Prepare for Cyber Monday

As Siddharth Shah noted on Search Engine Land, it’s a tricky balance. Spend too much too soon and you might suffer a lower ROI and not have money left for Cyber Monday. Spend less and you might be missing out on consumer volume, he observed. Crunching the numbers for the days surrounding Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving in the US) and Cyber Monday (the first workday after the Thanksgiving holiday) can prove quite enlightening. It turns out there’s a tempo to the spending. Holiday shoppers hold back on the week leading up to Black Friday, and then spike on Black Friday. They hit anoth…

    I’m in the process of joining the Marines right now and I’m going active duty for at least my first 4 years and I’d like to go Infantry because I want the combat arms experience for a future job in the FBI. Now I also would like to be an Intelligence specialist in the Marines for the same field in the FBI plus the top secret clearance holds a lot of weight.

    My question is can I go Active for 4 years as a rifleman then switch to reserve as an intelligence specialist or do you have to maintain the same MOS?

    I’m going reserve for at least 4 years after my active duty time so I can be secure while I’m going to school and have a fall back if things don’t work out.

    I ordered some clothes from a website called Yesstyle. I’ve ordered from there plenty of times before, and never had any issues. I’ve even had clothes come as fast as 6 days with standard. This time however, I’ve run into some problems. I found some things I liked on Black Friday and ordered them. It was shipped Dec. 3rd, and was accepted by China that same day. Now it is December 15th and I have not seen the tracking updated whatsoever. It’s still stuck at “Acceptance: China”.

    Then on Cyber Monday, Yesstyle was hosting a Cyber Monday sale and my purse had fallen apart by then. I took advantage of the sale and bought a purse to replace the purse that fell apart. The purse is now stuck at “Origin post is preparing shipment.” No update whatsoever after that.

    I know posts from China can take a while to come to the US, but I am a little concerned that my tracking numbers have not been updated at all and am wondering if my posts are stuck in China, were seized, or I got unlucky and got a worker who misplaced my package or failed to scan it in.

    What should I do? Is there are number I can call to inquire what is going on with my posts or should I wait a little longer?

    My tracking numbers are LN168454886CN and LN176770275CN

    I’m going to build myself a fast i7 system to do 1080p HD video editing with, just casually, not for a living or anything, just gonna put videos up on YouTube is all.

    I’ve never bought a SSD before so I need to know which of the brands out there are considered the most reliable. I want for my system to last me for as many years as possible, like ten years maybe. I know, I can’t expect an SSD to last that long but I want to go with one that’s known to last for many, many years. I really can’t afford the top of the line but I wont buy anything cheap quality either, somewhere in the middle would be good. I’m looking for something around the 120GB’s size.

    Also, what types of things do I need to be looking for when shopping for a SSD? I learned recently that read/write speed is important but what is considered normal and what is fast? I’m thinking the read/write speed wont matter all too much since any SSD versus a regular SATA drive is going to be considerably faster anyway.

    Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be making my purchases on black friday and/or cyber monday (from Tiger Direct most likely) so I’ll need to be prepared with knowing what to buy.

    Thanks!
    P.S. Please elaborate as to why you think your choice is the best. Like tell me how long you’ve had yours for, if you use it for gaming, etc. Just telling me a brand name isn’t telling me much, I’d like to know why you think that. Thanks again.
    Also, I forgot to mention that I will also be putting a 1TB SATA drive in my system as well (for storage) so the SSD will be the one Windows boots up on and I work with my videos on.
