Occupy Wall Street Is A Sad Commentary For The Trend Developing In The United States

 Blaming others for your problems never solves anything.

It is aggravating to see these "Occupy Wall St" individuals (also called imbeciles) protest an institution that has done (and does) more for this economy than the institution they are supporting. They place the blame on their "misfortunes" on someone else instead of where the blame should really be.

Someone should tell these misinformed individuals that small businesses have generated 64% of all jobs in the last 15 years in the U.S.

Represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms.

They need to realize that banks are not making small business loans, the only place for funding right now is in Lower Manhattan and what do you want to do, impede that?

They call it an "American Revolution". Really? Is that what America is all about? "I deserve", "you owe me"

Here is the list of Occupy Wall Street's 13 demands (ironic it's 13). They left out one demand that's essential for this, an endless supply of money tree seeds. Their thinking is that the government has an endless supply of money and that these demands are owed to them.

Think these guys aren't a little nutty? Here's one demand "Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all".


Yes, there were individuals that took advantage of the system, not just on Wall Street, but in almost EVERY industry during the boom. So these people want to choke the only source of funding we have in the US?

Do these people realize that they threaten the jobs of people not making millions on Wall St?

If you want to blame someone for not having a job, blame yourself. If you have the energy and time to spend protesting, you have the time to create a job. I didnt say find, but CREATE a job.


Cain is right. "Don't blame Wall Street," Cain said. "Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself." (source CNN) This guy overcame far greater obstacles than these protesters.



There's a huge resource available for everyone to get re-educated. If you have the time to tweet or post on Facebook, you have the time to learn a new skill. There are umpteen sites out there that teach you ways to make money using the Net. None of them suggest wasting your time with online games or social media.

The Internet affords anyone to learn a new skill. The biggest library in the world is open 24/7 and it's free. Take advantage of it by educating yourself, instead of blaming someone else for your situation.

As MJ Demarco calls this the Law of Victims. "everyone has a solution to their problems but them. And their problems? Not their fault. Nope someone else is to blame. Instead of looking within, they look outward and project responsibility to some other entity.

If you want to earn a salary, or generate income, "raise your value to society"

It's disturbing to see members of Congress actually encouraging this behavior.  I guess these individuals dont mind other outrageously overpaid millionaires joining their movement.

When you rely on others for your happiness and fortunes, you are in big trouble.

Another Tell For The Next Investing Boom

Just another sign that we are starting to see The Next Investing Boom emerge. 

Establishing the infrastructure to support personalized medicine, creating a quick development pathway for therapies and improving the medical-device review process are among the major actions the Food and Drug Administration outlined in a new report released Wednesday designed to spur innovation.

The report was released on the same day the journal Health Affairs and the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress sponsored a briefing on Capitol Hill about personalized medicine, which tailors medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient.

The Millionaire Tax...Why They Just Don't Get It

Struggling to deliver the big jobs package proposed by President Barack Obama, Senate Democrats are using the issue to force Republican senators to vote on tax increases for millionaires, picking up on a White House theme that the nation's wealthiest Americans aren't paying their fair share. (Source ABC News)

They just dont get it. They must not have taken Economics 101 in school.

What is considered "fair share"? The key word in this paragraph is "paying". They are paying. They are contributing.

These politicians fail to recognize that these millionaires are responsible for a lot of jobs AND creating new jobs. They create jobs that actually are productive for their business versus the artificial, temporary, basically welfare with a title, jobs created from the Stimulus packages.

This logic goes against every rule in Economics 101. I would love to see the stat that would show how many jobs would be lost versus how much tax revenue created. The government has proven it cant run a business profitably and any jobs it creates aren't productive...just human subsidies.

That is why a civil rights attorney should never have been chosen to run the biggest corporation in the world.

 Chances are these millionaires took risks to build their business. How do you reward them, by increasing their taxes? Keep in mind these millionaires are also generating tax revenue. They are actually giving (generating tax revenue), not taking. The problem in this country is we have too many takers, not enough givers. The government rewards and takes care of the takers, and penalizes the givers.

Here's a HUGE wakeup call. There is a MAJOR TREND starting to develop. The number of givers is starting to decrease big time and the number of takers is starting to increase big time. Even the WSJ recognizes it.

