TomTom's new sat nav: perfect for your van down by the river

TomTom's new sat nav: perfect for your van down by the river

If you're prone to hitting the road in a trailer or camper, you probably know that the road isn't exactly made to accommodate to your less-than-dainty vehicle. In a bid to express its deepest sympathies (and, you know, make money), TomTom is unveiling a device made specifically for caravan owners. In addition to offering the standard TomTom Live features for keeping up to date with traffic and weather reports, the Go Live Camper and Caravan includes warnings for narrow roads, low bridges and the like, and it also highlights the nearest rest stops and other points of interest for road trippers. And because you probably trade in that motorhome for a smaller set of wheels on occasion, TomTom lets you switch to a different profile, complete with customizable specifications for size, weight and speed. The Go Live Camper and Caravan will set you back £349.99, and as the price indicates, it's currently only set up to handle roads across the pond.

Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx hitting the UK in mid-May, available for pre-order now

We were aware of Motorola's plan to send the husky member of the Droid RAZR lineup on an overseas quest next month, but aside from telling us it was heading to Europe, we hadn't heard any specifics -- at least until now. Earlier today, Moto announced the Droid RAZR Maxx will bring its long-lasting powers to the UK, with expected availability around mid-May and pre-orders commencing today. Currently, this 4.3-inch, Gingerbread handset is up for grabs from Clove and Expansys for £430.80 and £429.99, respectively, while Amazon is also planning to offer the device. If that kind of cash isn't an objection, you can hit up either of the source links below to snag one for yourself.

Justin Bieber's Baby Mama Song Joins List Of Pop Revenge Tracks

Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Pink and Justin Timberlake also have famous retribution tracks.
By Gil Kaufman

When it comes to pop star, revenge is often a dish best served ... with a beat. Justin Bieber recently told a gathering of British journalists that he's written a song
 for his upcoming Believe album about Mariah Yeater, the woman who claimed that she was carrying the teen star's baby.

We haven't heard any of the lyrics yet, but if Bieber's tune is anything like classic retribution tracks by the likes of Pink, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Michael Jackson, the other Mariah probably isn't going to be excited about the shout-out.

Some other great vengeance songs:

In the wake of her assault by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna has jumped on-and-off the revenge wagon over the past few years, always keeping things vague, but biting. In her song, "Man Down",
 and the accompanying video, a vengeful Rihanna shoots down her assailant after he sexually assaults her, singing, "What started out as a simple altercation/ Turned into a real sticky situation."

Carrie Underwood had payback on her mind too in her breakout hit, "Before He Cheats," in which she hits out at an unidentified philanderer by singing, "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive/ Carved my name into his leather seats. I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights/ Slashed a hole in all four tires." Pink was not so delicate in her hit "So What," in which she snarled, "And I don't need you/ And guess what/ I'm having more fun/ And now that we're done/ I'm gonna show you tonight." That, of course, was written before she reunited with her target, ex- and now-current husband Carey Hart.

Speaking of exes, Kid Rock was much less delicate in "Half Your Age," which is a clear slag of ex-wife pin-up Pamela Anderson, in which he informs the former "Baywatch" babe that, "I found someone new who treats me better/ She don't bitch about things we ain't got/ When I sing this tune it don't upset her/ She's half your age and twice as hot."

Justin Timberlake wasn't as explicit, but he definitely left little doubt that he was busted up over his split with Britney Spears when he wrote the scathing, "Cry Me a River," which features the classic lines, "Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn/ To cry me a river." Though you never really see her out on a date with anyone, Kelly Clarkson has more romantic drama than most pop stars, which she's chronicled in a series of scathing tunes, including "Low," "Never Again" and "Wash, Rinse, Repeat," which breaks new ground by not going after a lover, but a songwriter who did her wrong
.

