Apple wins 'EU-wide' injunction against Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

Apple wins EUwide injunction against Galaxy Tab 77

Word around the mulberry bush is that Apple has just won itself a Europe-wide injunction against the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, in case anyone still wanted to buy that tablet now that the Nexus 7 is out. The decision was taken in-between beer courses at the appeals court in Dusseldorf, but it didn't all go Apple's way -- Cupertino's request to have the re-designed Galaxy Tab 10.1 (aka the 10.1N) banned too was rejected, having already been turned down at preliminary hearing back in February.

The Tab 7.7 apparently infringes Apple patents that date from 2004 and, such is the power of one little German town, cannot technically be sold anywhere in the EU -- although other countries may choose to ignore the ruling and it's probably only a matter of time before a 7.7N comes out anyway. In contrast, the failed claim against the 10-inch slate hinged on a "generic design patent," which a British judge has also vehemently dismissed. Glossing over the 7.7 decision, Samsung says it "welcomes the court's ruling" with regard to the 10.1N and accuses Apple of using "legal claims" to restrict "design innovation and progress in the industry."

New Orleans tops fastest growing cities in America list

Dreamstime.com

Continuing to rebound from the effects of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had the highest population growth in the country for any city over the size of 100,000.

By Michael B. Sauter, Alexander E.M. Hess and Elisabeth Uible, 24/7 Wall St.

While the nation?s population grew last year by just 0.1 percent, many of the largest metropolitan cities are booming. Based on newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 largest cities with the fastest growing populations.

24/7 Wall St.: 8 products the Facebook generation won't buy

Population grew between 2.5 percent and 5 percent in America?s biggest cities. Many of these cities are located in the southeastern part of the United States, with three of the 10 biggest increases taking place in Texas.

Unemployment rates were all across the board in these regions. In 2010, some of these cities, including Austin and Plano, Texas, and Raleigh, N.C., had jobless rates that were among the 15 lowest in the country for large cities. Others, including Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, Ga.; and Tampa, Fla., were on the other end of the spectrum, with unemployment rates of 10 percent or more.

While unemployment varied in these cities, the number of people employed in these regions increased across the board. Between 2010 and 2011, the number of people employed in nonfarm jobs increased in the U.S. by 1.4 percent. In the majority of the metropolitan divisions in which these cities are located, employment increased by at least that much. Charlotte added 2.4 percent to its labor force and Austin grew by 2.8 percent. However, in El Paso, Texas, and New Orleans employment grew at less than the national rate, meaning that the population grew in spite of a stagnant job market.

Looking at GDP growth, many of the local economies were booming before the new residents showed up. Half were in the top third among large metropolitan areas, and three were in the top 15. Charlotte and Austin -- both among the top 10 -- had the second- and third-highest GDP growth in the U.S. between 2009 and 2010.

As more people moved into these markets, demand for housing increased. According to data provided by Fiserv, while home prices fell in nearly every major metropolitan region, it fell by the smallest margins among those on our list. In the case of Austin and Plano, home prices actually increased.

24/7 Wall St.: Home sellers smarter than Realtors think

In order to identify the fastest growing American cities, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the U.S. Census Bureau?s population change data for cities with populations of 250,000 or more. Average unemployment rates for these cities for 2010 and 2011 population change data came from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data for Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Metropolitan Statistical Divisions was used to represent local economic data for unincorporated cities on the list. Data for the cities? corresponding MSAs include 2010 and 2011 unemployment rates from the BLS, 2009 to 2010 GDP data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and 2010 and 2011 home price data from Fiserv.

These are the fastest growing cities in America.

1. New Orleans, Louisiana

  • ?Change in population:?4.9 percent
  • ?Population in July of 2011:?360,740
  • ?Population in April 2010:?343,829
  • ?Average annual city unemployment (2011):?8.8 percent
  • ?Increase in jobs (2010 to 2011):?6,900 (1.3 percent)

Continuing to rebound from the effects of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had the highest population growth in the country for any city over the size of 100,000. The city?s rate of population growth (4.9 percent) is more than six times the national average of 0.73 percent. The Big Easy?s MSA (New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner) had significant growth in information jobs and education and health services, at 7 percent and 3.6 percent respectively. Despite this growth, the city?s population is at just 80 percent of pre-Katrina levels.

2. Austin, Texas

  • ?Change in population:?3.8 percent
  • ?Population in July of 2011:?820,611
  • ?Population in April 2010:?790,390
  • ?Average annual city unemployment (2011):?6.2 percent
  • ?Increase in jobs (2010 to 2011):?21,900 (2.8 percent)

Austin added 30,221 people between April 2010 and June 2011, a rate of more than 2,000 per month. Alongside this population growth, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA has experienced tremendous economic growth. Real GDP rose 6.97 percent from 2009 to 2010, while the area added 21,900 jobs in 2011, helping to lower the unemployment rate to 6.2 percent that year. In 2010, 15 percent of housing units in the metropolitan area were five years old or less, the highest such proportion among all metropolitan areas reviewed by 24/7 Wall St. While many regions had weak housing markets in 2011, Austin housing prices actually rose in the fourth quarter of 2011 versus the last quarter of the previous year, reaching a median price of $188,000.