I'll explain it to those politicians that don't get it. The number of people that will generate tax revenue is starting to decline rapidly. The number of people that will require assistance from the government is increasing rapidly.

There are 2 major problems that need to be resolved before this economy gets traction:

1. there needs to be a job creating program put in place.

a. I have an easy solution for that I call AmeriCAN (capitalism America needs)

2. the housing market problem needs to be resolved.

a. determine the REAL number of homes that are for sale (foreclosures and the ones bank own but not publicly stated). Banks cant determine assessed value if they dont know what the true supply is.

b. force banks to take risks by lending. There is no incentive for banks to lend when they can get a guaranteed 2-3% on their money. Have you noticed the ONLY construction in this country are new banks? Ironic that they are also holding a ton of unwanted property.

With interest rates so low, homeowners USUALLY refinance their mortgage at lower rate which gives them a few hundred/thousand extra a month for living or paying off credit card. This is the cycle that kickstarts every new economy cycle. Banks and their unwillingness to lend is stalling this recovery. They are unwilling to lend because they are getting a guarantee on their money from the US Govt and they have no way of determining a homes value.

Mr. Obama here is how America creates new jobs (job creation solution).

America is loaded with creative, hard working people. Give them free fishing poles.

Microsoft Yahoo Acquisition Makes No Sense...Here's What They Should Do Instead

Microsoft is looking at Yahoo again?...really?

Just because Yahoo is approximately $25B cheaper than when Microsoft first looked at it, doesnt make it a better investment. Let the Chinese have it.

Microsoft is a company still stuck in the 90's and has made poor acquisitions ever since.

The computing space has changed and Mister Softee has failed to realize, or adapt to it.

Their search engine Bing is losing $1B per quarter.

The next generation Net devices have their operating system in the cloud, not on the device. Bye bye Windows.

Android and iOS own the mobile space too.

Office is on its way out too. Google put that technology on the cloud years ago.

The only thing saving Microsoft is their huge bankroll earned from their "old" business.

As CNN states "A company that once symbolized the future is now living in the past"

There are many companies they should be looking to acquire, Yahoo ain't one of them.

There's an industry that is going to require massive computing power. It will require a bunch of new software programs. Intel, Google, AOL, have not spent a dime on it.

 Do you know where they should be spending their money?

Here's your chance to reinvent yourself Microsoft. Don't become another Kodak.

WiFi Patent Troll Threatens To Sue Anyone Using WiFi

I'm going on record and saying this patent and lawsuit will pave the way for future intellectual property suits.

Ok I'm all for capitalizing on upcoming trends but this is ridiculous. I also believe less government intervention is a good thing too, but in this case I think it is warranted.

Do you realize the economic impact this suit could have on our economy?

Who is infringing, the equipment manufacturers, the service providers, the hotspot owners, the end users?

I am waiting for the owner of the patent for TV viewing for more than the owner of the TV to show up next.

 Have the government step in and resolve this before it gets out of hand.

Any patent that threatens the US economy and could stifle innovation, I think needs to be reviewed and modified by US Patent Office.

From TechDirt WiFi patent troll says wont sue individuals "at this stage"

a patent troll that recently acquired a portfolio of patents that its lawyers (what, you think there are any employees?) appear to believe cover pretty much any WiFi implementation. They've been suing coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants and hotels first -- including Caribou Coffee, Cosi, Panera Bread Co, certain Marriotts, Best Westerns, Comfort Inns and more

the small businesses who own individual hotels and probably have no idea how to deal with a patent infringement lawsuit -- all because they dared to offer WiFi somewhere in their hotels. To make it "easy" of course, Innovatio's lawyers will let them settle for between $2,300 and $5,000. In almost every case, that's going to be cheaper than hiring a lawyer to just get started dealing with this -- which I'm sure is exactly what Innovatio intends.

How The US Postal Service Can Reinvent Themselves

Name one US Government run business that generates a profit?  That might take a while.
 
 The US Postal Service is a prime example why the government should not be in charge of any type of  business. It represents ANOTHER government funded/run business that cant generate a profit. If the Us Govt was a "real" business, it would have filed Ch 7 a long time ago.


