The term, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) refers to companies that make products for others to repackage and sell. Resellers buy OEM products in bulk, minus the costly retail packaging that comes with individually sold units. The product itself is essentially the same as its more expensive, retail-packaged sibling. OEM products are used in many industries, but are perhaps most prevalent in electronics.

Generally, dealers of OEM products add something of value before reselling the merchandise. An OEM vendor that does this is known as a “value added reseller” (VAR). A VAR might build components, sub-systems, or systems from quality OEM parts. OEM goods allow VARs a wide range of creative marketing choices, which permits smaller dealers to be competitive in the marketplace.

OEM products can be utilized at several different levels of industry. For example, assume a fictitious company, “Head Music,” makes popular sound cards, and wants to introduce a DVD player to the marketplace. Not making DVD players themselves, they enter into a contract with Sony to supply OEM DVD players to them. Head Music receives the Sony-manufactured DVD players in bulk, affixes their own logo to the players, bundles them with their sound cards, and they are repackaged as “Head Music DVD and Sound Card.”

Taking this basic concept a step further, assume that a local Mom and Pop VAR wants to use Head Music’s DVD package in PC clone systems they are building. They contact Head Music and enter into a contract to buy the DVD/sound card combo in bulk, or OEM. They will be shipped to the VAR minus the expensive retail packaging, at a substantial savings. The VAR will install the packages in their PC clones, along with other OEM products, from motherboards to CPUs and hard drives. Even the operating system will be OEM, for example, from Microsoft. When the VAR is finished they can offer a PC clone with brand name components and software at a competitive price.

OEM software will have different product numbers than retail packages, and support may be provided by the VAR, rather than the maker of the software. Functionally, OEM and retail versions of software should be essentially the same.

OEM hardware can be purchased directly by the public at a savings of up to 30%. Hard drives are typical OEM items, purchased in an anti-static wrapper without box, cables and often without drivers or a manual. The warranty is generally the same, and drivers, manual and support are available online, when not provided with the product itself.

Some OEM products, however, do have shorter warranties. This is true of many CPUs where the retail version carries a three-year warranty, and the OEM version, one year or less. Check any OEM product you are considering for support and warranty details.

OEM goods are a great value for the consumer and are environmentally friendlier than waste-producing retail packaging. However, for those new to technology, retail packaging will supply everything you need for the product, often including a toll-free number for support. Meanwhile, over-the-counter OEM products might be better suited to those who are at least minimally computer savvy.

Bama was born in Hawaii, his father was a student from Kenya and his mother was a white Kansas. Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard University, for the first time in 1996, was elected Illinois senator in Illinois in 2004 for the first time elected as a Senator, to become the U.S. Congress in the history of the 5th session of Congress The only black senator.

In July 2004, the convening of the Democratic Party National Congress, Obama has been designated to do the next day, “the keynote speech.” The so-called “keynote speech”, this is the Democrats on the party’s program and policy statements, usually by the party’s most promising political star to make 1988 a “keynote speech” that then-Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. Obama delivered the speech he wrote and published an impassioned speech. In his speech, he proposed the elimination of differences between political parties and ethnic differences, “a U.S.” dream.

45-year-old speech highly charismatic Obama, the broad smiles on their faces even capture the hearts of many people. With the intention to run for president in the past of black people compared to their predecessors, Obama is the first in the primaries before the national poll was supported by the rising star in 2008 to become the Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, one of the candidates of the rival.
Obama in a short period of time for more than two years have been caused by a cyclone in the political arena, even the “Obama phenomenon” and used former President John F. Kennedy in 1960 taking into strong popularity to the White House in the same breath.

But there are many black people that Obama does not identify with the critics that he run for president is a bit too tender, the need for Obama to the space is still not small.

