Stockwire


This post is sponsored by www.stockwire.com .
Anyone who wants to try the investing water without being intimidated should visit www.stockwire.com and the company’s mission statement itself The MySpace for the Penny Stock Investor! would put anyone at ease. The company is not out to be appealing to the youth population only, because anyone who visits the site will find out it will compete head on with many of the other company sites that are dealing with penny stocks, which would mean everyone is welcome. Penny stock trading is a slightly different breed because it is dealing with startups and small to midsize companies that will grow to become large companies, but while they grow and meet the requirements trading in pennies stocks will give them some of the capital they need. But it is a different story for investors since it is possible to make a lot of money, because a small amount of money could buy a lot of stock and when those companies start doing well there is a huge profit to be made. It is not only those who have limited resources that will be benefited from penny stock trading, in fact it is those that have a lot of money and savvy that will be benefited from penny stocks trading, because the more money invested the more profit could be made.

The site has made being registered very simple, it does not take time, and for those who are new to penny stock trading there is a 101 that is very helpful. Then once registered, it is possible to participate in their blog where asking questions, swapping ideas, and experiences is possible. There is also a section that covers companies that are selling penny stocks and it is helpful to make an informed decision. The market data section avails members what is taking place in the marketplace and anything new and important will be touched on.

Then will come the trading lounge where the trading takes place that is accessible by registered users only and it is similar with the other online stock trading sites where it is possible to buy and sell in real time, one of the conveniences where the executions take only seconds. To cap it up all for those who are serious traders they would have their own newsletter that will reach their box regularly with news that are pertinent to penny stock trading so that they do not have to scour the Internet for information saving them time. What this means is anyone contemplating investing in stocks should visit The MySpace for the Penny Stock Investor!.

Flying Car to the Rescue

The idea is not new, it goes back more than 50 years, and what it is aiming at is to give the vehicle what choppers are lacking or to give choppers what they are lacking, namely to fly low in urban areas where their exposed rotor will put them at risk and the idea is to replace the rotors with encased fans enabling the vehicle to get closer to buildings such as skyscrapers when a rescue mission is needed. What brought the flying car in the spotlight is someone in Israel has started working on it with the hope that the vehicle will be used in battlefield to rescue wounded soldiers. There are companies in the U.S. that had been working with similar concept but they still are not committed to it because of not knowing what kind of cost will be involved. One such company is Bell that had exhibited a mock-up X-Hawk at the 2006 Farnborough air show and the company is not yet convinced it will be feasible technically even if it believes there will be a huge market for it, simply because the technology could hit a snag. If the plan is successful the model that will carry two wounded soldiers could fetch $1.5 million whereas a military model carrying up to twelve people could fetch $12 million.

VoIP

This post is sponsored by www.encyclocentral.com


What is written here is about VoIP service that is found at VoIP, however for anyone who is interested to read on a big number of subjects that are mainly related to various businesses and the kind of service they avail, visiting www.encyclocentral.com is highly recommended because the site is loaded with articles that are dealing with a big number of subjects that are sorted alphabetically from A to Z and all it takes is to click on any alphabet to see what is placed in it or by simply clicking on the letter of the item that is searched it is possible to find out if it is included in the list. Sites such as Home Insurance and more could also be accessed.

To come back to what is started here VoIP that stands for Voice over the Internet Protocol; it is a telephone system that is made available over the Internet. All it requires is a hardware or a software, and if it is used with a hardware, the hardware being the phone all that is required is to connect it to the broadband modem or router and it is possible to make phone calls, whether the computer is on or off. However, an analog telephone adapter might be needed in some cases whereas some service providers will include it with their package where a good example is Vonage.

On the other hand, the software enables the users to make or receive phone calls by simply using a microphone. Depending on what kind of service that is obtained, sometimes it could be limiting because only those that are using the same software and are registered with similar programs could use the software to talk with each other, whereas there are others that avail a capability to call any number, the charge being free if it is made from one computer to another such as what is taking place with Skype. VoIP is still a recent technology that is hyped to eventually make telephone use free. If you want to read such interesting articles all it takes is visiting www.encyclocentral.com .

