The reason they have a high turnover in sales staff, is that they constantly rotate them out, before they can pay commissions. So, they work you for 5 to 6 weeks, then when it's time to pay commissions, they fire you, and then tell you they don't have to pay.Don't work there! ...read more

It's a story many have heard before. Water was spilled on the computer, my kids were playing on it, the power went out, etc. No matter how it occurred the loss of information on any computer can be devastating. For most of us there are irreplaceable items like documents, pictures, and even newsletters. Fortunately there are options available to protect all of the information. To keep things low maintenance the top choices would be an online service such as Carbonite or Mozy. These are just two popular examples of companies that will automatically backup all of your data files when you log into the internet. The only downside to these services of course are the monthly subscription fee. If any data loss occurs these companies will be able to restore it. For the do-it-yourselfer there are two good options. One is to purchase an external hard drive and hook it up to the computer. Then, simply copy and transfer anything that needs to be saved to the hard drive. The same can be done with data CDs or DVDs if the computer has a burner built in. Any way it's done, backing up your data is critical to save time and headaches. ...read more

"What is that thing?" is what some may expect to hear from a child as you walk through aisles of audio equipment and happen upon a turntable. Surprisingly, however, new turntables and new vinyl albums have seen a resurgence. In a quote from an article by Andrea Mohin of the New York Times, "The turntable, once thought to have taken up obsolescence with reel-to-reel and eight-track players has been reborn. Sales of vinyl albums have been climbing steadily for several years, tromping on the notion that the rebound was just a fad. Through late November, more then million vinyl records had been sold in 2009, an increase of more than 35 percent in a year." As sales of CDs fall due to the increased demand of downloadable music from the internet, it is interesting to see the increased demand of a music format thought to be dead. Much of the increased sales is due to the "IPod Generation" trying to start up or increase their vinyl collection. Many people are discovering a quality of sound that they have never heard before. There are of course improvements to the latest generation of players. Newer, higher quality materials and manufacturing methods have made the turntables of today sound better than ever. The vinyl itself is thicker and sounds better than it did back in the 60's and 70's. It may not make sense from a convenience and portability standpoint but it's easy to overlook for the love of good sound. ...read more

The latest buzz for TVs would definately have to be 3D. At the last Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, 3D had a major presence at nearly all manufacturers of video products. Plans are in the works for broadcasts to be out in full high definition 3D with DirecTV being one of the first to plan a channel with 3D material being available 24/7. We should start to see the first 3D sets and bluray players available in the next few months. It is an exciting addition to our current high definition programming. ...read more
