When BookArc is paired with Air and an external monitor a boost up in the display is noticed that is very precise for graphic applied programs. Its shipping is done only for $39.99. When a monitor is used with Air left open the video memory is ditributed among the two displays. But when working with BookArc in resting position and closed Air seems to utilise its 100% memory onto the monitor.

The iPad is certainly the top tablet as far as consumers are concerned, but businesses strongly prefer it, too. That’s the word from the industry analysts at NPD, who just published the results of a survey that shows nearly three-quarters of small- and medium-size businesses (SMBs) are looking to buy tablets for their workers in 2012, strongly preferring the iPad over competitors.

The survey found that the larger the company, the more likely it was to want a tablet, and the stronger the preference for the iPad. Among businesses with fewer than 50 employees, the intent to purchase a tablet was a solid-but-not-overwhelming majority of 54%. As the companies grew, however, so did their desire for tablets, with 89% of companies between 501 and 999 employees planning to buy them. Of all the businesses considering a tablet, 73% were targeting the iPad.

“You’re really dealing with two different types of business,” Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD, told Mashable. “When you look at really small business, under 50, there’s a lot of crossover between things consumers want to use and what’s useful in a small-business environment.”

The study is lousy — if unsurprising — news for Apple’s competitors. The only tablet to seriously challenge the iPad so far is Amazon’s Kindle Fire, but that device runs a customized operating system that’s highly catered toward consumers, so it makes sense that businesses aren’t interested. Even if business-friendly software were developed, the Fire lacks some key hardware features, such as a camera, that many companies would need.

A seemingly business-friendly alternative to the iPad is the BlackBerry PlayBook. But that device has suffered from a troubled spring launch that saw the tablet debut without a native email client. Users are still waiting for a software update that will add one, and its QNX-based operating system has little developer support.

“There really isn’t another product that has any kind of headway that the iPad has,” says Baker. “It’s probably not as much about the iPad as the product type. Employees are using them, and they want to find ways of using them in the business.”

Although the NPD study doesn’t include large companies, the iPad has been making inroads in the enterprise market as well. Following the “consumerization of IT” trend, a study released in May by Model Metrics showed 83% of IT departments at 448 companies planned to deploy iPads by the end of 2013.

Those numbers may shift, however, as Microsoft makes its big tablet push late next year. Windows 8 should start shipping in fall 2012, and the entire operating system has been tailored from the ground up to be tablet-friendly. Businesses that are reliant on Microsoft software (read: the vast majority) will have good reason to consider a Windows tablet once they become available.

Computer Sciences Corp. might have to write off the US$1.5 billion investment it has made in developing and deploying a failed e-patient records system in the U.K., which the government canceled in September, the company warned in a filing Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

CSC and the U.K. National Health Service had “substantially completed” negotiating a memorandum of understanding in May regarding a reduction in the scope of the project and its contract value. However, since mid-November, they have been negotiating over a proposed amendment that modifies the company’s existing contract with the NHS. CSC was recently informed that the memorandum of understanding and the proposed amendment will not be approved by the U.K. government, it said in the filing.

The company expects that it will continue discussions in January over proposals from both sides that would modify the scope and decrease the value of the contract, which “differ materially” from those in the memorandum of understanding, the filing said.

Until negotiations conclude, CSC cannot estimate the amount it will have to write down in the third quarter of its 2012 fiscal year, but said in the filing that depending on terms reached in the amendment under discussion or if no agreement is reached, the total could be equal to its net investment in the project, which was $1.5 billion as of Nov. 30. It is possible that the company will take on additional costs as well.

CSC will provide updated 2012 financial guidance related to the situation with the NHS project when it announces those third-quarter earnings in February, it said in the filing.

The company has faced withering criticism from the U.K. government over its handling of the project

Besides the ongoing issues with the NHS project, CSC has been beset by other problems this year, including a continuing SEC investigation related to possible fraudulent stock manipulation in the Nordic region and Australia.

The company announced in October that Chairman and CEO Michael W. Laphen would retire within a year.

For big brands, Google+ is probably a good investment — but is Google+ an efficient use of time for small businesses?

Google unveiled Google+ brand pages in November, enabling businesses and brands to join its social network. Since then, big brands — including Pepsi, Macy’s and Toyota — have jumped on the Google+ bandwagon, creating yet another hub page for their content-hungry fans.