Air Travel will Double in 2025

That number will reach to nine billion from the four billion where it is now. The forecast made by Airports Council International states that the number of passengers that will pass through the 1,650 airports its 567 members operate currently could grow at an average of four percent yearly. What will raise the figure could be what comes out of Asia that is growing by 9 percent yearly led by India and followed by China. By 2025, it is possible for Asia to challenge North America which last year had 1.5 billion travelers passing through its airports while the Asian airports had 897 million passengers. The Asian freight volume was 26 million, five million less than North America and it is expected to take the lead in the year 2025. However, aircraft movement will grow only an average of 2.8 percent simply because aircraft carrying a higher number of passengers are being built. There is an environmental concern in air travel too since it pollutes the air and contributes to the greenhouse effect.

EmoneyCentral

This post is sponsored by www.emoneycentral.com


There is a very important information compiled for anyone visiting www.emoneycentral.com and what a visitor will encounter at first glance is there is a list of banks that are unique even if they are all located in the U.S. and some of them are online banks only. What is important about the banks is their yield on savings accounts, where there is a list that shows which banks in the list are giving the highest yield for savings /money market accounts. There is also a list called checking account bonus box, it shows the amount of bonuses offered, and which banks are offering them. Then there is a section for high rate alert and it lists the highest rates offered at the various banks. There is also the list of the 50 states and in each state high rates offered by community banks and credit unions could be tracked by simply clicking on the links.

That is a lot of free service from one site and to cap it up all by simply visiting high yield savings accounts it is possible to compare which banks are offering the highest yield and which one of them have a minimum deposit requirement. The other important information offered is on CDs, certificate of deposits where CDs starting from three months up to five years are listed and by simply clicking the link all the information needed to make an informed decision is there. The name of the bank with the URL, the minimum deposit requirement, and the percentage of the yield are shown. All this is coupled with up to the minute information about the highest bank yields and new account bonus offers in a news format. What this means is anyone interested in these financial instruments should visit high yield savings accounts and save themselves a big hassle.

Nursing in Public

Of course, it means breast feeding in public and according to a report a poll conducted on close to 4000 people, 48% stated they do not mind whereas 30% said they feel uncomfortable around mothers who are breast-feeding. According to them, they should do it in private. An incident that took place in Rhodes Island where a security had to ask a nursing mother to go to the rest room refused and will tell him to call the state police and in fact it was proven that the Rhodes Island state law passed in 1998 does not consider nursing in public as an offensive behavior.

It is very difficult to draw a line because there are women who claimed to be offended when they encounter a nursing mother. Mothers had been protesting that not allowing them to do so would violate their rights, not to mention the babies’ health. And according to them, some cap will have to be put on considering the human body always as a sexual object. No matter how insisting mothers are about it, the first impression still is they cannot breast feed in public, and in almost all cases where a complaint had been filed there was always a polite excuse, but till date there is no a clear-cut rule that says if mothers feel so they can nurse in public.

Hoodia

 


This post is sponsored by www.naturalhealthhoodia.com


In a world that is disheartened by obesity where people really do not know what to do about gaining weight, the coming into the picture of hoodia that can be ordered from natural hoodia is a good news for a big number of people who had been trying many things to help them keep the weight away. The obesity problem had been blamed on so many things and one of them is the food people are eating that is laden with fattening substances and will have to introduce a strict regime of dieting in order to stay fit. If they make a slight mistake of missing their dieting program, they will go back to where they were very quickly. There had been a lot of medicine that were publicized to be helpful where some of them can depress the appetite, while others aid with the metabolism process helping the body to burn more calories. Some of them work and some of them do not.

While people are doing everything they can to control their weight, the coming into the picture of Certified Hoodia presented at pure hoodia is very good news for many because it does not have any complication. All it does is ward off hunger naturally, which is by simply using the formula that had been introduced by a Harvard educated doctor known as Certified Hoodia Gordoni anyone can control their appetite, which would lead to an effortless loss of weight.

The cactus like plant that grows in the Kalahari of South Africa had been used by the native bushmen to ward off hunger while they were going for prolonged hunting trips. Which means the plant itself has the ability to ward off hunger, however anyone can buy the formula that is prepared scientifically that is acclaimed to be the best remedy for obesity. Furthermore, “60 minutes” “Today’s Show” and “Oprah’s O magazine” have given it a wide coverage and publicity, and some say that is why Oprah is visiting that area frequently, because it has solved her weight problem. Do not wait any longer to put your hand on this product that you can find at natural hoodia with its 15 days free trial.

