Last Update on 02-09-2010 at 06:19:10from Eyewitness News Online Colorado Seeks To Collect Online Sales Taxes DENVER It's the latest in a long line of efforts to get people to pay taxes on online sales -- this time, being tried by lawmakers in Colorado. The state Senate has given preliminary approval to a measure to get some of the tax revenue from purchases made on the Internet. They want out-of-state online retailers to either start collecting the tax -- or send annual notices to their customers telling them to pay the tax themselves. The state is trying to cover a $1.5 billion budget shortfall.
LOS ANGELES Here's your song -- but first, these messages. MySpace is hoping that tactic will help it boost its bottom line while making music lovers sit still for ads. The MySpace Music site has begun toying with audio ads users must hear if they want to listen to music for free online. The 30-second ads began appearing last week when users listen to songs on artist profiles, album pages, playlists and pop-out players. They expand on a trial that began in December. Online Auction For Haiti CYBERSPACE Singer Miley Cyrus is the latest to organize an online auction for the relief effort in Haiti. The singer is donating several items to be put up for bids, including the dress she wore to the Grammys earlier this month. Fans can also bid on items donated by Whoopi Goldberg, Britney Spears and Ellen DeGeneres. The auction runs through Feb. 18 -- and all proceeds go to the American Red Cross. In Stores: Clickfree Traveler RICHMOND HILL, Canada It's a device that provides a huge amount of backup -- in a very small size. The Clickfree Traveler is a small-form backup solution that connects to your PC or Mac computer with a USB connector that swings out from one side. Once it's hooked up, it can serve as a repository for your photos, music, videos, documents and e-mail. What makes it even more useful is that it is about the size of a credit card. And it comes with automatic backup software -- so if something goes wrong, it will enable you to put that data back on your computer's drive. The device works with Windows from XP to Windows 7 as well as for any Mac with OS X 10.5 or later with an Intel processor. They come in three different sizes, ranging in price from $69 to $219. |
