MacBook Air Pro Review Plus Top 10 Best Selling Laptops at Amazon

Apple MacBook Dominates the Top 10 List of Best Selling Laptops from Amazon


Buy a new Apple MacBook from Amazon and you will be in the best of company...Four slots out of the top ten best selling laptop computers, currently at Amazon, are from Apple, Inc...When you compare the features of each, you will have to decide which feature is more important to you...Maybe you want the largest screen available or perhaps you want the lightest laptop because you'll need to carry it during your commute on public transportation or even in your carry-on luggage, while travelling...Once you have decided which physical attributes will meet your needs, then you can decide which operating system (OS) you desire to work within...I can tell you first hand that if you choose an Apple MacBook, you do have the added bonus of being able to run Windows applications within a simulated OS...Other features which are important to consider include RAM (which helps determine how fast applications will load) and hard disk space (usually measured in gigabytes and tells how much storage space is onboard for documents, applications and all sorts of files including videos, pictures and more)...And perhaps last or first on your list will be the price...The top 10 best selling laptop computers range between $349.99 and $1709.94...So at a glance I would say that you might as well invest in a new laptop, instead of a refurbished one...It takes all the crazy mystery out of what kind of life your refurb laptop may have had prior to your second-hand ownership and why was it ditched in the first place...

The third highest sold laptop computer is the Apple MacBook Air MC965LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop...The MacBook is the go to laptop for people that tend to work with applications that require heavy computations from their laptop like graphic designers, programmers, etc...This MacBook Air has earned about 4.5 out of 5 stars from 76 reviewers at Amazon...Here's a helpful review from CNET:

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, YouTube Trailer

Watch "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" Trailer in HD

This newly released film is based on the novel written by Stephanie Meyer, Breaking Dawn, a vampires love story...The fourth novel was broken in two parts due to the complexity and length for film adaption...The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has earned over $291 million worldwide since it's opening on November 18th...This  romantic fantasy movie's second part, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is due to be released November 16, 2012...Summit Entertainment has produced the Twilight movie franchise and began with the release of Twilight in 2008, followed by The Twilight Saga: New Moon in November 2009 and then The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in June 2010...

Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn features Kristen Stewart in the role of Isabella "Bella" Swan, Robert Pattinson as Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black...Filming locations included Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Vancouver, Canada, Squamish, British Columbia and St. Thomas Island in the Caribbean...The movie is rated PG-13 and does not include the graphic gory details of the novel because it's rating would have had to have been raised to rated R and thusly preventing a large majority of the franchise's fanbase (the under 18 year olds) from freely attending the movie in theaters...

Kristen Stewart remarks about filming a particular scene in the movie, "I wanted to run down the aisle. I was literally pulling away from Billy Burke. Now it's a trip to watch the wedding scenes. It was so volatile and emotional—I was being such a crazy person." ...

Black Friday 2011 is less than a week away...

The Countdown for Major Deals and Giveaways That Holiday Shoppers and Retailers are Anxious For is On

Major retailers are starting Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving Thursday...WalMart and Toys R Us will be opening at 10 pm Thursday night...Best Buy will be will open on "Black Midnight"...The ads are out and the race is on...Which retailers have your attention???...

Well unfortunately for Target the attention they are getting is negative press...Because one of their employees, Anthony Hardwick of Nebraska, has started a petition at change.org against working Thursday night...He's determined that he'll have to go to sleep early afternoon on Thanksgiving, instead of enjoying time with friends and family, so that he will be well rested enough to perform well on his 10-hour shift that begins at 11pm...Well over 193,00 supporters have joined Anthony Hardwick...One of the supporters, Deborah Schwartz, had this to say:

"I'm so tired of turning on the news the Monday after Black Friday and having to hear about how much money the big retailers did or didn't make. As if that's the point of our year-end holidays. I'm tired of Christmas being promoted BEFORE Halloween. I'm sick and tired of these attempts to brainwash us into thinking Christmas is about how much money we spend. Every American has the right to spend Thanksgiving with their families - its a national holiday! This is employee-abuse, plain and simple, and an threat to EVERY American worker. Target, stop exploiting your employees! (Thanks, Anthony, for creating this petition.)"



And at least 418 people agree with her view as well...And similar to how the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread, so has the sentiment of retail employees and their supporters...An employee of Best Buy in Florida, Rick Melaragni, has also started a petition and has over 10,700 supporters...Protesters are asking for shoppers to boycott any retailers that are opening before 5am/6am Friday morning, for early Black Friday related deals ...What do you think???...Will capitalism rule Black Friday again this year and the years to come???...It's a crazy situation because people need to work, jobs are hard to come by, the economy is bad and industry insiders, such as the National Retail Federation, don't really expect sales to dramatically increase, even with all the Black Friday hype, in comparison to last year, anyway...

Evelyn Lauder has died...

Estée Lauder's ingenious executive and the philanthropist forever associated with breast cancer awareness passed away

Evelyn Lauder the co-creator and mastermind behind the symbol recognized worldwide for breast cancer awareness died on November 12, 2011...Ms. Lauder was a savvy well-organized businesswoman who served in various roles at Estée Lauder...She was born Evelyn Hausner, met her husband Leonard on a blind date in 1958 and they were married in 1959...After marrying Leonard
, she quit her job as a teacher and
went to work for her mother-in-law Estée Lauder, whose company of the same name was founded in 1946...

