SaaS Attack

I've been very busy for the past week thanks to my new work. I was introduced to a lot of new applications so I had to spend my afternoons studying them. One thing I realized is that companies rely more on SaaS (Software as a Service) now. It's definitely an advantage for me because I don't have to learn codes anymore. As much as I love manual coding, my programming skills are very limited. With the help of software like these, all I need to do is study how an application works and I can start doing my task whatever it is - migrating sites, server monitoring, cron jobs, etc.

The advantage here is companies need not pay extra costs on hardware, software, labor, security, maintenance, etc. And since you don't need a lot of people to handle a certain job, it also translates to work redundancy. And we all know what that means. In fact, I'd like to share two videos that's related to this issue. The creators were dissing Phase2, a known SaaS provider.

Nokia N810

I like!



I admit I'm a sucker for smartphones. I just find it liberating that I can check all my emails, browse the internet using wi-fi, read my favorite books, blog and upload photos using a small device. Nokia N810 is definitely on my list of great phones mainly because of the info below.

High speed internet in your hand makes sharing great moments, as they happen, much easier. With an integrated QWERTY keyboard, high resolution widescreen display and a browser powered by Mozilla, you can blog on the spot, or upload images to let your on-line networks know what youve been up to.

Being an Internet addict, I'd grab any opportunity that will let me connect to the Internet even without my laptop. I've proven so many times how useful it is especially when you get stuck inside a hotel room or restaurant with absolutely nothing to do.

I came across this cool site at whojustcalledhere.com (don't you just love that domain) that lets you look for phone numbers that called you.

Now if you need to block harassing phone calls, just add your phone number to the No Call List and your data will be removed from sources that the marketers have access to. This feature is free and will take 30 days to be fully implemented.

The big fuss

Every blog I go, someone wants to buy a laptop as a gift for themselves this Christmas. It's the new desktop. Even college students NEED to have one, either to make it convenient for them to study or just to upgrade their social status (I hope not). As for me, I only got one because my company shouldered the other half of the payment. I still feel desktops or iMacs are the way to go when it comes to graphic design.

Calling your friends around the world doesn't have to cost much. Pingo's international phone card can save you up to 90% on your international cell phone calls. This is a huge deal for me because I always call my friends on my cellphone just to catch up. Saving a huge amount of money means I can prolong our conversation without worrying about hidden fees. Which is why I tell anyone I know about Pingo's prepaid calling cards. Just by signing up, you can receive up to 5 hours of free international calls. They even have a postie discount coupon - ppp3, which is valid for $3 off.

My mom, a real estate manager, usually calls her prospects overseas and can benefit from Pingo's Cheap International Calls. Pingo can afford to offer such low rates because of their RateWatcher™. They actively monitor the lowest phone card rates out there and always looking for ways to reduce their costs. And as a reward to their consumers, not only do they save you a lot of money with their low rates, they also have referral programs to keep you earning whenever you refer a friend.

New baby

After buying second hand phones for almost 8 years, I've decided to purchase a brand new Nokia E65. It's marketing slogan is "Where Style Meet Substance" and I couldn't agree more. I love everything about it - from quick wi-fi connection, 2MP camera, nice mp3 player, streaming video / video recorder, ebook reader, quick office, email exchange and more. It's a business phone without sacrificing beauty. After successfully installing the most commonly used softwares, I asked myself if that was all there is to it. No, it doesn't stop there. I found out that there are about hundreds of things that you can install to maximize this 3rd edition S60 series phone. I will not enumerate the stuff that I downloaded but let's just say that it's more than enough to help me manage my day-to-day activities.

New Classroom Tables

Ever heard of adjustable classroom tables? It's an innovative product created by Versa Products, Inc., a Los Angeles based manufacturer and retailer of classroom and office furniture. They came up with these amazing computer carts due to the increase in class sizes on both primary and secondary schools. Their main goal is to minimize overcrowding while still allowing each student to have their own personal space. The size of the table was scaled to 24” wide x 72” in length then implemented an LCD monitor arm allowing the monitor to be mounted someplace other than the desktop. The table design however doesn't leave enough floor space for the kids' books and bags so they added shelves under the desk for storage. More and more schools and computer labs are now using these slim tables that Versa have decided to expand their classroom table line.
