Small business owners know they need internet presence, but what many people don’t realize–often until it’s too late–is that there’s a big difference between a website and a web page. When many business owners think they’re getting a website, they’re actually getting a web page. Web pages are generally low cost or free, but they share space with other people. This means the options are limited, speeds can be slow, but it’s a good choice for a very small business. A “shared hosting account” is a great way to save money, but there are of course risks. There’s a reason people can get one of these accounts…

The legendary Porsche 911 is rich with history and beloved by passionate automotive enthusiasts throughout the world. The 911, the eventual replacement for the 356 and first  produced in 1963, surpassed its predecessor in sales, longevity, and glory.

To understand the legend of the Porsche 911, consider that the vehicle has been cited in at least 71 movies. So, what makes the 911 so special? The automobile offers lasting value, top-level engine performance,…

Everyday you’re confronted with germs, bacteria, and viruses that have the potential to make you very ill. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to stay away from all these germs, but it is possible to kill a significant amount of these germs and prevent the spread of unwanted bacteria. Every year in the United States food borne illnesses cause 76 million illnesses, 325,00 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths. However, not only food borne illness will cause you to become sick. There are germs crawling all over your everyday used items. Before you even leave your house to start your day, you’re confronted…

Once upon a time… okay, it doesn’t really start off that way for we all know that the alarm clock is no fairy tale, they are very real. In fact, most of us would not have been able to get out of bed this morning without one. Who knew that something so small could make such a loud sound that wakes us so abruptly from our peaceful sleep? However, it did not begin that way for us humans; we used other means to wake us from our slumber long before the alarm clock. …

Remember the days when car safety was made up of just seatbelts, no airbags? Or when we HAD to listen to the three radio stations offered in our area? Today, most vehicles come with a vast array of features that provide us choices in how safe we want our vehicles and in the way we listen to music, all thanks to technology. …

Most gamers would agree the size and quality of the display plays an important role in both the competitive capabilities of the gamer as well as the overall experience. Big screens, loud speakers, and a proper environment can improve on the fun as well as keep from hampering one’s gaming prowess. For F1 racing fans, there’s really only one way to go: a 160-inch curved screen accompanied by a Thrustmaster T 500 RS racing wheel. Total cost: $114,285. Check out the video with a drool rag in hand. …

In 2011, the boom of startups following in the footsteps of an economy showing signs of recovery filled the pages of craigslist looking for talent. While other sectors were still struggling with unemployment, the tech startup world was competing for top people. Now, with the economy looking even better (despite bad gas prices) and tech-related professions showing a demand above the rest of the field, there’s a sense amongst the potential employees that they have choices. Many are willing to move to the places where opportunities exist. While California still has a stranglehold on tech, there…

Investing in technology is always a gamble. It goes up and down, both in the amount of money invested as well as the number of investors themselves. We’ve recently seen a large influx of money being invested that has been replaced by a more recent freeze due to America’s financial woes. That can be expected. What isn’t as expected (and much more alarming) is the increase in the number of employees at the tech companies themselves cashing out their shares. There’s nothing better than inside information. Insider trading may be illegal, but when employees with equity sell of their shares, it’s a sign…

Alright, let’s play a game of ‘Guess the Ancient Tech’. What is this box on a forklift? Believe it or not, it’s not a washing machine, electric stove, refrigerator, or other kitchen appliance. Frankly, I think all those were much smaller than this by 1956, which is the date of this photograph. Give up? One more hint: you probably have one in your pocket right now. Believe it or not, this is the HDD of IBM’s 305 RAMAC supercomputer – a device packing a HUGE FIVE MEGABYTES. Yep. This box is dedicated to housing 5MB of data. And it weighs over a ton. You might, for instance, wish to store a single 5-minute MP3…

There, I said it. The tech industry needs more women to get in and make things right again. It’s way too male dominated and it doesn’t have to be. Over half of the professionals in the United States are women. They account for nearly 50% more college degrees than men. With this kind of knowledge, how is it right that less than 20% of the working computer hardware engineers are men? Answer: it isn’t. This graphic by our friends at SocialCast lays the foundation for why the tech world needs more women. Pay attention – we should expect to see this male-dominated industry fall to the females soon enough. …