When Evelyn Lauder joined Estée Lauder, they were only marketing six products... Ms. Lauder was the creator of the Clinique brand at Estée Lauderand she developed its product line and training system...She was the first person ever to wear the white lab coat that is still worn by Clinique salespeople at cosmetic counters in department stores worldwide...

The Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center opened in 1992 after Ms. Lauder raised most of the $13.6 million dollars that was used to fund it...An additional $5 million was raised to fund clinical research there...At lunch with her friend Alexandra Penney, the editor of Self magazine, they brainstormed ideas about how to increase breast cancer awareness and hence the first annual issue of Self magazine for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was born...With breast cancer awareness as their cause, together Ms. Lauder and Ms. Penney established The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and chose the pink ribbon as its official symbol...Although Ms. Penney wanted the pink ribbons in all of Estee Lauder's New York City stores, Ms. Lauder went one step further and committed to have the pink symbol on all Estée Lauder counters countrywide...Ms. Lauder's committment to supporting breast cancer awareness and research was also evident in her creation of lipstick and blush in the shade of "Pink Ribbon" whose proceeds, $190,000, from sales went to the foundation adding up to $900,000 by the beginning of 1995...All in all in 2008, Estée Lauder Companies estimates that over $335 million was raised for breast cancer research and 80 million pink ribbons were given out...

It's just crazy how one truly committed person could touch the lives of so many women worldwide...Watch the video below to see for yourself the incredible amount of care and concern that Ms. Lauder exudes from her very essence...





In 2010, Moira Forbes interviewed Ms. Lauder and quotes her as having said,

"The most helpful piece of advice that I could give to anybody is to select a charity, or create a charity, that you really feel passionate about and if you do, don’t give up.

It’s the same as a career. Just stay with it and don’t let anything discourage you; just keep going and working for it. Before you know it’ll be a success.

I started the pink ribbon with Alexandra Penney…and for the first three of four years no one understood entirely what this was.

But I said…’If we just keep giving those ribbons away, it’s going to take off. It’s going to pick up.’ And one day I wore my pink ribbon and I got aboard a plane and the stewardess said “Oh, I know what that is! That’s…pink ribbon is the alert for doing your breast examination and having a mammography.”

The lovely Evelyn H. Lauder died in her home in New York City from complications associated with ovarian cancer...

Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris are Bond girls...

Bond is back...James Bond, that is...aka 007...After moving past looming bankruptcy woes, MGM made the announcement at a press conference held on November 3rd that the 23rd film in the James Bond branded movie collection will premiere in the UK and Ireland in October 2012, while the U.S. premiere is scheduled for November 2012...The press conference for the latest film entitled "Skyfall" was held on the 50th year anniversary for the very first Bond film, starring non-other than Sean Connery, "Dr. No"...

Agent 007 will be played by Daniel Craig for a third time, while Javier Bardem will portray the film's villian... And of course you know that, no James Bond film is complete without a smattering of "Bond girls"... Naomie Harris will be playing Eve and French actress Bérénice Marlohe will be playing Sévérine...Filming  officially began yesterday, November 7th...The venues for on location filming include Istanbul, Turkey, Argyll, Scotland, Shanghai, China and London, England...

There will be a documentary film crew following along with production of the film in commemoration of the50th anniversary...In 2002 there was a documentary about the Bond franchise based on the book "Bond girls Are  Forever: The Women of James Bond", written by former Bond girl, Maryam d'Abo...There have been a few unofficial James Bond movies, including "Never Say Never Again" featuring Kim Basinger as a Bond girl and the forever handsome Sean Connery... You will also find six video games in the James Bond branded entertainment franchise as well...

My personal favorite James Bond has always been Sean Connery...A classic classy Bond...And my most memorable Bond girl has to be Grace Jones...Maybe because her persona eludes to pure crazy...She was Bond girl to Roger Moore in "A View to a Kill", which also starred Christopher Walken...Let us know in the comments below, who your favorite actor is that portrayed agent 007, Bond...James Bond...Also tell us which is your most memorable "Bond girl"...Are you planning to head out to the movie theater to see Skyfall??? ...Come back and give us a review of the film, after you've seen it...

Have the energy for trip to the Corn Maze?...Ethanol to the rescue???

This coming weekend will be the last weekend for the Cruze Farm corn maze...Cruze Dairy Farm's corn maze has been touted as one of the best around Knoxville, TN...You can get a free sample of ice cream after your trip through the corn maze...Hay rides are available too...Sounds like a nice family outing to round out a crazy work week...

Ethanol is an alternative energy source that is derived from corn...And according to recent research excluding the rind from production of cellulosic ethanol could make production of ethanol more efficient and cheaper...E85 Ethanol is the alternative fuel currently available in select geographic locations...And with gas prices going the way they are these days, we could all use a cheaper alternative fuel for energy...

I'm not sure if the rising costs of energy has contributed to USPS's woes...But, USPS posted a $3.1 billion dollar loss for the third quarter of this year, while UPS reported a $13.2 billion gain...Perhaps in a effort to come out of the red, USPS has announced that there will be rate increases for various services and products, effective January 22, 2012...
