Heavy The Fall - Chicago band worth seeing.....

One part of being a duplicator is watching the different types of bands and groups pass through your fingers looking for the next big rainbow. Those big dreams of selling thousands of CDs. HTF is applying a real business approach we would like to see others adopt, order what you need, rotate the inventory. Visit their page an if your in Schaumburg, IL this Friday try something new.....

Firefox: Yes we do have a option....

At the Southern California Linux Expo, (SCALE) Chris Blizzard of Mozilla provided insight into the future of the Firefox web browser. Firefox's mobile potential - caught my eye. Thanks again to the people @arstechnica.com for providing this update.

As the Mobile World Conference kicks off in Barcelona Spain (Feb 11-13) we need to take a step back an view one small application that continually is over looked - browser. Microsoft has taken every advantage to secure that and ensure (like PCs) you don't have an option. Apple - took care of iPhone, but what about the new players hoping to enter this market. In our opinion, if Mozilla continues to just rely on downloads, Open Source will miss another opportunity to move forward in today's enterprises. Google I hope your reading this, someone has to challenge Microsoft on all fronts, Mobile units are the platform that needs something other than MS solutions.

Distribution of content also entails portable devices, i.e. USB Flash Drive

As a duplicator we get many different request(s) and manufactures are always on the look out for new markets. Supporting their VAR Channel Market first of course.

Microboards, Minneapolis, MN takes a page out of the NEC Sales Manual. Pricing and Availability April 2008. Create the demand prior to shipment and pre-sell everything. With the explosive use of USBs which at times can envy James Bond. MB looks to catapult themselves ahead in this potential market. But what about security of the data?

Welcome in IronKey, what I like is the companies path of
first standardizing your portable media, then secure it. Many CIOs get a rude awakening when they see 5 different types of portable media carrying a companies{or some case personal} information, knowing full well (2) of those units have only the protection of someones pocket.

2008 is the year of mobility, atleast for us. Wireless Virtual World is upon us. Hopefully in the coming months some core issues of mobile work force or working from "any location" can make great strides in the work place. Old school sometimes has this brick and mortor it just cannot shake. The real problem is the people, who can and who cannot.

Flash drives have attacted themselves. We have gone from transfering data between units, too online access. Truthfully I prefer online access, my dream situation:

Lake Winnebago, Wis - Western shore line, late May. Wife hunting her bluegil or perch while I look for Walleye. Notebook, Wireless, SmartPhone just off shore from a bar/grill that is actually a "Hot Spot" for more than
fish. Camera on the Notebook, SmartPhone, heck Camera is in the boat just haven't figured how to relay the signals and go live.

Descendants of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse break away from US

"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America" - Native American state of 72,000 people declares independence from the US - 'claim legal under treaties with Government'. Glad to see my casino dollars being put to some good use. Surprised?, this day was coming and truthfully long over due. The world agrees on a UN Resolution, except U.S. Human Rights as a people must be respected
