News that unemployment is on the rise casts a dark shadow on the bittersweet increase in credit card offers across the nation. As I blogged a couple of months ago, Americans recently increased their credit card debt for only the second time in 2 years. Though much of this debt may be tied to previously existing credit card accounts, no doubt the rise in credit card offers is a contributing factor.

And how is one to introduce them to the suppliers and consumers who essentially make up the market? That is where the concept of trade shows comes in. This concept was introduced so that there could be a platform whereby organizations could introduce their products to the different sections in the market, with the view of selling or gaining more clientèle. This practice runs on the same lines as that of a trade fair where different companies gather under one roof and display their products by employing varied means like live displays, distributing pamphlets or maybe playing corporate films that define their products.

A student from Duke University, Justin Manweiler, has come up with a unique device that will help extend the life of devices using wi-fi, reports IT Pro Portal. It is called the SleepWell.

The invention by Manweiler is primarily based on how the battery life of Wi-Fi enabled devices, like laptops and smartphones, heavily depends upon the number of other Wi Fi enabled devices present in the near vicinity.
