inside of the phone. The iPhone 4’s predecessor, the 3GS contained a Samsung-based Cortex CPU. This has been replaced by Apple’s own A4 chip, the same one used by the iPad. The iPhone 4 does not quite speed along at the same rate as the 1GHz available to the iPad, but it is still more than fast enough. It brings up graphics quickly and navigates seamlessly. Those who find it too slow are likely looking for something to complain about.

Those quickly-rendered graphics are displayed on a 3.5 inch screen with 960 x 640 pixel resolution. Combine that with a mind-numbing 326 ppi pixel density and you have a display that is absolutely second to none. The incredible resolution makes up for any shortcomings in size, and it has even earned the name of Retina Display. It is so named due to the claim that it presents graphics in more detail than the human eye is able to distinguish. It may seem like overkill to present clarity that the user can’t see anyway, but at least consumers need not worry about a less than stellar display. In fact, many testes of the iPhone 4 have stated that the Retina Display easily provides the sharpest images they’ve yet seen.

It almost wouldn’t be worth having the Retina Display if the iPhone 4 possessed the 3 megapixel camera of past models. There are no worries here, because it doesn’t. The iPhone 4 has upgraded to a 5 megapixel camera that includes a backside-illuminated sensor with improved sensitivity to light. Also featured is an LED flash, although it can blow out some photos, a symptom not uncommon in flashes of this kind. It really is not that big of a deal, because the camera takes great pictures in low light and without a flash.

Finally, Apple has decided that it is time to produce a phone that allows multitasking. Though not backgrounding in the strictest sense of the word, the iPhone lets some APIs that imitate backgrounding to run simultaneously. Critics will cry foul, but for regular, everyday users, it is just fine. Until now, Apple has stated that their smartphones would suffer battery drain by performing multitasking. The iPhone 4 has cleared up any potential issue here, as it has been known to produce almost 40 hours of normal use in some tests.

The iPhone 4 has placed Apple at the forefront of smartphone technology once again. Featuring a Retina Display unmatched in the industry and improved performance over older models, Apple’s iPhone 4 is a standard setter. Customers will be thankful for the efforts.

One convenient feature on the LG Optimus is the QWERTY keyboard. This seems to be the preferred method of typing these days instead of the T9 and words functions. Because of a larger keyboard, the handset is a little larger than comparable models, but it is by no means a behemoth. The body measures 109 x 54.5 x 12.7mm and will fit easily into pockets. It also doesn’t feel as though you are carrying around luggage due to the Optimus’s lightweight yet sturdy plastic construction. The shell is aesthetically pleasing because the development team carved smooth curves out of the shell.

A resistive touch screen presents the images on the Optimus. Some may be distressed to learn that the 5-inch screen is not capacitive, but the phone provides nothing to worry about. The screen is much more accurate than most resistive screens leading to very few mistakes. The display is TFT and carries HVGA resolution. This creates impressive imagery for a phone that enjoys a mid-range price. The resolution is 320 x 480 pixels and supports 256K colors.

The LG Optimus provides the user with two different types of home screens. One of these is the standard Android version and one is LG customized. The customized version allows for the creation of customized buttons that rest at the bottom of the screen and allow messaging capabilities from any point of phone navigation. These buttons offer easy access to any kind of folder, widget, or shortcut the user sets up. Also available are three to seven home screens, all of which can have their themes completely changed.

One drawback of previous LG smartphones has been meager battery life. LG has fixed this problem with the Optimus. The handset is equipped with a 1500mAh lithium-ion battery that provides 7 hours and 20 minutes of talk time and 500 hours of standby time. Most other smartphones can only dream of that level of performance.

Several nice enhancements await users of the LG Optimus. Some of these include an alarm clock as well as a world clock. For those who can’t be bothered to bust out the pen and paper, a voice recorder and organizer are available. The Optimus also remembers entertainment hounds and includes a dedicated Youtube plug-in. A PDF viewer is found among tons of other applications.

The LG Optimus may be new to the Android playing field, but it does not fall short of the competition. It is familiar without being a letdown to seasoned users and easy enough for new users to get used to the Android technology. The balance of advancements and simplicity along with the affordable price tag make the Optimus a worthy smartphone.

Where the Bold really excels is with its improvements on the screen. The 2.6-inch diagonal screen is slightly larger than the one found on the Curve. The Bold also adds three quarters of an inch to the width of the screen, bringing the total to 2.25 inches. The clarity and vivid colors on the Bold make older Blackberry screens seem dull by comparison. The resolution of the Bold is 480 x 320p, and Samsung has utilized the larger screen and better picture quality by updating the UI with bigger icons that are clearer and easier to handle.

The UI in question is the Blackberry OS 4.6. Precision Zen is the default theme this time around and wallpaper can of course be applied to the home screen. Precision Zen’s display arranges six icons dock-style along the bottom of the screen. Dimension Zen is also available, adding color only to the icon selected. Larger icons lead to fewer rows, as the Bold offers only three rows instead of four. This leads to a bit more scrolling around. If you have a hankering for some fun, the Games folder contains Sudoku and solitaire. There are also two online games that let you try your skill against multiple Bold users.

The Blackberry really made its name with email, a fact that RIM knows well. That is why the company chose to keep things relatively the same on the Bold. Older Blackberry smartphones did the job so well, RIM only updated and modernized the email functions rather than giving them a complete overhaul. Now, the user can see pictures in message and get full HTML. Attachment viewing is also nice, but other than that, it is still the same email procedure as usual. The text is obviously easier to see on the bigger and clearer screen, but actual mailing hasn’t changed much.

Much as they often do RIM has taken a good concept and revitalized it. With the Blackberry Bold, the company has taken the familiar aspects of handsets past and improved and tweaked them to maintain relevance. Blackberry fans will find a familiar and fresh device with the Bold.

Contemporary smartphones are much more than telephones. They are now mini computers, televisions, and daily planners. Because of their versatility, it is necessary for the handsets to possess a screen that presents the best possible view to the user. The Nokia N8 succeeds admirably in this regard with a 3.5-inch OLED touch screen display. It supports more than 16 million colors, creating wallpaper, picture, video, and widget images more vibrant than almost all other phones on the market. Included with the N8 is a 12-megapixel camera which will please even the most demanding photographer with capabilities not unlike the most expensive point-and-click cameras. The N8 contains 16 GB of installed storage which can be expanded to 48 GB by way of a micro SD card. Being caught without enough memory to capture the perfect photograph is not an issue.