We reached out to our community to better understand how (and if) small businesses are using Google+. We received more than 50 responses detailing the merits and downfalls of using Google’s social network as a small business.

Below are some of the top thoughts on the pros and cons of using Google+ as a small business. Read on and add your thoughts in the comments below.

7 Reasons to Use Google+

A bulk of the small businesses we spoke with said they feel Google+ is an important social platform because it was developed by Google, one of the Internet’s favorite brands and one of the most influential websites when it comes to site referrals. But small business owners gave a plethora of reasons for being early adopters of the platform. Here are some of the top reasons we heard for using Google+.

1. Get an SEO Boost: Bob Shirilla, director of marketing at Simply Bags, says that his business joined Google+ because he relies on Google search referrals for sales conversions. “Google+ influences search for all the people who have included my business in their circle,” he says. “We have also put a +1 button on each product page. This is a great way to get free promotion from people who like the product to people with similar interests.”

2. Host a Hangout: “Hangouts offer an amazing opportunity for businesses to engage in a highly personal way with clients, customers and industry thought leaders,” says Roger Friedensen, president and CEO of Forge Communications. “Plus, employees in remote locations can hold team meetings to brainstorm with one another from an interface that affords them immediate and easy access to share and collaborate on most of the information materials they might need, such as documents and spreadsheets.”

3. Expand Content Distribution: Phyllis Khare, the social media editorial director of iPhone Life magazine, says that Google+ is a great platform for expanding the publication’s content distribution. “It took us almost a year to get 1,000 Likes on our Facebook Page, and three days on G+ to get that number to Circle us,” she says. “We are gearing up for Hangouts with some of our writers in 2012 to answer iOS questions and a few other fun things with contests and giveaways.”

4. Connect with Early Adopters: If your business falls in the Internet or technology industries, Google+ could be a great place to connect a tech-savvy audience. “The people that are on Google+ already are most likely going to be early adopters of other technologies and marketing channels,” says Jason Pinto, CMO at interlinkONE. “When we look at what defines an ‘ideal customer’ for our products, that criteria is certainly high on our list.”

5. Segment Your Audience: “The obvious benefit of Google+ is that it allows us to share select content with specific audiences,” says Chad Udell, managing director of Float Mobile Learning. Google+ makes it easy for businesses to segment their audiences and share content directly with those certain groups of followers.

6. Use Google+ to Network: David Greenberg, president of Parliament Tutors, says that his business does not have a Google+ page, but that he uses his personal Google+ page to network and gather contact data and research the “personal side” of relevant contacts, such as journalists and potential clients, so that he can better create a connection with them. He adds that the “About” section of a contact’s Google+ profile is usually a great start.

7. Just Explore: Netronic Managing Director Martin Karlowitsch says, “We currently use Google+ for exploratory purposes. It is still a niche platform, but quickly growing and with a platform giant behind it. Knowing the impact that Google has on the way people find relevant information on the web, Google+ soon can become significant by combining social and search. I want to start early using this platform to be prepared when this inflection point arises.”

5 Downfalls of Using Google+

1. Administration is Difficult: “The pages need to be created from an individual’s Google+ account, and you cannot add admins or any other users to manage the account,” says Jason Donaldson, an account executive at Formic Media. “Depending on the size of the business, this may not be an issue. For example, if you only have one or two employees, there probably isn’t an issue accessing the page from a personal Google account. The problem becomes more exaggerated with businesses that don’t have a dedicated social media manager (unlikely with small businesses), because of the need to give out personal account information for users to post on the business page.”

2. Facebook and Twitter Reign: Many of the small businesses we spoke with pointed out that they maintain engaged audiences on Twitter and Facebook, but most of their customers and clients don’t use Google+. So, the platform isn’t much of a priority for their business. In the words of TwiloPR President Chris Heuwetter, “The true value is in Facebook, where we see a nice return on our efforts. Google+ seems like a ghost town [for many small businesses].”

3. Social Dashboards Don’t Integrate Google+ Yet: While more progressive social media dashboards, like Hootsuite, have integrated Google+ into their products, many social dashboard services on the market do not enable users to post to Google+. For businesses that manage their social presences from one central location, the lack of Google+ integration is a huge barrier to Google+ usage.

