Veeva Systems raised nearly twice as much money as expected in a wildly successful IPO this week in which it raised $261 million and its stock jumped more than 80 percent. But it didn't get there by following the crowd.



There is still a 180-day lockup period before Emergence Capital Partners will know if its 300X return holds up on this week's IPO by Veeva Systems.



LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman this week pulled back the curtain on how he convinced Greylock Partners, where he is now an investor, to back his $10 million Series B funding round in 2004.



E-commerce fraud is high on the list of grievances for retailers — merchants lost around $3.5 billion in 2012, according to a report by CyberSource Corp., from fraudulent or misidentified transactions.

"They Changed EVERYTHING?!"
Windows 8 Is A COMPLETELY New Experience!
We Tried Looking At A Handful of Guides, DVDs, and Books...
To Put It Gently: THEY SUCKED!
SO WE MADE OUR OWN!
It's WorldStart's COMPLETE Guide To Windows 8!
It Answers All Your Questions...
...And Explains EVERY New Feature!
You'll Be A Windows 8 MASTER In No Time!
There's Never Been a Video Guide THIS Thorough Before!
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED!
Okay guys - I've got some GREAT news! We just wrapped up on the biggest project we've ever done! We put EVERYTHING we could into this, and finally... WorldStart has its very own complete guide to Windows 8! It's a full-on HD video packed to the brim with Windows 8 basics, advanced information, even some tips & tricks!
If you buy ONE thing this year - make it this DVD right here!
Windows 8 is AMAZING! It's packed with tons of features and tools that you're going to wish you had YEARS ago... there's just one catch: it's NOTHING like the Windows you've been using for years!

You use your computer for almost EVERYTHING nowadays! From banking, to shopping, and staying in touch with family... you NEED to know how to use it!
BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN MICROSOFT DECIDES TO CHANGE EVERYTHING YOU'RE USED TO?!
Windows 8 users already know that it's a COMPLETELY different experience than anything they've used before! If you've used Windows 7, Vista, XP, or earlier: almost NONE of what you know even APPLIES anymore!
THINK YOU CAN AVOID IT?
THINK AGAIN: Every new computer you buy for YEARS is going to be using Windows 8!
On top of that... older versions of Windows are getting their support completely cut off!
Whether you like it or not, Microsoft is making sure that your computer will be a Windows 8 computer.
That's why we dedicated ourselves to putting together the most thorough, complete, informative, and easy-to-understand guide to learning EVERYTHING you need to know about Windows 8!

Learning Windows 8 on your own can be a NIGHTMARE!
Trust me, even I was kinda shocked at how different it was!
Everything you're used to is either gone or changed! Start menu? Nope. The desktop you've used since the 90s? 100% different!
It's a WHOLE new ball game!
But every single lesson in this video will show you step-by-step exactly what you need to know!
We recorded HOURS and HOURS of video - then cut it down to just the important parts.
The bottom line? You're getting the most important, detailed information WITHOUT fluff or wasted time!
Here's a peek at what you'll learn with this ultimate DVD!
Upgrading to Windows 8!
What Tiles and Charms Are!
Setting Up Your Personal User Account!
Updating Apps, Windows and Anti-Virus!
Backups, Free Office Suite, and More!
Live Tiles vs Static Tiles!
Searching the Charms Bar!
Resizing And Moving Tiles!
Sharing Devices And Settings With The Charms Bar!
Accessing Desktop Mode!
Applications vs Apps!
Wi-Fi Network Setups!
E-Mail Setups!
Personalizing Windows 8!
The Microsoft Store!
Using Calendar, Finance, Weather, Video, and Skydrive Utilities!
WHEW!
That's a LOT of stuff...
But it's STILL only A FRACTION of what's explained in this DVD!
START TO FINISH - Not a Single Step Missed!
You get EVERYTHING! From the moment you upgrade/install Windows 8 to the last steps of security and backing up when you've got it all setup and understood!
This video covers every single key feature, every part of the new design, and every part of the process that YOU need to know!
There's NO comparison: WorldStart's Guide to Windows 8 is THE guide to get you on the ground running in no time!

