Blackberry BOLD - to get or not to get?
I've read all kinds of literature pertaining to Blackberry devices since RIM came out with the extremely useful, attractive line of devices. I am a self-confessed techno-geek, having been exposed in the family business of telecommunications. I would get a new cellphone to try out, use and keep each month and it was an exciting time. Now that I'm in luxury cosmetics, I get perks totally different from before -- and I'd have to think twice, study every review available and get feedback from everyone I know to decide whether or not I should invest on a certain technology. After all, it's not like I have the same luxury of testing which phone is best for me or my purse. It's been almost 2 years since I got my Berry 8800. I skipped the curve series and am now in love with the Berry Bold after fiddling with my colleagues' new plaything. It's got the prettiest leather backing, a bright, almost high-definition looking screen, and while it seems a tad bit wider than my 8800, that spec fits the purpose. So apart from that, and all the other reviews I've read about it, I wonder, if someone would like to help me out and decide if it is the right phone for me.

Don’t close the door on brick-and-mortar stores just yet
You know what the hardest part about shopping is? Getting in the store. Spending money, even if you don’t have a lot of it, is crazy easy. Giving me even the slightest push to purchase a product, like offering a 10 percent off coupon, which barely even covers the sales tax, is often all it takes to get me to go from red to green on a purchasing decision. I recently pre-ordered NCAA Football 2013 at an online retailer just because they were offering a deal to get the game for $15 off retail, even though if I waited and bought it used in six months, it’d probably be even cheaper than that. ...12 Ways to Optimize Your Resume for Applicant Tracking Systems

"We must be prepared just in case the currency union collapses, although I don't expect that," Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan, who predicted the euro zone crisis in his 1994 doctoral thesis, told the SonntagsZeitung newspaper. ...

It’s no shocker the Samsung Galaxy S III launch has been the talk of the town this week. Officially hitting stores May 29th, device pre-orders have taken off on Amazon and other retailers. The arrival of the Galaxy S III may have deterred other manufacturers from launching smartphones this week, but the Android PC market is still heating up. VIA has unveiled the APC 8750 with a low price to match its small stature. Even tinier is the MK802 from Rikomagic: a $74 computer hardly bigger than a thumbdrive.© 2012 Created by Brian Mahony.
