Electrified Jacket
Does this also protect from being hit by a taser?
Claimed to run on a 9 volt battery.
# ADVANCED TASER M26 (Law Enforcement) - 26 watts; 0.50 joules per pulse; and 3.6mA average current
# ADVANCED TASER M18L/M18 (Civilian) - 18 watts; 0.50 joules per pulse; and 2.7mA average current
# TASER X26 (Law Enforcement) - 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current
# TASER X26C (Civilian) - 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current
# TASER C2 (Civilian)- 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current
Note: the TASER X26 and C2 systems disperse lower current. The advancements made in technology since the ADVANCED TASER M18/M26 debuted in 1999 have improved substantially. Each new generation TASER device has increased the efficiency of using smaller sources of battery power. For example, the ADVANCED TASER M18/M26 requires eight double AA batteries, while the TASER X26, X26C, and C2 only require two lithium 123 batteries.
Would a metal weave in a vest short-circuit or diffuse the electric pulse?

Where I've Been has 1M+ users.
Update: We have now confirmed that this deal has not happened and is in the discussion stage only. Inside Facebook pulled the trigger on their post a little too soon.
whereivebeen.pngTripAdvisor has acquired Facebook Application “Where I’ve Been” for a reported $3 million.
Where I’ve Been allows users to share where they have been in the world from their Facebook profiles and has approximately 2.3 million users.
Inside Facebook notes that the $3 million purchase price values Where I’ve Been users at around $1.30 each.
Facebook Application Development Services
About six weeks ago, one of our TechStars teams this summer called J-Squared Media launched the Sticky Notes Facebook app. Sticky Notes took off like a rocket and has just crossed the one million user mark today. This has made J-Squared Media immediately profitable - they’ve signed interesting ad deals with several ad networks and it’s paying off for them quite nicely. It’s been said that a Facebook user is worth at least $0.30, and J Squared has data and impressive early revenues showing this is actually quite conservative.
Make other apps that will be updated frequently or daily:
+ where i am - xy readings from phones to leave crubms on users maps. allows users to alert when they will intersect other users. already done.

PowerRecon Features and Requirements
Standard Features
Remote Data Collection
PowerRecon remotely collects inventory and performance data with no need to physically touch data center servers. PowerRecon's run-once inventory collector gathers comprehensive server inventory data while performance data is collected agentlessly via standard OS instrumentation capabilities.
Rich Data Modeling
Make better consolidation choices based on sophisticated analysis of resources, workloads and utilization trends. Tight integration with VMware VirtualCenter provides greater visibility into your virtual infrastructure, improving data center management and operations.
Custom Report Creation
and Delivery
Define resource and workload parameters and generate custom visual reports to accelerate data center assessments and server consolidations. Quickly identify consolidation candidates based on resource utilization trends and compare workload characteristics before and after consolidation. Scheduled report delivery via email or FTP ensures easy access to remote data and provides up-to-date information for decision making.
Flexible Data Capture and Export
PowerRecon data can be easily exported to a number of formats including HTML, PDF, Word, CSV, Excel or images for flexible report creation. Raw data can be extracted directly from the database and delivered to business intelligence applications for statistical analysis.
Enterprise-Level Scalability
Robust data collection, analysis and planning for all servers in the network puts PowerRecon in a class all its own for large-scale data center consolidation projects. Each instance of PowerRecon can monitor up to 1,500 servers to ensure scalability for the world’s largest data centers. Data can be aggregated from multiple PowerRecon data collectors for centralized data warehousing, analysis and planning or to accommodate larger enterprises.
Multiple-Data Center Support
Distribute PowerRecon to different geographical locations to remotely collect data and schedule updates to a master PowerRecon installation, enabling centralized analysis and planning for initiatives like server or data center consolidation
Flexible Chargeback Reporting
Because virtualization creates a pool of computing resources, it can be difficult to manage and monitor how virtual resources are being used and by whom. PowerRecon allows organizations to effectively allocate and share virtual resources across various business units and departmental owners. PowerRecon’s flexible chargeback reporting capabilities improve virtual infrastructure management and financial accounting by allowing organizations to calculate IT costs based on actual resource usage.
VM Growth Reporting
Run virtual machine growth reports to monitor the proliferation of virtual machines and avoid the administrative headaches associated with virtual infrastructure sprawl.
Planning Module Features
Planning
Automatically generate server consolidation and disaster recovery plans based on detailed workload analysis to ensure the optimal fit between server workloads and virtual resources. The ability to use forecasted data ensures that plans will accommodate future growth.
Workload Analysis
The PowerRecon Planning Module automatically analyzes the five critical dimensions of workload – CPU, disk, memory, network and
time – across thousands of servers simultaneously, providing plans that maximize utilization while minimizing resource contention.
Scenario Modeling
Create custom scenarios with user-defined target server specifications including server templates or existing virtual machine servers to create an optimal consolidation plan.
Power and Cooling Analysis
Compare and contrast potential power and cooling cost savings and ROI derived from different consolidation scenarios. Custom fields allow power and cooling requirements for major hardware platforms to be maintained in a central database, enabling organizations to analyze and cost-justify green computing initiatives.
Time-Based Analysis
Stagger multiple workloads evenly across virtual hosts and account for hourly peaks and valleys inherent in server utilization trends.
Workload and Utilization Forecasting
Predict future workloads and resource utilization based on historical trends to better plan for server consolidation and infrastructure growth, and enable more proactive systems management. Forecasting data on CPU, disk, memory and usage trends is presented in easy-to-read charts, reports and plans.

CreditCards.com Files For $115M IPO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austin, TX-based CreditCards.com has filed for a $115M IPO. The site allows consumers to search, compare, and apply for credit cards.

Contact Management
Prophet 4.0 Professional
Avidian's Prophet 4.0 is a well-designed, easy-to-use contact management tool that works directly in Microsoft Outlook.
Easy to use. Quick, simple contact navigation. Streamlined Outlook synchronization.
Requires Microsoft Exchange for effective sharing. Can't customize layouts. Limited data input-field customization. Minor UI issues.
Price As Tested: $199.95 Direct
By Robert P. Lipschutz
Many growing small businesses need to implement customer-relationship management (CRM) solutions but have neither the time nor the expertise required to migrate their contact lists and train users. Prophet 4.0 Professional presents an appealing solution. Where ACT! is a complex tool that provides only mediocre integration with Microsoft Outlook, Prophet easily integrates directly into Outlook 2000 and Windows XP/2002 and 2003. Furthermore, Avidian's add-in gives the omnipresent e-mail and calendaring app improved opportunity management and sales-process automation without requiring users to learn a complex new application.

CorporateTime-Off Planner
WhosOff provides an advanced calendar/team tracking feature.
No charge.
WhosOff.com makes easy work of staff holiday planning applying restrictions between staff where applicable, application followed by approval by manager and a transparent view to all those involved within the organisation online anywhere.
This idea could be expanded into a full comp-time and time-recording system. In other words, time-off planning and tracking is a feature of a time entry system.

My company ezwebcalendar.com, is based in Northern VA. We provide a web based scheduling system, generating monthly hosting revenue.Â
We also offer a downloaded version that targets the cold fusion developer market. This provides license and consulting revenue. We plan to extend this to a different platform so it can be purchased and installed on any server, (windows or unix based) without cold fusion, providing a solution for a client side intranet.  Providing the cold fusion independent version will target a larger audience and provide more consulting income.
We plan to add features to enhance the products with web 2.0 features, cover customer relations management and task/action item tracking.
If you are interested in viewing my executive summary, investor presentation, and or full business plan, please let me know.
Thanks
