Your Small Business?

Most “experts” think before you sell your small business you should maybe try to acquire another company to look bigger. You should maybe also think about taking on investors. Also, you need to know how much your business is worth. Think you already know that number? Most of you already think you know – but you could be wrong. Most of the entrepreneurs out there just take a wild guess at it. So, before you sell, know your businesses true value. You should maybe hire a business broker to evaluate business. They could give you a true value of what your company is worth in this economy. And last, don’t forget to do your research, after all you want full value.

Intel Corp Pays!

For doing one of the biggest scams around the world last year, Intel Corp, the biggest chip maker will pay euros $1.06 billion in fines. That comes out to about $1.44 billion is U.S dollars. Intel had used illegal sales tactics to stop other chip makers from coming to market. This hurts us, the consumers, we had a cheaper product to buy but couldn’t, because Intel paid them off. One of the other chip makers paid off was AMD, which should be fined as well. After all they took payment to delay computers with their chip in it.

The European Commission stated that Intel broke the law. That law is the EU competition law. They simply paid another maker not to sell their product, which is breaking the law, so now they must pay. About 2 years ago Microsoft pulled the same scam, they where fined euros $899 million, which I think their appealing. I’m sure Intel will appeal as well. Other country’s around the world are fining Intel as well. They better just pay their fines and move on, after all they took advantage of every consumer out there. If they pull this scam again their going to be unable to sell their crap anywhere, and that would be the end of them.

Trouble With Hosting!

Just this morning I had a problem with all of my blogs and my wife’s blogs. All of my regular sites where working just fine, just wordpress software wasn’t working correctly. So the first thing I did was picked up the phone and placed a call to my hosting provider. And to my surprise I was able to speak to a tech right away, no waiting. They pin pointed the problem and helped fix it, sort of. I had to rename a file to get the blogs working until they fixed the problem on their end. But once the problem was fixed I was able to rename the file back. I’m not going to recommend them just yet, so I’m leaving their name out of this post. I would like to work with them a little longer before I recommend them. I would recommend that if you find a company that answers the phone on the other end stick with them.