EASY TO USE VIDEO FORMAT!
This isn't a hard to use software or a gigantic book to read: it's EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW in a concise, clear video!
You're walked through every step with narration and the Windows 8 interface shown on screen!
It's IMPOSSIBLE to use this guide and not learn Windows 8! It's just too good!
By SHOWING you the screen as each section is explained, you'll become instantly familiar with all the key components of this new operating system!
After this guide, you'll feel like you've been using Windows 8 for years!
If you don't know what a charms bar is, or what the heck it means to setup your tiles then this DVD is just what the doctor ordered!
Whether you're thinking about upgrading, already purchased a computer with Windows 8, or plan to purchase/upgrade a computer anytime in the next DECADE - you're GOING to wish you had this instructional guide!
Do NOT go into Windows 8 blind!

Moving SUCKS!
And Moving Files Between Computers Is No Different!
That'll Drive ANYONE Insane!
LapLink's PC Mover Has a Cable That Does It All For You!

It's The ONLY Cable That Transfers Software...
And NO Other Cable Is This Easy!
(Think About All The Programs You'd Have To Reinstall Manually...)
We've Got It For $90 LESS Than The Manufacturer!
With BONUS PC Sync & SafeErase Software!
A Terrible Realization...
Your PC has been STRESSING you out for years! It's slow, it crashes all the time, and it sometimes won't even turn on!
So you spend weeks finding a new one at the right price, take it home, and get it all set up...
OH NO - WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE FILES YOU'VE BUILT UP OVER THE YEARS?
You've got a LOT to transfer (even if it's not a brand new PC!)
Photos, music, videos, e-mails, favorite webpages... and especially your EXPENSIVE programs!
Regular transfer cables and software just won't get all that! And the few things they DO transfer over go so sloooooow you might as well do it yourself!
Programs in particular do NOT transfer over at all with regular cables! So you don't need a regular cable, you need...
LAPLINK PC MOVER ULTIMATE!
The most INGENIOUS program bundle EVER created for PC users!
If you are planning on getting a new PC any time in the near future - LapLink PC Mover is AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE!
If you're buying a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 on it - it's even MORE important that you have this! Here's why!
It's ALL in The Cable - And The Transfers are LIGHTNING Fast!
**Pay Attention - This is IMPORTANT!**
The secret to the BLAZIN' speed is all in the included cable... And it makes USB cables look SLOW!
It's fully compatible, AUTOMATIC, and 100% Plug & Play! Just follow the prompts, plug it in and watch in awe as your transfers are completed with UNBELIEVABLE SPEED
Seriously - What would take a standard USB cable hours - this can do in minutes! And what would take a USB cable minutes - this can do in seconds!
Results don't lie: this ethernet cable is the King of Transfers!
There's nothing to install - no drivers, no networking, nothing! Just follow the simple prompts and get ready for your TRANSFERS TO POSITIVELY FLY!
HANDS DOWN THE FASTEST TRANSFER CABLE WE'VE EVER SEEN IN ACTION!
Move EVERYTHING From Your Old PC to Your New One With EASE!
This awesome software lets you transfer everything - from your files to your software programs - onto your new computer. Most transfer cables only let you transfer over old files...but what about all of that IMPORTANT software that you've spent a FORTUNE on?
Moving files is simple - moving software is not. In fact, it used to be nearly impossible!
BUT NOT ANYMORE!
When most software is installed, you get components and pieces of the software scattered all over your hard drive .
Manually finding every part and putting it back on a new computer, placed where it should be and registered with Windows is almost impossible.
UPGRADING YOUR PC? XP to Windows 7, Windows 7 to Windows 8... WANNA KEEP ALL YOUR FILES AND SOFTWARE? READ ON!

This is the ONLY program on the planet that allows you to do an upgrade from computer-to-computer while keeping ALL of your files and software!

Why? Because for some reason, Microsoft doesn't really support FULL upgrades. You can buy it, but once you install it - you're in for a nasty surprise! You'll be told that ALL of your software is now gone, and that it'll try to relocate it. It can't. Hope you backed everything up...

That's right - if you're upgrading (especially from Windows XP)... WINDOWS WILL LEAVE ALL YOUR SOFTWARE ON YOUR OLD PC!!!


