One Of The Coolest Inventors Ever: Douglas Engelbart!

In the computer world, there are so many technologies that it is hard to keep up with all of them.  Indeed, you might be surprised to learn that 3Dconnexion recently shipped its one millionth 3-D computer mouse; clearly it is not an obscure product, but somehow it has never drawn mainstream media attention.  Creations like the 3-D computer mouse are the result of tireless research and development by inventors.  In the case of the 3-D computer mouse, the ultimate design was the result of the efforts of Douglas Engelbart.

Cadence Design Systems Trumps Cisco Systems For Susan L. Bostrom!

There are some work environments with which employees truly fall in love.  Those places where you might work where you find a sense of fulfillment and potential for advancement may be the best workplace of your life.  Sometimes, though, they might not be absolutely right for all you need at a certain point in your life.  When that happens, you may well move on.  The best workplaces, however, are the ones that will have you back when your circumstances, or those of the company you love, change once again.  Cadence Design Systems was an environment Susan L. Bostrom loved and one that eagerly took her back in 2011! Read more »


Find Out What All Those Tweets Mean At TagWalk!

Of all the social networks on the Internet, Twitter seems to be the one that is both the most trendy and least useful.  Limited to 140 characters, Twitter is basically an extended message board for your life where you keep anyone who might be interested up to date on where you are, what you are doing and/or what thoughts are going through your mind.  While Twitter might not be a bastion of deep thoughts or profound ideas, Twitter actually embodies perfectly the “social” part of social networking.  More than any other social network, Twitter acts as a barometer of just what is hip, trendy, and popular in the world at any given moment.  Twitter is the snapshot of both popular culture and current events.  But, seeing the big picture Twitter is trying to reveal can be hard.  For that, you need TagWalk.

So It Begins: Technology Starts To Backslide To Sociology In Shopping!

As online shopping has become more and more popular, there has remained a vocal minority of analysts who claim the movement is little more than a fad.  So far, Internet shopping trends have illustrated well that consumers are willing to wait for their merchandise in order to get it less expensively.  Consumers have also latched onto online companies like eBay and Amazon because their vast selection has no real-world equivalent in the marketplace.  But outside cranky brick and mortar retail store owners and conservative commentators who fear change, there has been a consistent voice arguing that online shopping is not likely to endure.  That voice has come from sociologists and the first real proof of their theories comes with a new deal reached by Nordstrom’s department stores and online retailer Bonobos.

The Best Of The Fax Over The Internet Services!

The fax, the facsimile which was essentially a scan sent from one machine to another over the phone line, is a dying technology.   Scanners and e-mail provide essentially the same services and they are easy-to-use technologies used in every industrialized nation on Earth.  However, e-mails do not have the legal authority of faxes.  As a result, Fax Over Internet Protocol technology has emerged as a new industry.  Choosing the right FOIP provider can be a challenge.  Three of the best are: Read more »

Is There A Point To Faxing Over The Internet?

For a long time, the fax was a tool of businesses everywhere.  The facsimile was a great way to transmit documents that was quicker than using mail or courier services.  With the rise of the fax machine, many laws involving acceptable forms of documentation came to include facsimile copies of important documents.  Ironically, the speed of the rise of the Internet and e-mail communications radically outstripped the speed at which laws are altered.  As a result, today facsimile copies remain legally relevant for many important documents, whereas e-mailed copies of documents do not carry the same weight.  One solution to this problem is Fax Over Internet Protocols.
