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]

PC ownership to 'double by 2010'  (BBC News)

The number of personal computers worldwide is expected to double by 2010 to 1.3 billion machines, say analysts. The growth will be driven by emerging markets such as China, Russia and India, the report predicted. My question is, what operating system will these new markets use on their PC's? China has already endorsed their Red Linux. Will Linux finally get it's chance, or will these new markets continue to use pirated Windows versions?

The Different Ecommerce Habits Of Men
And Women


The Different Ecommerce Habits Of Men
And Women
11/10/2003 11:02 PM
A pair of unrelated studies suggest that online shopping habits of men and women really don't sound all that different from the offline shopping habits of men and women. The first study found that men are more likely to go online for larger purchases. The article suggests that men are bigger online shoppers than women, but the details show they're really talking about more expensive items. Meanwhile, the article about the other study suggests that it's actually young women who are doing the online shopping. However, again, when you look at the details, they're really talking about who's shopping at cosmetics sites, jewelry sites, and clothing sites, to which I think most people would respond with a big "well, duh!" Basically, the two studies show that most people seem to shop the same way offline as they do online.
