The first thing you need to do is to figure out what your options are for companies that specialize in ethernet cable installation in your area. You may find that you have few choices. With fewer choices you might find it easier to make a decision. If you discover that you have a number of companies to choose from then you will need to find a way to narrow your list down. One of the easiest ways to narrow down your search is by asking other companies if they have a recommendation.

After you have narrowed your list down you need to develop a list of questions that you will ask each of the companies you are considering hiring. Sticking with your list of questions is important, so make sure it is complete enough to get all the answers you need. If you make sure to ask each company the same series of questions then it will be easier to compare them to each other.

To get the best possible idea of what each company is all about, you should invite them for a site visit. This face to face visit will accomplish a few things. One accomplishment will be meeting a company representative. This will help you to get a feel for the company. In addition to getting a feel for the companies you can also get your bids going while they are there. It can be difficult to get an accurate bid on your ethernet cabling installation without allowing the company an onsite visit.

Deutsche Telekom’s e-book reader probably has gone the way of the Dodo, but the Germans are still getting a home-made Kindle competitor. The device, dubbed txtr, was announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair that’s happening  in Deutschland right now, and it will become available in that country as soon as December 1 (as pre-order).

The txtr is the product of a Berlin-based start-up of the same name. It features a 6-inch grayscale e-ink screen, a microSD slot (an 8GB card is included in the package, 1GB flash), an ARM11 CPU (532MHz), 64MB RAM, a micro-USB port and “ultra-long battery life” (company quote). The device is sized at 151×131×12 mm and weighs 281g.

You can download books and other documents via the USB port, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) or the txtr wireless service (EDGE/GPRS). The reader can display PDFs and books in the EPUB format. Currently, there are over 10,000 books offered in the official txtr store, with about 3,200 of them being English books. It costs $18 per month to access your documents via the web and synchronize web sites with the reader.

When compared to the Kindle, the price for the txtr can’t really be called competitive at this point: $480 is a lot of money. Another problem for txtr: The Kindle will hit German stores as early as this Monday, while the txtr will be delivered to German customers December 15.

A company representative also said a new version featuring a 9.7-inch touch screen is already being considered for next year.

The ads suggest that the new console is called the Xbox Super 360 Elite. The current Xbox 360 Elite comes with a 120GB hard drive and one wireless controller.

The rumors started last week when Amazon.com’s German store listed an Xbox 360 Elite with a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, and Forza Motorsport 3 bundled in the package. It was priced at about $400. The listing was subsequently removed from Amazon’s pages.

The very next day, a South African retailer called BT Games promoted the Xbox Super 360 Elite in an ad. It also featured a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, and a $400 price tag.

Although it’s certainly possible for one listing to accidentally slip out for a product that might not be real, it’s extremely coincidental that two listings, from two companies, about the same Xbox 360 model were discovered over two days.

I contacted Microsoft to see if it plans to release the Xbox Super 360 Elite. Rather than saying that it didn’t want to comment on rumors or speculation–a common Microsoft response–a company representative said: “Microsoft has made no such announcement.”

Microsoft contends that its Xbox 360 Elite is on par with the PlayStation 3 and the new PS3 Slim, even though Xbox lacks several PS3 features, including Blu-ray, built-in Wi-Fi, and free online gaming. When pressed for why it believes that the Xbox 360 Elite’s value proposition is high enough, the company said that it’s all about games to the gamer.

“Xbox 360 offers double the games library of PlayStation 3, and with Xbox Live, nearly 20 times the number of digital movies and TV shows,” a Microsoft representative said in an e-mail. “On top of that, we’re bringing even more to the table with instant-on 1080p HD streaming, Facebook and Twitter, and the future of games and entertainment with Project Natal.”

Microsoft also asserts that its Xbox 360 Arcade–at $199–captures a portion of the market that its competitors cannot.

“When you’re looking to find the best value in games and entertainment, price is really just one piece of the puzzle,” the rep said. “However, consumers with $200 to spend this holiday season will still only find one console within their price range: our Arcade console.”

The iKey AK-39 may just be the most intimidating keyboard ever. Well, maybe not but it does look pretty cool for a keyboard. It features green LED backlighting and can even be configured in night-vision mode.

It’s built for drops, spills, and harsh elements, too, as it’s rugged enough to meet MIL-461 military standards.

According to the product description:

“The AK-39’s small-footprint design features essential components for military and public safety applications, including an integrated Force Sensing ResistorTM (FSR) pointing device with left- and right-click functionality, and adjustable green LED backlighting that is also available in a night vision (NVIS) compatible configuration. Designed with gloved users in mind, the AK-39’s snap-on faceplate eliminates accidental key strokes and can be easily removed to clean the pad.”

If you’re thinking of buying one, prepare to pay. There’s no pricing info except for an “Add to Quote” button on the company’s site. Any time a company representative has to call you to sell you a keyboard, it’s not going to be cheap.
