8 Reasons to Check Out a Tablet PC

So you've decided to buy a new laptop PC. It makes sense. After all, prices are down, features are up, and now you can get an affordable model that offers power, mobility, and a long-life battery in a package that weighs only a few pounds.

There is, however, an alternative. The lightweight Tablet PC, a fully equipped PC the size of a letter-sized notepad, is worth checking out. For the same price as a top-range laptop, you will get everything a notebook PC has to offer and more.

Specifically, it is a more convenient size, has a pen-activated screen, and is easier to use at meetings and while travelling. It offers Microsoft's most advanced operating system to date and allows you to run any Windows XP-compatible applications.

Best of all, it enables you to edit documents and send email messages in your own handwriting, and translate most handwriting into text. Included is a feature to help decipher bad handwriting (for really bad handwriting, maybe you should stick to typing). Some models also have voice-recognition input capabilities.

For Road Warriors and Meeting Hounds Granted, not everybody is going to want a Tablet PC. Some will lament the cost now that laptop prices are coming down. Others won't like a smaller keyboard. Still others may have little use for digital penmanship, or the increased mobility.

But "road warriors" and "corridor warriors" - people ensconced in meetings most of the time - are prime candidates for Tablet PCs. So are students, salespeople, doctors and other health-care workers, architects, engineers, researchers and others who need an easy-to-operate, easy-to-transport PC.

"I've sat through a number of product demos, and I find it to be quite impressive," says Alan Promisel, a research analyst at IDC. "It's really pretty cool. And it will make some people's jobs easier." He adds that Microsoft's handwriting recognition technology - a key ingredient of the Tablet PC - has made "enormous leaps and bounds" with this offering and will continue to improve.

'Convertible' and 'Slate' Models The Tablet PC comes in two basic designs - "convertible," a tablet-sized screen with an integrated keyboard that you can fold over like a notebook PC, and "slate," where the screen is detached from the keyboard and can be hooked together at a docking station.

Tablets are being manufactured by major companies such as Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, Toshiba and Acer, and run on Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system. You don't need specialised software - Office and any applications you use with Windows XP will work on a Tablet PC.

Why do I think a Tablet PC is worth checking out?

1. It will run Microsoft's most advanced operating system to date. Windows XP Tablet PC is actually a superset of Windows XP Professional, with the power and capabilities of XP, plus additional features to allow "pen-based computing." More on that in No. 2.

2. It will extend the way you use a PC. You can still type your notes and text, and use the internet the way you would a notebook or desktop PC. But with pen-based computing, you can incorporate digitised pen-and-paper into the PC experience. Using a special digital pen that comes with it, and the Tablet PC's input panel utility (which is like a keyboard on the screen), you can write directly on the screen and save notes in your handwriting or convert them to typed text. Your digital pen can take the place of a mouse and keyboard If you wish.

3. You can take all your notes electronically. The Windows XP Tablet PC Edition comes with a note-taking utility called the Microsoft Windows Journal. With it you can create and organise handwritten notes. Notes, diagrams and drawings - all that you would normally create with pen and paper - are captured and stored in the Windows Journal. The Tablet PC's advanced handwriting recognition technology allows you to search your notes quickly to find what you need.

4. You can work from anywhere, and you won't disrupt meetings. Some companies prohibit or discourage people from using notebook PCs in meetings. Why? Because the laptop screen creates a barrier of sorts between the user and the speaker. You lose eye contact while you're plunking away on keys. By using a pen and a letter-size screen (with the keyboard folding over), a meeting participant can maintain normal eye contact and still take notes at a meeting. Meanwhile, the same mobility and wireless capability that a laptop provides enables Tablet PC users to work in coffee shops, in class, on planes and in hotel rooms.

5. The Tablet PC can be your primary PC. Remember, it's a fully equipped PC, not a PDA, so you don't have to synchronise it with your desktop PC.

6. You can collaborate with co-workers effectively. You can apply your digital penmanship to core Office applications. For example, you can add handwritten comments or draw pictures in Microsoft Word documents, emphasize key points in PowerPoint presentations, write and send handwritten emails through Outlook - and share handwritten documents with other PC users.