4. Google Side Projects are Unreliable: James Beswick manages online marketing for a bar in San Antonio called Drink. He looked into creating a Google+ page for the bar, but decided against it, since he’s not certain that the social network will pan out. “Google keeps starting and shutting down products — Buzz, Wave and Hotpot, to name a few — and I’m not entirely convinced the same thing won’t happen with Plus,” he says. “Given the time and cost of engaging followers, I think the effort is better spent on Facebook.”

5. Growth Is Small: Tara Parks, senior marketing administrator at Convergence Networks says that she sees potential in Google+, but that growth has been small for her company. “The biggest drawback to Google+ so far is that it’s hard to grow a fan base, since businesses can only add other businesses to their Circles, and not individuals, the way you can on Twitter (until they add you, that is),” she says. “It will definitely be a lot more fun once more people start using Google+.”

When we wrote about what 2012 may hold for the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, we mentioned the idea that Jeff Bezos and co. may eventually pull together the site’s myriad digital services and leverage its growing Kindleplatform into some kind of social network. Now it appears the company may be doing just that.

Geekwire reports that Amazon has effectively hired the entire team at Quorus. Amazon previously hired Quorus co-founder Logan Bowers, and now it appears he’s taking his team with him.

Quorus’ former vice president of business development, Matt Scoble, confirmed to Mashable that the company’s other co-founder, Michael Dougherty, now works for Amazon. The report says Amazon also snapped up Quorus employees Sam Rayachoti and Peter Abramson. Quorus.com now shows a placeholder site and the company’s official Twitter feed hasn’t been active since July.

Hold your horses before you think Amazon’s grab at social-software talent means the company is prepping to take on Facebook. Quorus makes software that lets shoppers essentially bounce purchases off friends before committing to a buy. It’s not quite the next Google+, but it could give Amazon an edge over other online retailers.

Quorus software works like this. Say you’re buying a sweater for your dad, but you can’t decide between two different patterns. Right from the product page, Quorus lets you call up a window to contact your mom, siblings and friends to help you out. The connection can be done by email, Facebook, Twitter or even text message.

Once you’ve reached out to your impromptu jury, Quorus can facilitate both a live chat and offline discussion. Not everyone will be able to stop what they’re doing to help you hunt down the perfect wool cardigan, so the software saves those messages for you (and yours) to read later. The whole exchange is hosted by Quorus — it’s not dependent on the social networks it uses to communicate.

That’s probably why the service looks attractive to Amazon. While Amazon has an interest in playing nice with the likes of Facebook, there’s no way Amazon will trust its destiny with a third party. Rather then create a social shopping experience from the ground up, Amazon simply gobbled up Quorus.

The next logical step is for Amazon to deploy Quorus’ collaborative shopping system on its product pages. The question now is whether it will appear universally throughout the site or if it will be something lumped in with the premium services of Amazon Prime. By going site-wide, Amazon will have even more of an edge over other retailers. However, the company needs to convert more customers into Prime members to help push its platform and right now there just aren’t a lot of good reasons for Amazon users to opt for the service.

What do you think about the Quorus experience, and does it work for Amazon? Would you use it if it was available? And more important, would you pay for it? Let us know in the comments.

9. Bioshock
I have gushed about Bioshock before, and with good reason. Bioshock’s gameplay may not be perfect, but what it lacks is more than made up for in the story, atmosphere, and characters. To this day, Bioshock’s plot twist is something that I refuse to spoil for anyone and it holds the distinction of being one of the games I simply could not put down.

8. Metroid Prime Trilogy
I know that put the “trilogy” on this list is a kinda cheating, but I felt that I had to put one of the Prime games on the list, so why not make it the best package. My purchase of Metroid Prime was done as “why not” purchase. The game was $4.99 and I had run out of games to play. I wasn’t playing FPSs and I wasn’t too familiar with Metroid. By the time I was done, I found myself wanting to play more FPSs and being disappointed with many that I would pick up and play later.  As good as the original Gamecube titles were, I highly recommend you pick up the full proper experience and grab the Trilogy. The point and shot controls are near perfect and you get all three fantastic games.

7. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Uncharted 2 is the newest game on my list, but its no less deserving than any other. By blending cinema quality cut scenes with an extremely solid single player campaign, Uncharted creates an experience that is more like an interactive movie than a video game. Its big in scale, with action set pieces that Indiana Jones, John McClane and Jason Bourne would kill for. So far its one of the only games that has proven that the PS3 has significantly more horsepower than its competitors.