3. Plano, Texas

  • ?Change in population:?3.8 percent
  • ?Population in July of 2011:?269,776
  • ?Population in April 2010:?259,841
  • ?Average annual city unemployment (2011):?6.9 percent
  • ?Increase in jobs (2010 to 2011):?41,700 (2.1 percent)

Plano?s population increased by almost 10,000 between April 2010 and July 2011. Much of this may have been due to the availability of jobs, as 41,700 net jobs were added in 2011 within the Dallas-Plano-Irving metropolitan division, making up more than two-thirds of those added in the MSA. Plano?s government actively recruits multinational enterprises to move their headquarters or other major facilities to the city, and has succeeded in attracting Pizza Hut, JCPenney, Atmos Energy, Rent-A-Center?and other corporations to do so. Another facet of the city?s appeal may be its safety record. In 2011, the city had a violent crime rate of just 1.6 incidents per year per 100,000 residents. This was the lowest figure of any of the 68 cities on our list.

4. Denver, Colorado

  • ?Change in population:?3.3 percent
  • ?Population in July of 2011:?619,968
  • ?Population in April 2010:?600,008
  • ?Average annual city unemployment (2011):?9.1 percent
  • ?Increase in jobs (2010 to 2011):?18,100 (1.5 percent)

Denver?s population increased by 19,960 between 2010 and 2011, and it has outpaced the national growth rate for the past eight decades. According to the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, much of this population growth is from the in-migration of educated people. In Denver, 40.2 percent of residents 25 years of age and older have bachelor?s degree or higher.

5. Raleigh, North Carolina

  • ?Change in population:?3.1 percent
  • ?Population in July of 2011::?416,468
  • ?Population in April 2010:?403,903
  • ?Average annual city unemployment (2011):?7.6 percent
  • ?Increase in jobs (2010 to 2011):?10,500?(2.07 percent)

Raleigh?s economy suffered through a tough year in 2009, as the Raleigh-Cary MSA?s real gross domestic product declined 0.93 percent. However, Raleigh?s economy recovered, growing at a robust 5.2 percent pace in 2010. In 2011, the Raleigh MSA added 10,500 jobs over the year with 3,200 of these coming from the trade, transportation and utilities industries, which cumulatively make up what is as of May the city?s largest employers. Much of the Raleigh area?s housing is new -- 14.6 percent of all housing units were created between 2005 and 2010. In 2011, Meritage Homes, the United States? ninth-largest homebuilder, began constructing homes in the region.?

Painting Contractor Atlanta- The Art of Matching Kitchen Colors ...

Last updated 14 hours ago

Creating a kitchen atmosphere that is comfortable and aesthetically appealing is important in making a home feel as ?homey? as it can be. While you can achieve a beautiful and compelling kitchen with the help of an experienced painting contractor, it helps to know the basics of matching kitchen colors.

After deciding on a color scheme for your kitchen, it is important that you stick with it. Several schematic options exist for you to choose from, and adhering to the design rules set forth by one of these schemes will make your kitchen more comfortable and inviting:

An analogous color scheme is great for a kitchen in a more modern home. If you choose kitchen appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and design elements in colors that are adjacent to one another on the color wheel, the color scheme in your kitchen may be considered analogous.

Take out that color wheel again. If you like two colors that are opposite from one another on the wheel, you can create an effective complementary color scheme by choosing kitchen features and wall paint of those two colors.

The monochromatic color scheme differs from the analogous color scheme in that different shades of one color, rather than a handful of similar colors, are used. Like analogous color schemes, monochromatic schemes are great for modern kitchens.

If you would like to create a vibrant kitchen environment that adheres to standard design conventions, you can choose three equally spaced colors from the color spectrum and let your imagination run wild. To ensure that these colors are well-spaced in your kitchen, hire a painting contractor to color your kitchen walls and cabinetry.

The experienced paint contractors here at Superior Pro Home Improvement can help you create the kitchen atmosphere you have always wanted. To find out more about our painting and window replacement services, contact us online or call (678) 951-8770.

How to Tackle Salary Negotiation With a Job Offer

2:00 PM By Article Directory

'; div.innerHTML = summary; } //]]> How to Tackle Salary Negotiation With a Job Offer How to Tackle Salary Negotiation With a Job Offer

Salary negotiation takes careful footwork, especially on the current economic terrain. Even at the worst of times, however, senior managers can create opportunities to negotiate a better deal. Using a competing job offer as a bargaining chip may be one of those opportunities - but handle with care.