7. You can personalise. Tablet and pen settings allow you to customise your Tablet PC for left- or right-handed operation, and to program buttons to complete a variety of tasks

8. Your data is encrypted and protected. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition offers all of the protection features of Windows XP Professional, including the Encrypting File System security feature and access control.

Three Simple Steps For Effective Marketing

The internet is a great means of advertising your product or business opportunity potentially to thousands of others. One of the things we need to remember is that we are marketing to strangers and our goal is to turn them into customers and business partners.

With this in mind you want your marketing to stand out from the rest, and let the reader know how you can help them. Think of your potential prospect and what they are looking for. People join network marketing companies to make money, so your emphasis should be on how you and perhaps the team you work with can help them accomplish this.

We need to market ourselves first!

There are so many affiliate programs and MLMs that give their reps free replicated web sites. Somewhere you may see in small print "presented by Jane Doe" but there is nothing to differentiate between her site and the countless others around.

It's important to have your own splash page and to tell prospective customers or distributors how you can help them. Nearly everyone who joins a business does so to make money, explain to the reader how you and the team you work with can help them accomplish this, so they know why they should sign up with you and not one of the hundreds or thousands of others who are in the same program as you.

Not only that, but you need an opt in page with autoresponder so you can follow up with your leads. Otherwise unless a person bookmarks your site you have lost that person forever. Remember people seldom buy or join on first exposure.

You may think you have the best product since sliced bread, or the best compensation plan in MLM, or your company may be growing at an incredible rate and be debt free. While the prospect may want to know these things, it isn't the first thing on his or her mind.

It's how you can help them make money.

Be original in your advertising as well and don't just do a copy and paste ad. Those ones are easy to spot.

So the three steps are have your own splash page, an opt in and an autoresponder attached to it, and see the difference it makes.

By marketing ourselves first we will be much more likely to find serious prospects for our business and turn them into our customers and business partners.

Prevent and Get Rid of Spyware Now

The best way to get rid of spyware is not to get it in the first place. To avoid getting spyware on your computer, beware of certain kinds of sites. Peer to peer (P2P) is almost a guarantee for getting spyware. You think you're downloading your favorite band's new song, but you don't know what is attached to that. Porn sites are loaded with spyware and adware; beware of what you're viewing and what you're getting because of it.

Certain browsers are more susceptible to spyware than others. Because internet explorer (IE) is the most used internet browser, it is the most targeted for spyware. Vulnerabilities and unpatched security holes can allow spyware to infiltrate your system without your knowledge. Use Firefox instead as it is more secure and has plug-ins designed to eliminate spyware sneaking in.

Email is another way to leave your system open to spyware. Double check who the sender is and never click on open attachments. If it looks like spam, don't bother opening it. If you open some spyware it might send it to your whole address book so make sure to check your emails before opening them.

Beware of the free software you're downloading. A comment trick spyware distributors use is linking it with free software. Never download anything unless you need it and know the source is good and well trusted.
A lot of spyware programs are offered using annoying pop-ups that end up in your face. Take the time to download a pop-up blocker and rid yourself of both the annoyance and the possible danger.

Once you have spyware, your computer will be much slower. Spyware uses hard drive space to run on so a slow computer is often a sign that you have spyware. If you're having lots of annoying pop-ups (more than usual), you may have a problem with spyware. If strange new sites come up in your favorites or your default settings are changed, that is a clear warning. If you have any of these symptoms or several of them, you should definitely be wary of a spyware problem.

Get spyware software from a trusted site and scan your computer every couple weeks. Some programs work by blocking the spyware from installing on your computer. Others work by scanning your computer every day, week, or month and erasing the spyware already installed. Whichever method you choose, still use precautions while surfing the net to avoid spyware altogether.

How To Make a AI Software Program Look Like an Online Forum Participant

Some very smart folks at one University have developed artificial intelligent computers which are able to communicate with humans in online forums and the people in the forum do not even realize that the computers are not actual people. Pretty cool isn't it or do you think this is scary that someone would do this to try to trick you.