Videos look equally breathtaking on the Nokia N8 with 720p recording in high definition. The phone comes complete with an extensive editing suite that enables the user to conform the footage to whatever standards he sets. Any piece of recording equipment that is worth its weight should also offer competent playback controls. With its large touch screen, the N8 performs playback quite accurately.

Huge numbers of applications now go hand in hand with smartphones. This is of course the case with the N8 and it offers a dedicated WebTV app that allows for the viewing of any kind of news and entertainment gossip one could possibly want. These programs are also presented in Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. If you are looking for even more punch, the N8 may be hooked up to a home theater system in order to really blow the doors off.

Entertainment is handled beautifully by the Nokia N8, and practicality is as well. Operating on the Symbian^3 platform, the N8 presents new features like multi-touch for functions such as pinch-to-zoom. Walk and talk navigation is also available on the handset which can be used with free OVI Maps to keep you on track. The maps are free forever and are supported in over 70 countries which makes for peace of mind while traveling away from home.

Nokia has shot to the top of the cellular heap with its N8 handset. Other manufacturers would be wise to take note on how to balance entertainment and practicality so well. Customers who already know the N8 couldn’t ask for anything more.

Because this is Sony Ericsson’s first foray into Android technology, they constructed the X10 with familiarity and practicality in mind. Boxed in modest packaging, the X10 is not that plain. Though it performs the numerous functions of other Android-powered models, the Xperia is not overly complicated. It is in fact based on Android 1.6 technology rather than the brand new 2.1 platform. This should please users who are looking for a new phone with familiar technology. Critics need not voice their concern because Sony Ericsson has made the X10 compatible with 2.0 versions. Of course, the three familiar homescreens that contain the folders, shortcuts, and widgets Android users love are found on the handset and the interface is fully customized with Timescape and Mediascape. The main menu is still found at the bottom of the screen as well, ready to be pulled up when needed.

Covering the majority of the front of the phone is the voluminous screen. Coming in at a full 4 inches, the screen requires that the X10 be created somewhat larger than other smartphone models. This should in no way diminish the enjoyment to be had while reading the screen in direct sunlight, because this phone performs that task better than many similar models. In order to accommodate the large screen, the X10 is 119 x 63 x 13mm. It weighs considerably less than other models this size because of the sturdy plastic from which it is constructed. The X10’s full touch screen claims 854 x 480 pixel resolution. The colors are limited to 65K due to the Android 1.6 platform it runs on. This does not cause issues with typical use, and if it proves problematic to some, their objections will be quieted when 2.1 technology is applied with its 16M colors.

An 8 megapixel camera and LED flash are found on the back of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The camera lens is exposed, so care must be taken not to scratch it. The potential for scratching is however lessened due to the fact that the lens is recessed. Sony Ericsson has made a good first impression with the X10. They are not looking to leave the field behind at this point and are more concerned with providing the customer with a quality experience. The Xperia X10 has certainly achieved this mission.

The Blackberry Curve 2 is basically an update to the Curve 8520. As a matter of fact, the shell is the same, the only change to be found on the back of the handset. It is a smooth, checkered pattern that gives the Curve 2 a slick feel, but not so much that it feels as if the phone can be dropped at any time. The device is also a mite thinner than its Curve cousins with a thickness of 0.5 inches, down from 0.6. The keyboard configuration is nearly identical to the Bold, something that will please users of previous that phone. Although the QWERTY keyboard is on the small side, it still outperforms other handsets, so that is of little concern. The camera shutter and volume buttons are located on the right side of the Curve 2 and the camera lens is found on the back. SIM and microSD card slots can be found under the battery cover, but there is no need to remove the batter to access them.

Because the Blackberry Curve 2 is a GSM, quad band smartphone, it can be used worldwide wherever GSM is found. The speakerphone on the Curve 2 is nice, but one of its strongest features is UMA calling. UMA calling is the type of calling done on WiFi networks. A number of carriers let the customer set the Curve 2 to automatically utilize UMA service in WiFi areas. When the WiFi signal fades, the device transitions back to GSM seamlessly. In addition to UMA calling, the Blackberry Curve 2’s WiFi 802.11 b/g connection makes for effective internet browsing. The phone operates on OS 4.6, which is the same as the Bold, but Curve 2 loads web pages better. The Curve 2 is powered by a speedy 512 MHz Xscale CPU. And what would a Blackberry be without push email? The Curve 2 accommodates both BES and BIS services, allowing for companies possessing Blackberry servers to operate or for users who want their carrier to provide Blackberry services.

Rather than completely change the look and operation of past Blackberry phones, RIM took the Curve 2 as its opportunity to update already successful phones. The Curve 2 builds on what works and what users like. Users will be pleased with the next step in the evolution of Blackberry handsets.

Several groups will be in Washington for commemoration of this very historic American event. The groups include Celebrate the Dream, an organization whose name comes from a reference made in the King speech given in 1963 about his hope for his native land;

“Celebrate the Dream is sponsored by ONE DC, EmpowerDC, Campaign for America’s Future, New Organizing Institute, National Organizer’s Alliance, Media Matters, Americans for American Values, and Jewish Funds for Justice. Further support is provided by the Arca Foundation, the CrossCurrents Foundation, and the Program on Inequality and Common Good, a project at the Institute for Policy Studies and the fiscal sponsor for this event. All donations are tax-deductible.”~from Celebrate The Dream’s web site 

as well as The Other 98 %. The Other 98 % name refers to what is left after the Elite 2 percent of the tax paying population is subtracted from the 100 percent of the citizens who work and pay taxes to support this nation.

“On Tax Day, 2010, we went head to head with the Tea Party armed with two huge banners, one overlooked fact, and a simple message: yes there’s a reason to be angry, but it’s not because some immigrant is sneaking across the border in search of “entitlements” or some “lazy” inner-city family supposedly cheating on their taxes and leaving you holding the bill. It’s because the Elite 2% have rigged the system and aren’t paying their fair share.”~from The Other 98 % web site History page

We believe it is not by coincidence a self professed rodeo clown will be holding an event purported to be a celebration of the late, highly venerated Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.,  the site of Dr. King’s most famous speech.

