Gizmodo - Microsoft Chooses Zune’s Ad Agency to Promote Zune Phone “Pink” - Microsoft pink
Advertising firm McCann Erickson has won a lucrative advertising contract with Microsoft, beating out CrispiBLAH BLAH BLAH the point is, people—Zune advertising people—are now talking on record about Microsoft’s “Pink” project, and gearing up to promote it.
From Adweek:
The Office shift follows a pitch for a new Microsoft mobile offering won by McCann’s T.A.G. unit, said sources. JWT, McCann and fellow roster shop Crispin, Porter + Bogusky competed for that assignment, for which the client used the code-name Pink.
It’s a nice confirmation of previous rumors that Microsoft was shopping the project around, and that’s about the end of the new information. But a quick trip to the McCann T.A.G. site reveals a portfolio that contains three videos for the Zune, including two ads and a trade reel. Zune? Pink? Zunephone! Pinkphone! Pink Zune! Pink Zune phone! And so on.

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.
Saving the World, One Zune at a time… - Thomas Jowers — Seeking Alpha
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

Best Windows 7 Assessment and Planning Toolkit 4.0 Bug Gets a Zune - Just test it - Softpedia
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.”

Gizmodo - RealPlayer SP Rips, Converts, Shares and Syncs Internet Video - Realplayer sp
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.

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.
