iCloud is available for Mac OSX Lion

Oct

13

iCloud is now available on one of my Mac which I upgraded to LION. My laptop, however, is still SNOW LEOPARD and is not compatible with iCloud. Not cool. I would like to upgrade to LION but I know one of my application will not run on LION. What should I do?

And another thing. If I setup iCloud to sync my address book ... I will loose Google Sync. That is not cool.

VISA BLACK CARD

Oct

13

I received the invitation to VISA BLACK CARD ... Cool!
I read the contract. It cost $495 annually ... No cool!

For $495, I get concierge service ... no cash back, no points ...
Other than the status of owning carbon fiber black card, you get nothing much.
They say only 1% of people qualify ... I say only 1 out of 100 is crazy enough to pay $495. And I am not one of them.

I wish a BLACK CARD is free and only presented to 0.001% of people instead of 1%. If I qualify, that means BLACK CARD is not that much of a status. Besides, PSPINC provide Domain Name, Web and Email hosting for small companies for $250 a year. That is about the half of this credit card costs. You got to be kidding.

$84,000 and $108,000 for every hour

Cloud migration is cheap compared to IT downtime.

Hello Kenichi (Ken),

“On average, businesses lose between $84,000 and $108,000 (US) for every hour or IT system downtime.”
Assessing the Financial Impact of Downtime, IT Director, April 26, 2010

When you consider that 59% of Fortune 500 companies experience a minimum of 1.6 hours of downtime per week, the costs associated with the above figures can be staggering.

Investing in cloud services is the biggest step you can take toward mitigating those costs, maintaining business continuity and managing change in an evolving business environment. Experts agree that an investment in cloud services is a bargain compared to the alternative:

“Spending on IT will have to happen even if the economy is weak. Otherwise, many companies won’t be able to stay in business because of failing data centers.”
IDC: Boom In Global IT Spending Forecast Despite Short-Term Economic Concerns, Silicon Valley Watcher, August 3, 2010.

What is wrong with this quote that I got from the local telephone, Internet company?
"businesses lose between $84,000 and $108,000 for every hour ..."

We don't and most companies do not even make $84,000 and $108,000 for every hour. If you think fortune 500 companies are the average companies ... this company need to learn about the reality.

99% of companies that we work with has less than 10 email accounts. Ad they make a lot less than $84,000 and $108,000 an hour. They pay average of about $22 per month and they uptime is better 99.9%. If your company is making less than $84,000 and $108,000 an hour but still like to get >99.9% availability, call us.

Don't have your own domain.

Oct

11

If you run your business email using one of those free email like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo mail. Or you run you business email with the email provided by your Internet Provide like Comcast and AOL, it is like you are running business without registering to the State. You do not sound very trustworthy.

Many of you already have your domain name and operate your web site using your domain. So why don't you operate your email using your domain? This is something you really should think about. If your answer is that your FREE email has better user interface, or you have your address book with FREE email, you need to rethink if you are working with the right company for your domain name.

Did you know Applebee serves breakfast?

Oct

I went to Applebee for breakfast. Yes, Applebee. Did you know they serve breakfast on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). There were hardly anyone there. This might be a best kept secret.

For large chain of restaurant, they are not doing a good job marketing it.

I am scanning all my business cards into a computer using Fujitsu SnapScan. The scan itself takes less than a second but making sure every card is scanned correctly takes time. But you have to do it soon or later.