We’ve been surfing the Internet to read the views of many different people in the United States, some who were alive in 1963, some who attended the event in 1963, and others who weren’t even a gleam in their parents’ eyes during one of the shameful periods in our United States history.

During one of our surfing expeditions we found a chart which shows an interesting comparison, a kind of then and now.  It’s a simplification of the vast differences between the world renowned well-educated philosopher, Baptist preacher, Civil Rights activist, best known for being an advocate of non-violent protests; and the bufoon, who like Bud Schulberg’s creation,  Larry ”Lonesome” Rhodes, a character from the classic 1957 film “A Face In The Crowd” is, in the everyday parlance,  the embodiment of  “ just a lucky bum” with a scheme to fill his personal coffers with lots of cash fleeced from the uninformed and bigoted sheeple who follow him on Fox News – the news network owned in part by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who we know for sure funds terrorist groups in the Middle East via his Kingdom Foundation.

In our opinion Martin Luther King, Jr. was so hugely dynamic and important a figure in the history of our nation even a rodeo clown, and the rodeo owner, are compelled to give him his props.

Since we, as a nation of people of varied races, are not over the subject of race in this country, despite the media telling us we’re living in the “era of Obama” which in some circles is coming to be known as a “ post race era”, we think it’s appropriate  all the hoopla cum nonsense take place prior to and on this the 47th anniversary of Americans sincerely coming together under the leadership of a black man, to demonstrate to our government leaders our desire to make our nation better. We are after all still a nation for, of and by the people, regardless of what the pundits and politicians are telling those of us who still watch, read and listen to them blather on about who deserves to be a citizen of this new way of living

We’re looking forward to a celebration in three years that will exhibit the progress we’ve made toward fulfilling the hopes and desires of all our citizens.

Right off the bat, the Desire separates itself from the Nexus One out of the box with better usability. HTC included its Sense user interface on the Desire, which is rather user friendly. Just a tad larger than the Nexus, the Desire measures 119 x 60 x 11.9mm, which is still not a monster by any definition. Part of the size requirement is due to the huge, 3.7-inch OLED screen. Additionally, it is a capacitive touch screen. A beautiful, AMOLED display maintains a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels that puts it beyond the capabilities of the rest of the Android field.

This high quality display should of course be partnered with a camera capable of utilizing its abilities, and the HTC Desire provides a 5-megapixel camera. Although that is not a change from the Legend, the Desire shows images at an aspect of 5:3. On smartphones nowadays, a video recorder is always coupled to the camera, and Desire’s recorder shoots video at 800 x 480p resolution. This is an improvement over the Legend and the related Nexus One. Frame rate is reduced when recording in low light on the Desire which is most likely to compensate for a dark setting and provide extended exposure time.

As previously mentioned, on top of Android 2.1, HTC has placed its own Sense UI on the Desire. Users can really see what the display is capable of with features such as the whole screen weather effects. Sense also ups the number of homescreens from the usual five found on many Android phones to seven. Live View is another new feature that takes the seven panels and displays them in thumbnail format. Any smartphone worth its salt will offer a vast array of applications and allow for extensive multitasking. Desire accomplishes this better than almost all other models with a whopping 576MB of RAM. This is up to, if not beyond, the standards of most consumers. Desire also brings Friend View to the table. This feature, pretty much the answer to Motoblur, takes updates from Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter and places them in a single timeline.

Comprised of all of the best features of the Legend, the HTC Desire has updated that handset. The HTC Desire is the next logical step after a phone that was already well-received. Instead of breaking the mold, HTC took what worked and improved upon it.

That is why we support Jon Stewart’s suggestion and urge everyone to join us, as a nation, in not watching FoxNews Channel. Take a look at the video from the Daily Show on Monday, August 23, 2010 when the host of the program on Comedy Central made this salient proposal.

Remember Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal is to Rupert Murdock is to FoxNewsChannel

Appearance – Mobile phones are taking on more and more capabilities. Flexi screens cannot be too far away. A flexible screen will permit your mobile phone to be integrated into your clothes. Think about it: you are walking along and you lift the cuff of your shirt and type a number on to it. Then your earring or the arm of your eyeglasses serves as your mouthpiece. Actually, there may not even be a need for a keypad – improvements in voice recognition systems would put an end to those.

Battery Life – Batteries have been a concern since mobile phones were first invented. In the beginning they were hooked into a car and were not really mobile at all. Battery life has been something that has been worked on a lot. As people start to use their phones more and the technology advances, the battery life has to advance, too. charging the battery can be done in various now and it will surely advance in the future. There is an idea that one day there will be hot spots where you simply stand and your phone battery charges. Wireless charging is probably not too far off in the future.

Features – Features have been a major change in mobile technology. Entertainment has become common place on mobile phones. You can already text, email and instant message others in addition to just calling them. Mobile phones have become almost like an entertainment center in the palm of your hand. You can access the internet, watch movies, get driving directions and do numerous other things just from your mobile phone. In the future it may be possible to get cable television and play games that are better than what you can get on a video game console. Music is also evolving and with it the sound capabilities of phones.

Lifestyle – You just think you are dependent upon your mobile phone now. The phones of tomorrow will have so many useful features that you will soon wonder how you ever lived before they were developed. Traffic reports and alternative routes will be emailed to you on your phone. You will place your morning coffee and bagel order on your way to work. Picking it up will take no time at all because you will simply aim your phone at the reader and the money will come out of your account. You will preset your air conditioning and heating to come on and off based upon your arrival and departure times. Your phone will anticipate your grocery needs and weekly menus. It will create a shopping lists and budget for the week.

Speed readers go about their thing in a variety of ways like not vocalizing all words, making out words without recognizing every letter in each word and quickly skimming through the text. Each reader will have methods that come more in a more instinctual way and they’ll unveil themselves with practice and time. Overall, the goal is to get your eyes to move at a faster rate and recognize words quickly.

Skimming is the process by which a reader visually searches through the text for clues to the meaning of the article. Generally, this is not the best method for dense informational texts because comprehension rate is usually lower. On the other hand, it allows for a quick overview of the text and its essential meaning.

