This technology conference is focused on giving IT pros and developers an idea of what to expect in the coming year, while getting them ready to adapt to and take full advantage of the upgrades. If your business is reliant on Microsoft tech (and whose isn’t?) then this is likely to be a big one.
ExtraOrdinary Technology Conference

The conference exists so that inventors are able to show of their work for recognition and, hopefully, funding for their projects. Other than the display of new tech there are also lectures on a broad range of fascinating topics such as tesla technology, zero-point energy, energy conservation, low temperature plasma and electrogravitation .

The conference is set to be a major event as these key people discuss developments regarding PC tech and the software/hardware industries in general. If you do nothing else this year, then at least pay attention when the man who led the team which created the Microsoft .NET Framework , speaks.
The development of tech is moving at an increasingly fast pace and any techie that falls behind is in for some serious headaches trying to...

4 Free Ways to Create PDF Documents
Since those early days other programs for creating PDF files independent of Adobe have become available, with Microsoft Word---a program which allows you to create “no brainer” PDF files by merely saving any file as a .pdf---being the most popular. For those who don’t have Microsoft Word, here are 4 free PDF-creating programs to consider.
4 Free Ways to Create PDF Documents
1. OpenOffice.org
A simple way to describe OpenOffice is that it’s a lot like Microsoft Word---without the price tag. Being a complete office suite that’s free and very easy to install, Openoffice can be incorporated at any time on any computer platform, i.e. Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple/Mac. This means that as a new user of OpenOffice you can read and share existing files regardless of what previous software program created them.
Plus you now have the capability to not only create, edit, and export brand new PDF files, but also import, edit, and export PDF files sent from other users---even if those files were created using different software.
2. GoogleDocs
Offered as a free office suite with your Google account, Google Docs is a cloud-based system that allows you to create, edit, and share PDF files and access them from any computer with an internet connection. And since your files are stored online instead of on your hard drive, they stay safe and secure should your computer ever crash.
Another great benefit of Google Docs is that multiple users from different computers can access and work on the same documents simultaneously, in real time, which can save businesses a lot of time and money. Being that Google Docs operates within your browser---eliminating the need for software installations and updates---as improvements and updates occur they become instantly and seamlessly available to users. To take things a step further, in the Google web store for the Chrome browser there are several free open office apps which offer pretty much all of the perks of Word and Google Docs combined.
3. PrimoPDF
PrimoPDF is a popular pdf converter available as a free download for users of Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP operating platforms. Utilizing the print command from the source program used to create the file, PrimoPDF can convert almost any file to a PDF. Using a handy drag and drop feature for quick file conversion, users can choose to save their PDF files in either single or multiple file folders.
While allowing users to easily create and edit new documents, users can also overwrite preexisting PDF files as well. As an added benefit, PrimoPDF includes the ability to password protect documents to make sure that they are read, edited, and printed in a restricted, secure environment.
4. The pdf995/Adobe Reader Combo
In case you don’t have it already, Adobe Reader is a free downloadable application that allows you to view any PDF file on any Windows based platform. But that’s as far as it goes. To create PDF files you’ll need to install a PDF converter such as pdf995. To keep the process free and easy, download only the pdf995 printer driver as opposed to the entire suite of applications.
Once the driver is installed, select pdf995 in the printer options window and click “print”. Instead of actually being printed, the file will be converted to a PDF document which can then be stored on your computer for future editing and sharing.
From messages in bottles, to carrier pigeons, to the telegraph, snail mail, fax machines and the internet, technology has come a long way i...
Tweephone : The First Analogue Twitter Client (Video)
Twitter is one of the most popular social networking site and that is why there are lots of Twitter clients available worldwide and the number of Twitter clients are increasing everyday. And here is a new Twitter client, Tweephone. But what makes it totally different from other Twitter clients is that Tweephone is the first analogue Twitter client ever. An analogue app in the time of digital. Sounds crazy, right?

