Microsoft Plans to Open Retail Stores

No time frame or number of stores planned were released in Microsoft’s press release this week, but Microsoft did say they planned to open their stores close to existing Apple stores. Ex-management staffers from WalMart and Sam’s Club will be heading up this new direction for Microsoft.

You can read more details at the Daily Tech web site:

White House Web Site: Open For Questions

The White House

No matter your party affiliation or political leanings, this site offers a major opportunity for Americans to talk with each other on a government web site. Whether or not the questions are taken seriously and read by our public servants remains to be seen, but it offers an incredibly easy method of asking, rating, and searching questions about our government and country.

I applaud the White House for attempting such an endeavor, and the site is extremely easy to navigate and interact with…two technological feats not always obtained. I will be keeping an eye on it for a few months and see what happens with it. Tonight alone, I’ve asked 2 questions and rated almost 80 others.

Let me what you think of the site when you visit it by leaving comments below.

Open For Questions.

Improved Site Searching

Clear Vision

I worked on the searching situation here at the new HelpMerick.com, and I think you will find it much more responsive to your needs. Use these tips to help find the information you need out of the nearly 2000 articles on the site:

  • Use multiple words (ex: home networking, or email attachments)
  • Always check your spelling
  • Try different forms of the word if your initial search wasn’t successful (ex: network, instead of networking, or powerpoint instead of power point)

Keep an eye on the site as I continue to add more features and easier and more accurate searching.
