Is Apple really that big of a company? The short answer is yes. Here are a few reasons why.

Apple's total sales in 2011 were around 128 billion dollars! That's more than the combined GDP of over 60 nations! Some of the countries included in that list are Cuba, New Zealand and Iraq! Those numbers are staggering.

Apple is the largest tradable company in the stock market. Beating out companies such as Exxon, Microsoft and even Wal-Mart. Apple sells more than 694 Ipads a minute. That's 11 Ipads a second! One of the most impressive statistics would be the amount of IPhones sold. Over 74 million Iphones were sold in 2011. That's almost equal to the total weight of the Eiffel Tower!

From computers to phones, Apple is a technology powerhouse. It doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. These numbers can only continue in the years to come.

Typically, entrepreneurs are thought to belong to the older crowd. It makes sense-- more experience, more time to understand the industry and how it works, more training, more resources and everything else. Younger people looking to get into the business world are typically seen as too inexperienced, too under motivated, and too inept to dip their toes into the pool of entrepreneurship. In spite of this, today's corporate America is seeing a bumper crop of younger men and women in business who are taking their industries by force with wildly successful self-made businesses. Shockingly, some of them have yet to reach the age of 30! With all of the backlash resulting from "Millenials" starting to enter the workforce, you would think that one would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the below-30 crowd that has found success at an early age. However, to the surprise of many, young entrepreneurs like Arash Ferdowski, Soraya Darabi, and Matt Mickiewicz are creating businesses that are raking in millions.

The more a company or organization grows, the more data it is likely to amass. This is a good thing, as it is an indication of progress and the capacity for future growth and development. However, without a custom-tailored way to store data, it can be difficult to keep growing without problems arising.

There are various ways to store vast amounts of data, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. A service provider such as LSI, which specializes in data storage and processing, is likely to have a data storage solution that is right for your organization or company’s needs. But proper research and understanding of storage types and capacities is essential before making a decision.

It might be easy to overlook something like data storage, but if the proper attention and care isn’t paid, your company or organization’s very existence and ability to do business could be threatened. Backing up and storing data in a safe and secure way with a tailor-made storage technology solution is essential to future security and success.

Copyright remains a hot-button issue in information technology, internet theory, and pop culture, and it will for some time to come.

The overreaching anti-infringement acts SOPA and PIPA were defeated in large part by the collective outcry of private citizens, but the impulses that were driving the legislation remain as strong and far-reaching as ever, and they will give rise to more such efforts.

This isn’t just a conflict between law enforcement and a system that enables theft.  If the associated copyright issues were limited to straightforward theft of intellectual property like films and songs, there would be relatively little controversy. Then the entire subject would indeed be just a question of where to draw the line on enforcement so as to do no harm to the structure and freedom of the internet.

Everyone should already know just how important social sites are when it comes to finding new ideas for the home. Following people on the two largest sites, Facebook and Twitter can lead to many great ideas and designs that you may never have found through the old methods of searching through catalogs or even looking through your favorite home design websites. Although the top two social networking sites are great for getting new ideas, there’s a new arrival on the scene that is quickly becoming the go-to place for home improvement and all related living topics. I’m talking of course about Pinterest, which while it is only a couple of years old is already the number three ranked social networking site in the world, and it’s not hard to see why.

The first thing you should never do is trust the review or comment by someone listed on the pages of the site that is being reviewed. That would make sense as it is never going to be that the site will allow anyone who has anything negative to say, to be published on their site. So first rule, is look for independent reviews.
