1). It's Tax Time! Filing Online Is Fast and Easy
The Internet has changed the way Americans do everything. We shop online, study online, make travel arrangements online and now we even file our tax returns online.
In fact, of the 2003 taxpayers with personal computers at home, more than 14 million of them prepared their own tax returns and filed them online. That represented an 11 percent increase over the previous filing season.
2). For Tax-Time Cost Savings, Do Your Taxes Online
Among the things Americans dread the most, filing their own income-tax returns probably ranks near the top.
But as a result of modern technology and greater Internet access, the task has become less cumbersome. Certainly it helps that 99 percent of all the forms are now available electronically, which means taxpayers don't have to trek to the local library or post office to pick up the latest tax schedule.
3). Tech Buzzwords 101
With technology moving at such a quick pace, it has become harder to keep up with the lingo that lingers in cyberspace.
A new survey conducted for Windows Live by Harris Interactive shows that only 43 percent of adults in the U.S. feel they are knowledgeable about the latest tech buzzwords.
For example, one in three U.S. adults do not know what "VoIP" is.
4). Show Caesar How Rome Was Built With a New PC Game
Your moment of glory has come! Take the role of legendary generals like Julius Caesar, or compete against them to further conquer their enemies. Dominate and reign over one of the most powerful empires in history in a new action-packed PC game, "Rome: Total War."
This award-winning game by The Creative Assembly will make players feel like they're right in the heart of the Roman Empire with full 3-D gaming technology.
5). Overdue Taxes? Act Quickly To Avoid Financial Woes
When your taxes are overdue, the Internal Revenue Service knows just how to make you pay up.
Each year, the IRS processes more than 200 million tax returns and collects over $2 trillion. Yet the agency is still owed billions of dollars in overdue taxes. As the major revenue collection agency of the federal government, however, there isn't much the IRS can't do to collect what is owed.
6). Site Lends More Realism to Online Dating Scene
The dating scene can be difficult to navigate, whether it's live or online.
The random act of meeting and falling in love is being slowly replaced by Web sites that utilize carefully crafted and categorized screening processes. Yet our innate ability to identify potential mates could be weakening as we settle for pictures and profiles that may not even be real.
