Product, Service and Price

Nov

30

This is the sign you see at Video Only Store!
This confirms what I am saying.

What are the three things that you need to constantly look at when you are running business.

(1) Product: Do we have the best possible product?
(2) Service: Are we providing the best service to our customers?
(3) Price: Is our price same or better than the competitors?

When you provide those everything else will fall into places.

The DAW has gone over $19,000 for the first time. Is this because Wall St is feeling good about Trump or feeling good about Obama's last few months? Either way, people are buying both US stocks and US dollars.

Why does LED lights do not last 20,000 Hours?

Nov

20

LED lights should last 20,000 hours according to the package but it does not last that long as you know in many cases. Also, LED lights drop not suppose to heat up, but they do. Why?

Well, LED (Light Emitting Diode) does work in DC (Direct Current) but households are running AC (Alternate Current). That means, each LED light build must convert DC to AC. Yes, there is a little AC/DC converter inside each LED light bulb.

That is what is causing the LED lights to heat up. Also, when LED lights go out, it is often AC/DC converters are the one that burnt out not LEDs themselves.

Office Space in Kobe, Japan

Nov

17

I had a chance to look at some office spaces in Kobe, Japan. The office space I looked at goes for about 10,000yen/3.3sqm/month. 3.3sqm is called Tsubo (坪) in Japan and is 35.5832sqf.

So 100sqf = 2.81tsubo = 28,100yen = $255.45

The only unknown at this point is the initial cost. I am waiting for the real estate person I met to send me a proposal. If I can start the development office in Japan to hire software engineers and designers ... that will be golden.

Foreigners in Japan

I have never seen so many forigners in Tokyo. There were many before but I really feel 20% of all the people I saw in UENO were frorigners. The signs at the stores have Chinese and foods served at the popular spots are not Japanese. Tokyo is more metropolitan (Mix) than ever before.

Those pictures were taken at AMEYOKO in UENO.

No the blog can post image like this big without resizing.
Bloguru does not resize!!!

There are several factors that make Bloguru different from other Blog Platforms.

(1) Bloguru is an advertisement free Blog
(2) Bloguru DOES NOT ALLOW an anonymous user (We know who you are)
(3) There is no meeting old posts
(4) 2MB image size (unlimited number of images can be uploaded)
(5) One of the best Google Search Optimizations
(6) Many Bloguru theme templates
(7) Absolutely FREE

Which one do you think is the most important factor?