The Spam Bug

It depends on who is doing the labeling, because spammers are business people who have to sell to survive. The only exception is most of the recipients of their sales pitch could be the wrong prospects, hence are responsible for all the accusation. The reason why it is so is the email service providers have a means of telling whether an email is sent by a software or by a human being and when the system CAPTCHA that stands for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart finds out that the email has not originated from a human sender, it will label it as a junk mail making the deleting process for the recipient easy and can get rid of it with a click of a button.

Now the spammers or those who have to sell to make a living came up with a trick o circumvent this tough system. How are they doing it? Send images where the text should be imbedded in the images, because images alone cannot say everything, but they relay enough message, and the system cannot work with images because images do not have what this system is programmed to sniff, such as dollar signs. So, the war between those who are trying to make a living by selling and those who will be caught in the middle will continue until those in charge come up with another system to keep the inboxes from filling up.

Payment for Wikipedia Entries

The individual who is solely in charge of the publication where anyone can post what they think is worth writing about is not bugging about allowing entries that were paid for. The case on hand was when Microsoft tried to pay someone to rewrite a material posted about the company that it thought lacks technicality. The problem of doing so according to Wales who in charge of the publication is it will not be neutral, which means what a paid writer would submit is publicity, not a pure opinion that is not influenced by anything. Another individual named Koh who saw the lack of material about big businesses started what he called MyWikibiz where he will post material that he will write for big businesses that are willing to pay him and that got him a stern refusal from Wales who said when the volunteer editors encounter material that sounds like a publicity stunt it will be deleted. Others are saying monitizing Wikipedia to an extent might not do it any harm.

The reason why anyone would need a mail forwarding service similar to what is offered at remailing service is numerous and when we come to think of it, in addition to the convenience it adds it is also possible to circumvent those who could be snooping on a mail recipient that could be anybody.

PaydayLoans

 

This post is sponsored by www.paydaycashadvanceloans.biz


Most people must have heard about “payday loans” similar to what is offered at www.paydaycashadvanceloans.biz and some might try to avoid admitting their know their existence because as long as anyone has an income and a current account, the payday loan is available quickly. There is no worrying about bad credit the key requirement the other lenders want to be in good standing. Having access to such easy money might seem dangerous but unless the borrower pays the first loan, there is no access to more loans in any normal circumstance. But the reason why payday loans are dreaded is they charge a very high interest rate, 400% compared to 7% to regular loans and if the borrower misses the first payment it could become a nightmare because the interest itself will add up and will be compounded surpassing the principal. When that happens the first thing that will be damaged is the credit rating of the lenders because payday loan lenders will report the failure to pay to the credit bureau that would result in barring anyone from getting loan in the future. However, those who already have a bad credit will lose their only source to get quick money if they do not make their payment on time.

On the other hand those who can manage to pay their payday loans regularly for a prolonged period will have a good chance of repairing their bad credit if they had one, because other lenders who require the credit rating to be in good standing will have something on record they could look at. It is not only a record but it is an ability to pay one’s bill on time that would go a long way when approaching a traditional lender. Those who have not taken loan before would also be benefited from payday loans if they pay back on time, because it could be used as a credit history and credit rating. As a result sites such Payday Cash Advance Loans are there to help individuals, whether they are first time borrowers, or have bad credit ratings, or they could have good credit rating and want a quick money that they can pay back on the next pay day without going through a long process of obtaining a quick loan from other lenders that have a lot of requirements.

New Passport Rule

The passport rule will change effective January 23, for Americans who are coming back from visiting neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico. It is not anymore possible to come into the country using ID cards although still there are a few exceptions. Those Americans who do not have their passport will have to be interviewed and this is applicable only for air flights. Those who are coming through the boarder will not be required at least until 2008. This might create havoc temporarily since it is only a quarter of the population that carry passport.