The ladies don't have a lockdown on songs seeking payback, but two of the all-time greats are Carly Simon's biting "You're So Vain," which has kept listeners guessing for decades about the subject of the line, "You're so vain/ I bet you think this song is about you." The other is Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know," which strikes out bitterly at an ex (allegedly "Full House" actor Dave Coulier) with the lines, "I'm here to remind you/ Of the mess you left when you went away/ It's not fair to deny me/ Of the cross I bear that you gave to me." Taylor Swift has also made a career out of (almost) naming names, writing derisive songs about her former loves
 and then sometimes letting it slip in interviews who she was aiming at.

And then there's Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," a sparkling pop tune so catchy it almost makes you forget that he's dissing the groupies who'd hounded him for years during his time in the Jackson 5. Though he later said there wasn't a real Billie Jean, the song's refrain is a model for getting the last word with the lines, "Billie Jean is not my lover/ She's just a girl who claims that I am the one/ But the kid is not my son."

What's your favorite pop revenge song? Let us know in comments below.

Samsung's 17-inch Series 7 Chronos dances over the Ivy Bridge

Since Ivy Bridge finally trotted down the yellow brick road, there's been a growing number of tin-men waiting for their hearts. Samsung's 17-inch Series 7 Chronos, it seems, was also a member of that club. We first saw the desktop replacement back at CES, and that "next-gen" processor we reported is confirmed as a 2.3GHz i7 3615QM, while the suspected ATI GPU seems to have been switched out for an NVIDIA GeForce 650M. Memory and storage are taken care of by 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB SATA HDD respectively. For your human inputs, that 17.3-inch (1920 x 1080) non-reflective screen will fill your eyes, while JBL speakers take care of your ears. As for the computer's, there's HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports, a pair of standard USB ports and a memory card slot, not forgetting the Blu-ray drive too -- if you like things optical. If this is enough to make you put your desktop to sleep, then get ready to lay down the (to be determined) asking price once it's set free from the Witch's castle factory (at some point in the near future).

The Differences Between a Corporation and an LLC | Micro ...

by Guest on April 23, 2012

01 (226)This guest blog is brought to you courtesy of The Company Corporation.

Business owners may choose from a variety of company structures, based on their needs and preferences, and with the advent of the Limited Liability Company (LLC), the choices for small businesses are wider and better than ever before. Therefore, it is important for small business owners to consider and understand the advantages of both a corporation and an LLC when forming a new company. Selecting the right structure can help you maximize your chances for success.

So, what is a corporation? A general corporation, also known as a ?C? corporation, is the most common corporate structure. A general corporation may have an unlimited number of stockholders and it provides limited liability for directors, officers, shareholders and employees.? Also, corporations provide perpetual existence, even if the owners leave the company. There may be certain tax advantages like tax deductible expenses when forming a corporation.

Another option for business owners that has become very popular is to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC).? The LLC is not a corporation, but it offers many of the same advantages. Many small business owners and entrepreneurs prefer LLCs because they combine the limited liability protection of a corporation with the ?pass through?" taxation of a sole proprietorship or partnership.

To help make it a little easier to compare a corporation to an LLC, the chart below gives a snapshot of the advantages and disadvantages of both:

Advantages of an LLC Advantages of a Corporation
  • no limit on the number of owners
  • profit and loss are passed through to the owners? individual tax returns
  • no annual meeting or minute book requirements
  • may issue shares of stock to attract investors
  • corporate income splitting may help lower overall tax liability
Disadvantages of an LLC Disadvantages of a Corporation
  • cannot engage in corporate income splitting to lower tax liability
  • cannot issue stock
  • double taxation of corporate profits and shareholder dividends
  • must hold annual meetings and record minutes
  • S Corporations have restrictions on number of owners

Every business is unique with different needs.? The legal structure that works best for your neighbor?s business may not be the best for yours.? Take the time to understand the difference in legal structures before you incorporate your business.

Join The Company Corporation for a complimentary webinar on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to learn more about incorporating your business.
