| Most Companies Don’t Plan an Early Switch to Windows 8 [REPORT] Posted: 22 Oct 2012 03:20 AM PDT Most companies don't plan to switch to Windows 8 immediately after its release, and some may never make the switch, Reuters reports. The new operating system from Microsoft, which hits the market on Oct. 26, has numerous touch-friendly features which should make it equally as interesting to tablet owners as it is to PC owners. Many business owners, however, think Windows 8 is a consumer-oriented product which offers few new features to businesses. "Windows 8 is, frankly, more of a consumer platform than it is a business platform, so it's not something that makes any sense from a business perspective at this juncture. There is really no additional business functionality that Windo… More About: Windows 8, corporate customers

| Minecraft Meets ‘Gangnam Style’ in Block-Building Parody [VIDEO] Posted: 22 Oct 2012 12:19 AM PDT Just when you thought it was over, another "Gangnam Style" parody has surfaced online -- this time using Minecraft blocks. Uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, "Minecraft Style" imitates Psy's original music video virtually frame-for-frame, save for a few details (there's pigs in place of horses). Its lyrics are also adapted for lovers of the sandbox building game. To wit: "Digging a hole just one more time until I score this. Strike rich on diamonds, iron, gold and build our decked-out fortress." SEE ALSO: Play Minecraft in Real Life [VIDEO] So far, the video has attracted more than 83,000 views.

| NoPhoto Prevents Speeding, Red Light Cameras From Catching You [VIDEO] Posted: 21 Oct 2012 07:29 PM PDT For better or for worse, dodging speeding tickets just got a little easier with noPhoto, a smart license frame that prevents traffic enforcement cameras from taking photos of your license plate. How does it work? The Cincinnati-based company behind noPhoto says it makes the license plate portion of the image "too bright for the camera's sensor to handle." First, a sensor detects a flash from a red light or speeding camera; it then triggers two flashes that jam the traffic camera, according to noPhoto's Indiegogo page. While it sounds a tad sketchy, noPhoto claims that the process is completely legal. "Since there is nothing physically covering… More About: NoPhoto, red light cameras, speed cameras, traffic

| Posted: 21 Oct 2012 05:25 PM PDT A U.S. Census report released this month shows that the number of people who work from has soared by 41% in the past decade. These findings demonstrate that there is hope for moms (and dads!) who prefer the flexibility to work from home while raising children.

Generally, parents want a job with little to no travel keeps them closer to home in time for after school pick up, and preferably a position that doesn't involve risking one's life by jumping from a capsule to break the sound barrier … there have to be easier ways.