Tweephone is a joint project of two friendly digital firms, UP Digital Bureau and Unteleported Tech Agency. Now anyone can post to Twitter from an old analogue phone which is also hard to find these days. The text dialing on Tweephone is based on the same principle of the modern cell phones. For example, to type «a» you have to dial «2» once, and to get «f» you dial «3» three times. To send the tweet created you just have to simply hang up the phone. All tweets dialed on Tweephone are posted on the personal twitter account of Tweephone which is @tweephone.
Most of the tweets sent from the Tweephone are so short and you can easily understand the reason behind this. And if you are one of those people who think that 140 characters are not enough to express yourself and you find ways to tweet more than 140 characters then, you need to use Tweephone. It will change your mind forever for sure ;)

Man Turns His Hook Hand To Smartphone Dock
People are crazy about the gadgets and smartphones these days. But they are necessary for us too. And as said "Necessity is the mother of all invention", here is a new invention out of necessity. Trevor Prideaux, a guy who born without an arm, turned his hook hand into a smartphone dock to use the phone properly.
As it being circulated, he contacted the Apple to design a modified version of the iPhone for him but they refused. Later the Exeter Mobility Centre and Nokia teamed up to help him. Exeter guys designed and built a new hook arm with a horizontal dock for a Nokia C7 smartphone.
Sounds like a crazy idea but really a good one. Hope that Trevor Prideaux is enjoying now his new hand and the phone much better than earlier :)

How to Find the Greatest Coupons with the Most Savings
People need to be continually be on the lookout for coupons which are a great way to save on all the things we need to buy each day.
Local Restaurants
Our week starts off with Sunday morning coffee at our favorite local restaurant. One thing I love about the coffee shop is that not only do they serve great coffee, accompanied by awesome conversation, but people leave their inserts for the Sunday newspaper behind. We eagerly gather them up gaining many extra free coupons.
Company Newsletters
On Monday, it is back to work for me. My company releases its company newsletter on Mondays. It’s a great reminder to look at company newsletters that arrive in your email. Often times these emails are filled with money saving coupons. In fact, go ahead and sign up for the newsletters from companies that you do business with or plan on doing business with.
Junk Mail
Tuesdays are a great day for us to stay at home and look at the junk mail. This mail that many people just throw away is often filled with coupons. During the rest of the week, we just throw it all in a box. Then on Tuesday nights we open it all and look for coupons.
EBay
Wednesday is church night at our house. As my husband drives to church, I use the Internet on my web phone to look for great coupon buys on eBay. It’s a great use of my time as I often find some real bargains here. After church we read the grocery ads as they come out on Wednesday. Often these ads contain even more coupons.
Magazines
Thursday nights are another stay at home night at our house. It is a great night to read the magazines. Hidden among all those interesting articles are great coupons. It’s not difficult to save enough money with the coupons for the magazine subscriptions to be free. We also encourage our friends, neighbors and coworkers to give us there old magazines. Often these coupons have long expiration dates.
Couponing Sites
Friday nights at our house we look at couponing sites on the internet. You can find coupons by just doing a simple Google search. This search should pull on alot of different coupons for many different products. We also love reading all the blogs with neat ideas for new ways to find coupons.
Packages
On Saturdays we cook supper together. Often times, the packages we use contain great coupons either on the inside of the package or right on the outside. The ones on the outside are easy to grab and pull at the grocery store. The ones on the inside are easy to clip and save while we are cooking.
Couponing is fun. It fits so easily into our lifestyle. We just do what we normally would do anyway, but we keep our eyes open for coupons along the way. That way we can afford to do even more.
People need to be continually be on the lookout for coupons which are a great way to save on all the things we need to buy each day. Local...