Meta guiding is another method, perhaps the most widely taught, that speeds up the reading process. It consists of guiding the eye along the lines of text using another pointer like a finger or a pen. This method speeds up the movement of the eye and subdues subvocalization.

A first speed reading exercise to start with consists of using a pointer like your finger to make your eyes follow it across the paragraph to go faster. Moving the finger faster and faster will force the eyes to recognize the words faster and make reading a faster process.

Another exercise to try to attempt to learn a speed reading technique consists of quickly scanning through the material to look for key words attached to the essential meaning of the sentences. In essence, this is reading in blocks and is also done in other exercises which can become more complicated.

This third exercise needs a little bit of preparation time and some index cards. Blocks of words, phrases or sentence fragments will need to be written on the index cards. The exercise itself consists of reading what is written on the index cards instead of reading an integral text. During a few minutes, one must quickly scroll through the index cards while recognizing the set of words that are on every card. In practicality, this increases the recognition of words and accelerates the speed of reading fragments of sentences.

In general, in order for speed reading exercises to be effective, some time must be invested. A rule of thumb is that it is recommended to have a good level of energy and have a good level of concentration to practice these exercises. To see worth while results, it takes time and lots of practice. Reading really fast is possible all the while keeping a good comprehension and retention of what is being read.

Speed reading is a great asset to have in the academic and professional world. It is rather easy to teach and learn and is absolutely free. A little patience and some determination are all that are needed along with the key speed reading exercises.

Motorola has also redesigned the device so it has the appearance of a digital camera rather than a traditional cell phone. Reviews of the new design are mixed. Some users appreciate the new design, others are unimpressed. The eight megapixel camera is positioned on the back of the phone, and the quality produces images better than most camera phones. Similar to an Android phone, the menu key, back button, home and search buttons are all placed below the screen. Some users contend the phone has a very masculine design, and that it will appeal more to men and women.

The XT720 comes with Android 2.1 – a reliable operating system in itself, but nowhere near as powerful as devices like the HTC Desire or the Google Nexus One (which both come with a more powerful processor). Motorola realizes the shortfall and has made efforts to decrease the device’s overall loading and lag times. The XT720 comes with an integrated 512 MB of memory, with a microSD card slot capable of adding an additional 8 GB of external memory. The WVGA capacitive touch screen display measures 3.7 inches and offers 480 x 854 resolution. The overall measurements are 60.9mm x 115.95mm x 10.9mm, with a weight of 160 grams.

The 1390 mAH battery can supply up to thirteen days of standby time and 4.5 hours of talk time. If you already own an Android though, you know that it uses a chunk of energy and demands a frequently charged battery. To help bridge this shortfall, Motorola has a Multimedia Station (purchased separately) for charging the device while at a desk setting. The XT720 has an FM radio, in addition to supporting a range of multimedia files, including MPEG4, MP3, AAC, WMA, AMR, and ACC. Users will also appreciate the 3.5mm audio output to hook up their favorite pair of headphones.

Some people will still be wondering if the Motorola Milestone XT720 is worth purchasing. The answer depends on the size of your budget. The Motorola XT720 does not offer the same features and design as the Google Nexus One or the HTC Desire, which many tech-savvy users might prefer. However, if you have more concern about your budget, the Motorola Milestone XT720 is an appropriate and affordably priced alternative to more expensive choices.

Despite all the news of new financial regulations, read that as toothless, benign and ineffectual to protect the public from the sordid practices of the cagey banksters, according to this exclusive article in the current issue of Mother Jones magazine, the government agencies, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae along with the bailed out financial institutions are helping the hundreds of law firms around the country known as foreclosure mills, force people out of their homes.  We know of one firm that does 30 thousand foreclosures a year.

Why Do You Need broadband – First you need to take your household needs into consideration. If you do not use the internet for much more than email and occasional searches then you do not need an expensive broadband package, some providers will even offer plans at a discount for casual users. However, if you or your household uses the internet constantly you will want a broadband service that offers unlimited bandwidth.

What Services Are Available In Your Area – After you have decided what type of service would best suit your needs, you need to find a provider. If you have access to an internet connection, you can find any number of sites that will help you find a list of providers for your area and what deals they offer for broadband service. Available services may be impacted by several factors, such as proximity to a telephone exchange. If you live a great distance from an exchange, high speed broadband may not be possible. Another factor to keep in mind is whether or not your area has a cable connection.

Equipment Required – You will also have to take into consideration the additional equipment you may need. For example, if your home contains multiple computers that all need access to the internet you may want to invest in a wireless router. Make sure it is a route that allows for wired ethernet connections so that you can connect both your wireless-capable and non-wireless-capable computers to the same network and provide them all with internet access. You can purchase a wireless internet card or wireless internet accessory for your desktop computer if they are not wireless-capable, however most laptops come packaged with wireless connectivity built in.

Terms Of Service – Every broadband provider now has a broadband fair usage policy. Since every user must share the available bandwidth with other users (think of your bandwidth as a rental), there must be a plan in place to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a fast connection. The Fair Usage Policy will lay out the details of what type of restrictions or fees the company will impose and what events will trigger this. Typically, if you use more than your contract specifies or if you do most of your large downloading during peak times, the company will likely either cap how much broadband speed you may use or charge you an additional penalty. Be sure you read your contract through and understand what services you are entitled to and what behavior may lead to a restriction before you sign.

Now dimensions aside, that is not the only thing that makes the iPhone 4 spectacular. Apple really pulled all the stops for the iPhone 4. It features a 3.5 inch display just like its sibling, the iPhone 3GS, but the resolution has been upgraded to 960 x 640 pixels making the display super sharp and the clarity amazing. This is the absolute best picture quality that can be found currently on the market.

The Retina display is far better than any other type of smartphone screen you can find on the market – after all, it gets its name from the fact that it has a greater number of pixels than can be picked up by the human eye. iPads and iMacs have also carried over their in-plane-switching techniques to the screen of the iPhone 4, making the screen able to be viewed from more angles than ever before and allowing for maximum visibility and comfort – no more tilting the screen so you can see what is going on.

