Microsoft Brings Down Vista Prices 2008-03-06 10:35:00 In an effort to push up sales of the ill-fated Vista
, Microsoft
has announced a slash in the prices of stand-alone Windows Vista packs. This announcement will be effective along with the shipment of its first update to Vista, Service Pack 1, in March.The strategy will be different in developed and emerging markets. Price-drops in the US and other developed markets will be for the upgrade versions, and many people might not even see a difference, if one factors in already-existing discount offers. In emerging markets, like India, Microsoft will eliminate the distinction between the full and upgrade versions of Vista Home Basic and Home Premium.The strategy for poorer countries seems to make sense because many people in these markets have never bought a genuine copy of Windows; if Microsoft Read more:Prices

Backlinks To Your Sites Are All Important To Your Google PR And How To Place Them Effectively 2008-03-01 12:27:00 Backlinks are probably one of the most critical factors when getting a high PR rating by Google
. Gone are the days of meta tags and in came the introduction of keywords, but spammers obviously soon started to exploit this. A backlink is simply your link at the bottom of another websites page.But how does this work?HOT TIP: Type your keyword into Google and then click on the number one ranked site.

How Teleconferencing Works : Introduction to How Teleconferencing Works 2008-03-13 13:50:00 In the past few years, corporations have gotten bigger and more spread out. Many American employees -- more than 44 million in 2004 -- also do at least some of their work from home [ref]. Since offices and employees can be thousands of miles apart, getting everyone into the same room for meetings and training has become decidedly impractical for a lot of companies. That's why teleconferencing -- the real-time exchange of information between people who are not in the same physical space -- has become such a big industry. The American audio conferencing industry alone reported $2.25 billion in revenue in 2004 [ref]. Through teleconferencing, companies can conduct meetings, customer briefs, training, demonstrations and workshops by phone or online instead of in person. In this article, we' Read more:Introduction

Use of VoIP in Amateur Radio 2008-03-13 13:43:00 Think of amateur radio, or ham radio, as an early version of the Internet. Using a worldwide network of radio towers, antennas and transceivers, amateur radio enthusiasts are able to communicate with fellow hobbyists around the globe, sometimes by voice and sometimes by Morse code. Amateur
or ham radio operators can use VoIP technology to set up temporary stations such as this one used by the Red Cross following Sept. 11. Amateur radio is limited by the distance that radio waves can travel. To send a signal to the other side of the world requires calculated timing and more than a little bit of luck. Every 11 years, for example, there's a peak in the number of sunspots produced by the sun, which increases the intensity of somethin Read more:Radio
