Thought of the Day:

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

Baby Boomers Buy Lots Of Stuff: What You Need To Know About This Powerful Market
by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Staff Writer

BABY BOOMERS: Let your voices be heard! If you were born between 1946 and 1964, click HERE to take our short 10-question survey.

This is about niche markets, actually, a lot of niche markets. These are all part of the gigantic baby boomer market, defined by Trendwatching.com- as well as the U.S. Census Bureau - as those born between 1946 and 1964. They further quote the MIT AgeLab as saying the world's population is aging quickly. The 50+ population is the fastest growing segment worldwide, and life expectancies are at a historical high. An American turns 50 once every seven seconds. Within the next few years, 50% of the European Union's population will be 65+. By 2030, in Italy, retirees will outnumber active workers. By 2050, the median age in Thailand will rise to 50, also according to the MIT data. Baby Boomers are turning 50 at the rate of 1 every 10 seconds. That's more than 12,000 each day, and over 4 million a year for the next decade!...

Desktop Search Engines
Reviewed by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Writer

I have been amazed at how many desktop search products there are. Many are free, but some cost just a few dollars up to several hundred dollars. The programs in this review are for Windows platforms, and there are so many I have limited the discussion to those that looked to be the best. Frankly, they all have some functions that are similar, and whichever one is chosen will, in many ways, reflect the personal preferences of the user.

All of you, at some time, surf the Web for random information. Most of you have used search engines like Google, Ask.com, and many others which search the Internet for information. That kind of search is quite different from searching your own computer, or your local network. Desktop Search programs are designed just for finding your own files and the documents they contain. Most desktop programs also search your e-mails and RSS feeds; they also check browser history, e-mail, audio, image, and video files, according to the preferences you set...
