Zune MAX is an original Zune blog and forums for Zune HD owners to share mp3 music, movies, and XNA games for Zune. We have grown into an all around entertainment blog with mobile technology news and reviews, tips and strategy for Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Facebook Games.
The job market is getting hot and everyone is looking to upgrade their salary or make a career move to a better job. The search fgor jobs has taken on a whole new look with the internet leading a shift in the industry.
Job searches used to be more about grabbing your local paper or asking a friend but the internet has changed all of that in the last few years and job searching online is more confusing than it should be. Major job search engines like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com have been overwhelmed with new job seekers and the colume of resumes you get when you put a job on these sites is just plain ridiculous. We had an ad for a secretarial position that received over 1000 applicants in just the first 2 weeks.
How can you expect to find a job with that much competition? You just can’t and people have begun to get creative in their job searching. Localized search engines are gaining popularity where as an example you can find Philadelphia Jobs by searching a job search engine that is tailored to your geographical area. If you were living in this area and needed to find a job in Philadelphia then your search should target your desired location specifically.
These niceh directories offer Philadelphia Job Seekers the ability to find the Philadelphia Jobs they need without having to deal with the hassle of picking through jobs you cannot take because they are too far away.
This article below goes on about how many CD’s you save the planet if you buy a Zune but there was little comparison to the damage the battery and other heavy metals inside your portable media players that are not properly disposed of and end up in waterways or landfills where they are doing more damage than a lot of CD’s.
I think if we had an environmental impact tax on items like batteries and other dangerous materials you would find a lot more green equipment being developed. I do not think I would call a Zune eco friendly unless it were properly recycled in the end of it’s life but I can certainly see the article writers point as to the number of plastic disks saved by harddrive players.
Did you know that buying and using a Zune is saving the world? (not just the Zune, but an Ipod, or any other MP3 player)
My Zune 80 holds 177 albums as of right now. If I had to buy all of those albums think of all the packaging waste that would come with those.
cdrecyclingcenter.com says that MILLIONS of plastic CD’s are thrown away every year!
Don’t get me wrong, millions if not billions of CD’s are ‘reused’ by the used CD market, you only have to visit ebay to see the huge amount of numbers of music and other types of CDs being reused. That is Great, but eventually they will end up in the trash.
On the other had, not many Zunes end up in the trash, you can still sell a broken Zune for a good amount, I sold a broken iphone for $200 that I washed in the washing machine (long story)
If i washed a CD would anyone pay me $1 for it? I think not.
Just think about, save some packaging, buy a Zune instead of a CD
Not that keen on downloading and test driving the Beta of Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 4.0 Beta for free? Well, Microsoft has upped the stakes, and is offering an incentive for testers that are willing to test the latest development milestone of MAP 4.0 and provide feedback. Essentially, the Redmond-based company is ready to reward the best filed bug for the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 4.0 with a Zune digital media player. A single Zune 120GB music player will be offered to the Beta participant that will submit the top bug on the way to RTM of MAP, Microsoft explained.
“The criteria are simple. At the end of the Beta Program, the development team will select the most impactful code-specific bugs for the RTM release. The filer of this bug will be the winner,” revealed Baldwin Ng, Microsoft Sr. Product Manager, Microsoft Solution Accelerators. “Note: It is the quality of the bug on our software code that counts and not the number of bugs that you filed. We welcome you to file bugs on typos and grammatical errors; however, these bugs will not be accepted for this contest.”
Real’s new RealPlayer SP software, currently in beta, adds functionality to rip YouTube and other streaming videos from the Internet and get them onto whatever handheld you choose. It works well enough, but it’s also crammed full of unnecessary features.
RealPlayer SP is the evolution of the long-running RealPlayer software, which has become a multi-limbed beast of a program: It’s a media manager and player, along with a packaged web browser, a subscription and a la carte music store (Rhapsody), a gaming store (Real Arcade), an audio recorder, and now a streaming video ripper/converter with ties-in to social networking sites. It is at the moment Windows only, though we’re assured a Mac version is forthcoming. The beta comes in two versions: One is free, and the other costs $40 and includes H.264 conversion, DVD playback and DVD burning.
The SP stands for Social/Portable, so you can get a hint of where they’re going with all this. In addition to RealPlayer itself, the software integrates a button to rip video into your browser (Firefox, Chrome, and IE are supported, Opera is not, no word yet on Safari). This new addition includes a converter to pretty much every portable video format you could imagine, from BlackBerry to Symbian to iPod to Zune.
Where RealPlayer SP is convenient is in this video conversion, especially if you’ve got a more niche phone or PMP (and I certainly do). Normally, conversion to Zune-supported video is kind of a pain in the ass, but RealPlayer SP handles it easily and well. For newer devices like the Palm Pre and BlackBerry Bold, RealPlayer SP can pass the converted video right through to the player, while it’s able to go through iTunes to get video onto an iPhone or iPod touch. Older or less common devices, like my BlackBerry Curve 83xx and my Zune, are still supported, but you’ll have to copy the new video files over manually.

Catfight! – 3 song demo
May 1st, 2007
There is this band from around here called Catfight! Ever heard of them? No me neither& but I’m sure everyone will soon. The band is just infectious. I mean, they have all the right hooks to sing along to, the gritty White Stripes-y guitar, and their tracks are produced so damn well. I am totally surprised these guys (and gals) aren’t playing way bigger shows. Wait& they opened for Bloodhound Gang and Goldfinger& what??
The band sent me a sampler of three songs from one of their albums and they seem to just breeze by meriting a few repeats. There is an obvious influence of Dandy Warhols and White Stripes, but they are different in a way. For one, their harmonies are tight and the production is much cleaner, really making the music approachable. They have that guy/girl vocal thing going and it works well.
The names of the songs were not included with the CD and my pop-up internet song finder thing says Elvis Presley, but the third song on the disc has the lyrics “My candy cane”. That song is probably the best of the three, featuring a synth line beneath subdued vocals, and then exploding with the candy sweet chorus. It really reminds me of those Warhol guys.
The second track has a killer guitar harmony and the singer shouts “Getting ready for the weekend, getting ready for the summer, getting ready for the show,” which I imagine people will probably do when the band finally breaks.
I mentioned it before, but the production of the disc is absolutely great. They enrolled Jason Robbins (Lenny Kravitz, Ben Harper) as engineer, so I guess that will explain it. Everything sounds so clear while maintaining the dirty sound they are going for. The vocals especially benefit from this.
I’m going to go out on a limb and give these guys less than a year before they make it big-time (in Portland standards). They’ve got something super great.
For some of us our websites are more than just a play thing and they are more of a way of life for us to suuport our family and lives. Nothing has an effect on a websites performance like webhosting does and without proper web hosting your website is going to fail you. We have been dealing with poor webhosts long enough to know that you have to trust a good webhosting rating site that can keep you on top of whats available from webhosting providers and the various services they offer.
Packages change every day and it may be time for you to expand your webhosting by upgrading to a more powerful package or you may need to consider dedicated webhosting where you can get your own server and really power up those website projects of yours.
We upgraded to a webserver after our shared webhosting package was hacked and we lost just about our entire website including members in our forum and all of their personal settings. In the end we never fully recovered and the zune forums are suffering from lack on involvement. Don’t let your website get hacked or lose valuable data, make sure you have reliable webhosting and a decent backup program in place to secure your data and insure the success of your website projects.