Social Media – Why It's Easier for Women
Social media is one of those things that's handled better by women. Of course, there are millions of male Facebookers, Tweeters, and MySpacers out there. But, when it comes to using social media - especially from a business perspective - women just seem to have an easier time with it.
First and foremost, women are better listeners than men. Sure, you may have a great guy friend who will listen to you vent on and on about your boss, but, as a general rule, you're a whole lot more likely to find a woman who will listen to you vent and offer up solutions than a man.
A huge part of social media is listening! After all, post relevant Tweets, Facebook statuses, and information that your target audience wants to hear if you don't actually listen to them. Just by reading their profiles and keeping an eye on their statuses, you can see what they want to learn - and give it to them.
Plus, it's just good business to listen to your social media contacts. If someone becomes a fan of yours or starts following you, see what they have to offer. They might have some great knowledge that can help you out. If they do, follow them back, or become a fan of theirs! Just like that, you've made a connection, and all you had to do was listen a little bit to do it!
Women also have a much easier time expressing themselves. Sure, you can go back to the whole nature/nurture debate, but - whatever the reason - women are usually better at expressing their feelings. The more real and genuine you come across on a social media website, the more people are going to listen to what you have to say and take it seriously.
Women are also great with small talk - something that comes in awfully handy on the social media sites. After all, many of the contacts you make aren't close personal friends. They're possible business associates that you may never even meet in real life. Bottom line - you have to make polite conversation with them, and you may only get 140 characters to do it.

Now, this isn't to say that men don't have what it takes to keep up with the social media world. In fact, there are plenty of popular male social media users out there. But, they may have to work a little bit harder to do it.
Sure, it's nice to think of men and women being equal, but there are just some things that are better-suited to one particular gender. F...

5 Signs You’re Addicted to Your iPhone
You are souls to be pitied, iPhone-addicted masses. There are no self-help books for you, no meetings, no ‘group’ for those of you in possession of the 21st century’s accessory of choice. Even as you read these words, you may have felt the fiery grip of rage at the use of the term ‘accessory’ to describe the greatest device known to man. But how do you know and accept that you’re an addict? The first step is to identify the problem – allow us to help.
5 Signs You’re Addicted to Your iPhone
1. You accidentally slide to unlock your front door
This one’s a real kicker. It’s so simple on your iPhone, isn’t it? An easy mistake to make; we’re not here to judge. Having said that, your door is locked by a power greater than touchscreen, and you still need your keys to get inside. (While we’re on this point, your laptop, although it’s a Mac, doesn’t have a touchscreen either and you’re leaving nasty smudges all over the screen in your efforts to bypass the keyboard-controlled log-in.)
2. Your friends and family buy you vouchers for the iTunes store
It’s the holiday season; it’s a time for family and Bing Crosby, but not for you, you iPhone fanatic. Christmas means one thing and one thing only: iTunes vouchers. Gone are the days when you would eagerly unwrap a gift, wondering what it was, enjoying the crunchy texture of the wrapping paper in your clammy hands. Now you’re passed an envelope containing your ticket to that really cool app your life has been missing, and a card you don’t bother reading. If it’s not an envelope waiting for you under the tree, why even bother opening the damn thing? Oh, iPhone addict, if your mother could see you now… But she can’t, because she doesn’t have a phone with Facetime.
3. You can’t pass an Apple shop without stopping
Let’s be clear though: you don’t only stop, you first scan the window display to see if there’s anything obviously new that you should/must purchase. Then you look at your iPhone for the time, and to double-check your schedule to make sure that you can afford to be late. And even if you can’t, you go in anyway, because you’re in the market for a new iPhone 4S cover, and maybe even some iPhone earphones, colour: magenta. They’ll go with everything.
4. You have nightmares about losing your iPhone
It’s a pain, losing your phone, a pain we’ve all gone through at one stage. But for you, iPhone addict, losing a phone is like losing a limb. God forbid you need to venture somewhere new – how will you possibly find it without your iPhone’s in-built mapping and sat-nav technology? And should you get a tune stuck firmly in your brain, without the Shazam app, how will you ever find out what it is? You can’t Google a melody, dammit! A few days without your phone and you find yourself craving an Angry Birds hit. You’ve completely forgotten how to check your email on your computer, and have rapidly lost touch with all of your friends on Facebook and the trending things on Twitter for the same reason. Without your iPhone, you are doomed.
5. You get irrationally annoyed at anyone who criticises Apple products
Whoa there, easy feller. It’s widely documented that the iPhone 4 had major signal problems upon release. Violence is not the answer, and violent threats under a false name in an internet forum don’t help anyone either. You may think that your baby is the be-all and end-all of communication technology, but that doesn’t mean you don’t play nice with the kids who’ve got BlackBerry phone contracts. And it’s never ok to call someone intellectually inferior based solely on their hardware. You should know better.
If any or all of these signs describe you, we urge you to seek help. Failing that, at least purchase an extra battery on one of your regular trips to your place of worship. It’s the least your baby deserves.

