Apple debuts soaring new TV commercial for iPad Air
If the voice and the speech sound familiar, that’s because it’s Robin Williams as Professor Keating in Dead Poet’s Society.
Magnificent.
Deal of the Week | Jan. 10, 2014: Mini Car/Home Charger & Cable for iPhone/iPod for $7.99
When it comes to iPhones and iPods, they never seem to pick the most convenient time for their batteries to run out.
And if you don’t have a charger or computer nearby to plug them into, all you can do is watch helplessly as the battery life indicator drifts down past 20%, down past 10% – only to finally plunge into inky, silent darkness.
The takeaway here: You can never be too prepared. You can never have too many chargers. Especially if you can get one for both home and car for under eight bucks. Which is exactly what you can do with this week’s DOTW.
You get a 12-volt charger, suitable for car, boat, and Gulfstream. You also get the ubiquitous cube-shaped AC charger, a dead ringer for the one that came with your device. And as a bonus, you get an old-school 30-pin to USB cable, like they used to use way back in 2011. Just sub in your own cable or an adapter and you’re completely up-to-date.

Deal of the Week | Jan. 3, 2014: 10-in-1 USB Card Reader for $5.99
More and more devices are using memory cards.
Rugged outdoor HD video cameras, digital SLR cameras, gaming devices. Unfortunately, there is no real consensus on which type of card is best. As a result, we have a myriad of competing standards.
Fortunately, compatibility with nearly every flavor of memory card is within reach – and for less than six bucks.
This portable USB card reader works with Mac, Windows, and even Linux. It reads 10 major memory card formats. It plugs into the USB port of your notebook or desktop. It even has an internal compartment to stow up to nine memory cards – making it a perfect companion for amateur and pro photographers and videographers alike.
It has never been so easy and inexpensive to improve your memory (access). Find out more about this week’s DOTW by clicking on the bold blue text here.
Holiday Hours: Closing 6pm New Year’s Eve
Connecting Point will remain open until 6pm today (December 31st). This includes both sales and service departments. If you’re a business owner, that means you still have time to take advantage of the IRS‘ Section 179 deduction.
What is Section 179, anyway?
When your business buys certain types of equipment, it usually writes them off a bit at a time through depreciation. In other words, if your company spends $50,000 on a machine, it gets to write off (say) $10,000 a year for five years (these numbers are for illustrative purposes only).
Now, while it’s true that this is better than no write off at all, most business owners would prefer to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year they buy it.
That’s the purpose behind Section 179: To stimulate the American economy (and your business) to move in a positive direction. For most small businesses, the entire cost can be written off on their 2013 tax return.
So don’t miss out – talk to your financial advisor right away. If it makes sense, pick up the computer systems and peripherals your business needs to remain strong and competitive in the coming year. And Connecting Point will remain open until 6 pm on New Year’s Eve to help make that possible. We can even offer up to 18 months interest-deferred financing for qualified applicants.
For more detailed information about Section 179, visit the Section179.org website.
Deal of the Week | Dec. 27, 2013: Two Remote-Controlled Switch Sockets for $12.99
Getting up from a comfortable seat, moving to a location, and manually flicking a switch? Man, that is so 20th century.
We live in an age of remotes, of wireless magic, of click-here-and-it-gets-done-there wizardry. What if you could randomly pick a couple of lamps or appliances or tools to set up as remotely-activated devices? What if doing so was not only dead simple, but ridiculously affordable?
Think of the possibilities: Early morning, your alarm clock comes on. You slap it off, as usual – except now, because you went to Connecting Point this week, you can also slap on the coffeemaker – without getting out of bed. By the time you stagger downstairs to the kitchen, steaming hot java awaits.
Paradise. Better still, paradise for less than 13 bucks.
