10 Tips for Managing Your Brand Online
E-consultancy has a useful list of tips for managing your brand on the web which also makes for a good checklist against which you judge your own site.
I love the first one:
Brand standards online are more than just fonts and colour. A website is an immersive experience of your brand, and your standards should cover everything which contributes to that experience.
This is so true, but in my experience is the one thing that many people working in and around the web just don't get.
Logitech's MX Air Mouse with freespace motion control
Logitech unveiled its MX Air Mouse this morning, a laser mouse that works on the desk and in the air. A somewhat similar product from Gyration has been available for a while. However, the underlying technology isn't quite the same. The Air MX uses Freespace motion control technology, which interprets how you move the mouse regardless of where you point it ensuring accurate and responsive navigation at a range of up to 30 feet. That alone sets it apart from Gyration's device which needs to be pointed directly at the computer.

All About Car Stereo Problems
Stereo is the main part of the music system. Whether it is home or car, entertainment without a stereo is impossible. In the modern days of tough competition, the demand for it has increased considerably. Not only for home, but even for the cars people want the best quality stereo system. But sometimes, due to lack of maintenance, it starts showing problems. However, car stereo problems can be avoided and even solved if good care is taken.
As the stereo is a technical device, the car owner should have some basic knowledge about it because it might not be possible always to find a dealer or a mechanic to repair the stereo. Therefore, the first solutions to the car stereo problems have to come from the owner. There are various kinds of problems that can occur to the car stereo. Some of the complaints found commonly are described below.
Problem occurs when the car stereo gets cut-on and off suddenly. It may happen while turning the car on and also during driving. Sometimes it is said that the stereo not turned on while the car in on the run.
The next problem that usually occurs is the blowing of fuse. The fuse sometimes blows off even more than twice. In this case, may be changing the fuses can sometimes help. However, it is better to check all the fuses. Sometimes it may happen that the fuse had blown due to the lights which were kept on carelessly. In this regard, the fuse of the interior lights and dashboard light should be checked properly.
In some cases it is found that the alternator is giving trouble. If the alternator has got some problems, then it will result in poor voltage, which will lead to poor performance from the player.
Speakers are the vital part of the stereo system. Sometimes car stereo problems include speaker problems. In case the speakers are sounding dull or getting stopped, or if they have some fuse problem, then there are some precautions to be taken. First ensure that the speakers are not disconnected. Next check all the fuses that are related to the auto speakers. Then tighten the butt connector to the speakers. Replacing some of the butt connectors may help sometimes.
Moreover, the auto speakers also need to be tested. This include checking the speakers itself or the wires or anything else like the deck connection. However, if the stereo speakers are found dead, it has to be replaced at once. And if the problem is with the wires, then it is time to rewire.
But before any kind of issue occurs in the car stereo, owners have to be cautious. This includes buying the whole stereo system from a renowned place. Infact, if possible the branded ones should be preferred. Secondly, it will be better if the connection is done in the factory itself. Thirdly, while choosing a stereo, it should be checked whether it has built-in power source. This is to prevent any kind of power problems.

The Chief Justice Learns a New Word
Monday's Supreme Court oral argument in was dense with debate over rules of grammar and statutory interpretation aimed at figuring out what Congress meant when it passed a statute expanding the scope of a federal gun control law. One bright spot in the colloquy came when the government attorney supplied an obscure and almost whimsical term for sections of the statute to which the justices had been referring, awkwardly, as "little eye" and "little eye eye."
