“Kauppalehden mukaan myös muun muassa Marimekko, Halonen, Tokmanni, Top-Sport, Vaatehuone ja Aleksi 13 käyttivät samaa kassajärjestelmää. Tiistaina kuitenkin selvisi, että vain Arokarhulla oli ollut ongelmia Solteqin kassajärjestelmän kanssa, koska järjestelmä ei sopinut yhteen Arokarhun jo aiemmin hankkiman viivakoodijärjestelmän kanssa.”

Teens gain valuable social skills online
“Instead of steering them away from their computers, parents should recognise that teenagers sharpen important social skills online, say psychologists and anthropologists studying internet behaviour.
They stress that many of the traditional teenage hangouts, such as convenience stores and parks, have banned these youngsters or become viewed as unsafe. […]
In the online communities they form, teens choose empathetic leaders rather than ones that bombard them with advice, says Justine Cassell, also of Northwestern University.”

Jens of Sweden's Nano-Killer
“[Jens of Sweden’s MP-500] is slightly shorter and thicker than the [iPod] Nano, as well as a hair heavier. It’s definitely pocket-friendly. […] It supports MP3, WMA, and OGG audio files, as well as MP4 video files. Jens even throws in a video transcoder for converting WMV, AVI, ASF, MPG, and MPEG files. […] Finally–and this is really the icing for me–the MP-500 works with Windows, Linux, and Mac. Sweet.”
