Well here is a quick little guide so you can pick out the best projector for you and your home theatre.

Google, the Leading Search Engine and Online Services Company

Google began as a research project by Larry Page and Sergy Brin in 1996 when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California. At that time search engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page. Larry and Sergy theorized about a better system which analyzed the relationship between websites. Almost like a voting system, websites relevance was determined by the number of pages and the importance of those pages that link to the original website. They called this new techonology PageRank.

And say you are friends with the most popular kid at school, this would give you more street credibility and make you more important.

Will 2013 SMB Technologies Fall Victim to an Economic Armageddon?

Regardless of your feelings regarding triskaidekaphobia, there is plenty to be nervous about in the coming year ending in the dreaded number 13. It's not just the fear of the number itself or the superstition that surround it, rather most SMB decision makers are fearful of the economic unknown we continue to see in the U.S. economy. The general consensus, post-election, is that the current administration is less than friendly towards the needs of the average small and mid-sized business which ironically is considered to be the largest driver of the U.S. economy. Let me be clear, my intention is not to debate the merits or shortcomings of the government's economic policy rather I mention it as one of the factors in trying to predict what new technologies will be major players in the New Year. Even though the economic outlook for growth is less than rosy, the SMB community will still be spending on technology. To that end, I turn to my go-to expert of al...
