Good-bye Printer, Hello MFP: Lyra Forecasts Triple-Digit Growth for Color Laser MFPs
Newton, MA (ContentDesk) September 19, 2005 -- Lyra Research (www.lyra.com) expects color laser MFPs to become the hot product in small-office/home-office (SOHO) environments, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and small corporate workgroups. According to Lyra's newly released report, The Replacements: Monochrome and Color Laser MFPs, North American shipments of color laser MFPs will grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 220 percent (see figure), as buyers in these environments replace their current hardware?typically monochrome laser printers.
"Color laser MFP usage arising from this aggressive growth will vary by environment. For example, SOHO settings will use color laser MFPs to produce both monochrome and color output, with low average monthly print volumes," explains Larry Jamieson, director of Lyra's Hard Copy Industry Advisory Service. "On the other hand, small corporate workgroups are more likely to have well-defined color requirements coupled with large on-site print and copy volumes.
Because most corporate users will also have access to monochrome devices, color laser MFPs will be reserved more for color output." About the New ReportThe Replacements: Monochrome and Color Laser MFPs provides vendors and affiliated component manufacturers with comprehensive worldwide and regional forecast data for monochrome laser MFPs, as well as worldwide and North American forecasts for color laser MFPs. In addition to shipment, revenue, and installed-base forecasts, the report includes a detailed vendor analysis. This extensive report offers essential information for vendors interested in refining product-development and marketing plans in order to gain market share in this fast-growing hardware segment.

Printers are essential peripherals, performing a critical role as they render electronic information into tangible records or material output. You're simply not using your computer to its fullest potential if you are unable to print reports, presentations, letters, photos, or whatever it is you need to output. Choosing a printer can be confusing, however, in today's competitive, ever-changing landscape. This buying guide rounds out some of the more important criteria to consider before you make that all-important purchase decision.

Don't Confuse Photo-sharing and Printing Websites with Real Backup
Boston, MA (ContentDesk) February, 9 2006 -- Photo websites like Snapfish, Kodaks EasyShare Gallery, Shutterfly, and Yahoo Photos are great for sharing and printing some of your favorite pictures.
But as Bill Bulkeley said in his recent article in the Wall Street Journal, The Downside of Photo-Storage Sites, If users don't follow the conditions for service -- often disclosed only in the fine print -- their photographs could wind up getting deleted. On these websites, you typically have to purchase prints from time to time in order to avoid having your uploaded pictures deleted.
For example, Kodak's online EasyShare Gallery quietly added a provision last year that requires users to pay $2.49 per month to avoid having their pictures deleted if they dont order prints.
However, most people have far too many photos on their hard drives to use services like EasyShare, Snapfish, or Yahoo Photos for backup.
Digital photographers today have an average...

Santa Spreading Cheer Through Mobile Phones
PhoneBites, Inc., a technology company, has created the Christmas RAZZ, a mobile phone application that enables people to add the sounds of Christmas into their phone conversations.
Traditional classics like "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" as well as the rest of the Christmas favorites, can be played right into the conversation, simply by pressing a number on the phone's keypad.
Consumers are able to choose from a library of accessible holiday sounds, which they can share with their loved ones on the other end of the line, or leave them an unexpected and cheerful message on their voicemail.
Reports of elves leaving festive holiday greetings on outgoing voicemail messages suggest that Holiday RAZZing is getting a little out of hand.
Some describe the Christmas RAZZ as "decorating your conversation." "Christmas RAZZ provides a unique way of sharing the holiday spirit while you're on the phone," said Jeff Malkin, PhoneBites CEO.

Massage Your Mind!: Are You Living In A Cave?
When I was three years old, I had an experience I'll never forget. My mother had just prepared lunch for my brother and me, and a neighbor lady came running over, breathless, telling my mother some news. Mom went right to the television and turned it on. This was unusual?she rarely watched TV. She set up the ironing board in the living room(!) so that she could iron while watching.
Stranger still, she seemed to have forgotten all about naptime. My brother and I sat on the couch quietly, hoping that if we didn't draw attention to ourselves she wouldn't put us to bed. We needn't have worried?Mom was completely caught up in what was on the television. From the couch, we watched the TV as a scene was played over and over?a man in a car with his wife, and then sudden pandemonium. I couldn't make much sense of it.
When the man on the TV was talking, there was a big photo of the man in the car behind him. In fact, whenever anyone was talking, there was that same photo of the man...

"Rising Above the SEO Reputation"
How many times have you seen an article referring to SEO (search engine optimization) as a "Black Art" or "underhanded", "manipulative", "sleazy", "deceptive", "sneaky" etc?. I could go on and on but you get my drift. The thing is - our industry has a pitiful reputation which is being reinforced on a daily basis by the media and word of mouth.This realization hit me between the eyes recently when I read a comment in a search engine forum from an SEO who claimed he used his ethical SEO methods...
