Compare the Microsoft Surface tablet with the iPad . Gizmag says, "We have to admire what Microsoft is doing here." The keyboard is HARD. It's superior to plastic ! A previous post on this blog touted the Microsoft "Surface" for Trade Shows, so here is an explanation of that naming duplication. (Looking for the Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft Pixelsense?

This innovation of the U.S. Post Office is great! According to Mike Payne of Turn Key Concepts, the return rate on the direct mail is very high, relative to normal expectations, and the Giant cards are delivered nearly the next day. Any carrier route can be selected. Have you ever received a post card that is 15 inches x 11 inches? That's practically a POSTER! The "mailer" area only measures 3...

Here's news of an innovative way to attract client attention: I received a large postcard from Rock, the organization working to protect families and children from the harmful effects of pornography. At the bottom of the card in large letters was an invitation to visit: AnneYeiser.defendmycommunity.com, so I did. I was asked to fill out a survey, and be eligible to win an Apple iPod. I did find that I could fill it out as often as I wanted to, but I'm sure they have a way to only enter my name for the drawing once. I can create unlimited subdomains for your promotion on FastZone. Let's...

When will the collective tech love affair cool down? Never? Venture capitalists have sunk $11.5 into Formspring. Visit QUANTCAST for the current ranking of Formspring (in the U.S.).

A new online auction site. See the advertorial here . Wow, $19.62 for a MacBook Pro?! Pay to participate by the bid; $.60 per bid. BBB accredited.

More competition. Will we soon see a disclaimer?
