In the Post-Cold War World, China has become an influential and major player in global politics and geo-national projects. Al-Jazeera showed a documentary called the "The Colony" that illustrates China's relationship with Africa.
Most of the OE Technology articles involving China have been about manufacturing green technologies faster than anyone else in the world. Today's video is about globalization and war of international influence. The introduction technologies into new global markets [either for profits or development] is a subject that needs to be closely watched in order to avoid unfair Washington Consensus pillaging and international dumping.

Why You Should Invest in Apple...
1. Silicon Alley Insider predicts that the Apple stock will jump from $300 to $1000 by 2015
This estimate is based on increased 2011 iPad sales by UBS, lowered PC sales with increased 2011 tablet sales by Barclays Capital, ramped up iPad production numbers, and Apples "increasing efforts to drive greater penetration into enterprise and SMB accounts," say Deutsche Bank. [Source]
2. The iPhone moves to Verizon 4G
For Verizon's new 4G systems, launching in early 2011, the iPhone 4G will be their launch product for the new network, combining the reliability of the Verizon wireless service with the speed and dominance of Apple's iPhone. [Source]
3. Soon Apps will overtake Music on iTunes Downloads
This means that the Apple App market is growing rapidly, as the new iPad's, iPhones, and iPods all allow for app downloads. Competition with the Android market will also mean better Apple created consumer incentives to download iTunes apps. [Source]

Movies Everywhere: Aircell in Flight Movie Network
Aircell is currently a provider of wireless internet access a many major airlines. But coming later this year, Aircell will be offering streamed movies and TV shows for your computer that can be purchased and watched during flight.
Business Moves:
With Netflix on PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii later this year, this is the perfect opportunity for the movie company to step in offer in-flight movies and tv-shows. A move like this would make Netflix the absolute monopoly in online media access world wide.

Video Phone Future: Sideline Cinq USB
Image working at your desk and receiving a video conference call from a colleague that takes up no room on your computer desktop, this is the best use I can imagine for the Sideline Cinq USB monitor. The monitor has a 10.1 inch screen, 10244 x 600 lcd screen that works on both Windows and Mac.
The best part about this product is that there is only one cord, as the side monitor is powered by the usb cable. I would use this for video conferencing or security camera use, freeing up more desktop space. The Sideline is available for $249 or for $199 if you pre-order it from the Sideline website.

The Future of Newspapers
As people move away from reading printed newspapers to the internet and television news, newspapers are becoming more and more extinct. But the New York Times, whose website is already a popular news source, has turned to the computer application.
Now instead of subscribing to the New York Times newspaper and having it delivered to your home every morning, you can download the free TimesReader 2.0 application for all operating systems. This application allows you to read the newspaper every morning from your computer, creating the feel of a newspaper with the technological advances of the internet.
Though a full subscription of the TimesReader cost $3.45 a week, but the free version works perfectly and updates me on the news I want to read. Digital newspapers are the clear future of
printed ad, and the creation of the newspaper application was a smart move by the NYTimes.
The future business applications of this product are endless. Once OE Technology released its 6 mainstream technology products next year, TimesReader is almost positively going to be part of the automobile entertainment system. Imagine calling a cab, getting in the back seat and being able to flip through the digital newspaper on the OE Technology touchscreen entertainment system, all while on your way to work.

Skype: The Future of Home and Business Communication
Skype has expanded its video chatting market by placing their technology in the comforts of everyones home. Now large family's can video chat globally for free.
Skype TV's will be a cheaper business communication method than the current global video communication software and hardware offered by Cisco. The Skype enabled TV is perfect for business conference rooms.
The Skype service on a TV will work much as it does on a PC, but with some limitations. A TV program will stop playing once a Skype call is made or answered; TV processors are not yet powerful enough to allow people to chat while they watch a show, the companies say.
Panasonic, based in Japan, and LG, based in South Korea, will sell specially designed Web cameras for their Skype-enabled sets, which should cost $100 to $200. These cameras, unlike typical webcams, are customized for the technically challenging environment of the living room, where there can be a wide range of distances between the TV and viewers.
For businesses looking to use cheap video chatting technologies to accomplish business tasks should also look into using the gmail business function, which allows companies to control chats, email, and video conferencing all from an email web browser.
