iPhone Gets Hacked… Businesses and Individuals Need to Protect Themselves

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

The iPhone may seem like an immortal device, (check out this utube iphone spoof) but even it has its weaknesses. The New York Times has just released an article that states the iPhone has a security hole that allows remote control or hazing/fisching with fake websites. We knew it was bound to happen. […]

As a Man Thinketh, Harry Potter to James Allen…

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

As the commotion dies down over the final Harry Potter Book, The Deathly Hallows, I have searched through the rubble for a lasting moral. Of course there are a lot of morals which can come from this story: friendship, sacrifice, love etc.. but the moral I enjoyed the most is the principles that really […]

Standing in the Bottom Line for Harry Potter

Friday, July 20th, 2007

In just a little more than an hour, the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter Series will be released here in Utah. I love it! Lines for Borders, Barnes and Noble and Walmart are off the charts. It’s the kind of economic pandemonium that actually may shadow (the allegedly revolutionary–) iPhone.
As […]

HARRY POTTER 7–The Real Ending Uncensored!

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Speaking of Harry Potter Seven, (Who isn’t speaking of Harry Potter these days?) I read a fascinating article on the internet about some pictures of the new book that have been circulating. This is making big news, (and big money) in China (who’s surprised?).
After extensive research to find the legitimate ending to Harry Potter […]

Copyright Protection for Harry Potter in China? Now that’s Fantasy.

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I love Harry Potter. But I’ll admit that I’m not drawn into the popular culture as a common muggle trying to live proxy through the boy wizard. I love Harry Potter because it sells. J.K. Rowlings has created a global literary fashion that has in turn launched the perfect platform to demonstrate […]

Can a business-man not be a hit-man?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

I just finished reading the book, Confessions of An Economic Hitman by John Perkins.
It was a fascinating novel with a very basic and well supported premise: Giant corporations work with the government to secure large contracts and make lots of money.
As a student of international business and development, I find myself torn in his […]

Utah Inventions… High on Ideas–Low on Capital

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

I recently had a business idea that I was sure would revolutionize the home remodeling industry. I talked with my brother (Patent Attorney) about it and he helped me understand that to take an idea to market takes a lot of steps.

First, I needed to run a patent search. This typically costs about […]

Life Line-Umbilical Non-Profit

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

My wife and I have been doing a little research into the options of preserving our upcoming baby’s umbilical cord. I cannot believe the prices of preserving these cords. The low packages start just under 2,000 dollars and then charge another 5,000 dollars to store the cord over a 40 year period. Also […]

Out of This World Small Business Opportunity

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I recently had the opportunity of meeting with Lynn Taylor, Owner and Operator of the Utah County M.A.R.S. (Miracle Appearance Reconditioning Specialist) — mobile detailing company. I was impressed by his genuine character and also his reasons for being involved in the franchise.
I spoke with him about why he chose to […]

Business and Government and Senator Bob Bennett

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Most business owners or managers can verify the importance of being involved at the local level. It was after the advice from a very insightful mentor that I decided to take the jump and join. My experience thus far has been positive and I have only seen benefit from my participation.
At a recent business […]