iBall Slide Hands-On Review
I was using the iBall Slide tablet since last few days and now I am going to write a review of it for you all. There are lots of things which I will cover individually in different sections, good or bad.
iBall Slide Hands-On Review
Design
iBall Slide is having the exact look of a low-budget tablet. It lacks the smooth curves and it is a bit thick and heavy as well. All of the jacks are given on the one side only. You can find the microSD card slot (up to 32GB supported with 8GB of onboard storage), mini HDMI out, USB ports for data transfer, power switch, 3.5mm handsfree, DC charging socket and a microphone. On the top Menu, Return and screen lock keys are given.
Interface
iBall Slide is having 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with Android Gingerbread (2.3) which is the best in its range. Nearly every Android tablet in this range is having Android 2.2 only. The capacitive touchscreen is very responsive and works brilliantly. The device is really fast and smooth even while working with several apps at a time but sometimes it gets hanged also. iBall Slide is having the 8GB internal memory which is expandable up to 32GB.
iBall Slide is not having the built-in 3G but you get the support for the 3G data card if you want. It cab be issue for the many people as the number of 3G subscribers are increasing everyday.
Entertainment
It supports nearly every video format. If not then you can get the help of the pre-loaded UT player. The speaker is in the back and works well for the games and random video play. You get the loud sound while using the headphones but it lacks the quality in it.
The screen is really bright and you get sharp images and video on the screen. iBall Slide screen is having the 800 x 480 resolution which is able to play the full HD (1080p), thanks to the nice 1GHz processor.
Also, you will enjoy the gaming experience on it. I played few games with great graphics and iBall Slide was good enough to perform the task in a satisfactory manner. The HDMI output is also a good one and performs well.
Camera
iBall Slide is having the 2MP front cam which you can use to have video chat on Skype etc. The video quality is not that good because of the 2MP cam. Another biggest drawback is that you do not have any rear cam in iBall Slide to take pictures. It really disappointed me.
Battery
As stated officially, iBall Slide is having the mighty 4400 mAh battery which is the biggest in its range but I did not feel the performance up to that. The battery works well but I was expecting really much more than what I got in terms of performance.
Conclusion
iBall Slide is a good Android tablet in its price range and scores over many other Android tablets. If you are not much into taking pictures from the tablet then feel free to go for the iBall Slide
I was using the iBall Slide tablet since last few days and now I am going to write a review of it for you all. There are lots of things whi...
Top 5 DIY Safety Gadgets for Your Home
There are so many niche tools and equipment that may ensure your safety when attempting to fix those niggling chores and odd jobs around the home, but with this guide we aim to highlight 5 universal items that you should use with most jobs to ensure your safety while completing your DIY checklist.
Every aspiring handyman should have this safety equipment to protect his body tools and increase his efficiency on Sunday mornings in the garage.
Top 5 DIY Safety Accessories for Your Home
1. A sturdy pair of protective shoes . While to most it seems your choice of footwear is not that important as safety equipment, but good shoes offer safety to more than your feet alone. Make sure you have good grip on the soles to avoid slipping and that they are close toed shoes without dangling laces. Standing on nails or other debris is a sure way to end any carpentry work.
2. Work gloves provide extra grip and protection to your digits. Safety equipment can prevent accidents by better equipping you for the attempted task. Ensure they have adequate cover and grip and they can save your hands from chemicals, grazes and chafing or any other friction injuries.
3. Work overalls are not simply a fashion statement, but also a practical approach to clothing for home DIY. When working with machinery, it’s important that you have no loose clothing that may get caught in mechanisms or snagged on anything. A single piece denim work overall is a smart choice due to durability and comfort.
4. Safety goggles need to be worn when there is any chance of flying debris from the attempted project. Often an underused piece of home safety equipment, it’s important to protect your delicate body parts. Make sure they are comfortable and durable. Your choice will vary as to whether you are using chemicals or not and check with your local DIY store.
5. Ear Plugssave your hearing in the long run. Parents warn their kids when hearing them listening to loud music, so surely when using an angle grinder you should be wearing ear plugs? Make sure you get one with an approval rating from NVLAP to ensure they meet safety equipment regulations.
So before you start those season changing DIY chores, make sure that you check your garage closet and make sure you have all the recommended items before attempting to check them off your list. This safety equipment is applicable to most, if not all chores, so why would you take any chances with your safety?
When the seasons change there seems to always be those tasks around the home that require your attention. With so many accidents occurring i...

