Tablet Sales are Down

8月

6日

I heard the report saying tablet sales are down. They said people are moving from tablets to desktop and notebook PCs which provide better value for a dollar. I agree but there is one other factor. Smartphones are getting bigger and displaying more information than before. With that much screen, people are not needing to have tablets and smartphones together.

For instance this Windows Phone with 6" monitor can display 1920x1080 (HDTV) natively. That is amazing. Why do you need a tablet when a smartphone like this phone can display as much information as tablets.

What Makes Us Different!!!

8月

5日

I have been thinking about this question for a long time and I think I finally came to the conclusion. Of cause, we have very well designed and well build system. But it is not our system that makes us better, it is the people behind the service that makes us different.

Our standard control panel for our web and email hosting looks like this. There are lots of features, but the best part is, if you have question, you can just call us.

Corporate Arrogance

8月

4日

Do you know if your company is arrogant or lost touch with the real world?
Here are some points I found on Internet.

1. You hire and develop great people but then fail to listen to their input if it is nonconformist thinking.

2. Your company rationalizes its mistakes instead of learning from them.

3. Your company focuses almost exclusively on financial success with little regard for legacy and social impact.

4. Your company lobbies against sound regulations because they may add complexity to the way you operate.

5. Your leaders pat themselves on the back when the company succeeds financially, even though success derived from market forces rather than actual performance.

6. Your leaders believe the company can't fail.

7. Your leaders dictate more than they listen.

8. The company underestimates its competition and minimizes the success competitors achieve.

9. Access to top leadership in the company requires wading through multiple layers of bureaucracy.

10. There is a focus on amassing the trappings of success: large, well-appointed offices, chauffeured cars, private jets, and the like.

11. Your company doesn't become a partner in a merger; it takes over, losing the value of the culture and learning the other organization might have provided.

12. Your company suffers from "Not Invented Here Syndrome," believing it holds the monopoly on great ideas, so that innovations coming from the outside ("Not Invented Here") are deemed to hold little value.

DreamersI.com SPAM Filter Adjustment

8月

2日

I would like to lower SPAM threshold to 4.0 from current 5.5.
I checked many emails that come in to my mailbox and checked the SPAM scores. About 50% of them are over 4.0 but not much more. At the same time, all valid email had score of less than 1.5.

By moving to 4.0, we should be able to eliminate additional 30 to 50% of SPAM emails. We will proceed with this change on Monday August 4. If you have question or concern, please let me know.

Murphy's Law

8月

2日

If anything can go wrong, it will.

Nothing on the Internet is free from the Murphy's Law. No matter how much redundancy you create, no matter how much you spend, your site and your email will sometime go down. Nobody wants to make it go down (except maybe hackers) but it will happen.

Whatever you store on the Internet can be stolen. The best thing you can do to protect information is not to store important data on the internet. This morning, Facebook, is down. It is a publicly traded multi-billion dollar corporation. The server is down. If this can happen to Facebook, it can happen to anyone.

About Porsche 911 (996)

8月

1日

I learned three things about my Porsche 911 (996) today.

(1) There is a button where usually a bonnet release to raise and lower the rear spoiler.

(2) 1999 Porsche 911 (996) uses 10q of Mobil 1 0w40 oil and you need to constantly monitor oil level.

(3) You need to press dow clutch pedal to the floor when you start your engine or it does not clank.

I learn this from the service guy at Barrier Porsche. No charge.