Here are the scary stats:

 It has 574,000 employees, making it the nation’s second-largest civilian employer, after Wal-Mart. The service runs 215,625 vehicles, the world’s largest civilian fleet. Those vehicles traverse 1.25 billion miles annually and consume 399 million gallons of fuel. Its carriers serve 151 million homes, businesses and post office boxes.(source NY Times)

Here's how it could reinvent itself:

For 6 days a week, it comes in contact with just about every person in the US. Every person in the US has given the US Postal Service "permission" to place mail and 3rd party advertising in their mailbox. Outside of your email provider and Facebook, what other company "touches you" every day?

There is no spam folder in your mailbox. You look at every piece of mail you receive. Over 150 million "email addresses" that will look at an ad. Surely there's a way to take advantage of that.


There are over 200,000 vehicles that could be used for other purposes on the daily route. Why couldn't Google pay the US Govt to put their Google Earth cameras on top of each car?

Here's another idea. Why couldnt a service provider attach an antenna to each truck for some kind of WiFi service offering. Use the govt vehicles to test new broadband services, or webcam ideas?


There are numerous post office locations that could provide other services than just stamps, packaging etc. Why doesn't the government take advantage of this real estate? What other services would you use in combination with your mailing business?

Yes the Internet has reduced the amount of mail volume. However, the US Postal Service still comes in contact with a majority of the US population every day in some form (mail box, trucks, post office).

There is a huge opportunity here if the US Government would be a little creative. It has to stop thinking like a government agency and start thinking more like a business. If it was run like a business and was worried about generating a profit, I am sure the powers to be would find additional ways to generate a profit..and I dont mean by just raising stamp prices.

The US Govt is sitting on some very valuable assets, but it takes creativity to monetize them.

Amazon's Silk...The First Cloud Computing Browser And A Big Threat To Google?

When Amazon announced the launch of the Kindle Fire, probably the biggest story was the introduction of Silk, the browser on it.

In addition to being a much faster way to surf, the Silk browser and Amazon will be creating a huge database of surf habits/history. A threat to Google's advertising business?


A typical web page requires 80 files served from 13 different domains. This takes a regular browser hundreds of round trips, and adds seconds to page load times.

When you use Silk, without thinking about it or doing anything explicit, you’re calling on the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud (AWS).

A typical web request begins with resolving the domain names associated with the server and establishing a TCP connection to issue the http request. Establishing TCP connections for each request consumes time and resources that slow down traditional browsers. Silk keeps a persistent connection open to the backend server on the AWS cloud so that there is always a connection at the ready to start loading the next page.

In addition, the Silk backend server keeps persistent connections open to the top sites on the web. This approach further reduces latency that would otherwise result from constantly establishing connections. Further, the connection between Silk and the backend infrastructure uses a pipelined, multiplexing protocol that can send all the content over a single connection.

Should Google be concerned?

The Internet Of Things or Physical World Connection

When every physical object is, or can be connected to the Internet, ie (Physical World Connection), is when a revolution occurs.

Some call it the "Internet of Things", I also call it the Internet Phase 2.

Cars, refrigerators, billboards, tennis rackets, water heaters, digital cameras, stop signs, airplanes, sprinkler systems and any physical object you can think of, will soon be "connected" to the Internet. This occurs with various types of Physical World Hyperlinks.

Let me summarize what these are:

A Physical World Hyperlink is any sensing device (RFid, GPS, ZigBee etc) or a machine readable identifier (barcode, image, sound etc) that when initiated or scanned provides an Internet connection (or a connection through the Net).

The ability for devices (more than PCs and mobile phones) to connect (or have the ability to connect to the Net) will offer some exciting applications.

The ability for individuals and corporations to connect/interact via the Net, created new multi-billion dollar companies/industries (Google, eBay, Amazon, YouTube). This also allowed economies to become so much more efficient.


The areas to watch for Physical World Connection are:

The Next Investing Boom

What a week. Not because the stock market took such a beating but because several medical breakthroughs were announced providing the tipping point for the next investing boom. Astute investors I am sure noticed it though.


Sangamo Biosciences announced a gene therapy cure for AIDS  and there may finally be a cure for Parkinson's disease. Breast cancer was also shown to be cured using gene therapy. Gene therapy was even proven to treat blindness.

