The deal page isn't live yet, but this one's Twitter official: Windows 7 will be just $30 for US college students. Full details are expected any minute, but for now, there's just a placeholder. UPDATED: It's up. The conditions of the deal, which just went live, are as simple as can be: If you're an active student at an American university, or you at least have a working email address from a university (thanks, my old college!), you're entitled to a $30 price for Windows 7 Home Premium (update: or Pro!), which is normally at least $120. Best of all, the offer's good until January 3rd, so you've got plenty of time to bag a license, brah. [Microsoft]

I’m so excited! About a month ago Network Solutions (my favorite ecommerce host) contacted me and requested an interview about my ecommerce stores. Today, the interview went live and is spotlighted on their SMART Ecommerce Blog! The interview will also be featured in their next newsletter, so I couldn’t be happier. To learn a little more about my ecommerce experience and background in Internet businesses, please go check out my interview. And be sure to leave me any questions you might have.

As many of you know, I’ve been a loyal customer of Network Solutions since 2006. After several disappointing attempts to set up ecommerce hosting with other big name companies, I was fortunate to find Network Solutions and I’ve never looked back. Besides their fantastic 24/7 phone support, I truly believe Network Solutions is the leader in ecommerce hosting. With the ability to completely customize your storefront, import/export products and orders, offer gift certificates and discounts, display related products in product descriptions and much more, NS beats Yahoo Stores, Homestead, eBay ProStores, OS Commerce and every other shopping cart software I’ve come across in both quality and price! Today, I received an email from Network Solutions regarding MAJOR changes they are making to their brand. It looks like they’ve decided to reinvent their website and tweak their products. Of course, I would have remained a happy customer anyways, but their new look does spark a little

Remember NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)? It’s an 8-bit video game console released back in 1985. Besides being a solid gaming system, NES brought us legendary games such as Super Mario Bros, Tetris, and The Legend of Zelda. What does all that have to do with Google’s (Google) web browser, Chrome (Chrome)? Well, a chap named Ben Firshman ported a NES emulator called vNES into JavaScript, creating JSNES. Yes, it works in Firefox (Firefox) 3.5 and in Safari (Safari) 4, but thanks to its JavaScript optimizations, it runs about 10 times faster in Chrome. To play, you only need to open this address in Google Chrome, and choose a ROM. I’ve tried out a couple of games and gotten an average FPS of around 50, compared to an unplayable 5 in Firefox. Besides helping you kill some time, this exercise is cool because it really makes you see that all those under the hood optimizations in the new Chrome aren’t just hype.

The email, the intro, and some annoyance The person on the other end of the phone introduced himself and asked if I recalled seeing emails from his company, as they’d sent me a few over the past couple of months. I said I’d seen some from companies with similar offerings, but I wasn’t sure if any were specifically from his business. We exchanged questions and answers for about seven minutes and then he kind of slipped in an “Oh by the way, we charge $199 to set up.” That he waited until he thought he had me interested to throw that tidbit out there annoyed me a little, especially since his competitors do not charge a set up fee at all and we’d already gone through pricing. The tip off We talked a minute more and then he said something that tipped me off to the fact that he hadn’t been to my web site yet. I made an admonishing, but lighthearted comment about how could he think about calling me without at least going to my site first. Then he said something else that revealed he d

The $150 Space Camera. Bespoke is old hat. Off-the-shelf is in. Even Google runs the world’s biggest and scariest server farms on computers home-made from commodity parts. DIY is cheaper and often better, as Justin Lee and Oliver Yeh found out when they decided to send a camera into space. The two students (from MIT, of course) put together a low-budget rig to fly a camera high enough to photograph the curvature of the Earth. Instead of rockets, boosters and expensive control systems, they filled a weather balloon with helium and hung a styrofoam beer cooler underneath to carry a cheap Canon A470 compact camera. Instant hand warmers kept things from freezing up and made sure the batteries stayed warm enough to work. Of course, all this would be pointless if the guys couldn’t find the rig when it landed, so they dropped a prepaid GPS-equipped cellphone inside the box for tracking. Total cost, including duct tape? $148.

I talk to a lot of companies that are still hunting for customer number one, or have made a few sales, but the ball really isn’t rolling yet. Most of them are making the same mistake: Their public persona is exactly wrong. I know, because I made the same mistake – but I learned my lesson. Even before I had a single customer, I knew it was important to look professional. My website needed to look and feel like a “real company.” I needed culture-neutral language complimenting culturally-diverse clip-art photos of frighteningly chipper co-workers huddled around a laptop, awash with the thrill and delight of configuring a JDBC connection to SQL Server 2008. It also meant adopting typical “marketing-speak,” so my “About Us” page started with: “Smart Bear is the leading provider of enterprise version control data-mining tools. Companies world-wide use Smart Bear’s Code Historian software for risk-analysis, root-cause discovery, and software development decision-support.”

FLORISSANT, Mo. (AP/KMOV) — A St. Louis County man was killed after three men attacked him in his home. It happened around 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday in the 3900 block of Max Weich in an unincorporated part of north St. Louis County near Florissant. A family member has identified the victim as Orlanda Smith, 23. That family member tells News 4 that Smith's mother was in the garage at the home when three suspects approached her and asked to speak to her son. Smith's mother brought them into the house. Two of the suspects followed Smith's mother into the basement to Smith's room and another suspect, who was reportedly wearing a ski mask and carrying an AK47, stayed upstairs. The other two suspects knocked on the door to Smith's room and he did not answer. The suspects then burst into the room and shot and killed Smith. Smith's girlfriend was inside at the time of the shooting and was reportedly hiding under a matress when the suspects came in.