Apple employed its A4 CPU as the brain for the iPhone4 – the same one found in the iPad. By coupling it with the iOS 4 operating system, the iPhone 4 is able to deliver a wide range of new functions for the user. While users have long awaited multi-tasking ability, they will not be disappointed with the new capabilities of the powerful new iPhone. Just as Apple took its time in perfecting the copy and paste features before release, Apple has created a well-oiled multi-tasking phone that will not plague the user with constant lagging or freezing.

The iPhone 4 also has fantastic ways to use your still and video camera, now featuring a 5 megapixel camera in the body of the phone. What’s more, it comes with a backlit sensor, 5x integrated zoom, and an LED flash, as well as the ability to record 720p HD video at 30 fps, making it an amazing video camera. You can even use tap to focus on the video camcorder as well.

System Capacity – The majority of business telephone systems can handle about 24 telephone extensions in addition to about 12 incoming lines. In most cases, the components of smaller telephone systems may not be transferable to a larger system if you choose to upgrade in the future. If your business is expanding quickly and you think you will be hiring additional personnel in the coming months or years, it is a good idea to make the investment in a system that can handle your growing business needs.

Direct Lines – Direct lines allow calls to be made to members of individual members of staff with a dedicated telephone line, and they require a system that can handle ISDN. ISDN is available in most larger countries and provides services such as direct dialing and caller ID in addition to the ability to transfer calls off site whenever necessary.

Voicemail – With a direct line service you will often be able to get voicemail for each telephone handset in the office, for some systems you may be able to have more than simple voicemails, such as the ability to forward messages by email or simply to other phones. You will also want to make sure the voicemail capacity is enough to handle the amount of messages, and length of messages, you expect to get.

The Handset – The telephone handset is an important consideration in the purchase of a new telephone system since you use it every day, and it needs to be comfortable and easy to use. Some telephone system salesmen will sell you on a lower priced basic handset model. Although it may be difficult to spend more on a higher priced model, you may find that it is well worth the investment. More use-friendly telephone handsets might offer better sound quality, may come with more features and may last longer than a cheaper version.

Installation – Once you have decided what system you wish to go for, all that is left is to have it installed. The company you buy the system from will doubtless offer an installation service but they may not necessarily be the best option. You can get a different service to install the system if you wish who may be more adept at installing it to your requirements. There is no point spending money on a new telephone system only to have it installed in a half hearted manner. Ensuring it is installed properly and that the connections create a high quality line to talk on is important.

Although broadband connections speeds are always increasing; the limiting factor to the attainable speeds is a country’s telecommunications infrastructure. By using copper cables installed for telephone use, broadband initially was able to offer connection speeds massively increased from dial-up connections, though what is needed now is an optical cable system that can transfer data at rates far higher than any copper connection can achieve.

One particularly resourceful way of increasing broadband speeds is by using current electrical power lines to send data. Because internet data is transferred at a different frequency than electricity, the power grid of a country can be utilized to also connect people to the internet. However, there is at least one issue that needs to be overcome if it is going to be a success. Recent test have shown that when data is transmitted through overground, poorly insulated cables, the broadband data transfer can disrupt nearby radio signals, particularly those that are used by amateur radio operators. It could be possible, though, for a broadband connection to be established just by plugging into an electrical outlet and enjoying possible access speeds of up to 200Mbps.

Along with the possibility of using BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) is the newest incarnation of mobile broadband, WIMAX. WIMAX, also known as 4G, will be a vast improvement on the previous versions of mobile broadband that have been available for some time now. The speeds that WIMAX could offer could possibly make broadband access through cables a thing of the past. How does 70 Megabits per second at a distance of 30 miles from a transmitter sound?

One other route that users may be able to take in the future in order to access broadband at a higher speed is by satellite. There are currently millions of people around the world that utilize satellite technology to watch television programs. These connections could also be used to transmit internet data at speeds of up to 3 Gigabits per second, that is 3000 Megabits per second (around 375 Megabytes per second). There are 2 problems facing the use of this technology, the weather and the cost. As most satellite television viewers know, bad weather can play havoc with signal reception and in some cases disrupt it totally. The cost of the equipment for receiving broadband internet access via satellite could also cost in excess of $2500, and would also be charged on a monthly basis, which is much too expensive for the majority of users even with the huge attainable speeds.

To sum up, don’t worry if you are still finding that your broadband connection is not quick enough for your needs, the future holds some impressive advances in technology that will mean the end of blank white screens and video buffering.

Convenience and portability – Mobile broadband is very convenient to use. You can connect to the internet from any location so long as you have a device with mobile broadband capabilities, a computer and a network reception.

No land line necessary- Although internet speeds through a fixed land line are fast, they do not have the mobility of a 3G connection. It could be possible in the future for everyone to be receiving a 3G connection to their homes, thus nullifying the use of a fixed line.

Flexibility – Another great advantage to connecting to a 3G mobile broadband network is its flexibility. You can use any number of modem devices to connect using any number of different computing devices such as desktops, notebooks or netbooks. Whether you are at work, at home or even on holiday, mobile internet broadband is just a few clicks away.

Providing a fake address or an address where you do not live can be proved very costly.

In today’s technologically advanced world, there are millions of ways of conducting a phone number search. Some websites gives you a complete control over their bulk database. This database includes the name/addresses of all the registered telephone numbers. These telephone numbers varies in digits and type depending upon its usage. Mostly used telephone numbers are that of local public. Other telephone numbers include business telephone numbers which are either golden number or somehow secret.

Why did we end up like this? The revolutionary war was a end result of individuals who had been pushed to their breaking point with regulations and ever growing taxes. Sound familiar? This began with the Boston tea-party in which the tea was dumped into the harbor. Citizens then as currently do not like to have the money from their work taken from them and then spent on things they don’t believe in. It was that way then and it is that way right now. You can not change human nature. People are endowed with rights by the creator and one of those rights is liberty. The founding fathers had no idea that the totalitarianism of King George would ever be able to rot America ever again. They carefully wrote our constitution to prevent it from happening.

What they didn’t comprehend is that the country would shift away from the grace of God to a humanist philosophy of elites deciding what is best for the masses. As excellent as the constitution was, no document is any good if the leaders sworn to defend it simply overlook it. That is what has occurred. Every year little by little, we lose more of our freedoms. Each year more new laws and rules are forced on us that can imprison us should they be enforced. The undermining of our free market system began after world war II when soviet spies were given positions in our government. Read a great book by Ann Coulter called Treason for an in depth history of how that occurred.