Pfizer received FDA approval for a drug that shrinks or eliminates tumors associated with lung cancer. They are using genetic testing  to determine if patient has the gene for this therapy.

  And this is the key to gene therapy
There is a company that controls the IP for junk DNA. It can be found in the list of Patent Play Stocks 

Genomics, or "personalized medicine" will be the next investing boom. It will be much larger than the Internet boom and will create more millionaires than the Internet Wave did.

The Internet was all about saving time and communication.
The personalized medicine boom is about adding time. More specifically, adding years to life.

How much will it be worth? Trillions. Why?

I don't know if it will be a zero sum situation but try to get your head around these 2 figures.
1. the amount of money spent to treat the disease/condition
2. the amount of money lost when disease/condition is cured



Sending a document anywhere in the world, buying a book/song, speaking to anyone all done using fiberoptics was revolutionary. Billions of dollars have been generated in revenues, thousands of new companies have been created and numerous networths have been changed.

That is nothing compared to what's ahead. The amount of money that will be spent by various industries and people, to live longer and better will be in the trillions.

 Here is an excerpt from the book How To Find Big Stocks It discusses the companies and technologies to look for in this upcoming wave.

I consider this wave the biggest “problem solver” ever that will affect every person in the world, rich or poor. It will create and destroy multi-billion dollar companies.

The 30,000 "switches" in your body (genes) or the "software of life", represent the next investing boom.

With the Internet boom, the first movers were the chip companies, PC manufacturers, and Internet providers. They provided the infrastructure to make it happen. It was people selling maps, picks and shovels that made the fortunes during the gold rush boom.

With the personalized medicine boom, the first movers will be (and already are) the companies that: provide access to the human genome (DNA), the testing kit manufacturers, DNA analysis technology, and the testing companies themselves.

What will also accelerate this investing boom? There are 10 billion dollar drugs, also known as "blockbusters" coming off patent in 17 months. The pharmaceutical industry is being disrupted big time. The days of one drug treats or cures all, are over. Drugs will now be specialized or personalized, and that is going to require knowing how genes work. The human genome database is going to be accessed A LOT.

Get ready for this investing boom. They say the Internet boom was a once in a lifetime thing. The fortunes created will never happen again. Never say never. The "personalized medicine" investing wave will blow away the wealth that was created during the Internet boom.

You are going to see multi-billion dollar companies get crushed when this wave hits. Think of what happens to the companies that make billions to TREAT a disease or condition. How do they stay in business when the disease is CURED. Billions of dollars are generated to just treat cholesterol and high blood pressure.

While sending a document anywhere in the world, buying a book/song, speaking to anyone has made our lives much easier, personalized medicine will extend our life and make it better. How much is that worth?

To get an idea of what disruptive technologies and companies I am looking for in this wave, and others,  my book How To Find Big Stocks explains it all. I disclose the tool I use and used, to turn $10k into $2.8m in 2 years.

There are 3 waves I am watching that are all "wealth changers". I even give you the specific technologies I am looking for right now in one of the waves.

Bill Cosby "I'm 76 and Tired"

A little off topic but extremely enlightening.


Bill Cosby "I'm 76 and Tired"


I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's bedeck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

Half Of Cancer Deaths Are Preventable

 Personalized medicine will transform medicine from reactive to proactive.

From CBS Marketwatch Half of cancer deaths are preventable

According to the American Association for Cancer Research, cancer is not a single disease, but more than 200 different ones.

Even when patients have a hereditary link with cancer, they can choose to have cancer-risk counseling that may help them take control if further prevention options or more aggressive screening is needed, said Dr. Jeffrey Weitzel, 

director of the Department of Clinical Cancer Genetics at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. 

"Genetics isn't necessarily destiny," Weitzel said. 

"Advanced protocols... are designed to take what we know about breast cancer and epidemiology and turn it around in a way that might allow prevention." 

Earlier diagnosis of breast cancer, for example, often allows not just for better odds of beating it altogether, but also better quality of life during treatment than was achievable even a few years ago, he said. 

"Right now what we have is a good circumstance," Weitzel said. "We're having to try to figure out ever more carefully which of the early-stage patients truly need therapy and which could be spared, whereas previously we were hoping just to have a greater proportion of them be earlier-staged."