Every designer has their own way of formatting and organizing style sheets. Let's take a look at a few different methods. Technically, there is no correct solution. But, depending on the project at hand, you may decide to choose one method over another. A Single Stylesheet For Everything Loading in a single style sheet is a great way to keep your styles separate from the rest of your markup. This is how I used to organize things. Including a "global.css" file is easy, and simple. No matter what, you know where your styles are. Linking to them is easy enough with a single link tag in the head of the document.

If you've ever created a complicated Web site with a lot of specialized styles to determine the look and design of your site, you will find that your stylesheet will become complex and unwieldy very quickly. But if you organize your CSS file you can create a document that makes sense and is even easy to maintain and update even years later. Order Your CSS Sensibly The first thing you should remember is that the first letter in CSS stands for "Cascading". This means that the styles that are applied to a document are applied in a cascade – something like a waterfall. As the browser reads through the document, the last properties that are defined are the ones that take precedence (with some exceptions). That means that you should order your CSS document to take advantage of that cascade. Put the most general properties first, and your most specific properties last.

Working with CSS on my own site’s redesign, freelance work, and my job made me start thinking about the best way to standardize and organize the way I write my CSS. So, I proposed the question to my 9rules friends to collect the best tips from the best designers. 1) This tip is perhaps the most useful because it can apply to both formats of CSS organization that I will describe later. I first saw this on Mike Rundle’s latest redesign of 9rules where he indents descendant and related rules.

Intuit will acquire the free online personal finance service Mint, we’ve confirmed from a source close to the deal, for around $170 million. The deal should be announced in the next few days. This is a terrific exit for Mint, which first launched two years ago at TechCrunch50. Mint took the top prize at that event and has been growing fast ever since. Their last round of financing valued the company at $140 million. In all, Mint has raised $32 million over three venture rounds. Earlier this year Mint and Intuit had a humorous clash over Mint advertising claims of gaining 3,000 new users a day and jumping from 600,000 to 850,000 users in a matter of months. Intuit sent a letter to Mint demanding an explanation for this apparently inconceivable feat, which we obtained and printed here. We have just one question for founder and CEO Aaron Patzer, though. Can we please have our $50,000 grand prize back? It seems like you don’t really need it any more. 🙂

Facebook is one of those Web phenomena that impress everyone with numbers. To cite some: about 250 million users are on Facebook, and together they spend more than 5 billion minutes on Facebook… every day. These numbers suggest that we should start thinking about how to use Facebook for blogging or vice versa. We did some research to find out how the integration of Facebook with WordPress and vice versa works, or — in other words — how you can present your WordPress blog on Facebook or use the functionality of Facebook on your WordPress-powered blog. Both of these can be achieved with a set of WordPress plug-ins, a couple of which we’ll present here in detail.

Your website may be top notch but what's the use of an online presence if no one can find it? In this quick start guide to search engine optimization we'll review an assortment of tactics to increase your page ranking.

Are you familar with happy talk? If you're not sure whether something is happy talk, there's one sure-fire test: if you listen very closely while you're reading it, you can actually hear a tiny voice in the back of your head saying "Blah blah blah blah blah…." A lot of happy talk is the kind of self-congratulatory promotional writing that you find in badly written brochures. Unlike good promotional copy, it conveys no useful information, and focuses on saying how great we are, as opposed to delineating what makes us great.

It's 9:30am and you've just started a pitch for a new SEO client. They're the curious type – wanting to know how search engines rank pages, why the changes you'll recommend will make an impact, where you learned to do SEO, and who you can list as good examples of your work. As you dive deeper into the requirements for the project, you arrive at the link building section. The client wants to know why link building matters so much. You pull up a chart of Search Engine Ranking Factors, noting the large role that links play in the ordering algorithms. They're mollified, but have one last question: How does Google decide how much a particular link helps my rankings? That's where this blog post comes in handy. Below, you'll find a list of many of the most important factors the engines consider when judging the value of a link. Before we start, there's one quick concept that's critical to grasp:

One-page websites, or “one-pagers” as I like to call them have proven to be a very simple and effective way of relaying all needed information effectively. An issue with the standard website is that visitors need to go through a plethora of different pages before they find the information they are looking for, whilst if a visitor where to go to a one-page website, he/she knows that if the information they’re looking for isn’t available on that single page, it is not stated at all. It is also makes the experience of visiting your website much easier to just have everything on a single page, and because of this, it’s becoming much more popular with design portfolios in particular. But not only are the designers picking up on this phenomena, and I’ve also seen some company websites adopting this trend also.

While checking out the website for Park Community Church in Chicago yesterday, Daniel noticed something interesting. On the site’s prominent “I’m New to Park” page, visitors find these words: Looking for a church? We understand there’s not a “one size fits all” church for everyone. So here’s a list of other churches you should include in your search. Wow. That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen on a church website — a local church providing new folks with a list of other local churches to consider. (I’m not saying Park is the first or only church to do this — that really doesn’t matter — I’ve just never seen it before.) By telling me about other churches in the area, Park actually tells me a lot about itself as an organization. Park Community Church, we applaud you. For everyone else, we’re not mad at you for not posting a similar list on your site … but it’s something you should at least consider. In fact, I’d be interested to hear from you guys on this

Note to self: Figure out a good way to (once again) write about the concept of the International Date Standard or International Date Format. It's an important subject that should be talked about more as the world gets smaller and we all get more connected. It's also quite a boring subject. A real yawner. Seriously… Hmm. Perhaps I could tie it in with the date of September 9th, 2009, since that will help demonstrate my point (with the 9/9/9). I don't know, though, that seems kind of … pretentious. This is going to be tough.
