You should never go anywhere, even if it is to get those winter supplies without first setting your adt home alarm before leaving the house. Winter is known as a time when more home invasions occur, and you don’t want to come home to find that everything you thought you had is gone.

When you just have to get out during a winter storm, you should be careful when driving on frozen streets. Taking is slowly is the best way to go, and avoiding hills and normally busy streets will serve you well also. Pumping the brakes rather than standing on them will allow you more control when you have to stop.

Any time that you need to get out in cold weather, you should always dress warmly in order to prevent hypothermia. Layers work best because trapping warm air between layers is very effective for staying warm.

Apple May Lower Prices on iMac and MacBook Lines

Apple May Lower Prices on iMac and MacBook Lines

As the computer industry grapples with the protracted recession and slowed consumer spending, rumors have surfaced that Apple plans to lower prices on its iMac and MacBook lines in the near future. AppleInsider reports that the company is making changes that will push down prices. According to AppleInsider, “Word of the changes comes just weeks after the Cupertino-based company became the target of a renewed advertising blitz from rival Microsoft Corp., which is using a new series of controversial television spots to cast Macs as overpriced novelty PCs that command a premium purely for their distinctive aesthetic. Still, people familiar with the matter say Apple’s move towards more affordable Macs isn’t so much a response to Redmond’s marketing antics as it is an interim solution to combat the proliferation of budget notebooks—often called netbooks—until the company is ready to introduce its own take on the market in the much rumored Newton-like web tablet, a project which is taking considerably longer to complete than once anticipated.”

At this point, the details of the new price points and the exact date of when they will become effective (if ever) are unclear. However, Apple could use a bit of a boost in Mac sales. Last month, when Apple released its second-quarter earnings for this fiscal year, it reported that Mac unit sales had experienced their first ever year-over-year decline, although at only three percent it was slight compared to the 6.5% decline in sales in the general PC market.

Amazon Introduces New Widescreen Kindle for Newspapers, Textbooks

Amazon Introduces New Widescreen Kindle for Newspapers, Textbooks

The flagging newspaper industry may receive an unexpected boost from the new widescreen Kindle, the e-book reader that sold an estimated 500,000 devices in 2008. Unlike its smaller predecessors, the bigger Kindle DX, with a 9.7” display (the original Kindle had a 6” display), is being touted as ideal for newspapers and textbooks. According to Forbes, this summer both The New York Times and The Washington Post will be offered to Kindle users at reduced rates to try to boost sales. Amazon has also created partnerships with textbook publishers such as Pearson, Cengage Learning, and John Wiley & Sons.

Of the upcoming partnership, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., chairman of The New York Times Company, said, “This experiment will combine the immediacy of the Web with the readability of the Kindle experience.”

Not everyone is as optimistic, however. Some publishers have voiced concerns about lack of control over pricing and the Amazon proprietary format. Others have suggested that Amazon should consider offering greater incentives for publishers to offer their content on the Kindle.

Moreover, the textbook industry isn’t limping to the extent that the newspaper industry is. And thrifty college students may not be enticed to shell out nearly $500 for a Kindle when they can purchase used textbooks for far less. Still, Arizona State University, Case Western Reserve University, Princeton University, the University of Virginia, and Reed College all plan to test the Kindle on their campuses soon, says Forbes.

The issue of the Kindle’s price tag—and added fees for individual content—is perhaps the biggest obstacle to its adoption. Nonetheless, analysts have estimated that Amazon could see Kindle revenues in the $1.2 billion range by next year, which would put Kindle at four percent of Amazon’s overall revenue.
