The Military Spouse Career Center website

To all the military wives out there (like me) who are trying to look for a job, my husband forwarded me this website that offers jobs for military wives.

Click here if you are interested. I just posted my resume on that website. It functions like careerbuilder or monster.com. It’s called the Military Spouse Career Center and the full web url is: http://www.military.com/spouse

I just got up from my 3 hour power nap and I’m ready to rock ‘n roll in my blogs again :D

**

A quick note, this website is only for US military wives.

Pricing for iPhone 3G Reflects a New Value Proposition

Last month, Apple announced that its new iPhone 3G would cost just $199 for the 8GB version and $299 for the 16GB version. AT&T confirmed that pricing Tuesday, but clarified that those prices are only for certain users — buyers of any iPhone before the iPhone 3G goes on sale July 11, new AT&T customers, or subscribers eligible for an upgrade discount.

For all others, the price is $399 for the 8GB iPhone and $499 for the 16GB iPhone 3G. In a new wrinkle, customers can buy the iPhone 3G without a service plan, but the price is steep at $599 for the 8GB iPhone 3G and $699 for the 16GB iPhone 3G.

AT&T also announced monthly service plans for the 3G iPhone, ranging from $69.99 for 450 anytime minutes to $129.99 for unlimited minutes. The plans include unlimited Web and e-mail access, but not texting. AT&T will charge $20 for unlimited text messages.

Those monthly service fees are higher than for the original iPhone. So will customers blink at those rates, even with a subsidized service plan?

Microsoft to sell Office, OneCare for $70 a year

Microsoft Corp. will begin selling its Office programs to consumers on a subscription basis starting mid-July, in a bid to reach thrifty PC buyers who would otherwise pass on productivity software.

The move may also set the stage for Microsoft to offer its consumer-oriented programs as “services” over the Web, by acclimating people now to the new pricing model such a shift could require.

The software bundle, which also includes Microsoft’s Live OneCare computer security software, will be sold at nearly 700 Circuit City stores for $70 per year.

Bryson Gordon, a group product manager for the Office group, said in an interview that the agreement with Circuit City Stores Inc. is not exclusive, and that the bundle will be available at other retailers and on PCs sold by the likes of Dell Inc. in the future.

Subscription pricing for software has become commonplace in businesses but is a relatively new concept for consumers. The Microsoft Equipt bundle — formerly code-named “Albany” — includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, plus OneCare and a handful of existing free Windows Live applications. source
