Snapdragon Stadium!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Snapdragon by Qualcomm for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

For approximately 11 days this holiday season starting December 18th, Qualcomm Stadium will be renamed Snapdragon Stadium! The San Diego wireless chip giant, which has held the naming rights on the Mission Valley stadium since 1997, is temporarily changing the name from Qualcomm Stadium to Snapdragon Stadium.

Snapdragon processors, made by Qualcomm are inside mobile devices made by top manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Nokia, and HTC. It’s a great line of mobile processors and now it’s a football stadium where the Chargers will play a Sunday night game against Baltimore. Also the two college bowl games: the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (Dec. 21) and the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl (Dec. 28), will be played in Snapdragon Stadium.

Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm are the digital brains inside mobile devices made

Smartphones and tablets are what the Snapdragon Processors go in and Qualcomm is trying to raise awareness of the brand. This move will bring the chip line to the attention of many people that have never thought about what processor is running their mobile device. Football fans across the country will watch as the name of the stadium is mentions several times and the explanation given of what Snapdragon is.

This is an exciting moment in tech advertising. Can Qualcomm make Snapdragon a household name and make people shop around for the components they want in their phones. I hope so.

Internet security, don’t overpay

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Norton Small Business by Symantec for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Recent surveys of the owners of small business, almost one in three (28 percent) people said technology was one of their highest business priorities, which placed it ahead of reducing labor costs. It is not too surprising that almost six out of ten small business owners (59 percent) admitted to having encountered problems with some sort of malware on their computer systems in the past three years, more than half of those (51 percent) had to pay an ‘expert’ to resolve the problem. protect your Small Business from the latest online threats

The problem with internet security experts in the phone book is that they are profiting from the malware on the internet as much as the people that put that software out there. If not for the baddies putting malware out there they would be out of a job.

You don’t need to hire computer technicians from outside to take care of the basic needs of computer security. Most of these experts will just install something like Norton 360 or Norton Internet Security 2012, both just launched in September, charge a business owner there marked up vendor price, and for the time to install it. Just get it yourself and install it before you have major loss of data and protect yourself. And don't forget the 30% discount for Small Business owners that purchase Norton products (primarily the 5U/10U products).

It is important to remember that just because you don’t use your office computers for anything but email, inventory tracking, and drafting documents, does not mean that you are safe from malware. The writers and purveyors of such stuff are interested in your money and find ever more ingenious ways to get it. You need some kind of internet security, but fly-by-night computer experts are also only interested in your money.

Norton is a large company that isn’t going anywhere. Many internet security companies are just one or two guys that just close up shop if they get too many customer complaints to continue. Norton has a vested interest in responding to the needs of there customers.

Internet safety is kinda a misnomer. You can be perfectly safe from all risk of malware if you just never turn your computer on. Res ipsa loquitur you won’t be doing this. So go over to Norton, the industry leader in malware expertise, and see what they have that can keep you and your family and your data safer on the internet.

Please leave me a comment letting me know which Norton product would most benefit you and why!
