I’m increasingly dissatisfied with Microsoft Office, which I personally feel is too bloated and takes forever to load, so I’ve tried other alternatives including OpenOffice, GoogleDocs and so on.

When I opened Kingsoft Office, I feel right at home right away. This is it! Oh yes, even the installer looks like a Microsoft Office 2010 but with speed. You can say that Kingsoft Office Suite is a “pirated” version  because it borrowed heavily from Microsoft’s user interface.

Kingsoft Office Suite Professional 2012 Features:

• Can create, open, view, edit and save any document produced using Microsoft Office, whilst Microsoft Office can open all Kingsoft files even without Kingsoft Office being installed on that computer.
• The installation package of Professional 2012 requires just 68.3MB to download, allowing you to easily install and uninstall the software.
• Offers a built-in spell checker to help you to check the documents.
• Built-in PDF converter allows you to convert Word, Excel and PowerPoint files into PDF formats.
• Includes a VBN, a macro function to allow you to execute some specific database instructions.

Kingsoft Office Free  has nearly all the features you’d expect from an office suite in a lightweight package, and it’s free, too.No wonder, CNET gave it 4.5/5 stars on their latest review.

In quote, “From a management perspective, you don’t have the United States as you did in ’98, ’99 in a position to lead and corral the global community around a response. Second of all we’re coming to an end of a 20 year period of leverage. And the unwinding of that is coming at a time when there’s less ability to globally coordinate that. And this is going to be a long deleveraging process. So that’s why this financial crisis is as serious as it is, and why getting solutions executed is as hard as it is.” – Mousavizadeh (www.Reuters.com)

Furthermore, in new technology, 2012 promises exciting eTrends. Economists, Jeremy Rifkin of the Foundation on Economic Trends, predicted the “Third Industrial Revolution” that has predictions covering up to 2020. Wherein, there will be added advancements from Internet companies in contributions (using the Internet will make communication faster and transactions clearer,) more environmentally friendly transportation means as well as more small construction and power plants to be active in the global scene. He, also, said that these are the worth-it structure for your investments this year that can go beyond the next 10 years. While, its benefits to us mankind would be cheaper electricity costs, a job demand growth, the trifling nature of fossil fuels and aid action maturity. More, according to him, now, we have the means of technology to, actually, make these dreams possible. With proposals of developing hydrogen-based storage systems, he said that funding seems to be the only problem.
The cited countries with similar plans and, already, performances are Europe, Africa and Japan. In them, energy is not hard to produce due to their solar, wind, geothermal or biomass distribution in domestic and industrial settings.

Now, what do you look after before buying an e-book? Of course, this time you don’t have to read the back of a paperback to get a hand of the short gist or compare the books acclamations and awards. Online reading has made this easy. A reader would just have to scroll up or down to see such e-book features. Makes buying quicker and smarter.

After, a reader would have to know the author, editor or cover designer of a book he or she is about to buy. If the book follows the typical page arrangements, then the all of these items can be found at the front cover more or less. There are also other published ones who enclose the author’s description inside and the artists name at the back cover. Yet, with the e-book, you can find all at together in the first page in a PDF, EPUB or any library format for reading.
The number of pages always doesn’t matter. It’s the content that counts. Ask any fanatic reader and you’ll get the same answer. However, with the available reading materials today, reading can never be fun! The war between using a tablet and an e-reader makes it more confusing and more exciting.

Difference between E-Readers and Tablets

E-readers are gadgets designed only for reading text. Its features gives the user a total reading experience, because of the application names like book replacement, reading, readable, unitasking, portable, cheap, convenient, dead simple, intuitive, keyboard and like print on paper. It is solely made for readers and they would love it surely.

Digital Trends, a site hosting technical reviews, said that there are top three consumer choices on the Internet on buying an e-reader. These brands are the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, and Barnes and Noble Nook. What’s more better with an e-reader is that it allows a long battery life, since its e-ink screens doesn’t have any backlight additions, which makes it unreadable during the night. Thus, saves energy. It is also sold for a really cheap price.

Tablets are, on the other hand, the smaller versions of our personal computers. This means that the two have similar functions. A lot of the applications also can be installed in a tablet, which also means that not only can a user read an e-book, he or she can also enjoy the same features available at hand. E-mail forwarding, video capability and smartphone operating systems are also a tablet’s capability. Guess, the saying that goes, “It’s small but terrible” enters the limelight this time!