Google Wallet...Know What Google Should Do Next?

The launch of Google Wallet will be very disruptive and should have a couple industry leaders concerned. Do you know what they should do now?

The ability to make purchases using the credit cards in/on your mobile phone opens up a big window for Google. This app enables Google to make the leap from the PC to the mobile device and will provide an enormous amount of data for ads.

In addition, getting daily Google Offers (Groupons) sent to your phone and being able to buy them just by swiping your phone at the retailer just shut out Groupon and all of the other group buying players.

When Amazon launches their tablet later this year and pushes their daily deals that will be big too, but the mobile phone is a lot easier to carry with you than a tablet.

Ok here's what Google should do. Because people are going to be hesitant to use their phone for credit card purchases, I imagine the idea of using a prepaid card, like Google already has, will be enticing. This will let consumers try out the Google Wallet without exposing all of their financial data at once.

I think the Google Prepaid Card will be a hit. But why should Google let other credit card companies fund this credit card? The money is in financing charges and transactions. Google also gets the data from your purchases too. Google has already established the infrastructure with the NFC platform so getting merchants on board is done.

With the money Google has, why can't they start their own credit card company?

Google...The New And Massive Cable Network?

I highlighted the story of why Google is Turning YouTube into a cable alternative. It boils down to the recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility.

Internet enabled TV changes the dynamics of Internet traffic and advertising.

Do you think Google has their eye on TiVo and their IP (Tv/Net)? It would complete the package.

In my book, How To Find Big Stocks, I discuss the TV Commerce wave and how it will disrupt several industry leaders. I also highlight several technologies to be on the lookout for. I call this where Sesame Street meet the Jetsons before they go to Wall Street.

Amazon Versus Apple..Which Offers Greater Upside?

Many people mocked Jeff Bezos and his Internet vision, heck he even looks and acts kind of funny. However, this November he will be regarded as a visionary.

Amazon created a one stop ecommerce shop for any type of merchandise and made it simple to buy with their one click technology. They opted to stay away from the music side and focus on books with the Kindle (hardware).

The ad supported version of Kindle, when idle, will display the Amazon Local Deals. Amazon found a way to "push" these deals...am I the only tired of getting endless groupon type emails?

So Amazon is really the first group buying player with their own piece of hardware..sorry Groupon you can't compete with this. Amazon already knows my billing info and I can easily one click to buy the latest deal.

If Amazon's Local Deals is anything like their Kindle Content, or Selling Platform, they just created one of the most effective ways for a small business to broadcast their daily deal.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Amazon create a secondary market for group deals too.

Now Amazon will be launching their own tablet, the Amazon Tablet for $250 Kindle Fire for $199 (and it's on pace to outsell the iPad and iPad2) in November...it may not kill the iPad sales, but it will sure take a good chunk of their marketshare away.


Amazon is valued at $100B, approximately one third of Apple's $300B.

Apple has done a fantastic job of selling digital content and hardware that supports it..but here's what they missed.

Four years ago I said that Apple needed to find a way to diversify the content/merchandise offered on iTunes. They have a one click purchase portal and use it for more than digital content.

Which company do you think offers greater upside?

Patent Play Stocks

With the surge of acquisitions in the intellectual property space, I have created a list of publicly traded companies with patents that might be classified as disruptive.

In my book, How To Find Big Stocks, I discuss how intellectual property is the new "raw material" for the U.S. economy and the Internet is the new manufacturing and distribution system.

I give you a tool that spots waves and Big Stocks in them.

The How To Find Big Stocks Newsletter highlights companies we feel are poised to turn into Big Stocks.

Patents and ways to monetize them, represent a huge investable wave coming.

Mortage Default Notices Could Signal Bottoming Of Housing Crisis

It's hard to value a home when you dont know what the true supply of homes for sale in the are is.

Looks like we will be getting closer to finding out that figure.

Mortgage default notices surge

Delays in processing have artificially lowered the foreclosure numbers over the past year, so this new surge is likely addressing loans that have been long delinquent, but unaddressed.

A New Moore's Law

Energy, not speed, is the new metric in technology.

