ARMONK, N.Y. — IBM Corp. plans to increase its donations of technology to schools and nonprofit groups by nearly one-third over the next three years.
The increase - to $175 million per year from $135 million per year currently - represents a small fraction of IBM's overall revenue. But the company says its "Trailblazer" grants are vital for small organizations that otherwise might not be able to afford its products.
The key to a winning Internet appeal is pretty simple—it has to grab the reader or viewer quickly.
The Web is what Jakob Nielsen, a prominent Web design experts, calls a "lean-forward" medium.
People lean forward when content hooks them. They do not relax. And if you fail to grab them with your video or words, they'll move on to something else.
That is why the most popular videos on YouTube are short and why Twitter succeeds despite its 140-character limit.
Apple's new iPad changes that dynamic.