GUESS WHAT? This is the ONLY software that solves that HORRIBLE problem!
Everything will be there when you've finished, and all of your data will be where it should be! LapLink PC Mover is like a MIRACLE!
The Test Results BLEW US AWAY!
Before we get started on a test run for you, just know this: all you need to know in order to successfully run this program is....how to click your mouse!

Step 1: Install the software on both PC's
VERY EASY! Now just attach them with the INCLUDED Laplink cable. SIMPLE!
Ready to start making decisions? Go ahead! Exclude any files you don't want to keep. Wanna keep all of your data file folders? Leave the check marks in the little boxes, and they'll be kept!


Step 2: Let LapLink scan and find ALL of your old software!
When it's done, it'll give you a list with check boxes - leave checks in the ones you want to transfer over to your new PC. It's THAT EASY! Being able to select only the programs you want to transfer is AMAZING!
Oh, it even tells you when you already have the same software on your new PC (this program will not overwrite existing files, so you don't need to worry about data loss).


Step 3: Walk away and let LapLink do it's thing!
Once you've selected everything you want transferred over, your job is done! Now LapLink will AUTOMATICALLY transfer EVERYTHING you asked it to!
This obviously takes some time - especially if you're transferring large amounts of date. No big deal! The easiest solution is to let it run over night - when you get up in the morning, your new computer will be decked out and ready to go!
IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS!
NOT PLANNING ON GETTING A NEW PC TODAY? YOU STILL NEED THIS!
You won't be on that computer forever... and a deal like this doesn't come every day!
Plus, the software is upgradable to the newest version whenever you decide to make the switch! So, if you're planning on a new PC anytime in the future, grab this title now and you'll have it RIGHT when you need it!
If PC Answers Magazine says it's awesome...IT IS!
"Instead of messing around with program installation and data copying , PCmover is the ideal tool for anyone making the change to a new PC."
-PC Answers Magazine

READY TO BE BLOWN AWAY?
Hold onto your seats, we're not even DONE yet!
Everything above was PC Mover - but this is PC Mover ULTIMATE! That means you get MORE software, MORE utilities, for LESS!
PC Sync Lets Multiple Computers "Stay On The Same Page!"
If you have a PC and a laptop, or maybe even a PC and a Mac... you probably struggle to keep files updated on both! Maybe you uploaded family photos on your Mac, but you want 'em on your PC too!

Doing this a million times in a row is the definition of tedious!
All you need is PC Sync! It lets you transfer files back and forth with a simple drag-and-drop interface!
But that's only HALF of what it does!
THIS IS EVEN BETTER: It AUTOMATICALLY syncs files and folders you set it to! Make a photo folder on one PC, set it to auto-sync, and BOOM! PC Sync takes care of the rest!
This will LITERALLY cut all your file uploading and managing in half! Who could argue with that?!
My keyboard is DYIN' at this point, there's WAY too much to tell you about... like the OTHER software bonus that comes with this!
SafeErase - Because Deleting Is NOT Enough!

You may have heard it before. Just deleting a file doesn't ACTUALLY delete it! That means your tax files from last year are probably still accessible on your PC!
SafeErase takes all the worry out of deleting your files!
  • Faster deletions!
  • 6 methods for GUARANTEED removal!
  • You even get a deletion report!
This'll get everything you want it to: Internet history, old documents, entire partitions to ENTIRE HARD DRIVES!
If you're thinking of throwing out or selling your old computer... don't you DARE do it without using SafeErase first!
THE PRICE IS GONNA BLOW YOUR MIND!
If you got these individually from the manufacturer, this is what they'd have you paying: $59.95 for PC Mover. $29.95 for SafeErase. And $19.97 for PC Sync!

That's $110!!!
DON'T PAY THAT MUCH!
WE'VE GOT IT ALL IN ONE FOR $18.97!!
THAT'S A DISCOUNT OF OVER 80%!
YEAH BABY!
That's HALF of what you'd pay for a single one of these pieces of software normally! Do NOT pass this up!
You're not going to find this for less than 40 bucks anywhere... except at WorldStart!
For today only, this BRILLIANT program can be yours for just $18.97 with FREE US SHIPPING!
http://store.worldstart.com/product/8978
PS: Remember, you can get this software now, while it's still available, and not buy your new PC until next year... or how ever long you want - and this program will automatically upgrade itself to the newest version when you install it. How sweet!
