I ran across an article about differences in cheap laser printers versus more expensive professional versions. As it turns out, for your business, it may just end up costing you more money over time. So the next time you think you might save some money and go on the cheap, you might want to think again. The link is below:

I admit it. I am an early adopter and I love to get the latest gadget, whether it's a phone or a robot vacuum cleaner. But keeping up with and researching the latest and greatest gadget can be time-consuming, to say the least. Enter GDGT What's this, you ask? Pronounced "gadget" it's gdgt.com a website dedicated to all us techophiles.
The cool thing about this site is it's database driven, so that you can enter the stuff you are interested in, and track only information about those items, leaving out the things you don't really care to read about. Give it a try. The site is new, but growing fast.

According to the Wall Street Journal, ATT, Verizon, Sprint and some others are under investigation by the Department of Justice. It seems the DOJ thinks they may be abusing their power on the cell phone market. How, you ask? One reason that comes to mind is the fact you can only get an i-phone from one carrier, and it cannot be used on any other carrier.
I have to say, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the entreprenour in me wants to commend a carrier for being proactive and inking a deal with a phone manufacturer that gives them exclusive access to a product. On the other hand, I have many friends who feel most of this technology should be open-source in order for anybody to make improvements to the software for these products, effectively accelerating the process of improvements.
Regardless of which way you feel about this, I wouldn't look for an answer anytime soon. This investigation is just now beginning, and given the enormous size of these carriers, and the potential implications of monkeying with the American business model, this will be a long drawn-out investigation. Let me know your thoughts by posting here.

Windows 7 has been in Release Candidate status for a few months. We have received information from Microsoft that Windows 7 will go to RTM, or Release To Manufacturing on October 22, 2009. That means it will be released in its final production form, available for purchase.
Release Candidate downloads will end on August 20th. After then, you can't download the software, but you can still get a key for installation until the production date.
Microsoft is making a concerted effort to get the public to accept Windows 7. I have to say, it is pretty impressive so far, with my experiences coming from the Release Candidate software running on non-production machines. They are offering pretty competitive pricing on this new version of operating system, unlike versions of Vista.
So, if you have been thinking about taking Windows 7 for a test drive, hurry up and download the RC software before August 20th. You can do that here.