Which brings us to today and the proliferation of the tax day Tea Party April 15 events everywhere. These are not the kooks and extremists that the evening news would have you believe. No these are actually the traditional average Americans who know what freedom and liberty are, and see it slipping away. They are not from any one party. They include members from at the very least 5 parties from all walks of life, race and religions. When a community hospital closes it’s doors because some law requires them to treat for free non citizens, that isn’t racist, that is a legitimate hardship to individuals. When it is taught in schools that abortion is a choice yet wearing a seat belt is not a choice, there is something not right. When legislation is going through capitol hill that something a person says can land that person in jail under the classification of hate speech, then something is wrong.

Massachusetts is known as the most socialist sympathetic state as a whole in America. It is nicknamed Taxachusetts. Since the current government with super majorities in both houses can do whatever it wants in theory, this makes millions of people edgy. When it was learned that this government was going to bankrupt the nation with socialized health care, in which each voter would be required to buy no matter how poverty-stricken, the rebellion of the tea-parts even reached into Taxachusetts. Scott Brown, a liberal republican promised to halt the hated health care takeover and he won the election by a sizable margin.

In 1975 Henry Edward Roberts, called “Ed” by friends, family and associates, through his company Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems or MITS; brought his computer to the public with the help of Bill Gates and Paul Allen who developed the language, BASIC, and wrote the program to operate the machine.

Ultimately  Roberts’ machine would become the PC we’re all using today. The BASIC language of the machine’s operating system (OS) has become the Microsoft Windows operating system we all know and some love to hate.
In a released joint statement from Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the two remember their colleague:

“Ed was willing to take a chance on us — two young guys interested in computers long before they were commonplace — and we have always been grateful to him… The day our first untested software worked on his Altair was the start of a lot of great things. We will always have many fond memories of working with Ed in Albuquerque, in the MITS office right on Route 66 — where so many exciting things happened that none of us could have imagined back then.”~Paul Allen Bill Gates on the death of their associate Dr. Henry Edward Roberts.

Another interesting fact about Ed Roberts is, after selling the company in 1977 he returned to Wheeler County, Georgia, where he’d spent summers as a youngster with his grandparents. He purchased a farm and became a gentleman farmer. As fate would have it he was presented with an opportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a medical doctor.

Mercer University, located near Roberts’ home,  began a medical school training program in 1982. Ed Roberts was among the first to enroll and graduate. In 1986 he received his M.D.. He completed his residency as an internist and established his practice in Cochran, Georgia, a small town near Macon.

Dr. Roberts died of pneumonia in a hospital in Macon, Georgia. He was 68 years-old.

” I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, ‘They’re looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They’re looking for food.’ And, you know, it’s been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I’ve tried to turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch. I’ve even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I’m calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help — with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way — and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us!”

“George Bush doesn’t care about black people!”

~Kanye West, musical artist, during fund raising event in the aftermath of the devastating hurricane Katrina on NBC live telecast Friday, September 2, 2005

We assembled the smartest people on our staff to view and discuss the following controversial 39 second video clip:

George W. Bush appears to have wiped his hand on Bill Clinton’s shirt after shaking hands with a crowd of Haitians.
The conclusion of our gathered collective brain trust is Kanye West was right.

If seeing is believing we think the preceding video is proof positive George H.W. and Barbara’s first born is a racist. Not that right thinking people needed any additional proof of his bigoted ways.

Kanye’s statements on the evening of September 2, 2005, when NBC’s levees broke, seem to have been very accurate. Five years later when NBC is an acronym for “Nothing But Controversy”; and the whole world can watch via YouTube or on any blogger’s site, including this one, how in lieu of hand sanitizer the former president GWB, aka “President Dumbya”, could not resist wiping his hand on the shirt of another former president, who erroneously is called by some “America’s first black president” we have evidence of how George W. Bush really feels about dark skinned people of African descent.

We saw how well George related to President and Mrs. Obama when he greeted them at the White House during the administration transition.

We’ve been allowed to see him interact with President Obama and the other past presidents, Carter and Clinton at a luncheon last year at the White House.

We were shocked when it was announced George and Bill would be working together to raise money for the people of Haiti. We realize Bill is a closet Republican, better known as a Dixie-crat. George knows he is in competition with Bill for G.H.W. Bush’s attentions. As if it isn’t enough to have to compete with JEB for Daddy Bush’s love-
” ’cause everybody knows JEB is the smart one”.

We’re just saying with all the lies being perpetrated by the die-hard members of the G.O.P about how caring the former president is for poor people and some black people who aren’t even poor for us the video makes all their claims null and void.

We want to thank our cleverly comic friends at The Onion for providing this wonderful, and on some level salient, video piece spoofing the news. They’re telling it like it T-I-S!

DISCLAIMER: Be advised the language may be offensive to some, so turn down the volume, or pop in those ear buds/headphones for privacy if your grandma, or your boss is within earshot. This piece is hilarious. Enjoy!

Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere

The Vatican’s chief exorcist for 25 years, 85 year old Father Gabriele Amorth says:

“When one speaks of ‘the smoke of Satan’ [a phrase coined by Pope Paul VI in 1972] in the holy rooms, it is all true – including these latest stories of violence and paedophilia.”

As the president of honour of the Association of Exorcists, Father Amorth attributes  70,000 cases of demonic possession to the consequences of satanic infiltration. This includes power struggles at the Vatican along with  “cardinals who do not believe in Jesus, and bishops who are linked to the Demon”.

No doubt it’s the devil in the details as to why so many Roman Catholics do not practice their beliefs nor regularly attend weekly services or confession.

And there you have it.  The Vatican’s version of unsolved mysteries; only this time the mystery has been solved.
The devil made them do it!

Gabourey Sidibe is  young, vivacious and beautiful. Let’s commend her fine award winning, Golden Globe and Oscar nominated performance. Her portrayal of an abused, emotionally challenged urban female youth brought attention to the issues of child abuse, mental illness and poor nutrition, features of home life for too many American families.

