You reaction To WWE naming a New Member of The Board of Directors and It’s Not Triple H?

WWE announced Monday the election of Stuart U. Goldfarb to the Board of Directors. Goldfarb will also serve as a member of the Audit Committee.

Goldfarb’s background is president and CEO of Atrinsic, Inc., a direct marketer of subscription products and an Internet search marketing agency. Prior to being involved in direct marketing and cable TV home shopping, Goldfarb held “various executive level positions at NBC,” according to WWE’s press release.

“Stuart is a great addition to our Board of Directors,” said WWE chairman/CEO Vince McMahon. “He brings broad marketing and operational experience across a wide range of distribution platforms, including cable television and the Internet. His proven international experience and overall business perspective will be very valuable to the WWE Board.”

Should they cut off the hand that feeds them in Congress?

WASHINGTON – A State Department official told lawmakers Wednesday that China’s efforts to manipulate the Internet have increased in the last year, “sending a chilling message to Internet users.”
Representatives from Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Google Inc. were expected to face hard questions at the hearing from lawmakers from both political parties.
Rep. Chris Smith said the companies are “enabling dictatorship” by helping China manipulate the Internet.
“Cooperation with tyranny should not be embraced for the sake of profits,” says Smith, the Republican chairman of the House subcommittee on global human rights.
U.S. tech companies eyeing China face a dilemma, analysts say: While keen to tap a market that could soon eclipse America’s, they must also worry about the perception they’re helping China harass dissidents.
“They are in an extremely dicey position,” said John Palfrey, a Harvard Law School professor.
As some know these names Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Google Inc. donate lots of cash to both parties in Congress. The issue is. Will Congress be a part of sending “dissidents” to prison in China and other countries?

There are so many operating systems available in the market

There are so many operating systems available in the market that it’s difficult to decide which one is the best. Search the Internet for information on the following operating systems, and draw a table that compares them in terms of scalability, ease of use, reliability, and cost:

Windows 2000
Windows XP
Linux

Based on the above analysis, which operating system will you recommend for the following requirements:

The finance department of XYZ Inc. has hired two trainees to work on a simple database application. Users are going to use the computer for the first time.

Smart Shoppers need to use an OS with easy to use interface and have also the capability to support dual processors.

A non-profit organization wants to host a Web site and needs a computer to host the Web site. They want a cost-effective solution for hosting the Web site.

Why should I invest my welfare check in a Capitalist country?

Chinese are rapidly hooking up cheap, fast smartphones. China growth leads the world as the United States and Europe stagger. And, most interesting, the Communist government’s “protective moat” is enabling its native Internet companies to score fat profits free from U.S. competitors.

“Beijing actively blocks Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube,” and Google Inc. has shut its search engine in China, blaming “stringent censorship,” the Turner report says. “China shut down 1.3 million Web sites” last year, the Turner analysts added.

How can repression be good for business? Acknowledging that liberty lovers loathe China’s “Great Firewall,” the authors prefer “a gentler term for these restrictions in light of the Chinese Internet market’s potential to blossom: a walled garden.”

A garden! China’s weedings and poisonings of independent thought and action, to Turner, “serve to insulate domestic Internet companies from the forces of international competition.” Sure, there are “dangers in China walling off the Internet, [but] we think they are outweighed by the protective benefits [to China stocks].”

Citing research from analysts at Bala Cynwyd-based Susquehanna International Group L.L.P. and other firms, Turner notes that China search engine Baidu.com collects extra profits because it’s free to sell ads without competition from Google. E-commerce deal-maker China Dangdang is sheltered from Amazon. Security specialist NetQin Mobile doesn’t have to face Norton. Renren links people Facebook can’t reach. Sina Weibo echoes Twitter. Youku.com fills the China vacuum left by YouTube.

The result: Those six companies, based in the political capital, Beijing, not commercial centers Hong Kong or Shanghai, offer the prospect of “double-digit earnings growth annually over the next five years,” Turner writes approvingly.
