About Windows 8.1

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.

I walked Kelsey Creek park this morning with Tiny, Pompom and Nano. It is a truly beautiful morning with afternoon temperature expected to low 70s. It is October, we cannot ask for more.

今朝はいい天気、今日は午後には１０月なのに最高気温が２２℃まで上がるという予報です。

What???

I just renew one of the company cars license tab. The car is all electric Nissan LEAF. As you can see, there is a special fee called "Electric Vehicle Fee" of $100 added to the tab. So now the government want to penalize people driving EV. What a hippocratic idea is this? And on top of that there is RTA (with I have never used) tax of $85. What the hell with that?

Raspberry PI Web Server Project

9月

30日

We are staring to build a web server using Raspberry PI one board computer. For the cost of less than $40 and the cost of Compact Flash Card, we have a working computer. The question is, can we build ultra low cost web server using Raspberry PI.

If we can and it provides good enough performance, we can com up with vert low cost dedicated server hosting using Raspberry PI. This is one of the many fun project that we try at PSPINC.

http://www.raspberrypi.org

What is Raspberry PI?

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn how computers work, how to manipulate the electronic world around them, and how to program.

Reselling Microsoft Office 365

9月

30日

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.