The Tablet is really handy with a general size of between 7 X 10 inches. Some of its famous brands are the Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Hewlett-Packard Slate 500. Other words found in a Tablet are: multi-touch, multimedia, camera, multitasking, portable, photo, video, music, cool, flashy, computer replacement, pretty, games and dual screen, which are compared to an e-reader doesn’t focus to much on a reader, but on a user.

Did you get what this shows?
So, who do you think offers a more enjoyable experience during reading an e-book? Kindle Review, another known online community for updates and reviews, said that if you are a dedicated book reader, then the right choice would be the e-reader, but if not, then the smarter pick is the tablet. Why is this so? Isn’t it that the e-reader has smaller number of features at hand compared to a tablet? Won’t this make buying more confusing?

Which is better, E-Reader or Tablet?

The logic here is that an e-reader is a good fit for a reader who reads most of the time or reads too much. A tablet will be an excellent choice for a reader who only reads occasionally. Roughly comparing the two shows that:

• E-reader allows a better reading experience.
• Tablet is a handy PC you can carry anywhere.

A reader will love to buy a gadget similar to a book. An e-reader suits this most! A good advice would be to buy both e-reader and Tablet. Do things separately. When reading your favorite novels, poems and fictions use the e-reader, but if you are just reading other unimportant stuffs use the Tablet. Get creative and innovative!

Get Your Free Online Webspace

It simply means you can bring your files with you when you’re on the go, edit files in your Dropbox from your phone,  easily upload photos and videos to Dropbox
and finally share freely with friends and family. Dropbox works even when offline. You always have your files, whether or not you have an internet connection.

What’s good thing with Dropbox is you can get 2GB space for free enough for thousands of documents or hundreds of large photos. The free 2GB can be expanded up to 8GB. How? Join Dropbox and refer a friend. That’s simple!

Although,  paid subscriptions is available up to 100GB if you really need  more space.

In fact, I’ve been using DropBox for four (4) months already and I’m very satisfied with their services.

I suggest that do your assignment.  Don’t be in hurry to sign-up whenever you see one. There are so many web host service providers out there that will make your head spin and wouldn’t know which one to choose.  Some will even promise you the stars and the heaven just to bait you in placing your order.

Most if not all bloggers or site owners first consideration is their budget. In reality, there are more important features that you need check aside from the price. Most web host service providers’ price differences is insignificant nowadays. Based on my more than a decade experience in the Information Technology, there are more important features that you should be looking.

My top 2 features that I’m looking for are : Uptime  or Reliability and Customer Support.

Uptime or Reliability – Search for a web host provider that will guarantee a 99% uptime.  Remember this is an online world.  Your site or blog must be running  24×7  and should be up  for at least 99% all the time. Ask the service provider if they can guarantee it. Ask for money back guarantee if they can’t deliver their promises.

Customer Support – As I’ve mentioned, your online business is open 24×7 and so thus the customer support of your web host service provider  should be too!  An online business most specially those who are selling online is not limited to your local time only. If something goes wrong, you should be able to get in touch with the customer or technical support of your web host service provider.

There are other features like the disk space they will provide, bandwidth, databases and more, but for me these are secondary factors already. Looking for the web host service provider is easy, but looking for the best will take a bit of your time but don’t be discourage. You don’t need to to hop in from one web host provider to another just to search for the best. There are now  directories that will give the list and features of each web host providers. Most of these directories have their own reviews and web host guide as well so you won’t get lost.

I suggest that you better check the reviews and comparisons of different web hosting providers instead of going to their site directly.

The reason?

They developed iPhone Apps, and some of them even got rich.

Sound Too Good to be True?
It’s Not!…

If you don’t believe me just search “iphone apps developer rich” or better yet search specifically for these two guys:

1. Steve Demeter, developer of the vastly popular $5 iPhone game Trism, announced he made $250,000 in profit in just two months

2. Ethan Nicholas, developer of a tank artillery game called iShoot, told Wired.com he quit his job the day his app rose to No. 1 in the App Store, earning him $37,000 in a single day.
