Would you like a computer, but do not have the hundreds of dollars to buy one? If any of those situations apply to you, then you may want to consider the Raspberry Pi.
Sometimes, an individual’s association with a company can make all the difference in establishing a business venture. John F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to make a political magazine at a time when the market was pretty much strangled with political print magazines did not stop him from making George a success. In a similar way, one of the new tech sector startups benefits greatly from the celebrity of one of the members of its management team. Numecent is an emerging Cloudpaging company and it would be just another Internet startup if it was not for Hildy Shandell.

Nokia has slowly been stopping its free-fall. At one point, Nokia absolutely dominated the mobile phone market and the success of the company actually boosted the national economy of Finland significantly. In recent years, though, Nokia had not adequately predicted the meteoric rise of the smartphone and the need to diversify their product line. Under Stephen Elop, Nokia is diversifying and making other strategic decisions designed to keep Nokia alive in the very competitive mobile computing marketplace. But all of Elop’s efforts would be for naught if it were not for the skills and abilities of Jerri DeVard.
Apple’s new device is not the iPad 3, iPad HD, or The New iPad. “iPad” is its whole name, even though this is the third model in what may prove to be a long line of devices. With such a universally-recognized device, it sometimes helps to re-establish brand awareness and market dominance. By calling it simply “iPad,” Apple reminds consumers that they were the first and definitive tablet computer manufacturer. That type of nod to the market power of the iPad could not have been done with a name like third-generation iPad, iPad 3, or iPad HD.

The EyeTV Hybrid can help you eliminate some of those entertainment bills!

Making it possible for you to buy what you see in pictures online is the job of the engineers at Luminate. Directing them and making Luminate successful is Troy Chevalier.