Koomey's Law more important than Moore's Law? If the computing is now taking place on the cloud, does speed of processor matter any more?

Or is battery life of device connected (not speed) take priority?


Energy replaces speed for technology growth performance.

Move Over Bill And Andy, Steve Is Now Leading

 This week marked a tipping point in the world domination of technology leadership. For years Microsoft's Windows and Intel's chips, known as "WinTel", represented the "Gorillas" in the technology space. These 2 companies had the key enabling technology for the PC industry. Their market caps combined MSFT (220B) and INTC (120B) equal $340B.

Think about how many "computers" have that Apple logo..iPods, iPads, MacBooks etc. Each one of those represents a new PC. Now consider all of those PCs have an Apple operating system inside too.

As the PC went mobile, a new leader emerged, Apple. When Apple announced their earnings this week their share price appreciated enough as their market capitalization exceeded $350B.

 Apple, sitting on $76B cash, is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined. A new leader has emerged.

What I see next:

As computing shifts from the device to the cloud, a new leader will emerge. There will be a new gorilla. The "power" of processing will take place on some server miles away from your device. Google's Chromebook and its 8 second bootup and limited software programs will be the new norm.

Content on your device will shift to being stored on the cloud. Gaining access to it will be CRITICAL, there's the area I would watch. Devices will rely on Net connections now more than ever. Access and security will play key roles going forward.

Microsoft, Intel and Cisco, once the "Kings of Tech" have fallen. We are witnessing the next generation of technology.

Augme Buys Mobile Barcode Player Jag Tag

Cisco predicted 50 billion "things" will be connected to Net by 2020. The "Internet of Things" is definitely a trend to watch.

A barcode represents a URL to a camera phone, or a physical world hyperlink. Any physical object can now be linked to the Internet.

JagTag, one of the companies on my Physical World Connection list, was acquired by Augme today.

(the Physical World Connection list should provide some additional acquisition candidates)

Will This Be The Final Curtain For Newspapers?

I just saw a TV ad for CouponSuzy. A site that lets you print out coupons from your favorite consumer goods.

They also offer a Daily Deal section too.

What I am wondering is this.

How much revenue do the coupons generate for local newspapers?

If you can get the same coupons online (from a plethora of coupon sites), does this stick a fork in the local newspaper?

Does this make Microsoft a player again?

The possibilities for this partnership are huge. How does this impact mobile phone providers?

Google in talks to buy Hulu. link
I am wondering if Google's ownership of YouTube will prevent this from happening. A video monopoly? Largest media could get a lot bigger.

WiFi hotspots represent the new cell network link
Mobile carriers should be concerned. Technology that let cell calls seamlessly switch from cell to hotspot should be huge.

A rare earth discovery in Japan could ease supply issues link


Justin Timberlake spends $35m to buy MySpace. link. Imagine what he could do with a membership of 135 million members. Change the name of the site and target a certain demographic or industry.

Will WiFi Hotspots Replace Cell Towers?

You may not realize it yet but your home will soon become a cell tower.

Every coffee shop, airport, book store, mall, stadium will have them too.

When a wi-fi router is added to a broadband Internet connection, it becomes a wireless broadband “cell tower”.

GigaOm discusses the future of the cell phone network saying the future of cellular service the Wi-Fi hotspot will have a starring role. link

The rapid increase of data being sent across the mobile network will force mobile carriers to push this traffic to a more efficient and faster highway, the wifi hotspot.

Technology that enables this has been called The Next Big Thing For Mobile

The easiest and most cost effective solution for wireless carriers to solve this upcoming bandwidth bottleneck is to enable a cellphone on their network to seamless switch to a wi-fi network when the signal is too weak or it becomes cost effective.

Most cell phones are equipped with the necessary hardware to do this, the only thing missing is the software.
 

Want to know the company that has this software?

Think about it, every router represents a personal cell tower. Cities dont want to build more towers so why not use the hundreds or thousands of "towers" already established.

I found the company with software that enables seamless switching across any frequency that I call the Wireless Wonder.

One of the most prestigious consulting companies in the world gave this company their "Technology of the Year Award" and called this patented wireless technology "revolutionary".

If you would like to see what this technology is and what company owns it, email me with subject line "Wireless Wonder"
