The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library of Warcraft Formula guides going back to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and every month, for a small fee you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is.

You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What Warcraft Formula does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to start out with nothing and build their way up to pro status every month with sharp, pointed strategy guides.

It’s not a select guide – you don’t get a leveling guide or a gold guide or PvP guide alone. But, unlike the guys offering those guides, you get information that isn’t three months old and mostly nerfed. You get info as it is added to the game and you get strategies that no one else has seen yet. I was astounded at how much information is included each month in these guides.

To top things off, the guide writers – Brad Johnson and T Dub Sanders – are the geniuses behind Warcraft Millionaire and PvP Bible (respectively), making them the best possible sources for all the top new info in the game. You can’t get much better than the best around in PvP and the best around in gold making. If you’re looking for the next big thing in Warcraft guides, this is it folks – don’t miss out on Warcraft Formula.

To be a hundred percent accurate, Warcraft Formula isn’t a single guide. It’s a ton of guides, with a new one added to the mix every month. I reviewed the first couple of months for this review and they were top notch content. Each guide was 30 pages long and included three features, top news from the month, questions from readers, an action plan and a preview of the next month. Each feature was full of useful content that was designed to do just about anything you needed it to – from building up a powerful play through strategy for a Death Knight to creating a 10 man raiding group. It’s not hyper specific information, but it’s a heck of a lot more than the general strategies you get from the existing guides on the market.

To top things off, you get a whole bunch of extras with the guide. The first extra was the Fast Track Action Plan that Brad and T Dub provide. It’s a guideline that helps players figure out how to put together a good WoW account. Basically, it includes everything from an outline of how to build a character, choose your UI and the right class and professions to how to get into a guild, start up PvP and go about raiding. Essentially, it’s a route to stop making so many silly mistakes as you play through the game – a great tool for beginners and something even a few veterans could probably benefit from.

In the end, Warcraft Formula is a great new product that provides something I’ve never seen before in a WoW product. It is updated every month with a new ebook and all for a decent monthly fee with information about pretty much every aspect of the game not just a couple of select areas.

ipod Touch Technology

~ Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch display layers a protective shield over a capacitive panel that senses your touch using electrical fields. It then transmits that information to the LCD screen below it. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely.

~ Accelerometer
The accelerometer inside iPod touch allows it to detect when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. The accelerometer really shines when you play games, because it immerses you in the action. It’s perfect for racing games, where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel, and for tap-and-tilt games such as Rolando, in which your movements control the action.

~ Wireless
iPod touch has built-in support for 802.11b/g wireless technology. That means you can get online anywhere there’s Wi-Fi. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music and more from the iTunes Store. iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you’ve never used a particular network, Wireless Icon it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you’re within range, it connects automatically.

~ Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a form of wireless technology that lets you use devices without the hassle of cables or wires. What does that mean for iPod touch? It means you can use iPod touch with Bluetooth headphones and listen to your music no matter where in the room your iPod touch is. So lounge on your bed, while your iPod touch charges on your desk. Bluetooth on iPod touch is also great for peer-to-peer gaming.

~ Design
iPod touch is as remarkable outside as it is inside. Holding one is all the proof you need. With its curved design, iPod touch is a mere 8.5 mm thin. Its optical glass front and polished stainless steel back feel sleek and smooth in your hand. Turn it on, and instantly you’re impressed by the brilliant 3.5-inch display. iPod touch is the perfect combination of stunning design and revolutionary technology–the total, beautiful package.\

Now I can get back to work. My blogs need some new content, and I need to express my creative nature in a big way! I love researching new projects, adding spice to my daughters home taught activities, and I love to play. When I mix things up, it adds a whole lot more excitement to my virtual journeys. And I missed Pandora… I live for music!

So wish me luck, and I will keep movin’ on, and I will eventually come close to finding all of my Favorites again. It is amazing how much I truly rely on my virtual travels in my quest for information, and to satisfy my bottomless well of curiosity. And taking care of business is a breeze when we can just tap into the world wide web to make Life sooooo much easier. Technology rocks! Let’s just hope my brain doesn’t freeze gathering all of this crucial information which is totally necessary to survive in This Virtual World.

Enjoy!