Intel is Winning Back the Processor War

The latest indication is Sun Micro System is attracted by what Intel is offering and there is a rumor that they are going to announce a joint effort soon. The arrangement is going to be while Sun that was using AMD’s chips for its servers exclusively will start using Intel’s new improved chips that are much faster, do not consume too much power, and do not heat much, Intel on the other hand will endorse the Sun’s Solaris operating system. Intel that had lost 5% of the overall chip market for its staunch competitor AMD is making a comeback after introducing a new upgraded design that is much faster and releases less heat. The two companies are in the habit of snatching clients from each other as earlier Dell was forced to use AMD’s chip even it was a devoted customer of Intel for a long time. Now Intel is going to get back a client it lost earlier simply because Sun had to choose AMD’s chip for its servers that was faster, consumes less power, resulting in its emitting less heat. AMD had felt its market share eroded after Intel introduced the new designed chips.

CareerLinked

 



This Post is Sponsored by www.carrerlinked.com

A must Site to Visit

Here is a site that is serving two groups that cannot go on without each other, namely employers and those who are looking for employment. One of the web site’s theme is it understands that in today’s hectic schedule it is difficult for anyone who is looking for a career change to spend the required time searching for the right employer, especially if the job seekers are currently employed and are looking for a better employer. The same applies to employers too, even those that have a well-established human resources department. The reason for that is companies for the most part would have no choice other than putting their ads on web sites such Free Job Postings that claims to have enough number of visitors and registered participants. The employers success rate of finding what they are looking for depends on the effort such sites are putting in their marketing campaign so that they could attract a high number of job seeker with the right qualification and experience.

If there is anything that will put careerlinked.com on top of the heap of similar companies that claim to have career listings, it is their marketing campaign that will enable them to attract both potential employers and employees seeking reliable employers. The site already has heavyweight employer such as Century 21, Bell, and CGI that are recruiting and working with the site on an ongoing basis. In fact www.careerlinked.com works for corporate employers, as they are the ones who will have to pay a fee that varies according to the package they are looking for and how often they will be hiring. All those who are job hunting are expected to do is to register with the site and post their profile where these heavy weight employers will go through from time to time when they need to recruit workers and those job seekers who have profiles that meet the requirements of these hiring companies will be directly contacted. From there on it will be between the employers and the employees, which would mean the job seekers would have to meet the requirements of the employers.

Employers that are looking for employees, once they buy a package they can hire as many times as they need, whereas what is expected of those who are seeking for employment is to update their profile whenever there are new changes that they want employers to know about. Moreover, visiting the site in a regular basis for anyone is very educational since there are useful articles and information that are updated regularly. Hence both employer and those seeking work opportunity should visit Free Job Postings on a regular basis for the employers to see if the right kind of job seekers had been registered and for the job seekers just to see what is new and learn from the fresh content the site puts on a regular basis. That is all required for both to be benefited from this web site that is becoming fast as the best place to bring employers and employees together.

A Small Metal in the Shoes

The new security system that is installed at Orlando airport is said to be a bit advanced than the others, because it is at least possible to keep the shoes on as long as they do not have any metal in them while going through the security checkup in a kiosk. The reason for that is the system that sends radio wave to check the biometrics information of passengers that have to pay $100 a year in order to register in the program cannot distinguish different kinds of metals yet. Enrolling in the program will enable participating passenger to avoid the lineup at the main security checkup that they do not have to go through. It is believed that the new system that commenced in 2005 will start to be used in many airports soon.

Apple Creates a Buzz

Apple has introduced a new touch screen controlled device that has the capacity to send email and voice mail, play music, and surf the Internet. In fact it is a cell phone that would cost around $500. The iPhone that was unveiled on Tuesday by Steve Jobs has stirred interest and is said to be accepted warmly by Wall Street as well as investors who catapulted the Apple’s share by around $7.10 when 120 million shares changed hand creating close to $6 billion wealth for the shareholders. Analysts are saying it is difficult to say if the device is priced competitively, because the new introduction is only a wide touch screen and the device being slimmer than most similar devices. This would mean except being a product sold by Apple that had seen huge success with its iPods that needs to protect the turf created by the iPod it is not exceptional.. In fact, the name iPhone is already registered by Cisco System since 2000, which might make it difficult for Apple to call the cell phone iPhone. The company has changed its name to Apple Inc only reflecting that it is no longer a computer company only. Conclusion, the cell phone will come down as one of the products Apple pushed in the market to give a boost to its market share that was won by the iPods that was being eroded by cell phones that were offering similar music downloading service.

