  Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won't cost them a penny.

  Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity.This age group is often the least likely to have their own income.19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000.With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.

  Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” grow in popularity with students.“When you're at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth.“Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”

  Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don't feel they have the means to do so.Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.

  Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks.Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity.Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.

  BEIJING-Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular(手机)network compatibility(兼容)for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.

  According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China.The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible(相容的)with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple's local iPhone partner, China Unicom(Hong Kong)Ltd.

  China Unicom declined(谢绝)to comment.

  Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland.Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed(超过)the US as the world's largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.

  Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company's first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city's central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center's upscale(高档的)IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city's waterfront.Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China.She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.

  Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world.The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market.

  The new stores reflect Apple's confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers.Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost(增长)the company's third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July.China revenue(收益)surged(激增)six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.

  “This has been a substantial(重大)opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we're just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China.“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there.”
