Solid State Hard Drives taking a price dive
Posted by Lockergnome
Solid state hard drives are revolutionary. ??They have taken a normal hard drive and instead of using a disk it uses memory banks. ??Allowing hard drives to be much smaller in size allowing more room for??ventilation??in smaller notebooks. ??The biggest problem so far with solid state drives is the price tag. ??These tiny drives cost a fortune for just 60 gigs of storage. ??Now they are going to take a price drop and be much more affordable. ??Allowing people to indulge in the much smaller laptops. ;)??
“Compared to the price you’re paying today for a 64GB drive. You’ll get a 128GB of storage for less than half the price (of the 64GB drive),” said Patrick Wilkison, vice president of marketing and business development at STEC, a supplier of MLC-based solid-state drives.??

I HATE THE UK NEWS PAPERS
Posted by Lockergnome
Hi folks I have been busy again at work but now have time to blog. Over the past few weeks some of the Uk news papers have realley made me hate them because of what they have done to Hannah Bond. The Daily Mail was the worst here is a link the article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-566481/Why-child-safe-sinister-cult-emo.html . They talk about “EMO” and My Chemical Romance Fans as being a cult and she committed suicide because of the band. That is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard. EMO is a stereotype not a cult yes some of them do self harm and commit suicide but most of them are “EMO” for the music or how they dress. Much the same with my chemical romance fans they are not a cult they are a group of music lovers of all ages and backgrounds. For this I hate British news papers mostly the sun and the daily mail of you buy either of them please stop. Thanks LiamRHarvey

paying others to fight our `war’…
Posted by Lockergnome
NEW DELHI: The tale of massive fraud and embezzlement of millions of dollars by the US military in its operations in Iraq continues. Testifying before the US Congress Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on 22 May, Mary Ugone, deputy inspector general of accounts in the Pentagon said that an audit of $8.2 billion spending related to the Iraq war showed that $7.8 billion had been improperly spent.
…In her testimony, Ugone also revealed that $135 million were given to forces from three countries UK, South Korea and Poland to facilitate their participation in the war. This is the first time that the US has officially admitted paying its allies in the so-called Coalition of the Willing that invaded Iraq in March 2003.

Usain Bolt: World’s Fastest Man
Posted by Lockergnome
Usain Bolt became the world’s fastest man. In a race that is not his specialty, Usain Bolt set the present world record:
“…The Jamaican runner, who doesn’t even consider the 100 meters his best race, set the world record tonight with a time of 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix, .02 seconds faster than the old record held by his countryman, Asafa Powell.”

To take two tenths of a second off the previous world record is a remarkable achievement. Kudos to Usain Bolt!

How to Get Found Online Part 2 - Why Go Beyond Search?
Posted by Lockergnome
So you probably already know that I’ve been out of pocket due to my on-going illness. The tide is shifting, though, and I’m having a bunch of really good days. I’m gonna continue this series now, though it may not be a daily update.
Before I was interrupted, we were talking about how small businesses can get found online - particularly small businesses that aren’t internet marketing sites. Too often, the techniques being touted by various experts are taken out of the true context, which makes people feel like they don’t work at all. Not so. They just need to be adjusted to work for business owners who are expanding their existing offline businesses to online properties.
We’re of course told that if you want people to find you, you’ll have to rank well in the search engines. (And I’ll tackle the whole host of misconceptions about what it means to rank well in the search engines, in another post at the end of this series.)
Further, it’s explained to us when we’re new online, that if we can’t get ranked, then we should buy our rankings. What isn’t explained is 1- what if we can’t afford it, and 2- what else is out there behind search.
Well. Here’s what I know, which is at the center of the theories I teach at my main site about web traffic, and elsewhere around the web.
Yes, search is an excellent place to get leads. Yes, there are ways to maintain good listings even after search engines periodically change the way they rank sites. Yes, you can keep good rankings for years. And that comes from making sure that in each thing you do to promote your site online, you keep search considerations in mind.
But.
Search isn’t all there is to getting visitors. And some of the ways you can get more traffic can still bring you visitors from search as well.
Let’s take article marketing. For newbies, that’s when you write an article about a topic that is related to your site, and submit it to editors and other publishers to republish in their ezines and sites, and sometimes even offline. In the basic version of article marketing, it can also help you build links, which can help take more people to your site. One thing few people talk about is that sometimes, if you can’t get your site to rank for a given group of keywords, you can get your article posted on sites that will easily rank.
Of course, you’ll have to write one heck of an article to get the people who find it to then also click your link and visit your site, however, 10% of 5000 visitors a day is a fair sight better than zero percent, is it not?
So there’s one reason to go beyond search.
Another is that people don’t always look to search engines to find things, immediately or first. And sometimes they can find you in other places Before they start looking. We’ll take that in the case of social media in the next article.
