Oct

People are talking about Apple Pay. That is good but it is for consumers, but there is something called "LocalRegister" from Amazon. This is for merchants. This has more relevance to business owners.

GoPro

Google Glasses

Do you know why GoPro on the helmet looks cool and Google Glasses on people look dorky? It is simple. People who wear GoPro are athletes and professionals. People who wear Googles Glasses are dorks.

It is not the equipment, its the users. And most of all, it is the marketing!!!

I received an email (sales in nature) from someone I have never heard of. I read the first two line and everything became very fuzzy. I have no idea what he is selling or even telling me.

Even thought it is a form letter, they must have taken them long tome write. But I do not have a patience to read all that…

Use the graphic to make it easier to read or more interesting. There is nothing more boring than a long text email.

Before

After

PSPINC has updated its logo.
Can you tell anything being different?

It's just a font change … I guess.
How doit it come about?

Somehow, design team used the wrong font for PSPINC stationaries and people liked it.
Do you like the change?

PSPINC のロゴに使っているフォントが変わりました。違いは小さいと思うのですが、いかがですか？

About Windows 8.1

Oct

The user interface is the tool to get to your application programs. Once you are in the application program, you want to move between the application programs as quickly and seamlessly as possible without going back to the initial screen.

Start screen "KAK Metro Screen" is great for a smartphones which as very small screen. Having the open App icons line up at the bottom is great but why can't I keep all the most used App icons at the bottom and get rid Start screen. Instead, start button should show the list of Apps available.

Well, that what we had as Windows 7. PC's are not smartphones or tablets. I still like Windows XP or Windows 2000 design better.

Reselling Microsoft Office 365

Sep

29

Many small business IT support Companies are starting to sell Microsoft Office 365 as an alternative to Microsoft Small Business Server running Microsoft Exchange. Office 365 starts at $5.00 per month per person.

How much do you make a month selling this?
Microsoft is not going to give you all the money they get. You are lucky if you get $1 a month. Are you making enough money or you are selling it because there is nothing else.

Consider becoming PSPINC's business partner. You all receive recurring income you are looking for with better reseller and customer support than Microsoft. Give us a call and let us show you what we have for you. You will be surprised.

Apple products are on sale at COSTCO

Sep

28

It has been a while since iI have seen any Apple Products at Costco. I've seen them in Costco stores in Japan but not in the US. Costco dropped Apple (or Apple stop whole selling to Costco) products when Steve Jobs was still around. It it a significant changes to Apple strategy because we have never associate the word discount with Apple products. Jobs maybe very mad.