While we applaud her success can we just give the lady a break on the assessment of her appearance? There is no doubt Ms Sidibe is aware she is fat. There I said it. Just like she knows she’s intelligent, witty, clever, acclaimed for her work on film, she knows she is a dark skinned African American female who is overweight. She disclosed in an interview with Oprah she was on her first diet to lose weight at age six years old.

“It’s something I’ve had to work at. My first diet started when I was six years old. I’ve never been a small girl. One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body.”~ Gabourey (Gabby) Sidibe in an interview with Oprah Winfrey November 2009

How could she not know these things about herself? These are facts she has lived with for all of her 24 years. Nearly a quarter of a century of knowing who she is and what she looks like. Gabourey says when she was 21 or 22  she finally became comfortable in her own skin.

“I got tired of feeling bad all the time. I got tired of hating myself.”~ Gabourey (Gabby) Sidibe in an interview with Oprah Winfrey November 2009

It’s because she is self aware she is confident to successfully perform the work she does.

Gabourey Sidibe, like many American black people, knows she is black; and like many overweight Americans, black,  white or any other race, she knows she is fat.

What Ms Sidibe has done in addition to providing a stellar film performance, and showing the world her lovely personality and her spunky youth as she promotes the movie and other projects, she has brought to our attention two important issues. One issue is child abuse and the other our poor eating habits.

Whether the abuse is mental, sexual or physical, child abuse can be prevented. Remember hurt people hurt people. There are means to helping those who have been hurt by helping them to understand themselves, helping them to heal so they stop abusing themselves and those they love.

Yes, Gabourey Sidibe is fat. There are many actors who are fat who are taking some kind of drug to suppress their appetites to keep their poundage low with no guarantee this will insure they are hired for the next big teevee or blockbuster movie role.

I am equally concerned for those anorexic, bulimic looking actresses and models who every week, every month grace the covers of popular magazines. I believe they are as unhealthy as the ones we call obese.

I say let’s have a national conversation about changing the way our foods are preserved and processed. I say let us have a national conversation that leads us to demand the food supply is clean and free of fat inducing sugars and chemicals. We can do this if we are really as concerned about the matter of childhood obesity, and adult obesity along with other preventable health issues.

As for Gabourey Sidibe, and the equally unhealthy skinny dolls in the entertainment industry they have been sufficiently told about their appearance, as if they did not already know. Let them choose of their own accord to lose the weight,  gain weight or do nothing about their weight. They are all grown ups. Let these people be who they wish to be.

They’re adults and this is after all America–land of the free, home of the brave, anorexic or fat if we choose to be.

However, when we viewed what happened we could not believe our eyes. Of all the reports we found we liked this one video report because of the fairness of the presentation–both sides were told and we liked the frumpy looking anchor’s closing remarks. Watch and you’ll see what we mean…

There is no doubt this is a family who put the D-I-S in disrespect,  or the D-Y-S and the  F-U-N in dysfunction.

Our favorite quote from the shop owner,

“They don’t know how to deal with things in the United States. They think they in Fallujah or the mountains of Iraq or somewhere.”

His comments not only give us a hint as to the ethnicity of the people who attacked his store; it tells of the cultural difference between the bride, her family and the businessman and his family.

This statement also reminds us it’s one thing to come to the United States to be free; we must be mindful of the many strange customs to be learned that make assimilation a real challenge , too.

For example asking to have a gown valued at more than one thousand dollars on credit or even using a credit card that is not your own–it’s in the name of someone who is not present at the shop with you–these are unacceptable practices  in the U.S. Throwing a hissy-fit, making threats assaulting the shop owners  and tearing up their place of business is an even less than acceptable behavior in these United States. If they do not know they certainly need to ask somebody. Hot ghetto mess demeanor is not the way to go.

We suggest a suitable punishment for the perpetrators would be for the groom (??) and his boyz to be confined to the local jail on the day of the wedding; the nuptials will have to be held at the jail house for all the trouble they caused. The bride should be made to wear the government issued orange or blue incarceration jumpsuit to match her groom and his groomsmen, for her part in instigating the melee. In fact the traditional black and white broad horizontal striped garb would be suitable for the occasion- a wedding behind bars. Black and white is a very chic fashion statement!

Remember, if you want to clown in public you may receive your fleeting fifteen minutes of fame notoriety on the Internet as a featured YouTube video.

We’re still trying to figure out why after all this time we are still hearing from, people are talking about,and we are seeing almost everywhere reports about Sarah “The Quitter” Palin. Take a look at
this video excerpt from a recent episode of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central…..

Which brings us to Palin’s use of the word “satire”. She says the big fat guy on the radio was using satire when he referred to liberals as being retarded. She says it wasn’t an insult. She says President Obama’s Chief Of Staff should be fired for his use of the same word in a private conversation because she’s offended by his use of the word. Was he talking to her? About her?

We are pleased to accept Stephen Colbert’s invitation to say Sarah “The Terrah” Palin-the former Alaska governor is an effin’ retard!

“Failure is not a word I accept”~ John H. Johnson, Publisher

John H. Johnson was an American businessman, founder of the Johnson Publishing Company. He was the chairman of Johnson Publishing Company and he also chaired the Fashion Fair Cosmetics Company, a company created by his wife Eunice Walker Johnson.

Under his leadership both Jet and Ebony Magazines flourished. Readership and circulation grew every year from 1945 the year in which they were first published.

The magazines were named by his wife Eunice and the start-up money came from a $500 loan  from his mother. She allowed Johnson to use her furniture as collateral for the loan.

His business success is nothing short of meteoric. He rose from the depths of poverty, spending a short time on the welfare rolls to becoming the first Black African American to be included in the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans.

“Indomitable spirit”, that is how many describe Johnson’ secret to success. He was creative and innovative. He always found a solution. when faced with blatant racial discrimination when he was denied approval to buy a lot in downtown Chicago, Johnson hired a white attorney to buy the property in trust for him.  By this action he became the first black to construct a major structure in Chicago’s bustling downtown business area.

From President Bill Clinton, John H. Johnson received the nation’s highest  civilian award  the Presidential Medal Of Freedom.

During his business career because of his business expertise Johnson was chosen to serve as director of several important American corporations including Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Continental Banks and Dillard’s Department Stores. He was also a trustee of United Negro College Fund and the Conference of Christians And Jews.

