There are few sectors of business where the glass ceiling is more evident than the technology sector.  For whatever reason, women in executive level and high management positions are almost completely absent from the ranks of the tech sector.  Even as some companies in the tech sector work to change the disappointing way women are excluded from top positions, the companies that lead the charge of businesses that have women on their executive management team are always looking to put the best person in the available position.  For Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile U.S.A., that meant hiring Claudia Nemat.

 Most phones have a plastic or aluminum casing. The purpose of the casing is to protect the sensitive inner components by creating a barrier that absorbs any damage. It is also an opportunity for users to personalize their phone by purchasing a special color or by adding a patterned case from another company.

No matter how convenient mobile computers and streaming technology are, there is nothing that enhances a movie viewing experience like seeing it on a big screen. In fact, watching pretty much anything is improved by seeing it on a color-rich, high definition, high-resolution, giant screen. Directors and producers produce their works to make them look good when they are big, so why do so many people obsess on crowding around tiny mobile devices to watch things? With the Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable, you no longer have to!

The Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable is a beautiful and durable basic connector. What can make a connector beautiful? For true high-definition transfers, your connectors need to be gold and the Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable has stylish and functional gold plating for the connectors and the leads.

It is rare, in these days when so many companies are cash-strapped, for a technology company to have such an ambitious product line that it becomes a detraction against the company.  In fact, with so many companies downsizing and scaling back their product lines, the tech sector is actually plagued with products that make it very hard to feel like an individual.  With so many products that look, feel and perform the same, it is tough to use technology as a means of self-expression, at least regarding the hardware.  HTC, however, had so many products come out for their mobile computing/smartphone line in 2011, that their product offerings quickly overwhelmed consumers.  For 2012, HTC has pledged to scale back their catalog and their first significant product of 2012 also has the potential to be one of the year’s best smartphones.  HTC’s One X smartphone is that product!

The HTC One X is an attempt by HTC to refocus and provide solid smartphone hardware that appeals to a broad range of people, as opposed to trying to meet every niche consumer.  The HTC One X manages to do that with some of the most impressive hardware on a smartphone yet.  First, the HTC One X has an incredible processor.  Processing with a Quad-core 1.5 GHz Tegra 3 processor, the HTC One X is at the cutting edge of smartphone and mobile computing brainpower.  With this Tegra 3 processor, applications run ridiculously fast and because this is cutting edge computing technology, the HTC One X will remain relevant in the marketplace for quite some time.

In addition to having a processor that is powerful enough for virtually any computing, streaming or gaming need, the HTC One X smartphone features a 720 pixel 4.7” Super LCD2 screen.  The color contrast for this screen is rich and captures layers of dark colors exceptionally well, making it ideal for streaming many of the current dark, moody feature films.  The screen’s finish allows for ideal viewing even in bright light.

Audiophiles are destined to fall in love with the HTC One X as well.  Just as the HTC One X delivers superior video quality, the sound quality for the HTC One X exceeds all expectations for sound on a smartphone.  Digital music plays with exceptional depth due to the addition of Beats by Dre audio.  Integrated at all levels for superior sound quality, music, videos and phone audio are the richest, most intense that a smartphone can deliver!

The HTC One X also comes with a standard 8 Mp digital camera.  That allows users to take and process photographs and share them fast through the smartphone’s wireless Internet connection.  With such versatility, the HTC One X offers HTC a real chance to reboot its presence in the market!

Sometimes, the only thing more confusing than figuring out what all of the charges on your various utility and media bills are for, is figuring out who is still providing the services you want to engage.  It seems like almost every day there is a new energy provider or a local telephone company finally sells to a massive international conglomerate.  The telephone, mobile phone and smartphone market has been an especially volatile one, made more so with the rise of cell phones and smart phones.  One of the companies that remains in the industry longer than many analysts anticipated is Cricket.  One of the reasons for the company’s continued survival is Annette M. Jacobs.

Annette M. Jacobs is the West Area President for Leap Wireless International, the parent company of cell phone service provider Cricket.  Jacobs went to work for Leap Wireless International in 2010 and at the time, many suspected that Cricket – which was closing many of its retail locations with their iconic green couches – was in the process of a collapse.  But through the hard work of people like Annette M. Jacobs, Cricket has had a positive turnaround and the West Coast operation of Leap Wireless International is running smoother than ever!

Online gaming has taken a few major turns in recent years, especially in terms of type of players and company business models. Until recently, most games on the Internet were for hardcore gamers. Now, anyone can find a game online that he or she will enjoy playing.

Social networking games have created a window into the gaming world for casual players by creating thousands of games that are free and very easy to play. These games come with a revolutionary business model that other types of games are slowly adopting.

Massively Multiplayer Online games, known as MMOs, are a type of game in which players from all over the world can play the game together in an online world. MMOs can be any type of game, but Role Playing Games (or RPGs) are the most popular. These MMORPGs, like the well-known World of Warcraft game, are beginning to change.

All throughout school, your English teacher taught you the correct spellings of words, how to formulate proper sentences, and the difference between a colon and a semi-colon. Then, you bought a computer and a cell phone for your children. Suddenly, you cannot understand a word of the text messages they send you.

With the rise of the Internet and text messaging, the way people communicate has changed. The young people who have grown up using these written methods of instant communication needed an faster way of typing their messages, so they developed what is known as ‘text speak’.

What is the one major problem with tablets? If you answered with something similar to “They do not have keyboards,” then you are among the majority of frustrated tablet and touch screen smartphone owners. Tablets are great; they are portable, lightweight, easy to use, and great for working outside the home or office. Tablets are the hot new item over the last two years and many people would love to be able to discard their laptop in favor of their new tablet.

There is just one problem with replacing laptops with tablets and it is a huge problem for users. The lack of an actual keyboard makes typing on a tablet a hassle. Typing on the virtual, onscreen keyboard is slow, imprecise, and awkward. The angle for holding your wrists and arms is completely wrong, and there is also the problem of trying to hold the tablet and type with both hands at the same time.

Would you like to use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop underwater? That would be cool, but it is not yet possible. Soon, however, you will not have to worry about getting your mobile computing devices wet. HzO is a company that is devoted and its resources to finding a way to prevent water damage from destroying communication devices.

According to the HzO website, this dream began because of a tragic death. A young man fell overboard from a barge and died because he could not get either his cell phone or his radio to work after they had been in the water. If the phone or radio had been treated with HzO’s new WaterBlock coating, that young man might have lived.
