Clearly Microsoft has a lot of new products that need testing, and it can’t all be done in house; they need a larger audience [...]
My brother mentioned setting my mother up with a reverse mortgage over the holiday break, so I thought I would do some research on what is was and if it was a good idea. I had heard of it before and I have a basic understanding of it, but I figured there had to be [...]
A question as old as college I suppose. Colleges need to make money too! What better way to market it than to say you’re DEFINITELY make more money by attending it. Colleges have marketing departments also; they’re businesses just like Walmart and Macys. They’re in the game to make money. [...]
