PC Sales May Be Coming Out Of Doldrums

PC Sales May Be Coming Out Of Doldrums 11/03/2003 05:32 AM

The numbers are encouraging to a sector that has been languishing for the past three years, battered by the dot-bomb, a flagging economy and a mountainous inventory of used equipment that sold at auction for far less than even the cheapest new computers.

Internet Sales Taxes Are Coming


Internet Sales Taxes Are Coming 03/06/2004 01:56 AM

Here come the Net taxes: Apparently 19 states are adding a line to their tax returns asking people how much stuff they bought on the Internet this year, and asking them to pay sales tax on it. And, according to this article, that's only the beginning.

Don't snicker at the effort by 19 states this year to collect Internet sales tax. You'll be sorry.

Sure, from an enforcement perspective, adding a line on tax forms and asking you to pay up is laughable.

And yes, it probably won't net much.

But you know what? It's the beginning of a tax tidal wave on the Net.

To scientists, the most valuable laboratory sales representatives are those that make a difference in their research. Rather than just trying to close the deal, these sales reps go a step further and translate performance specifications into a picture of how the product will help the scientist reach his or her goal faster or more efficiently. Life science suppliers that focus on forging such mutually beneficial relationships will be better able to create real value for their customers. [PRWEB Jan 31, 2005]

Record sales up, P2P sales up -- RIAA's
story doesn't add up


Record sales up, P2P sales up -- RIAA's
story doesn't add up
03/24/2005 04:52 PM
Cory Doctorow: According to the RIAA, CD sales are increasing. Now, the RIAA also says that P2P destroys music sales, so it follows that if they're selling more CDs there must be less P2P, right? Uh, no -- file-sharing is up, too (so CD sales should be falling right?).

So is it possible that CD sales and P2P are decoupled (as all the quantitative, independent research indicates), and that the downturn in CD sales is better laid at the feed of bad business, a bad economy, fewer albums and more things competing for entertainment dollars (cough games cough Internet cough).

The number of CDs and other music products shipped from record labels to retail merchants rose 2 percent last year, to 814 million units, the first annual increase in five years, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

According to a recent study by Current Analysis, unit sales of notebooks equipped with a widescreen 15.4-inch display have steadily continued to climb throughout the first half of 2004. As of June 30, the widescreen market accounted for 48% of all notebooks sold, compared to only 15% in December 2003. The growth represents the highest share yet for the widescreen models since its introduction in the spring of 2003 and demonstrates widescreen systems are selling in greater numbers than its traditional square counterparts.
