  • When creating and filling in forms, company managers now have the option of opting to generating a page by scanning an additional barcode. Any dynamic information fields on the form will be automatically filled with information specific to that barcode!

I Wanted a Free IPad and Got One Too!

Comments off

Whilst shopping for a new laptop I popped into the Apple store and tried out the latest iPad 2. It was very impressive, with features such as iCloud, Facetime and thousands of applications – I wanted one immediately. It was also lightweight, slimline and came with a beautiful Italian leather case. I could watch movies on the go, listen to music and access the internet all at the touch of a button. When I asked about the cost though I was told it was over £500. As a student this was totally out of the question.

When I got home I started to look on the internet to see if I could get a free ipad or at least get one for very little cost. I was surprised to find that there were sites that promised you could get a free iPad for registering with their company, completing a promotional trial offer with a partner site and then recommending friends to do the same. I did this and within weeks I had a lovely new iPad.

Online Bidding Advisable to Be Prepared for Change

Comments off

The world of online bidding is constantly changing. There was a time when people believe that the auctions on the internet will never succeed. Today, online bidding has become very common. However, the times are changing and social networking is becoming a commercial tool as well.

There may come a time when an organization may prefer setting up auctions on social networking websites instead of the standard popular online bidding websites. The important message here is that you cannot afford to relax. Just because you have a favorable reputation on a popular online bidding website does not mean you can ignore the nutrients.

As more and more individuals spend time on social networking websites, it will be important for you to boost your presence there as well. Just as organizations set up Facebook pages to enhance their proclivity, you too may be required to leverage the reputation in the online bidding website on social networking sites.

Big Advancements Since the 2 and 3G Systems

Comments off

What is 4G technology? Well, the 4G system was originally envisioned by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. They selected the distributed architecture, end-to-end Internet protocol and believed at an early stage in peer to peer networking where every mobile device would be a transceiver as well as a router for other devices in the network. This would then eliminate the spoke-and-hub weakness of the 2G and 3G cellular systems. Since the 2.5G GPRS system, cellular systems provided dual infrastructures which were packet switched nodes for data services, and circuit switched nodes for voice calls. Now with the new 4G systems, the circuit-switched infrastructure is now abandoned, and only a packet-switched network is provided. Both the 2.5G and 3G systems require both packet-switched and circuit-switched network nodes, which are two infrastructures working in parallel. This means that with the 4G technology, the traditional voice calls are replaced by IP telephony.

The Basic Design Behind the Dyson Fan

Comments off

The Dyson company was founded in Britain by James Dyson. In 1979 Dyson began experimenting with the energy behind air flowing. Dyson is known for innovative products, such as vacuums and hand dryers, the company has also introduced a fan with no blades, which they call an Air Multiplier. It looks much different than an average fan and people wonder how the Dyson fan works. Instead of circulating air using blades, in an endless cycle, the Dyson fan, or air multiplier propels air in efficient streams with none of the interference of blades and protective covers. The fan works by using turbo charged, quiet engines that suck the stagnant air into the base of the fan. The air is then forced out through the circular ring or aerofoil. Using the Coanda effect- the air that is drawn in is concentrated inside the circular ring and efficiently pushed out without the interference of blades, and protective coverings. The result is a powerful cool air stream which seems to multiply the amount of air.

The problem with so many of the ebook reader reviews available on line is the fact that they focus so strongly on the technical aspects of the reader, or readers, under review. As ebook readers are personal electronic gadgets, it’s only natural that the technical features be scrutinised. However, that’s only part of the story.

Many people will be just as interested to know how using an ebook reader compares to reading a traditional printed book – which is what most of us are used to. That will be especially true for anyone who might be thinking about getting their first ebook reader. How ebook readers and ebooks compare to “real” books will be a lot more interesting than how the Nook stacks up against the Kindle to a first time buyer.

Books are something that we are introduced to at an early age. Changing the way that we read them is quite a big step for most people.

How to Choose a Good Nonstick Utensil

Comments off

Utensils are always coated with a nonstick material specially those which has a direct contact with heat. A nonstick coating is created from PTFE or polytetrafluoroethylene. A nonstick coating surface contains PTFE combined with other elements or materials. PTFE is very soft and cannot be directly coated on any surface, if it does then it scratches off easily. So it is mandatory to mix some other materials with PTFE to enhance its qualities. The only difference in different nonstick coatings is due to the proportion of various materials combined with the PTFE. Hence, it can be easily said that not all nonstick utensils are same. While choosing a nonstick utensil, you need to slightly rub the nonstick material of the utensil. If it becomes rough or you feel little particles scratching off the material, then it means that the nonstick material is not good and it has a single layer of coating. Always choose the utensil having smooth surface.

Dropping Your Cell Phone in Water

Comments off

Like most people you probably think that a wet cell phone is a dead cell phone but the truth of the matter is that it is an easy problem to solve. You have to act quickly and remove the battery as soon as possible if the cell phone has been in the water for less than 30 seconds. After that you need to open the front and back covers if possible and wipe the water that you can see away by using a paper towel or some other absorbent. Next thing to be done is to get rid of the water that you cannot see and the best way to do that is by using a vacuum cleaner. You should hold the vacuum cleaner over the open cell phone for about twenty minutes and after that get a bag of desiccant such as rice, or desiccant packet (found with new shoes, noodle packages, backpacks, etc.). You should wrap the cell phone and the desiccant in a plastic bag and leave it for 24 hours.