John H. Johnson  is recognized as the first entrepreneur to acknowledge the
awesome buying power of the Black African American consumer.

“We use the ability to lower the armrests as the gauge, as the armrests are truly the definitive boundary between each seat.”

Blanche Africa Reilly Dark has her say about Southwest Airlines and movie director Kevin Smith.

Over the past weekend the Internet was all a buzz with news a young fat movie director was ejected in a manner he considers inappropriate whether he is a well known fat dude flying the people’s airline or just one of the unknown people who fly affordable air transportation. I should add right here I agree with Smith. The disrespect and humiliation demonstrated toward him was absolutely unacceptable! It’s unsatisfactory to be rude to any paying customer in any industry.

According to Southwest Airlines own web site this policy for “customers of size”–read that phrase as a euphemism for fat, overweight or obese,  has been followed “for 29 of our 38 years of operation, but only became more vigilant regarding the additional purchase when we began seeing an increase in the number of valid complaints from passengers who traveled without full access to the seat purchased because a large Customer infringed upon the adjacent seating space.”

Many Americans are overweight. Many airline seats are too small and uncomfortable to accommodate regular size, “normal” size, American travelers. Seventeen inches wide indeed!  My office desk chair is an inch wider. It does not mean I wish to sit in it for a two hour flight!

I believe Smith and his wife when they say he’s got the body of a stout fellow; that he’s not a  portly man whose body can be accurately described as one encroaching into another passenger’s territory .

“.Purchasing two seats on Southwest Airlines is significantly less expensive than purchasing one first class seat on another airline..” from the Southwest Airlines web site Customer Of Size Q & A page

I believe Smith when he says he buys two seats on the regular because he can afford to do so to insure his traveling privacy and comfort given the seats are really small.

To end this controversy I suggest there be a scale to weight passengers, just like the luggage is weighed, before the board the aircraft.

A tip to the heavyweights who choose air travel over car, bus or train, make sure you’re not the last fat chick or fat dude to board the plane.

I say this because as I listened to Kevin Smith’s description of his experience of Southwest Airlines poor customer service it became quite clear he was, as a passenger flying on stand-by status, the last fat man to board the plane. This by no means justifies the maltreatment he received.

In fact it is a call for larger seats, and more respect for the not so skinny average American traveler. Shame on you Gary Kelly and your band of corporate associates. All your platitudes and lofty musings have not trickled down to the rank and file as courteous action. Tsk! Tsk!

Blanche predicts more passengers will begin to ditch Southwest and book flights with the competition.

Unless Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly, Greg Crum, VP Operations, who I understand is responsible for those who interact with the public, as well as Matt Hafner, (Ground Operations executive) and Mike Hafner, (Inflight Services); –I wonder are those two brothers?… and company can reinvigorate in their personnel with some of that Southwest Airlines culture– the “warrior spirit”, “a servant’s heart” and that well promoted “fun-LUVing attitude” along with some real love toward the flying public whether they are Kate Moss skinny, Moni’que big or chubby like comedian Earthquake or hefty like Ralphie May.

If you ignore this matter Southwest Airlines could go the way of Pan Am.

“We are the world, we are the children…”
Lionel Richie

In March of 1985 forty-five American singing stars gathered at the A&M music studio to record a song composed by the late Michael Jackson and lyricist Lionel Richie. The featured singers from several genres of music joined to make a record that would be sold to raise money for the charity USA For Africa. They raised over $30 million to help the less fortunate overseas.

On February 1, 2010 a new generation of celebrities, count’em 80, singers, actors, and the like–joined by some old school participants from the first recording, have gathered to do a remake of the original song We Are The World. This time money raised will go the benefit the survivors of last month’s devastating earthquake in Haiti. The organization is We Are The World 25 For Haiti.

“There’s a choice we’re making.
We’re saving our own lives…”-Lionel Richie

Nearly twenty-five years after the initial recording of the song created by the late Michael Jackson with lyrics by Lionel Richie, a new generation of Hollywood celebrities, singers, actors, models and people just known for being known, gathered to record a remake of the song that raised in 1985 more than $30 million for the charity USA For Africa.

This new crop of celebrities met on February 1, 2010, almost 25 years after the first gathering headed by music producer Quincy Jones, to record the cover to raise money for the survivors of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti.

We’ve decided to revisit the original recording from 1985:

We’ve posted the lyrics indicating which artist is singing what part.

Lionel Richie
There comes a time when we heed a certain call

We are the world….

See if you can recognize who is present for the historic session from twenty-five years ago. In the next article we will take a look at the 2010 version We Are The World 25 for Haiti.

The first person of black African descent to travel in space was the Cuban cosmonaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez, who is also the first Hispanic in space.

Guion “Guy” Bluford, now retired from NASA and the Air Force since 1993, currently serves as vice president and general manager of the Science and Engineering Group,  Aerospace Sector of Federal Data Corporation in Maryland. Dr. Bluford has received  many honors not the least of which was his 1997 induction into the International Space Hall of Fame .

This Pennsylvania State University grad
holds degrees in aerospace engineering, including a doctorate with a minor in laser physics, is the veteran of four shuttle flights where he performed the tasks of mission specialist and flight engineer.

Guion Bluford is an Eagle Scout, and retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, who is also a member of Omega Si Phi fraternity with more than 600 hours logged in outer space.

We want you to know and remember Martin Luther King, Jr was substantive, not just a dreamer. He was a strategist and a man of action who used the same principles as India’s Gandhi, to lead the greatest movement for equality and freedom the world has ever seen. There is a difference between non-resistance and non-violent resistance to evil acts.

The late Dr. King, a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, inspired a national movement and a worldwide following.

This landmark presentation delivered by the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr describes the conditions that brought about the public demonstration by thousands of Americans, of all races and religions, to change the policy of the times. He implores the government to remove the barriers that limit freedom for anyone who is not white.

He expresses the purpose for the gathering. He eloquently explains what is desired by the national black community.

Note how he predicts continued unrest if the demand for equal rights is not adequately addressed and soon. The philosopher reminds those who protest the racist policies to remain peaceful but steadfast. King also speaks of the interconnectedness of both blacks and whites.

And in the end he describes his dream and his hope the nation will live up to its full promise allowing freedom to ring from every mountain, village, hamlet, city, and state.