Let's be clear: Companies are still willing to discuss raises even in a recession. Many firms have already gone through layoffs, so the remaining employees are the ones that are the most highly valued. Professionals with the right skills and experience in key projects still have leverage.

Are you contemplating using a job offer as a salary negotiation tool? First, get a sense of how much your current company can give even if it wants to. Take a look at the course the company has taken over the past 12 months. If compensation has been shrinking and benefits are being taken away, this is a clue to how successful salary talks might be. Whether negotiating the salary for a new job or asking for a raise in your current position, these tips can help you secure the salary you deserve.

Don't Bluff

Never, ever pursue a counteroffer unless you're prepared to leave. Understand that there is a chance that the current employer may take offense and let an employee go on the spot. And if you're compelled to back down, you've already marked yourself as a flight risk.

Therefore, never use an undesirable job as leverage; a potential raise is not worth the trade. On the other end, remember that the company extending the competing offer actually wants to hire and not just be used as a bargaining chip. Offers can be rescinded; it is best to weigh each situation individually and only take on a comfortable level of risk.

Why Are You Negotiating?

More money is always nice, but it should not be the sole focus of your negotiation. Being able to change responsibilities, work with different colleagues or managers, shift projects and develop a career path are all excellent reasons for coming to the bargaining table.

Set goals before you go into a salary discussion and establish acceptable results on a scale. Don't refuse an offer out of spite just because the numbers may not be as high as you'd hoped; see if you can balance the gap by negotiating other goals.

Forms Of Compensation

Base salary is not the only negotiable element of a compensation package. Performance bonuses, milestone payouts and signing bonuses are also common forms of payment. Other big-ticket items include healthcare and their premiums, 401k programs and employer match amounts, stock options, and company discounts. Don't forget other tangible benefits such as gym memberships, company cars, travel expenses and allowances.

You should always come prepared to take something off of the table. Decide in advance what's most important to you; that way, you can plan to scale back your other conditions in an orderly fashion.

It Is All About Attitude

Negotiations should be a dialogue, not a confrontation. It's a two-way street: Professionals deliver value to a company through their expertise and performance, and they want to be fairly compensated for that added value.

Use a competing job offer as a metric of market value rather than a threat. Combine it with other market metrics, such as national compensation figures for your position, so the discussion is a compressive evaluation of an employee's worth, not simply a debate about the position currently on the table.

In the end, using a job offer as a part of bargaining has its own set of risks and rewards. With a good job offer in hand, professionals have a good deal of leverage and a viable backup plan. Be aware of the pitfalls before entering any salary negotiation while focusing on getting what you want.

Why You Need A Business Blog To Have A Booming Business Online

July 20th, 2012 // 12:31 pm @ Mike T. Spoons

You may be mystified why you need a business blog, if your business is already successful with lots of traffic. To continue with a level of success or to improve on that success, it is now essential to have a blog as part of your internet presence. In order to maintain your customer base and to allow it to grow and go on to get bigger, a business blog is essential. If your site is already enjoying success, a business blog will add value to it.

With a static site, there isn?t any sense that there is an actual person behind it. People like to know there is a genuine person, who will respond when a question is asked. There should be more to a web site than the print and the images. With a blog, the site visitors can make comments, and you can react to what they say, allowing for a rapport that is not possible with a static website. With all of the social networking around, people like interaction, especially before they think of buying any product. With a blog, the content may be updated regularly, so the people can have the latest information. The information you share can thus always be pertinent and up to date.

Search engines are responsible for 80% of a site?s visitors, and site owners know this so they try to increase their rankings with the Loki link builder review. The major search engines are the best source of targeted prospects. People will find your goods and services via their search queries on the search engines. This is the reason it is fantastic for driving the kind of visitors you want to your site. It is much quicker getting blog pages indexed than static pages, which is important for showing up in the search engine results.

Blogs have something special, the ping function, which makes it much easier to generate traffic to a blog than a static page. Every time a new post is made, it is pinged, letting the search engines know that completely new content has been put on the site. Spider bots are then directed by the search engines to analyze the material on your blog to find out if it is fresh. If the spiders are satisfied, your brand new content will be indexed and will be shown in the search engine results for queries with the content?s keywords. Then it is merely a matter of getting your web pages to rank high enough so that a lot of people will see them.

Whenever you publish a new blog post the internal links on your blog are updated accordingly, something that cannot be done with static web pages. With these the linking is a manual activity, as well as the construction of a sitemap. You waste time and effort working on technical things which on a blog are carried out on auto-pilot. If your website is a blog, the energy you waste on a website?s technical issues can be directed into more productive things. It is now fast approaching the stage where you must have a blog for your web business to be successful.
