What are venture capitalists looking for? If you are a startup entrepreneur looking for funding, its always a good idea to know what investment themes a VC is interested and tailor your pitch to those themes.
I’ve also been told that most VCs will only very generally take your plan seriously and instead will look for the best contact to fund. IE, they don’t really care about your plan or pitch, they care much more about who set up…

Warning: Brutal video if you have sensitivity to animal cruelty. This video hosted my Pamela Anderson shows the cruelty of chickens raised on KFC farms. Boycott KFC!
KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped…

For the past month, I've been away from the computer screen. Now I'm back reading on it many hours a day. Which got me thinking: How do we read online?
The really unforgivable sin of online journalism is explaining things through links. My rule: if the article doesn't make a point that I can decipher without clicking the blue text, then it's almost certainly not worth following through…
It's no secret that not everyone can afford to buy Microsoft Office to create brilliant PowerPoint presentations for any event. While affordability plays a role, so does OS compatibility.
Other great online presentation creators include PreZentit, Empressr, and Preezo. These are all fantastic presentation creators and though many require a sign up, they all offer the basics and a little more for creating excellent presentations….

Maybe the crime of the century if you ask me. Just like in ‘Hackers’ and ‘Office Space’ a California man has been indicted for a inventive scheme that allegedly siphoned $50,000 from online brokerage houses E-trade and Schwab.com in six months — a few pennies at a time, and using the names of cartoon characters.
I'm totally amazed that the Schwab.com and etrade.com choose to prosecute this guy. It will cost more than 50k to run through the California courts. But at the same time, there is NO surprise that the US Government would waste millions of tax…