Having quite a bit of business experience on a personal level, I know exactly what it means to master efficiency and time management. We have an amazing amount of technology right at our fingertips to make our lives more manageable, and bring our levels of success to a whole new level. Although I have changed my business style, and stick to a simple method of choosing affiliates to take care of most of the business details for me, not everyone will have my own level of experience to handle all the little details and truly succeed.

I can see the tremendous value of utilizing a company whose main focus is exclusively on improving the interactions between businesses and their consultants. Mavenlink is the first company to do just this, and they have not disappointed me with their level of insight and professionalism. I am really quite impressed how they have managed to create an intuitive technological platform which embraces the consulting lifecycle, while managing all business relationships and transactions so that your projects have a greater opportunity for success.

My nature seems to call for efficiency and organization in most areas of my life, and my latest search was to find enough storage to gather all of my most treasured data without cramping my style. I try to avoid unnecessary limitations, yet I use good sense when it comes to knowing just how much space my creative nature will need, and the Sony USM16GL 16GB Micro Vault Click USB with Virtual Expander tops my list!

That’s 16 Gigs baby!! Even I will have a hard time jamming up the machinery with so much space to work with. And wouldn’t it be so cool to travel with my favourite music just a tiny click away? Not that we aren’t totally rich with sweet little gadgets to play with already, what with technology making leaps and bounds into whole new arena’s of fun to keep us satisfied! Still yet, I can think of a lot of uses we can get out of this with 16 gigabytes of expandable virtual memory.

Features and Techincal Specifications

~ Pre-loaded with data compression software for up to three times the storage capacity

~ Hardware Platform – Mac

Yep, I am most certainly happy to add lots of Virtual Memory for our Virtual Lifestyles! This little gadget is loaded and ready to go…

“To reach out to the public, we need to be where people are—and we know tens of millions of people spend their time in social media sites,” says John Miller, head of FBI Public Affairs. “Adding our fugitives, missing kids, threat and scam warnings, and other information into these sites is an extension of what we’ve done for decades—enlisting the help and support of concerned citizens around the globe to keep communities safer.”

Here are a few places in which we can follow the presence of the FBI in the Social Media’s…

• Facebook, where you can follow our news, check out our photos and videos, and become a “fan” of the FBI;
• YouTube, where you can watch our videos and connect back to our main website for job postings and other content; and
• Twitter, where you can receive our tweets on breaking news and other useful information.

The FBI is exploring a presence on SecondLife. Jonathan Cox—along with graphic artist Scott Carmine—designed the FBI’s first virtual billboards for sites like Second Life and sees them as the wave of the future. “Unlike 10 years ago, almost everyone today has had an experience connecting online through virtual media, whether through a gaming console or popular sites like Second Life,” Cox said. “The ease at which information can be transferred, ideas can be exposed, and technology can be shared in virtual worlds will hopefully lead to the arrest of a fugitive or the location of a missing child in the near future.”

You can learn more by visiting The FBI in the Virtual Realms of Social Media to get the whole scoop and more news. Modern technology sure does add a whole new realm of possibilities when it comes to connecting with the people around the world.

Just in case you haven’t heard of them (yeah right!), well I am only too happy to enlighten you. I used to be totally non-computer wise, and I didn’t even know what a motherboard was. Now I know better, and I can actually put a totally cool machine together without too much help… LOL. I can pick out my own case, and load it up with enough power to satisfy my very selective nature. Like adding enough memory and video to give me the advantage in the magical lands of gaming, for instance. And making sure my RAM is up to my high standards, and not screwing up by forgetting to provide a power supply to keep me going strong.

Hmmm… the tricky part is making sure all my parts are compatable, but I am patient, and I am nothing if not thorough. I do ask questions if I get the tiniest bit confused, but I am a quick study, so I can usually find my way to learning anything I might not already know.

After I have picked through the site at Newegg.com (and their totally AWESOME selection) I know I have the makings of the best computer, for a whole lot less than having someone else build it for me. I can even be smart about it, and forward my selections to my family, and remind them how great a Mom I have been and give them a great big hint about Mother’s Day coming up, or my Birthday at the end of this most promising of Summers!

Seriously though, I love to fix and build things, so this is a great place for me to delve into a HUGE selection to suit my needs. I can even build some sweet machines for my family when I am feeling the urge to gift someone with some awesome technology. What a great reminder of the Lady who loves to give to those she loves….
