Hard Choices!

I read the other day that the Commerce and Agriculture Departments have a few hard choices to make very soon. The choice they need to make is how to spend $4 billions on laying cable wire. If you ask me it sounds like a waste of money, but others think it’s wise spending. The problem is that they got over 2000 applications asking for the money. The total asking price for the money is over $28 billion. Some asking for the money have no business asking. For example, some city’s want the government to pay to setup their city with a wireless network, come on now, pay for it yourself. The main purpose of the bill is to reach rural communities, poor neighborhoods, not for city networks and personal labs. I sure hope they make the right choices, because we can’t afford anymore wasteful spending.

Reliable Hosting!

Most of you already know that I had problems with my web hosting services in the past. My sites would always go down for hours at a time. One time my sites went out for two days. I would send email after email and never got a response. As you can imagine this was very frustrating. And the thing that made me the maddest was I felt trapped. Because feeling trapped meant that I was going to need to start all over again. And I was also afraid of losing some of my site information. But I’m here to tell you not to be afraid and make the move if your hosting provider is failing you. The move wasn’t that bad at all, matter of fact it was pretty easy. So I did a little work and found a hosting provider where you can get reliable web hosting. The web hosting company I came across tonight can meet all your business needs. This web hosting site also offers some of the best ecommerce web hosting I’ve come across. And on top of providing all their great services, you can really depend on them. So don’t be affraid, do your research, and make the right choice.

Closed Captioning!

Google Inc. has introduce automatic, machine generated captions for the videos on YouTube. This is a forum of a new service from Google. They launched it a few weeks for only a few of their top channels on YouTube. A few of those channels are PBS, National Geographic, as well as for a few schools. This new technology is intended to make online videos accessible to the deaf and hearing-impaired. Although there’s video’s already with captions YouTube would like to see this feature on all of them. People that upload video‘s right now are adding captions manually, which could take time for the user. This will hopefully save time for the user, and space for YouTube. And another thing to think about is, with this new speech recognition technology this could give YouTube more of the market share, which would mean more money from advertisers. After all that’s all Google really cares about, right, or I’m wrong?
