affordable voipAuthor: Aaron Siegel

VOIP has been marketed as the affordable alternative to traditional land line calling since it first started being advertised in commercials years ago. As a stand alone product the pricing seems too good to pass up, especially with the promise of quality voice communications for less but is it really an affordable option that anyone can afford?

The technology of broadband phone typically allows for calls to be made domestically for one small monthly fee throughout the country on the most popular calling plans and usually has very low international rates associated with the plan as well. Technology has allowed for better voice quality so that you never even notice a difference between VoIP service and your old phone line. It is a great advancement for consumers and businesses worldwide looking to make calls for less, or is it?

VoIP is the abbreviated terminology for Voice over Internet Protocol. The keyword to look for in this definition of VoIP is Internet. The word Internet means that this technology cannot be accessed without an Internet connection and while it may not seem like much, the word Internet in relation to VoIP is everything.

The truth is, in reality it will only be as affordable as the Internet providers will allow. Your Internet connection or the lack of thereof is a pricing factor that must not be forgotten when considering the move from traditional phone service to broadband phone. You need a minimum of 90 Kbps upload and download speed to run VoIP from your Internet but if you use your computer for browsing the web with the service you may find you need a lot of bandwidth to function while talking over your service.

asus eee white editionShortly after I started my own business I realized that I would be traveling to meet with clients and to do research for my work, so my desktop and media center laptop wouldn’t cut it. I didn’t really need a system that could handle high end graphics or media play back, all I really needed was something compact and light that could connect to the internet and used word processing. Companies like Sony offered solutions to this problem with their lightweight laptops, but I just didn’t have the $1,000 to spend on it. Then I learned about the Asus Eee PC.

Based around the same concept as the OLPC project, the Asus Eee PC is meant to be a lightweight and easy to use learning device. Regardless of what they intended the device to do, it’s clearly capable of even greater feats than originally intended. The Eee PC comes in four models for it’s 701 Series: 2G Surf, 4G Surf, 4G, and 8G. While the number denotes the amount of physical hard drive space on the solid state disk and a few other differences, each system is equipped with a 7 in 800—480 TFT LCD with LED backlight, Integrated Intel GMA 900 graphics processor, Integrated 802.11 b/g wifi, 3 USB inputs, VGA Output, Ethernet Input, Kensington Lock, and MMC SD slot. The Surf models offer a battery life of 2.8 hours where as the other two models offer 3-3.5 hours and a built in webcam.

The 2G Surf is equipped with an 800 MHz Intel Celeron-M ULV 353 with the rest equipped with a 900 MHz version of the same chip. The 2G Surf also only has 512mb of DDR2 400 Ram soldered in while the 4G Surf and 4G have socketed 512mb DDR2 533/667 and the 8G with 1GB. The prices start as low as $299 for the 2G Surf and as high as $499 for the 8G. [More]

iphone updatesAmidst much current hype surrounding Apple’s luxury product, the iPhone, many people are ignoring various indications that a new version may be released in June and are potentially buying a rapidly outdating device…

This month, Apple announced the launch of its new ‘App Store’ which will be released with an update to all iPhones in June. This App Store will allow users to download third-party programs and install them on their devices, just like you can on a computer. With thousands of developers interested in the platform, the possibilities truly are endless.

But it was something that Apple didn’t mention on that day that could be most important for the consumer - a substantial hardware update. According to rumors in the blogosphere, the much-awaited updated version of the iPhone should also be released around this time, boasting a range of unannounced features which have been said to include the much faster 3G networking service and a more advanced touch control system. Since Apple’s high profile developer’s conference is being held in early June, it is highly likely that something substantial will be released then, possibly this next generation iPhone in time for the launch of the already-announced updated features.

So my advice is this; avoid buying an iPhone until July. Chances are high that the device will be updated by then; if you buy the current generation of devices, you may end up with an outdated product sooner than you think…

…and $500 and is a lot of money to waste on an out-of-date product…

home based internet business for stay at home momsThere are not too many left but if you are a stay at home mom odds are that you just might be in the market for something that can allow you to fulfill your family or other non-work obligations but at the same time allow you to bring a monetary contribution into the home.

The good news for you is that the days of having to pay top dollar for adequate daycare for your child or children so that you can rejoin the workforce are gone. You can get back to work, still be with your children, still keep deadlines, dance recitals, and doctors appointments while bringing in what very well can be a very generous income.

If you have access to the Internet and motivation, a home based Internet business is just screaming your name. You do not have to invest a bunch of money to get started; the only thing that you need to invest is a little time.

Maybe it is financial reasons that have caused you to consider working again; maybe you have gotten a bit restless and are looking for something a bit more challenging than what you are currently doing. Whatever the case is, today is the day that you can change it all while still balancing your current lifestyle.

If a lack of confidence is one of the obstacles holding you back, don’t worry. There may have been a time when you were out daily as part of the workforce and you were confident and ready. This may an image that is frozen in time but as you reconnect with people again, you will gain it all back, plus some.

Too many stay at home moms truly believe that there choices are so limited that they can either return to work on a full time basis or not. This is so not the case because you can return to work with an extremely flexible schedule and have the best of both worlds in no time.

Are you preparing for the Summer Break? Whether you have to work at home or you will be on vacation, choosing what to wear this summer is very important.  Since summer is just around the corner and you know how humid here in Manila, you really have to make sure all to wear cotton made shirts or fabric.

Since I’m not a trend whore I hardly even prepare or even think of what to wear during summer that I think is the reason why I ended bringing polo shirt in Boracay instead of cotton shirts or sandos. This summer you don’t even need to bring jeans on your travels because it’s too hot. All you need is shorts and t-shirts made of cotton and don’t forget the sandals. [More]

work in australiaWhile the rest of my friends wants to go to the United States, Im the only one who really wants to visit and work in Australia. Why? I really dont know but Australia seems to be so ideal for me. Many travelers opt for a one year work visa in order to find the time and resources to see more of this vast country. It is so common for backpackers to work their way round Oz that job opportunities and recruitment are relatively easy to find compared to other countries.

To stay a little longer than a year or two require a bit more planning and some kind of employment commitment… or shit loads of cash…. so the best bet is to look at getting a 4 year sponsored Australian working visa. This allows you to stay in Australia for up to 4 years provided you stay with the same employer and of course a good employee. Make sure to plan and save money because flights to Australia are a bit expensive.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) in Manila accepts applications and makes decisions on most temporary and permanent migration visas. They have a website that contains information on the main visas and citizenship applied for from the Philippines.

For detailed information about Australian visas and citizenship services please see the DIAC website. See: www.immi.gov.au
Application forms for all types of visas can also be downloaded from the DIAC website. See: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/application-forms/index.htm