6. Super Mario Galaxy
As almost a joke, the idea of Super Mario Galaxy, seemed ludicrous. It was almost like Miyamoto said, “we’re out of ideas, let’s send his ass to space.” What came of this decision is the most engaging Mario adventure since Super Mario 64. Adding almost a 4th dimension to the adventure, Galaxy’s puzzles and gameplay mechanics are truly revolutionary and left me blown away.

5. Shadow of the Colossus
Team Ico’s second outing on the PS2, was one of the most interesting games ever released and truly a marvel for its time period.  Released towards the end of the PS2′s hey day Shadow, threw all gaming conventions out the window and gave players exactly what they wanted, Boss Fights. As simply a series of elaborately well orchestrated puzzle-like boss fights your character, Wander, must find the weakness of each colossus in the game and exploit it to defeat it. This combined with a brilliant art style and hauntingly vague story makes Shadow an absolute must-play on the PS2.

4. The Orange Box
Again, I’m kind of cheating by putting The Orange Box in this list, but its inclusion is more of a symbol for the roll that Value has had in gaming since the turn of the century. With the release nearly half a dozen critically acclaimed and eqaully fantatic games (many of which are included in The Orange Box) Valve has cemented themselves as one of the few publishers that can find success on the PC, and with the advent of Steam, Valve has revolutionize digital distribution and helped numerous smaller developers become overnight hits. Oh, and on top of that, The Orange Box is hands down the Best Deal in Gaming History.

3. Super Smash Bros. Melee
Two Smash Bros games were released in the past ten years, but only one kept my attention for a solid five of those, and that would be Melee. Melee is easily one of the most balanced fighting games to ever be released and its equally as exciting as it is pure fan service. Even if you are not that good at it, buying SSBM is still a good idea for all Nintendo-philes.

2. Lumines 2
Not since Dr. Mario, and Tetris has a pure puzzle game been so effective at destroying my time. Lumines 2 improved on much of the problems that Lumines had and took the puzzle genre on a much needed acid trip. Its deceptively simple gameplay, mixed with music and atmosphere creates an experience that even after sinking 60+ hours into it I regret not having played more. To this day Lumines 2 is the only PSP game I take on every single road trip.

1. Rock Band 2
What can I say about Harmonix and Rock Band 2 that I haven’t already said. As the creators of Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution, Harmonix had already established themselves as the leading rhythm game developer, but Rock Band and its infinitely improved sequel combined everything they have learned and brought the genre to levels not previously seen. So much so, that even with RB2 being over a year old, their competitors, with 6 games released since RB2, haven’t even come close to eclipsing the sheer quality of the Rock Band product.

I know that the last one there was pretty predictable, but again, this is my list. I encourage anyone else to share their 10 below and lets start a new decade with some strong titles. Tony Hawk Ride, we’ll try to forget about you…okay.

Outerwear retailer Moosejaw released an augmented reality app last month that lets users “see through” the clothing in its winter catalog, showing male and female models in their underwear (see above).

Some of you called it “sleazy.” Others called it “creative.” Either way, it got your attention, racking up 1 million impressions on Twitter, 160,000 video views and 75,000 downloads in five weeks, according to data from Marxent Labs, the company that developed the app. Not bad for a catalog with a typical distribution of 120,000.

The app also drove sales, up 37% from the same period in November last year. Catalog response rates — that is, the percentage of catalog subscribers who purchased something from Moosejaw’s website in the weeks following the catalog’s release — were up by a full third to 4%.

We weren’t surprised that the app got so much attention. Similar augmented reality initiatives, such as those from Esquire and Starbucks, have built buzz on this scale before. We’ve never seen such a strong correlation to sales, however. We were particularly impressed given that the app seemed to distract users from the products themselves.

Gary Wohlfeill, Moosejaw’s creative director, wasn’t as surprised by the sales results. People spent more time with the catalog, and sales were a natural result, he suggested in a phone interview.

He added that the app was less about driving brand awareness and sales than delighting Moosejaw’s existing subscriber base. “The story here isn’t the short-term ROI,” he contends. “Our marketing strategy is about long-term, loyalty-based brand building. This [app] is just a small part of what we’re trying to achieve.”
