Domain Registry of Canada letters are a scam!Wednesday, 28 October 2009 12:40 | Written by Norman Di Pasquale
If you get a letter in the mail from Domain Registry of Canada, throw it away! These guys are trying to trick you into thinking they are your domain hosting company to get money from you. They probably go through a database of domain holders in Canada, then send them a letter implying that their domain will expire. They are ridiculously expensive and extremely unethical for trying to trick people with their legitimate looking communications. Shame on you guys! Category:
Canada's Federal Government offers 100% Capital Cost Allowance on Computer purchases!Tuesday, 29 September 2009 12:35 | Written by Norman Di Pasquale
Through Canada's Economic Action Plan, the federal government is helping businesses in all sectors of the economy by providing a temporary 100-percent capital cost allowance (CCA) rate on new computer hardware and systems software acquired after January 27, 2009, and before February 1, 2011. This initiative will cost an estimated $340 million in 2009-2010 and $355 million in 2010-2011. There has never been a better time to upgrade your computer systems! About the Initiative: The CCA system determines how much of the cost of a capital asset, such as a new computer, a business may deduct each year for tax purposes. The temporary 100-percent CCA rate on new computer hardware and systems software will encourage and assist businesses to increase or accelerate investment in computers. This will help boost Canada's productivity through the faster adoption of newer technology. How It Works: The regular CCA rate on computer hardware and systems software is 55 percent, subject to the half-year rule that restricts CCA deductions to one half of the CCA deductions otherwise available in the first year. The new temporary 100-percent CCA rate will allow businesses to fully deduct the cost of eligible computers in just one year because the half-year rule will not apply. New general-purpose electronic data processing equipment and systems software that are acquired by a taxpayer for use in a business in Canada are eligible. This includes ancillary data processing equipment and systems software. Category:
New Technology TV show, Get Connected on BNN!Sunday, 25 January 2009 12:22 | Written by Norman Di Pasquale
It hearkens me back to the days of Bits and Bytes, the venerable old computer show on TVO, whenever I hear of a technology TV show. BNN, (channel 57 on Rogers) has a computer technology show called Get Connected. I met one of the hosts, AJ, at a JCI networking meeting last month and he was kind enough to invite my to a Get Connected networking meeting. Solid guy and a really great technology show for business owners seeking to understand technology. Some info on the show is below:
