| Will Cell Phones Make Plastic Credit Cards Obsolete? | | 2008-08-17 12:02:27 | | I recently stumbled across an article about a South Africa company introducing a cell phone based payment system to Cape Town, South Africa.
It’s got me wondering whether this type of mobile payment system will catch on in the United States. While it would be nice to simply carry my cell phone rather than my wallet, [...] | | By: Credit Card Debt Law | | |
| | Is Your Local Chamber of Commerce Obsolete? | | 2008-08-09 00:00:00 | | Wandering into the San Jose, California Chamber of Commerce one wonders what sorts of local businesses are members. After all, San Jose is Silicon Valley Central and the home to many of the world’s best known companies.
As one glances at the list of members what is conspicuous is the absence of [...] | | By: Resources Zone | | |

| Could Packaging Machinery Soon Be Obsolete | | 2008-07-19 00:00:00 | | You don’t have to go that far back in time to come across a time when local grocer’s shops would package everything up in brown paper bags for us to take home. Shopping was a pleasure that came with a personal touch. We weren’t inundated with a plethora of plastic bags, plastic and polystyrene packaging [...] | | By: Resources Zone | | |
| | Nude Track By Radiohead Played With Obsolete Gadgets | | 2008-06-06 15:17:47 | | In response to Radiohead’s online contest to remix the ‘Nude’ track, James Houston rigged together some outdated and obsolete computer devices and peripherals to recreate the song, and a brilliant music video.
He used a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (which I owned, and spent frustratingly long hours loading and playing the 8-bit Batman game with) for rhythm and lead guitars, an Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer for drums, an HP Scanner for bass guitar, and old and dying hard drives were used as speakers to reproduce the vocals.
The video starts out a bit slow, but after it reaches the 1:10 minute mark, things really pick up.

| | Is Sin Obsolete | | 2008-05-11 06:51:13 | | Nationnews.com - Barbados' Leading Newspaper By Peter Laurie I can hear the howls of outrage: what kind of stupid question is that? That's like saying we can do away with right and wrong.Okay, hold on.The thought was triggered by recent media reports that The Vatican had replaced the Seven Deadly Sins with modern equivalents that included drug abuse, excessive attachment to wealth and environmental pollution.The Press got it wrong. The Vatican official was merely suggesting that our notion of sin needed updating and broadening beyond its traditional scope.So what is sin?In religious tradition sin is a transgression of the laws of God. God has given us these laws to put us in a right relationship to God and our fellow human beings. The laws teach us to behave correctly. Good behaviour is rewarded and bad punished.SpiritualityA more modern take on sin is anything we do, or fail to do, which interferes with the development of our spirituality.

| Tithing: Low-Realm, Obsolete & Defunct | | 2008-05-09 07:51:55 | | I just finished the book, “Tithing: Low-Realm, Obsolete & Defunct” by Matthew E. Narramore. Overall this was a good and informative book. After you’ve read so many books and heard so many sermons on tithing that you hear so much of the same expository notes. But there were some new insights in this book, as [...] | | By: Tithe Stewardship and Church Tithing | | |
| | | Desktops & Laptops Soon to Be Obsolete? | | 2007-12-13 08:52:14 | | Paul Higgins of Business Day writing for theage.com.au offers his opinion of where mobile computing is heading, and we think he's right on the money. There's been a lot of discussions surrounding MID's or mobile Internet devices, and Higgins seems to think they will be even smaller than what we might have thought in the past. "A recent story in Wired describes how researchers at Arizona State University are producing computing memory that is one-tenth the cost of flash memory (the predominant memory system in current mobile devices) and 1000 times as energy efficient. A thumb drive using the technology could store a terabyte". You can read the full article here. While it may be difficult for some to imagine a landscape without clunky desktop and laptop computers, with memory and cpu chip set technology continuing to shrink in size, it's inevitable. Obviously it will have to be affordable enough for the masses, but that to is guaranteed to happen. 10 years ago I paid $1000 for | | By: AndroidGuys | | |
| | Reusing the Obsolete | | 2007-04-08 16:09:00 | | As you, folks know I am ardent supporter of re-cycling and will encourage all and one, helping the cause of avoiding techno-trash. Many broken electronic items/systems can be fixed just with a replacement of a one or two components but with Moore's law still going strong even after thirty years, it hard to source most of these components, as they are declared obsolete within just a year or two.Internet shopping is changing all this, as you are now able to finds these Obsolete Semiconductors rather easily.You can find all kind of obsolete devises like Diodes, ICs, distributors, relays, flash memories and all other stuff on websites like 4starelectronics.With their obsolete part search utility, you can search a database of more than 15000000 new, obsolete and discontinued components.Many of the legacy systems are still operational due to some diligent efforts from dedicated hardware engineers, who take every effort to keep them running and my Hats off! to them.

| | "Taxachusetts" Label Long Obsolete | | 2007-04-05 07:00:00 | | During the early 1980s, the Massachusetts-based Citizens for Limited Taxation called their monthly newsletter "Taxachusetts," and back then the nickname rang true.Well, times have changed, and Massachusetts not only can't be singled out as a high-tax state -- it's now a beacon of moderation that prevents New England from ranking as a high-tax region.The Tax Foundation's annual ranking of state-local tax burdens is out, and among the eight regions in the country, New England's taxes rank as only the third highest. This is all the more remarkable because four of Massachusetts's five New England neighbors have huge tax burdens.Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut finish first, second, fourth and eighth in the tax burden ranking. But Massachusetts ranks only 28th highest, and with its much larger economy, and with the help of superlow-tax New Hampshire (49th), New England looks good in the report. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
