| Ten things you should about GPS units
They provide the user with basic guidelines on whether to go left, right, or straight ahead during their journey and some even offer verbal alerts such as when you are travelling over the speed limit or are approaching a red-light camera. If you are growing tired of the very polite voice inhabiting your GPS, novelty and celebrity voice skins are available to users of TomTom units - on sale either from the manufacturer itself or from the nascent third-party market which peddles a wide array of celebrity impressions from the likes of Elvis, the Queen and Marilyn Monroe. For those looking for more functional voice upgrades, forking out a little extra cash will fund the more sophisticated text-to-speech capabilities currently inhabiting products at the top end of the market which will read out street names.
No cash, no sweat as firms swop goods online
Barter, that age-old form of trade, is heating up here, with the Internet as a modern-day matchmaker. A multimillion-dollar business has mushroomed online for mainly small businesses to exchange goods and services. Two online brokerages here raked in close to $4 million in transactions this year and membership is booming. One member is beauty salon owner Daisy Leng, who this year saved $2,800 on advertising and computer software, which she paid for with her beauty products instead of cash. 'The savings are very important to a small setup like mine,' said Ms Leng, now a regular barter trader. Another local set-up, accounting software company A2000 Solutions, saved $10,000 on printing by redeeming credits earned from selling accounting software in a barter trade.

Apple Wants To Make DRM Extortion Explicit
This is stupid no matter how you slice it. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) Re: Playing Devil's Advocate by Alan on Dec 5th, 2007 @ 7:18am I think this is the pertinent point - Apple must provide a legal way for customers to load content onto its devices. One way is by buying the movie via ITMS. The ITMS selection is tiny though, so they are looking for other sales channels. The problem here is the law that makes it illegal to transfer DVDs to other media, not the fact that Apple is trying to sell movies for its devices.
