			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Internet taxation</strong> laws have been debated in courtrooms across the U.S. for the past several years, with the fortunes of singlepage websites and multibillion-dollar enterprises hanging in the balance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8431/taxationservices.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In what is considered to be a landmark case, the North Carolina Department of Revenue had requested that <strong>e-commerce giant Amazon</strong> reveal sensitive customer data to help the state collect back <strong>taxes from online transactions</strong>. <span id="more-2958"></span>The motion was recently denied because of basic First Amendment rights, delivering a significant blow to North Carolina’s plan to use the tax money to lower its considerable budget deficit. The decision represents a victory for the commercial Web as well as for the U.S. Constitution, but similar cases are being decided in New York, Texas, Colorado and several other states.</p>

<p>A lot of business, no matter big or small, mostly involve in <strong>facebook marketing</strong>. Facebook marketing is much more effective compare to other marketing channel, the benefit for facebook marketing that I like most is <strong>low cost</strong> and able to <strong>reach more people</strong> directly. A lot of successful story and campaign at facebook prove that facebook is a good martketing channel.</p>
<p>During the <strong>social media coffee talk</strong> that I participate few month ago, the experct mention a lot of small business, either selling Men and women cloth, lingeries, watches or fashion accessories at facebook, they predict one day facebook might take action on this kind of account. What action will it be?<span id="more-2932"></span></p>
<p><strong>Risk of selling at facebook: </strong><br />
Have you ever think before what will happen if one day Facebook come out <strong>new policy</strong> which is &#8220;<strong>Not allow to post your product in Facebook</strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>No selling in Facebook</strong>&#8220;? If you have to stop all your selling activity, or your Facebook account has been blocked. Are you going to lost all your contact and customer here?</p>
<p>A lot of people realized that this issue might happen one day, so they <strong>tried to prevent from losing their business at facebook</strong>. one of the easiest way is to setup their business using own website, <strong>build their brand using Facebook</strong>. As they known, it&#8217;s better to allow their customer to <strong>place order at their business website than Facebook</strong>.</p>
<p>If one day bad thing happen here, their customer still able to find them at their website. From there, you also can build better customer loyalty which can bring long term sales and higher sales volume.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Proton</strong> is the Malaysia local brand for auto industry, <strong>Proton Inspira</strong>, the new Proton’s product that claimed to be the most anticipated car in years will be launched on <strong>10th November 2010</strong>. Whoever that has a chance to glance on its photo will know that it is similar to <strong>Mitsubishi Lancer GT</strong>, another Lancer in Proton growing history. Somehow, it is selling at a much lower price range from <strong>RM79,888 to RM95,000.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/7452/mitsubishi20lancer20evo.jpg" alt="lancer" width="525" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/3871/protoninspira4.jpg" alt="proton inspira" width="525" /></p>
<p>According to Proton, <strong>Proton Inspira</strong> is under collaboration with <strong>Mitsubishi Motor Corp</strong>. of Japan. But, what is the difference between Proton Inspira and Mitsubishi Lancer then? After the retuning by Lotus on the suspension setup, will it be better? Or it is just another compromisation for the difference on pricing.<span id="more-2898"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/8059/protoninspirasemi.jpg" alt="black inspira" width="525" /></p>
<p>However, for those who cannot afford for a real Mitsubishi Lancer which will cost you about RM120,980, this could be a solution or choice for you. The Inspira is available in <strong>1.8 litre CVT</strong> (<strong>Continously Variable Transmission</strong>) and manual transmission as well as a <strong>2-litre CVT</strong> transmission. One point to praise on the Inspira is the interior design, it does look luxurious in the photos. It even has a LCD that the original Mitsubishi Lancer does not have.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/723/protoninspirawajalancer.jpg" alt="" width="525" /></p>
<p>Proton is confident with this new car. Consumer, are you confident with Proton quality? With this price, one could get a nice <strong>Honda City</strong> or <strong>Toyota Vios</strong>. At least, the confidence levels for these cars are better. What do you think?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/3850/protoninspira.jpg" alt="" width="525" /></p>
<p>All the doubt is yet to be answered. Let’s see what Proton has to say about this new baby of them tomorrow.</p>
<p>For those who like to modify car, and would like to modify Proton Inspira to become Lancer Evo, remember to modify the petrol hole, Inspira petrol hole is round one, while Evo Lancer is square one!</p>
<p>In my opinion, if you support local product, probably can consider Proton Inspira, since Inspira is almost same level with Mitshumithi Lancer, it above Toyota Vios and Honda City already, almost can compete with my <a title="honda civic 2010" href="http://www.icalvyn.com/plan-for-honda-civic-2010/" target="_blank">Civic 1.8</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google recently announced the official demise of its real-time collaboration protocol, Wave. A well-received, even forward-thinking concept when it was first introduced more than a year ago, Wave was supposed to supplant e-mail and change online communications forever. Instead, the “very clever product” &#8211; as described by CEO Eric Schmidt &#8211; was a little too clever for the masses and, more than anything else, just confused<br />
the heck out of everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/7768/googlewavef.jpg" alt="Google Wave" /></p>
<p>But there’s a high probability that we will see some of Wave’s features in future Google products, such as the social networking site that is rumored to be in development. If this project &#8211; Google Me &#8211; does in fact exist, history tells us it stands a better chance of becoming the next Wave rather than the next Facebook.<span id="more-2851"></span></p>
<p>No wonder not much people asking my <a href="http://www.icalvyn.com/google-wave-invitation">Google wave invitation </a>that I offer years ago</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RAID, is <strong>Redundant Array Indenpent Disk</strong>, what is RAID 0?</p>
<p>For RAID 0, is a technology which split the data evenly across 2 or more hard drive (striped), with no parity information for redundancy. RAID 0 is not an original RAID levels and it provides no data redundancy.In RAID 0, minimum hard disk will be 2.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/RAID_0.svg/150px-RAID_0.svg.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Advantage:</strong><br />
To create a larger virtual hard drive with a lot of smaller physical hard drive. <span id="more-2809"></span>Meaning that if the market current largest hard disk size is 2 Tera Bytes, while the server can shows 20 tera bytes hard as a single hard disk, but originally is combine of 20&#8242;s 2 tera bytes physical hard drive.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, if you using different size of hard drive, only minimum hard drive space will be apply. Example, you using 1 Tera hard drive striped with another 2 tera hard drive, the final hard disk space will be 2 tera only.</p>
<p>Other then this, according to the theory, RAID 0 also improve performance. How to RAID 0 increase performance?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/RAID_0.svg/150px-RAID_0.svg.png" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As we can see on above diagram, the data are split to different hard drive. The minimum hard drive is 2. Lets imagine if a file with 1000MB, write to 1 hard drive require 10minute, with using RAID 0, imagine there are 4 physical hard drive, now require 2.5minute to write this 1000MB file into the hard drive.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Same to reading the file or copying the files.</p>
<p><strong>Disadvantage:</strong></p>
<p>No data redundancy, since the data are evenly split between all the hard drive, once of the hard disk fail, will bring all your data to hell.</p>
<p>Suggestion:</p>
<p>Some said purchase another external hard drive, and schedule a weekly or daily backup of the data to the external drive.</p>
