Casual Articles - Five Computers With Soul
Hiring good employees is not only important to business, it’s essential. Employees are the heart and soul of a business; they are the mechanism that makes a business run; they are the breath of life that enables a business to be something more than an idea. A business cannot run unless someone (employees, in this case) is doing the work. Any intelligent business owner should want good employees.EMPLOYERS NOT THE ONLY ONES TO FEEL THE EFFECTBad employees not only affect an employer by driving down sales, costing the company unwanted expenses due to negligence or simpl
Amen.
3. iMac Core 2 Duo
Even if Apple products feature prominently in my blog, I'm not an Apple fanboy. My main desktop is Windows-based, and I have many complaints for Macs.
Even more, I disregard Mac Pro (which I still remember as Power Macintosh back from G3 days) as one of the most disgusting leviathans in computer
The comma (Part 1 of 2)The most misused of all marks—the comma—will appear before you in a new way: clearly and understandably. The first step rests on mastery of its more technical uses.In a seriesWhen writing a series with three or more parts, use a comma to separate each part. If the series has only two parts, a comma is not necessary:The fish, cat, dog, bird, and ape are good friends. three or more items – use a comma The dog and cat are good friends. only two – don’t us
Today I will tell you about five computers (in fact, two computers, a video game console, a MP3-player and a cell phone) that really have got the thing that most others lack—the soul.
How often did you wonder—what distinguishes classy iMac from standard gray box computer out of Taiwan? Design? Wrong. Taiwanese no-name boxes have often imitated iMac's design, but never had the same feeling. Usability? Stability? Power? You can often get more, but you'll never compensate lack of spirit by spare megabytes of RAM.
So, today I present to you five pieces of consumer electronics—that really have got soul.
5. iPod
iPod isn't great because of 80Gb storage or big screen. It isn't great because of flashy features. No. iPod is great despite DRM obsessiveness of Apple, despite little customizability and despite high price.
It was the first and only MP3 player that has got soul.
Its little brethren haven't got any; its imitators haven't got any, but iPod has the character of classy prostitute—expensive, stylish and damn sexy.
You never thought that music player can be your friend, but pals at Apple show you the contrary.
4. PlayStation 3
I don't want to participate in holy war of next-gen (or better to say, current-gen) consoles. Xbox 360 is insanely cool and Wii is my personal favorite (for having first innovative control scheme in last 20 years of console development).
But what Xbox can compensate with power and Xbox Live, and what Wii takes with quirky controllers, Mario and Zelda, PlayStation can quickly reclaim with soul. Wii has spirit of its own — childish, quirky and cartoonish, but PlayStation's psyche is of real video game hero. PlayStation's design was created by God's hand, PlayStation's CPU actually is mini-supercomputer of sorts, having eight independent cores, it's HD is large enough to last forever, and so on and so on.
But what you feel when you turn this god-machine on? Strong, silent guy that will spend countless hours with you, real friend whom you can trust. This is PS3's soul. Sony wasn't first one to create a friend-console, but PS3 is the only one that can be included in this Top 5.
Amen.

RSS and other syndication technology has brought some wonderful distribution developments for online publishers so much so that software developers are now buying into the content distribution revolution by producing free software that can generate content rich websites pretty much automatically.As this software is free I took the opportunity to play around with over the weekend and although a bit cumbersome to begin with, once I'd watched the hour of videos included, it was pretty straight forward to use. I have a domain name that I purchased some months ago sitting there

New freelance writers are probably tired of hearing the phrase, "You need to find your niche," without anyone giving them some idea of what their niche might be, or how they might find it. I think it is essential to breaking into freelance writing to find a niche and grow within it. So, then, just what is a niche, and where do you find yours? The unique part of this question is that there is likely a different answer to this question for every writer. It is a simple task that every writer must overcome in order to find even a modest amount of success in freelance writing

Shopping for health insurance can be very discouraging when you become aware of the costs. If you are in search of affordable health insurance, an online quote may be very helpful to you. Purchasing insurance online or simply getting an online quote from one or more health insurance carriers can save you a lot of money on the health insurance you so desperately need.Hospital and doctor bills can be too costly for most people too afford without a health insurance plan. Uninsured or under insured medical bills can spell disaster. A health insurance plan is imperative to your

I have been watching as a several people on a forum discuss, argue and lend their ideas about entry techniques. They are going crazy over what the proper entry should be and why one chart pattern is better than the other. One person has even said how they purchased massive amounts of software to help them enter the market. Now don’t get me wrong, I always use techniques to get me in the market but I understand that this is the least important factor weighing on an investor’s overall success. I use technical analysis every day and I study patterns that allow me to enter with the id

But iMac… iMac has got soul, soul very powerful and still innocent. iMac's spirit is one of geeky schoolboy that got rid of acne and bought some stylish clothing, but still is very geekish inside. With each year iMac grows wiser and more powerful; it loses its teen innocence of early iMacs.
But what it doesn't lose—it's its spirit.
2. iPhone
Let's admit — iPhone isn't that great. Clumsy touchscreen and draconic deal with Cingular are only the tip of iceberg.
In fact, iPhone's greatness consists of two parts—one being heavy marketing hype and other being soul of this cellphone.
iPhone is hybrid between iPod and iMac with some GSM adaptor thrown in, and its spirit is Frankensteinic mix of its parents. iPhone is female geek, and not just female, but feminine, and it tears itself apart between lipstick and calculus, perfume and Star Trek.
Perhaps it will grow up and lose teenage paradox of its nature… but for now, iPhone's psyche is most complicated and problem-ridden of living, breathing, thinking machines from 2007.
1. Cray SX-6
Thinking about #1 machine with soul almost drove me mad. And what saved me from life spent as drooling vegetable, you'd ask?
It was this machine.
To my shame, I've never seen it in action. I'm only fed with talks of those who did. Supercomputers are boring, admit it. They are as lifeless as machine can get… But this one got spirit of its own.
What brought it on the number one spot is its infinite power. I won't describe it to you — you know it yourself, and if you don't, you'll never imagine it.
But with great power comes great responsibility, and this chap bears all of the responsibility. It is wise and stalwart, akin to PlayStation 3 grown twenty years older, but it also retains some basic pleasures of youth. God help you to use this masterpiece as weather calculator or something akin to it… But I think that it is the machine is exactly one that can host artificial mind.
