How many times have you heard a song on the radio, only to miss what the name of the song is?

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Shazam is an amazing piece of software for the iPhone or iPad where you can hold your phone or tablet up to the song that’s playing. A few seconds and *shazam*, it’ll tell you the name of the song, the artist, and even give you a link to buy it. It’s a great tool to have and to pull out at any time, especially when you’re getting on in years and forgetting stuff.

I’ve used Shazam countless times. It’s not perfect–the song has to be in Shazam’s database, which has almost every popular song imaginable, but is hit-or-miss on classical music. Still, I’ve found it to be hit more than miss. It’s a great tool to have and to pull out at any time, especially when you’re getting on in years and forgetting stuff.

There’s a special edition of Shazam where 20% of the purchase price will go to fighting the scourge of AIDS as part of the (PRODUCT) RED program. In honor of World AIDS Day (which was yesterday), Shazam will be selling (Shazam) RED all this week (until the 7th) at the reduced price of $1.99. And 100% of the proceeds for this week will be going to (PRODUCT) RED.

In addition, when people add a pledge of action to the (2015)QUILT, an online effort to bring the number of babies born with AIDS to zero, they’ll receive a choice of one of the six (RED) songs by The Killers for free as a thank you. and are invited to buy the other singles or the entire (RED) Christmas EP, with proceeds going to fight AIDS.

It’s a great tool to have and to pull out at any time, especially when you’re getting on in years and forgetting stuff.

No, the coffee isn’t red. This Starbucks From Africa To Africa Red, Brown Spice and Citrus, Ground Coffee, 12 oz. bag is Starbuck’s entry into the Product (RED) line of products.

The coffee beans are from East Africa, where coffee originally came from. Brewing it yields a unique flavor of coffee that’s deliciously complex. It’s been described as delicate with subtle hints of herbs, citrus, and spice.

Starbucks has worked extensively with African coffee, and with the opening of Farmer Support Centers in Rwanda and Ethiopia, this product is produced responsibly and under fair working conditions. And proceeds of sales will go not only to help farmers in these developing areas, it’ll also provide treatment for children and adults living with HIV in Africa.

If you need to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista, you can purchase this copy of Windows Vista that also helps a great cause. Windows Vista Ultimate (PRODUCT) RED Upgrade with SP1 is Microsoft’s participation in the PRODUCT (RED) program, the initiative started by U2′s Bono and Bobby Shriver of DATA, who continue to be the spokesman and CEO, respectively.

Functionally, it’s exactly the same as you’d get with any other purchase of Windows Vista, at the same cost. In fact, it also comes with a bonus set of 6 additional wallpapers, 2 sidebar gadgets, 1 screensaver, and 1 DreamScene movie which the normal version of Vista does not come with. As with all Windows products, future upgrades within the same version are completely free and automatic through Windows updates, so you’ll know you always have the latest version.

The nice thing about this version is that a portion of proceeds go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS and help needy causes in Africa.  If you have to upgrade your version of Windows, this is certainly a nice way to do it.

PRODUCT (RED) is an initiative spearheaded by U2′s Bono to help those suffering from AIDS in Africa. We’ve already highlighted the red iPod from Apple a few weeks ago.

Dell has recently signed on to the cause. The Dell XPS One (PRODUCT) Red is a brand new, state-of-the-art computer system with an Intel Dual Core2 Duo E4500, Windows Vista, a wireless keyboard and mouse, Microsoft Office, 2 GB of SDRAM, a digital TV tuner, an 8-in-1 media reader, wireless networking, a 250 GB hard drive, a DVD reader and writer, and much more.

If you’re in the market for a brand new computer, this is the one to get. It’s got the latest technology, looks great, and comes from a great company.

And $80 of your purchase price will go to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. That’s enough to pay for 6 months of an antiretroviral treatment for someone suffering from AIDS.

This fashion season, The Gap introduced a line of stylish clothes to support (PRODUCT) RED, where half the proceeds of all sales go to helping fight AIDS and hunger in Africa.

On The Gap’s site this week, a number of these very fashionable items just had their prices slashed, as The Gap is probably trying to clear away inventory to make way for spring. What this means is these top-quality clothes can be yours for a fraction of the price people were paying for them just last week.

Hurry up and get these (as a gift for others or for yourself) before they go out of stock!

The Gap (PRODUCT) RED™ heather gray cashmere V-neck sweater you see above will keep your hands toasty warm and stylish. The luxurious sweater is only $49.99, a huge discount from its original price of $128.00.

Here are some other (PRODUCT) RED items that will let you enjoy the best of both worlds–getting some stylish and high quality clothes at discounted prices, but still knowing that your purchase will go to support a vitally important charitable cause:

It can be somewhat of a challenge to find a Valentine’s Day gift for a guy. While guys can shop for flowers, roses, jewelry, and spa baskets, ladies often have a harder time finding something to give in return.

Your search has ended. Here is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for a guy. The Apple iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition is Apple’s entry into the (PRODUCT) RED series. (RED) is an organization formed by Bono, which partners with major companies who produce red-colored products, proceeds of which go to fight AIDS and hunger in Africa.

Not only is the red color perfect for Valentine’s Day, it’s also in my opinion the nicest looking iPod out there. And you pay the same price for it that you pay for any other iPod.

This Valentine’s Day, give him a gift he’ll cherish forever. Or, get him to re-gift it back to you once your roses wilt away
