Billion-dollar acquisitions of Web companies were not uncommon. This article lists billion-dollar Web acquisitions that never delivered on their promise.

]]> CD Duplication vs CD Replication http://www.cdmastercopy.ca CD Duplication vs CD Replication CD Duplication refers to make copies or master disk by CD burning. These days most of us have CD Burner or CD-Writer on personal computers, using that we can make multiple copies of any Audio, Video or Data CD. On the other hand, CD Replication refers to pressed CDs. In CD Replication process, a stamper is made that puts the information into the molded compact disc. It like the regular ink stampers which are used to make impressions like “Q.C. Passed” or “Paid”, it’s just similar to that. Carried by a conveyor belt, the molded compact discs have a pressing arm come down on them that stamps the information into them. CD Duplication and Promoting Music Band After recording the demo to CD for your music band, you would need a CD Duplication firm that duplicates music CDs. A CD duplication firm can offer you a minimum quantity of 200-300 pieces for a reasonable price. It is a great opportunity for small music bands and lower-budget music projects. In case you have a higher budget and a bigger project, you can go for a long-run CD replication job. For CD replication the minimum quantity would be more than 500-600 pieces and the CDs are pressed instead of burned. CD/DVD Duplication for Corporate World There are different uses for CD duplication and DVD duplication in the corporate environment. It could be a presentation project that needs to be duplicated and distributed, or a report that needs to be distributed. For the smaller projects choosing the CD media would be useful as most compact discs can hold up to 80 minutes of audio or 700 MB of data. A DVD media can hold up to 4.5 GB of information where the new dual-layer DVD can hold up to 8.5 GB data. So choosing DVD for larger or multiple file duplication project will be more suitable. 2006-08-08T11:10:52Z Webmaster12 CD/DVD Duplication