Well, the computers can communicate with people and unsuspecting folks may converse back with them for a few posts, but generally they get tired of the mirroring techniques. So although the people may not realize it is an artificial intelligent computer they get bored pretty fast. This is why more work needs to be done with Artificial Intelligent software programmers, because these systems are not good enough yet.

Sure it is a novelty and pretty cool technology when you think about it, yet it is also very silly if you think about it. If the humans get bored with it too quickly then it becomes highly ineffectual. How can we make these systems better? Right now they respond by asking questions, but in highly creative thought they cannot perform, because they never are able to answer the questions or produce relevant new information. They can't think.

If you find a person on a forum who cannot think, chances are they are not an artificial intelligent computer but, really eventually the same thing will happen, you will lose interest and leave. Dumb people and dumb artificial intelligent computers are quite similar and I would challenge the programmers to do better than this and the rest of the world to learn to think? How is that for advice on this fine day?

A Brief History of Green Computing

Do you know how much energy your computer uses? Probably not but if you do a little research to find out then you will realize how important green computing is. In fact, if you realize how much space old computers take up in landfills and haw difficult they are to dispose of then you would also appreciate the idea of green computing. These days computer recycling is of more importance than ever and everyone should do their job to help keep the environment clean. Learning a little more about protecting the environment and computer disposal is important so you can do your part for the environment.

When it comes to PC disposal you need to know everything there is to know in order to be involved in green computing. Basically, the whole green aspect came about quite a few years back when the news that the environment was not a renewable resource really hit home and people started realizing that they had to do their part to protect the environment.

Basically, the efficient use of computers and computing is what green computing is all about. The triple bottom line is what is important when it comes to anything green and the same goes for green computing. This considers social responsibility, economic viability and the impact on the environment. Many business simply focus on a bottom line, rather than a green triple bottom line, of economic viability when it comes to computers. The idea is to make the whole process surrounding computers more friendly to the environment, economy, and society. This means manufacturers create computers in a way that reflects the triple bottom line positively. Once computers are sold businesses or people use them in a green way by reducing power usage and disposing of them properly or recycling them. The idea is to make computers from beginning to end a green product.

The solution to green computing is to create an efficient system that implements these factors in an environmentally friendly way. A good example would be IT managers purchasing hardware that has been EPEAT approved meaning that maintenance is reduced, the hardware's life is extended, and makes recycling the computer easy once it is no longer necessary.

If everyone takes into account green computing then our world of computers will have as little a negative impact on our physical world as possible and that is what green computing is all about.

The ABC's of Free and Almost Free Internet Advertising

Are you trying to get the word out on the internet about your business but you have limited or no advertising funds? Try some of these ideas to get
yourself and your business noticed.

Articles- writing articles is my favorite method of free online advertising. You can create as many as you want and create a ton of links to your site. If you do a good job, you can also get them published in Ezines and create even more publicity for yourself.

Blogs- this is my second favorite method. Google loves these and they provide another way to market yourself, and offer fresh content and a way for others to provide comments.

Content- as they say on the internet, content is king. You absolutely must have useful and interesting content on your website or you might as well not bother.

Domain names- although not free, they are really cheap and having more than one gives people more than one way to find you.

Email- email is free and as long as you use it correctly and remember to include a signature line with your link to your website it can generate quite a bit of business for you.

Forums- there are thousands of these online on any topic you can imagine and actively participating in these on a regular basis will help grow your business.

Google- Google has many free tools you can use to build your business such as google adsense, google address book, site mapping and much much more.

Link exchanges- if done correctly, these can produce great results. The big secret is to exchange links only with sites which complement yours but which do not compete and to limit the number of links.

Niche marketing- target your marketing to specific niches. You can even create different websites targeted at different segments of the population.

Online contest- run a free drawing or contest with questions and watch people flock to your site.

Product swaps- consider finding companies who are interested in swapping either advertising or products.

Squidoo- this site rocks. Google loves it and so do I. You can create lenses which are part blog and part social bookmarking on any topic you want and drive traffic to your website.

Tv stations- often their websites offer some of the best free classifieds and forums around.

Yahoo instant messaging. This is free and you can make all kinds of contacts this way.