U.S. Democratic Senator blacks to participate in the next presidential election

Xinhua Washington, Jan 16 (Reporter Pan pro Yang Qingchuan) of the United States Congressional Black Democratic Senator Barack Obama 16, announced his intention to participate in the 2008 presidential election. He was on the same day the U.S. Federal Electoral Institute has submitted the relevant documents, and set up a committee to assess the feasibility of the presidency.

Obama 16 on its Web site issued a statement saying for months that he has been considering whether to participate in the 2008 presidential election, but will not take part or not depends on the media and personal ambitions. In the past six years, the federal government’s decision to ignore the problem, as well as by the United States in a very unsafe situation, the United States into a should not have launched the “unfortunate, costly” war, and in Washington The leaders are not in a practical manner to cooperate.

Death and resurrection. That’s the scenario not just for gods but for pop stars who earn fans’ ardor with an electrifying presence and their sympathy with very public private lives of addiction and misbehavior. The stars’ talent makes them unique; their transgressions make them human. Michael Jackson, who died in June at age 50, outlived Edith Piaf and Judy Garland by three years, and Elvis by eight. (Forget Madonna – that woman is too smart to self-immolate.) Jackson’s bizarre resculpting of his features, his litigious shenanigans with his youngest admirers, his obsession with being an eternal preadolescent, a petrified Peter Pan: all these eccentricities gave him an otherworldly cast. It took death to restore his standing as one-of-a-kind entertainer – to bring him back to life. (See TIME’s full Michael Jackson coverage.)

Jackson is hot again. His old albums – now sacred relics, for which the faithful did not pay so much as tithe – sold better after his death this summer than they had in this millennium. A poll of visitors to the Fandango website showed that the No. 1 movie costume for this weekend’s Halloween revelers would be Michael Jackson. The singer, whose worldwide success was built on CDs and concerts, not movies, became his own fictional character. And like the runners-up – Wolverine from the X-Men films and the Twilight series’ Edward – Jackson is a hero from the dark side. (See this year’s top 10 Halloween costumes.)

But full redemption, not to mention true resurrection, requires a personal appearance. And on the 125th day he rose from the dead, at least on screen, with Michael Jackson’s This Is It, a docu-musical record of the star’s rehearsals for his comeback London concert series that was to begin in July. Sony, the music and movie conglomerate that has had a decades-long stake in Jackson’s economic fortunes, shrouded the project in mystery until its premiere, which was held simultaneously on Tuesday night and Wednesday in 16 cities around the globe. (Sony took over all 13 auditoriums of the Regal E-Walk Theater on New York City’s 42nd Street to show the movie to 3,200 invitees.) Many of the venues had a satellite feed from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, where director Kenny Ortega, who had also been in charge of the planned concert, greeted surviving Jackson brothers Jermaine, Marlon, Tito and Jackie. (Read a Q&A with director Kenny Ortega.)

The only pre-premiere insights to the film came from two people who had been close to Jackson. His father Joe told the British tabloid News of the World, “This movie features body doubles, no doubt about it.” (Given Joe’s wrangles with his family and with AEG, the concert’s promoters, he may not be an unimpeachable source.) Michael’s stalwart buddy Elizabeth Taylor, who attended an early screening last week, effusively tweeted that This Is It was “the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen.” And she was in The Sandpiper.

So what is This Is It? A concert film without the concert. A backstage musical that takes place almost entirely onstage. A no-warts hagiography that still gets the audience closer to the real Michael Jackson – MJ the performer, that is – than anything in the man’s avidly documented history. Wisely and decently ignoring the circumstances of his death and the circus that followed it, Ortega focuses on the re-creation of about a dozen Jackson standards for the concert. (”Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin‘,” “Black and White” and “I’ll Be There” are all here.) At times several takes of a song are edited into one performance; you know because Jackson is sporting different rehearsal clothes. The footage was shot so the star could study his work and that of his crew, thus it has the artlessness of visual stenography. The art is in what we’re privileged to watch: a perfectionist who quietly pushes himself to prove he’s still got it.

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe’en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones^.

The day is often associated with orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o’-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
