Some folks consider it blindingly obvious that most economic behaviour is driven by status seeking, social signalling and sexual solicitation. These include most Marxists, marketers, working-class fundamentalists and divorced women. Other folks consider this an outrageously cynical view, and argue that most consumption is for individual pleasure ("utility") and family prosperity ("security"). Those folks include most capitalists, economists, upper-class fundamentalists, and soon-to-be-divorced men.</p><p><a href='http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427392.700-sex-and-shopping--its-a-guy-thing.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news'>Web Link</a></p></div><div class='sidebar-other-feature'><h4>Mindmeister</h4><p>MindMeister brings the concept of mind mapping to the web, using its facilities for real-time collaboration to allow truly global brainstorming sessions.

Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint.</p><p><a href='https://squareup.com/about'>Web Link</a></p></div> </div> <div id='content'> <h2>TenderBytes PLUS</h2><h5>Summary of tenders for the past 7 days</h5><p><strong>TenderBytes is a weekly eNewsletter covering ICT tenders across the Australian and New Zealand marketplace.

Since the inception of the World Wide Web, the University's web presence has grown exponentially and now comprises over 400 sites with well over 100,000 content items. Web content management is presently performed at QUT through a system of software tools, centralised and localised business process and corporate policy. QUT is now in a position where the adoption of a web content management system is considered to be a valuable and essential addition to this suite of tools. Among the main drivers in relation to the acquisition of a WCMS will be the ability to enable the designation of roles, responsibilities and page ownership, in regard to web content management and maintenance across the organisation and to address issues surrounding compliance and accessibility.</td></tr><tr><th valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Special Notes:</th><td valign='top'>Please check closing date with contact as varying dates have been advertised.</td></tr><tr><th valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Due Date:</th><td valign='top'>08 January 2010, 2:00:00 PM EST</td></tr><tr><th valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Documents Online:</th><td valign='top'><a href='https://secure.publicworks.qld.gov.au/etender/tender/display/tender-details.do?id=351&action=display-tender-details&returnUrl=%2Ftender%2Fsearch%2Ftender-search.do%3Faction%3Dadvanced-tender-search-open-tender%26amp%3BorderBy%3DcloseDate'>Web Link</a></td></tr><tr><th valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Contact Details:</th><td valign='top'>Vesna Atelj<br>(07) 3138 2384<br>vesna.atelj@qut.edu.au</td></tr></table><table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' class='tenderdetail'><tr><td colspan='2' valign='top'><a name=' 9' id=' 9'></a><h5>Tender 09<a href='#top'><img src='top_btn.gif' alt='Top' width='31' height='15' border='0' class='topbutton' /></a></h5><h3>Gold Coast Water SCADA Upgrade and Migration Project (Amended - New Date)</h3><h4>Gold Coast City Council (Gold Coast, QLD)</h4></td></tr><tr><th valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Description:</th><td valign='top'>Subject to the requirements of the contract the works involve upgrade and migration of the existing SCADA system.

Inland Revenue expects to grow this service over time, with all services ultimately offered via e-channels, and the majority of these available as B2B from compliant user held software products. The initial scope is limited  the trial of GST Returns and Provisional Tax with software developers in the April to June 2010 timeframe. However this is planned to grow to multiple systems offering the B2B channel in 2011. Further initiatives are expected to develop the requirements in the December  February timeframe. Conversion of existing B2B systems to the new Enterprise B2B solution is anticipated; however no dates for these have yet been set. Inland Revenue seeks to deploy a scalable, flexible B2B solution, which is cost effective to acquire and manage, and which enables IR to incrementally match the B2B costs with B2B uptake. Participants are advised that the responses to the previous Enterprise B2B RFI have enabled Inland Revenue to review its chosen architectural direction, and therefore select the two products described in Part A and Part B of this RFQ. These two products have been deemed to provide a strategic fit to IR s infrastructure. While Inland Revenue intends to select a product defined in part A or Part B of this RFQ, Inland Revenue reserves its right to not proceed further at its own discretion.
