Tips to influence purchasing decisions
How to Influence Purchasing Decisions On The Web [INFOGRAPHIC]
When savvy consumers are in the market for something — a new pair of kicks, a sweet DSLR camera, hair pomade, a toaster — they turn to the web, knowing there’s a wealth of knowledge and information to be had. Butwhere on the vast Interwebs do they look? Well, that depends on what they want to buy.
According to data from M Booth and Beyond, different product categories compel people to seek information and reviews from different sources on the web. Consumers tend to go the company website for electronics, they rely on search for travel and they go to discussion forums to see what people think about different car models. Consequently, consumer electronics companies better have a pimped-out website, travel brands ought to put some dough into SEO and car companies better pay attention to what people are saying about their vehicles’ performance.

Microsoft launches a new bluetooth keyboard 5000
Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 Offers Comfort and Portability [REVIEW]
The Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 works with any Bluetooth-equipped laptop, but it really shines when used with an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Android tablet or smartphone, giving you a comfortable keyboard that’s truly portable.
So what’s this mean for you? Instead of hunting and pecking on the keyboard of that iPad or Android tablet, you can use an ergonomically designed keyboard that’s so slim and compact, you’ll be tempted to take it with you wherever you go. And, if you want to use it with a laptop, it won’t hog a USB port.
The keyboard is the same as the Microsoft Mobile Keyboard 6000 that I tested last year, but this one comes at a lower price, $49.95 instead of the $89.95 of the Mobile Keyboard 6000. Why the price difference? The 6000 includes a separate number pad, but that’s just another thing to lug around with you, and we found it to be of marginal usefulness.
Kudos to Microsoft for offering the keyboard at a lower price without that occasionally useful keypad, but shame on the company for not making it perfectly clear that this is not a new product. However, even though it’s a year old, that doesn’t make it any less useful. Just keep in mind that you’re not getting brand-new technology here.
The best part of the Mobile Keyboard 5000 and its 6000 brother is the fact that the keys are full-sized, and they press down even farther than most laptop keys. In my testing, it paired up easily and instantly with my iPad 2, and gave me typing comfort that far surpassed that of typing on a glass screen.
A downside to using this keyboard with an iOS device is the weird way its “Delete” key works, holding onto the Apple convention — you’ll need to use the “Backspace” key if you want to get rid of any text. And, to skip around between words, your PC keyboard shortcuts won’t work either — you’ll need to hold the “Alt” key as you move around between words instead of the Control-D you might be accustomed to with PCs. This won’t matter much to Mac users, but PC users might need to take a little time to get used to it.
Another downside to using this keyboard is the bane of all Bluetooth devices — they tend to drain the batteries of laptops, tablets and smartphones, which might be a consideration if you work long hours and want to type long missives on your portable gadgets.
Summing up, if you’re one who likes to place a keyboard in your lap, but don’t want the heat and weight of a laptop sitting on you all day long, this keyboard will be ideal. Beyond that, if you like Microsoft’s “comfort curve” design often find yourself needing to type on an iOS or Android device, this well-designed keyboard is worthy of your $49.95.
Veena Malik found in Mumbai hotel
Model and actress Veena Malik has not reached Pakistan, as reported earlier by the Indian media, but is still staying in a Mumbai hotel, reported Express News on Sunday.
Malik had gone missing two days ago on December 16 after returning from a film shoot in Mumbai. Her manager Pratik Mehta confirmed the news and said that all her cell phones were turned off.
Earlier on Sunday, reports emerged in the Indian media saying that Malik has secretly arrived in Pakistan after going missing from her house in Mumbai. The report said that Malik arrived in Lahore through Wagah border wearing a ‘burqa’. Indian actor Ashmit Patel, who is also Malik’s friend, had come to drop her.
Indian journalist Sameena Razzaq Shaikh told Express News that the rumours of Malik’s visa expiring were untrue. “She is in India on a triple-visa and her visa is valid till December 24,” she added.
Shaikh also said that it was clearly a publicity stunt by the actress.
The authorities at Wagah border also denied the reports of Malik arriving in Pakistan. They said that the immigration process is usually not done on Sundays, unless it is a special case.
Malik’s family in Islamabad said that they have no information about Malik’s whereabouts.
The Indian press had claimed that Malik’s visa was due to expire on December 16 and she was advised to stay into hiding till its extension and has, therefore, gone missing. However, Malik’s Spokesperson Sohail Rashid had denied the claims and said that her visa was valid for a couple of months.
Malik received vast criticism from the Pakistani community after being recently involved in a nude photoshoot for an Indian magazineFHM.
Earlier in an interview to BBC, Malik conceded to doing a ‘topless’ shoot, but not ‘nude’. She filed a suit against FHM India, claiming damages worth Rs100 million. FHM India has counter sued Malik for Rs250million over the controversial magazine cover that hit the stands in early December.

TIPS
When we talk about security, we're talking about scams, viruses, and hacks that could infect your computer or take over your Facebook account and result in a lot of annoyance for you and your friends.
Security isn't just an issue on Facebook, but all over the web, which is why it's important to be aware online, and to learn how to protect your accounts and your computer.
Here are some ways to be smart and aware on Facebook and across the Internet:
- Don’t click on links or open attachments in suspicious emails. If the email looks weird, don’t trust it, and delete it from your inbox immediately.
- Be wary of where you enter your password. Just because a page on the Internet looks like Facebook or another site you use, it doesn’t mean that it is. Check the address bar in your browser, and learn to tell the difference between a good URL and a bad one. If you ever have doubts about the legitimacy of a link, simply type the website’s URL (for example, http://www.facebook.com) into the address bar.
- Be suspicious of any email or message that contains an urgent request or asks you to update your information or provide new information.
- Be suspicious of emails or messages that contain misspellings or use bad grammar, especially if they’re from someone who is usually a good writer.
- Make sure you have an up-to-date web browser equipped with an anti-phishing blacklist.Some examples are Internet Explorer 8.0 and Firefox 3.0.10.
- Make sure you have up-to-date comprehensive security software on your computer that includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, and a firewall.
- Make sure you've set your operating system to update automatically.
- Make sure you’ve listed a security question and answer for your online accounts. This will come in handy if you ever lose access and need to prove who you are. You can do this on Facebook from the Account Settings page. You should also add a mobile phone number from this page, which will help if we ever need to send you a text message to confirm your identity.
- Don’t share your passwords with anyone. Don’t do it. Most reputable online services will never ask for your password through any form of communication.
- Use different passwords for your various online accounts. If you use the same password everywhere, and it’s stolen, you could lose access to all of your accounts at once.
- Use a complex password that can’t be easily guessed. Avoid common words, and make sure your password is at least eight characters long and includes capital and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Remember that you choose what you share and with whom you share it. Think before you post, especially if the information is sensitive or personal in nature. You can learn more about how to control your information on Facebook, including how to choose an audience for each and every post you make, in our Privacy Guide.
- Use caution when accessing or sending information over an unsecured public wireless network. Unless you can verify that a Wi-Fi network is secure, you may want to avoid transmitting sensitive information.
