Pirate ISP: Anon For All
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
The Swedish Pirate Party (Piratpartiet), a political party whose main platforms include copyright and patent reform, have recently taken their efforts one step further and have launched an ISP (internet service provider). Dubbed "Pirate ISP," the service seeks to offer anonymity to its users and to provide financial assistance to Piratpartiet.

The E-Evolution
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
When I used to think of marketing, I thought of brochures, business cards, signs, paper advertisements and person-to-person sales. Now, with the evolution of technology has revolutionized the way we market.
Marketing today is not the same it was even a year ago. Where I used to look for ads in newspapers, I look for ads online. Most of the time, the online sales at, Macy’s for example, offer a better selection and sale prices than in stores. It is also all about convenience.
