That Video Problem – Revisited
Video is the wave of the future – I know, because “everyone” says so. But guess what? It’s not the be-all and end-all that some proclaim. Why? Because people like me will never see it, never hear it. We’re that bunch who live away from the cities – away from easy access to high speed [...]

Do Your Web Pages Play Music?
When someone clicks on your web page, does it automatically start playing music? That might not be a good idea.

Will Foreign Investors Boost Your Business in 2011?
Last night I wrote an Active Rain post about foreign investors buying residential real estate in the U.S. In the year ending in April 2010, their purchases had accounted for 7% of the sales – and predictions are that this year that number will be higher.
