One of the newest places to submit articles that you have written is Digg. This is a huge social network whose readers actually despise anything that looks like marketing. You probably won’t last two minutes on this site, which has a “burial” feature that kicks overt displays of advertising right off the sight. However if you are very clever about the way you position yourself on Digg you can use it as a marketing tool to bring more visitors to your site and that may mean potential link partners and advertisers. If you are successful at posting writing on Digg then you will likely experience a ton of traffic being brought to your site.

Digg is all about user powered content. Everything is submitted and voted on by the digg community. After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story is popular and receives enough Digg vote, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see. So how can you turn this into an SEO tool?

The first challenge is to get people to give a Digg vote to your posting. This means having an article on the top page or linking to someone who has a story on the top page. However even after you manage that you need to have a fantastic title and summary or the savvy, marketing hating readers on Digg may not even glance at any URL that is attached.

The main way that Digg can be part of a good SEO strategy is in driving a lot of traffic to your site quickly by getting in the top ten read articles on the first page of the site. This creates the kind of buzz and credibility for your site that just cannot be bought using keyword articles only.

The Richter scale was invented in the 1930s by Dr. Charles Ritcher, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. It is a measure of the largest seismic wave recorded on a particular kind of seismograph located 100 km from the epicenter. The wave height is measured by seismograph (type of pendulum with an ink pen or digital recorder) and the output is called seismograms.
As the measurement is based on logarithmic scale, a wave 1 mm (1000 microns) high on a seismogram has magnitude of 3 (because log(1000) =3). Similarly, a wave10  millimeters high would have a magnitude of 4. For reasons that a factor of 10 change in the wave height corresponds to a factor of 32 change in the amount of energy released during the earthquake, magnitude 7 earthquake produces waves
10 x 10 = 100 times as high and release energy 32 x 32
= 1024 times as great as a magnitude 5 earthquake.
Therefore in general sense, an earthquake of 8 RS is not twice as strong as the 4 RS earthquake but many thousand times stronger than 4.

We are planning an extended stay away from home, and my husband wants to bring his desktop, since all his ebay stuff is on it, and he’s concerned that he’ll mess up my laptop, being less than computer literate.

answer:
You can use a desktop on wireless. Is your husband looking to
move a desktop from his personal PC to your laptop? Are you looking to move from one computer to another? If it is the same computer and he is logging into his own account, it won’t matter if he has wireless or not.

Yes, the desktop can be used wirelessly. Buy a USB wireless adapter (if there is no WiFI adapter in the machine) and connect to the hotel’s WiFi network. Another idea (and less cumbersome).is to back the eBay stuff up onto a portable hard drive to use on the laptop. Might be useful to to back it up anyway in case the desktop dies young unexpectedly.
Yes, a desktop can be wireless. What is needed is a wireless adapter.
There are three basic types. an integrated adapter, an adapter card and a USB adapter. The integrated adapter id built into the
motherboard. The adapter card fits in a PCI slot on the motherboard, an easy thing to do, The USB adapter plugs into a USB port. Each has advantages. The card approach and the integrated are always in the desktop and if moving the system, its hard to lose it. The USB adapter ties up a USB port on the system. This is no problem if you have two or more ports but if you have a USB printer, keyboard, mouse, camera, etc you’ll need a USB hub. The USB adapter can also be used on your laptop if it doesn’t have an integrated adapter. All of my desktops have wireless adapters in them.

I’m going to buy an Apple MacBook. And i was wondering which one is the right one for me?
Should i get a big harddrive? Are the new ones out good for burning cd’s, dvd’s, making movies, downloading, doing school work etc.?

answer:
The MacBook Pro is about $2000-$3000. I comes with everything you want. I would imagine the range of upgrades might be less than with a Windows based machine but I don’t know for sure. A MacBook is less money and some that comparably equipped.

If you are willing to look at Windows based machines you can get a lot for your money. I would recommend PCWorld, PC Magazine, and Computer Shopper as places to look for their recommendations. They are very current and can give you reliable information.

Is it possible to convert an avi video with a low resolution to an mp4 video with a resolution of either 720p or 1080p and have it look good? I’ve tried using Super, but it always comes out blurry.
I’m using XP Pro sp3.

answer:
You can add resolution but it will not improve the quality. If you start with a video of poor quality, the final product will be of poor quality.

The problem is that you can’t add any more data than what was there in the original image. Its like resizing a picture larger - all you really get for your trouble is a larger, blurrier image.

It used to be that we’d take our work home with us. Now, thanks to PDAs, we’re taking it every-where. (You didn’t hear it from us, but a certain editor-in-chief has been known to Treo from the loo.)
“Who, me?”
As with any addiction, the first step is admitting the problem. If you take your PDA to weddings and funerals, if it “feels like a third person in your relationship,” enough already!
Cry uncle
The Sheraton Chicago hotel locks up guests’ PDAs free of charge, a service the general manager initiated after kicking his own habit. At the Mayflower Inn and Spa, in Washington, Connecticut, the only place you get cell phone service is on the putting green, “which makes you look really Stupid,” notes one PDA-addicted friend. Check your device at dinner along with your coat, or ask a friend to hold it. (You’re not really going to plead for it back during the salad course, are you?)
All thumbs
If going cold turkey is too overwhelming, set the instant message function to “unavailable” or turn your wireless capabilities off for a while. See? That wasn’t so bad.

If you want to use your cell phone to view videos or to store and view pictures you shot using your mobile’s camera, go for a handset that offers 65,000 colours or above (the higher, the better the quality and clarity) and it should also have a resolution of 640×480 pixels.

If polyphonic ringtones are important to you, opt for models that offer nothing less than 16 polyphonic tones for reasonable sound qualiiy. This means it has the sounds of 16 instruments, which can be played together in the ringtone.

Look for a phone with a Microbrowser feature. This lets you surf the wireless Web. If your phone features a WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) browser, you can use it to view websites that allow this mobile-viewing feature. Also, some Internet-ready phones can be used as a fax modem, but you’ll need to purchase the proper data cables to benefit from it.

Always on the go? Look for a phone that has Bluetooth or infrared. Both features allow you to wirelessly connect with external devices. A phone with an infrared port allows info to be exchanged wirelessly with PDAs or PCs.

Besides talk time, the length of standby time is just as important, especially for those who do not carry chargers. A three to seven-hour talk time is not unusual. But find out whether the battery has enough standby time to last at least the whole day.
