You can save the environment and save yourself money if you reuse OR recycle old ink cartridges.

If you are like most people today, you have at least one computer and one printer in your home, and more in your office.

If you have a printer connected to your laptop or desktop computer at home or in a small business office, you probably go through a lot of printer cartridges each month.

Whether you are printing reports for school projects, business reports or papers, email, jokes, recipes or references pages, that can amount to a lot of ink.

And when you are finished with that ink cartridge, what do you do with it? You probably just throw it away and install a new ink cartridge, right?

All of those ink cartridges have to go somewhere and they are NOT biodegradable. So, in addition to batteries and cell phones, we now have another source of permanent garbage.

Why not consider one of the following options to make your ink cartridge last longer, OR recycle your cartridge when you are ready to throw it away?

Recycling or reusing a printer cartridge doesn’t take that much effort and it will really help the environment.

If you are the adventuresome type, you can save money on your printer cartridges by reusing them. When your cartridge runs out of ink, don’t throw it away.

Instead, go online or run to your local office supply store and buy a refill for your cartridge. The refill process takes a little time the first time you do it, and the instructions may seem cumbersome. But, after you have the first refill under your belt, you will feel like a pro.

Refills are much less expensive than buying another cartridge so you’ll feel good about saving money too!

If you have never been good at that sort of thing, at least consider recycling your ink cartridge. Look into these options by doing a search online or talking to your local office supply store. Many office supply stores will give you plastic bags to keep on hand.

When you are finished with your printer cartridge and you go to the store to buy a new one, you simply pop your old printer cartridge into the plastic bag and seal it.

Take it to the office supply store with you and drop it off to them to recycle. They may even give you a discount on your new printer cartridge when you drop off the old one!

Check into online store policies as well, as some will allow you to return your printer cartridge to get coupons or discounts on your next purchase.

If your business is a bit larger and you buy your cartridges in bulk from a wholesaler, you can also check into your wholesaler’s policy regarding recycling.

Some wholesalers will allow you to collect and return old cartridges for recycling AND give you a discount on your next bulk purchase for each batch of recycled cartridges you return.

So, you DO have options. You can choose to REUSE your cartridges by injecting new ink into them instead of buying new ink cartridges, and save some money in the process.

OR, you can recycle your ink cartridges, save some money in the process, AND feel good about protecting the environment for yourself and the next generation!

not to be outdone by NVIDIA , Samsung also went ahead and announced the next-generation dual-core processors for smartphones. The name Orion, will be equipped with a pair of 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 in conjunction with graphics processor cores, which offers 5x enhanced 3D graphics performance over the previous generation Hummingbird.

NVIDIA is also raising 5x graphics performance of previous-generation single-core processors, so it will be interesting to see these two CPUs go head-to-head and see who comes out on top. Little is known about the complete architecture Tegra 2 system-on-chip, but Samsung could benefit from the changes they have made in the ARM Cortex-A9 reference. Samsung includes a few bonuses, such as 1 MB L2 cache CPU processing to optimize performance, added support for DDR3 memory on board and has a native triple displays.

Samsung uses the PowerVR SGX GPU with Imagination Technologies, so perhaps well see next-gen version is used with an Orion. I have not heard of any inland, but Orion could be the first system-on-chip to get the new SGX Series5XT GPU(which is apparently for many SOC from Apple, Intel, Sony, TI).

Orion will have access to select customers in the fourth quarter and mass production will occur in 2011. This means that Samsung will use its own CPU in the next generation of smartphones Galaxy, which is expected to start before Christmas. Some analysts argued Samsung had a hole Q4 , but you have to be crazy to think of the nations largest manufacturer of headsets do not miss the important holiday shopping season.

Another possible client processor can reportedly Orion Playstation Phone Sony Ericsson. Portable Sony Playstation 2 is also supposed to Series5XT PowerVR SGX GPU, which means that both devices will be based on similar platforms.

Qualcomm and Texas Instruments also said that they have a dual-core processors available in Q4, but not yet heard any official announcements of the product. HTC is working with the new Qualcomm HTC Glacier dual-core machine, but I know it will be 205 Adreno powerful GPU can be less than the current Samsung Hummingbird. We can also see TI OMAP4 Motorola smartphone this year, but once that the GPU is the same as the Hummingbird(SGX540).

Who do you think will produce the best dual-core processor for smartphones this year? NVIDIA will or Samsung

If you have recently been laid off and are considering career options, it may be well worth looking into the field of tax preparation. This is a career with minimal entry requirements, offers a great deal of scheduling flexibility, along with attractive earnings potential.

It is a fact that many of those who have been laid off are older workers who may face some barriers with regard to obtaining new employment but are also not yet ready to retire. The relatively short length of training needed to start work in this field (little as 10 weeks) combined with the earnings potential, even working on a part time basis, provides these workers with a ready method by which they can remain in the workforce while ensuring a steady stream of income.

Even if you are not thinking to make tax preparation a long term career, it can still provide a method of earning an income while seeking work in your field.

The completion of a tax return asks for much the same financial information as does a mortgage, investment, or credit application.

Tax preparers must be detail oriented, be comfortable with computer software programs, and possess excellent client service skills. Tax preparers must also adhere to a highly professional code of conduct and ensure that all financial information revealed by a client is kept in complete confidence.

Over the past decade or so, many people have started trading e-minis from their own homes. And recent technology has made it possible to trade as if you were sitting next to your trading mentor or partner. Emini trading rooms have been popping up all over the place, and many traders are looking for a good resource to learn how to day trade futures. In this article, I’m going to give you a few things to consider when looking for a good online day trading chat room.

First and foremost, make sure that whatever e-mini trading room you choose to join teaches a specific trading strategy. You want to make sure that everyone in the room is focused on the same information that doesn’t contradict each other. Conflicting opinions can be extremely distracting and remove your focus from what’s really important, your personal trading performance.

Next, make sure the moderator explains the possible trade setups ahead of time. While going back to study historical charts is good practice, it’s not helpful for making money in the live market. A true live futures trading room will explain the current market movement and what to anticipate next. After all, traders make money by anticipating and staying one or two steps ahead of the market, not studying history. Everything works perfect in hindsight!

The cost of a day trading chat room can range anywhere from a free social room to over $1,000 a week for professional trading groups. There are many resources and options available for any budget. I would like to caution you though, don’t join a trading room just because the price is cheap. As with anything else of value, you get what you pay for. Also, I believe that a trading room is only part of the equation to becoming a consistently profitable trader. You still need to take the time to develop your own skill as a trader, which means practice and live market experience.

Technology is so advanced that we can now hear, see, and communicate with whoever is running the trading room. If you’re trading a fast and volatile markets like e-mini futures, then you’ll need to have someone who can speak directly through your speakers. Also, you’ll want to be able to see their charts through some sort of screen sharing program. All the good online trading chat room software programs have this feature.

One last point I’d like to make is that there is a big difference between a live trading room and a newsletter. Some people provide stock tips and advice that could be helpful for swing traders or longer term investors. However, day traders require much more than an email service or delayed recommendation. With a high-quality e-mini trading room, you should have a professional trader guiding your thoughts as the market goes up and down.