#SocialMediaMarketing: A Guide To Using Twitter’s Hashtag
You have to take your hat off toTwitter, taking a simple idea like status updates in 140 characters and turning it into a global phenomenon, probably had thousands of us screaming ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ But even though the idea is simplicity itself, one thing that does have people confused, especially when it comes to social media marketing, is the use of the hashtag or #.
For many Twitter users adding a hashtag to their tweets has become the norm but what does it actually do and why do you need to understand the best way to use it?
For a start the hashtag is normally applied to a word or phrase often at the end of a tweet, for example ‘today we launched our new android mobile range #androidmobile’. In simple terms the hashtag is a means of connecting tweets that share the same or similar topic, so if you searched for anything with "#androidmobile" against it you would be returned with all tweets containing it.
You can enter search terms with or without using the hashtag. For instance, searches for ‘android mobile’ will return any tweet containing these words; searches for #androidmobile will only return tweets containing #androidmobile. Get it?

It is a simple enough premise. Essentially the hashtag enables tweets with a common theme to be found quickly and easily. Of course it does rely on other users applying the same hashtag term to their tweets before it can really go viral, but often, depending on the nature of a tweet, this isn’t a problem. Take the Japan earthquake for example, when one tweet was posted with #japanearthquake, it was quickly followed by more users adding the same to their tweets helping users find all related information faster. In this sense Twitter has been instrumental in spreading news of conflict and disaster across the world far quicker than other media channels.
What isn’t commonly known is that the hashtag feature is not an official Twitter function, they are simply what users add at the time of posting and anyone can add a hashtag for any subject. So you can see the use of the hashtag has the capability to allow any subject to grow organically whilst making it easier to find and track.
So what does this mean in terms of marketing and business promotion?
Essentially if you want to spread the word about anything using Twitter then you need to create a hashtag people can follow. Sounds simple enough but the twist comes when you consider that common words or phrases could already be in existence. A quick search should reveal what is already being used. Why is this important? Well you want to be creating a hashtag that is associated with you and not someone else.
Another point to consider is the 140 character limit, remember your hashtag is part of this count too, so try not to make it too long, but do make it clear and concise. You also do not have to place it at the end, it can appear anywhere within your tweet. Hashtags can be used for other purposes too such as tracking promotions, seeing what competitors are up to and to follow trends allowing you to react quickly to market changes and customer demand.
The power of Twitter is well documented but many businesses are only just beginning to scratch the surface of its potential. The humble hashtag should become your new best friend when it comes to marketing and promoting your business through this social media giant. #whatareyouwaitingfor?