Universal Healthcare for Californians

California could become the second state after Massachusetts to introduce a universal health care to more than 6.5 million uninsured Californians. Union leaders are against the plan because it will raise tax on the middle class. Under the plan businesses with more than ten workers will have to insure their workers or pay 4% of their payroll into a pool that will be run by the state. Small firms that make up close to 80% of the businesses in California will be exempted. The 1.2 million low income earners in the state will get a direct subsidy from the government. Accordingly, the news had been accepted favorably by the insurance industry that will have between four and five million new insured people as their clients. However, business people have claimed that it will impose more tax on them and the outcome will not be good in the long run. Moreover, it would definitely affect the good relationship the Governor had with business people who were his allies.

Amniotic Fluid Replacing Embryos

Researchers are saying that it might be time to switch to amniotic fluid that does not have a controversial issue hanging over it as is retrieving stem cells from embryos. The liquid is obtained from pregnant women and what it does in the womb is cushioning the baby and is expendable. If there is a catch it might not still avail the more than 200 cells that the body is made up of, most of which are easily retrievable from an embryo. However, starting from President Bush using embryos for retrieving stem cells have a stern opposition. The researchers have said it will be many years before amniotic fluid replaces embryos, which means the research on embryos as the good source of stem cells that are used for many purposes such as reengineering body organs or for various aesthetic purposes that could encompass many areas some of them labeled exotic will continue unabated, while at the same time the possibilities the amniotic fluid would avail will also be studied.

Expensive Thirty Seconds

On the coming SuperBowl the major networks are set to charge $2.5 million for a thirty second ad and the spots for the first half are almost sold. In fact, there are companies that pay more than that and they would be lucky if they get spot in the fourth quarter unless they are early. Last year, Walt Disney had gotten away by charging $2.5 million on it ABC network. The reason why the SpuerBowl spots are so hot is there will be at least 90 million people tuning in to watch the games if what happened last is repeated.

Autonet Mobile is Making its Debut

JuxionBox was giving a similar service to what now Autonet is promising to improve and
it calls what it is going to avail seamless connectivity to the car. According to the company behind Autonet, it is going to be a new-age media center for the car. Reports have said that it is going to come with radios inside for the 3G-backhaul connection. What that means is there is no need for a separate EV-DO or HSPDA card to plug in that are offered by other companies such as Verizon. The other advantage is it has a Wi-Fi radio that allows multi users and it is possible to connect all the portable devices such as PDAs, laptops, smart phones, gaming handhelds and more.

Autonet sells for $399 and it does not depend on other sources to avail an Internet connection, it charges $49 a month for the service and the product plugs into a car cigarette lighter for power. The company is targeting car rental agencies and Avis is among the first ones that are planning to use it and will charge $11 a day for the service. Other advantages cited were it works 100% in most metropolitan roads and it comes down to 95% on other secondary roads, and what will give it an edge is the Internet connection where anyone, especially kids could watch movies on the road without having their CDs with them.

The $100 Laptops are Coming Out Soon

The year 2007 is already here and the highly publicized $100 laptop is going to get its way into students’ hand, and it has a mixed acceptance according to the news. It is only those who are in charge of the project that have full confidence on the simplified laptop that is expected to change how students in the developing nation are going to be educated. For most, it is going to be the first computer that they will encounter and there is no denying the fact that it will be a useful encounter that might last a lifetime. The XO machine is unique in everything, which means there is no any computer that works like it, and what makes it unique is its simplicity. The horsepower the tiny XO is boasting is not more than 366-megahertz and it does not have a hard disk drive. It uses a 512 megabytes of flash memory, but since it has USB 2.0 ports it is possible to add more storage.

As an experiment, at least it will take time before the benefit is assessed and a number ofcountries are expected to receive the XO at around February. The economic problem is still on the top of the list where the battery requires to be charged and it will have to be frequently, which means it will have no use in areas where electricity is not available, and maybe it could only be useful in the urban centers of the developing countries. Countries such as India has withdrawn from participating and Brazil that has a similar computer that uses Intel and cost $400 has said it will wait and see. The conclusion is it could end up being an expensive toy governments and participating foundations will be buying for disadvantaged third world kids and if not much there will be some gain definitely, except that skeptics are saying it is not worth the effort, which will take time to judge.
