Uses of T-shirting printing

To spread a message : There are so many charity events organized by NGo’s and other group of companies to spread awareness. It may not be easy to raise awareness quickly to thousands of people verbally. One of the best ways to get a message reach hundreds of eyes at one time is to have the team, staff or friends of the organization wear the same t-shirt with a message printed on it. This is the best way to communicate a message and spread it like a fire.

Phone customer service basic mistakes

There’s always a formula approach to customer service, and phone customer service is arguably the worst offender of all. Standard questions get standard replies. So far, so good. But take this logic one step further- If the customers don’t know basic things, what else don’t they know? What do they need to know?

There’s another very unhealthy side to this formula approach. If you don’t pay attention to the client’s issues, you may be providing information which is either wrong or useless. Worse, you may fail to get important information.

For example:

Customer:How long is the warranty on my product?

Customer service:12 months.

Customer:Thank you.

Innocent-looking conversation, isn’t it?

But- Why does the customer want to know about the warranty? Why didn’t the customer know that from information provided at the time of sale? Is the customer having a problem regarding the product? Sure sounds like it, doesn’t it?

Consider that if your customer has bought a product like a car repair, and the car is breaking down or having mechanical problems regularly, you could be looking at a serious situation and perhaps major legal liabilities. For the sake of a few extra words in a basic conversation like this, like “Are you having a problem? Maybe we can help.” you’ll find out a lot more.

No, people are not usually trained to think like this in customer service. They should be. The world would be a much safer and happier place if they were. There is, however, plenty you can do about your own customer service.

The no mistakes approach

The best people to ask for information are experienced people. The best people in customer service are the people that know the issues and the problems. So you can redesign your customer service to take advantage of your people’s experience and know-how.

The no mistakes approach is based on good customer communications using the new ultra-efficient, easy to manage modern telephone systems and configuring your customer service operations to get your customers to the people they need to speak to. These people, not at all coincidentally, are also the people that need to know about any problems.

For example:

• Product safety or performance problem- Marketing and legal need to know
• Service problem- Operations management needs to know
• Product price issues- Advertising needs to know
• Any business issues- Management needs to know

If you create a good customer service system with good reporting functions, you won’t make the dangerous mistakes. You’ll be on top of your business issues before they get on top of you.

 Its elliptical reflector is 36″ x 20″ – more than 50% larger than the round 20″ Dish 500. The SuperDish receives signals from three orbiting satellites, in contrast to two signals with a DISH 500. The three satellites are at 110°W, 119°W, and either 105°W or 121°W on the basis of customer requirements. The 105-degree orbital slot supplies local channels via Ku band from SES Americom’s AMC-15 satellite. The other, 121-degree orbital slot offers local channels and international packages via Ku band from EchoStar 9.

When the three satellites are in close proximity to each other, the signals they broadcast are weak. So, the satellite dish needs to be larger to catch these signals. But as the satellites are in orbits close to each other, it is possible for the dish to receive and process signals from multiple satellites. This is why the Dish Network SuperDish can capture signals from three satellites. In place of setting up a separate dish system to get hold of signals from different satellites, the same can catch all the signals.

The SuperDish is big, with a diameter of over 35 inches. This equipment captures signals from three satellites, and sends them to the receivers to amplify them. Along with that the service providers also provide you with a mast and a mount for setting up the equipment. The SuperDish has two versions: the 105 and the 121. The 105 SuperDish receives signals from satellites orbiting at latitudes 105, 110 and 119 in the Western direction. The 121 is fed signals by the 110, 119 and 121-degree West satellites.

SuperDish provides access to a range of channels of the customer’s choice. These comprise movie channels, music and sports, family viewing, kids, and some other niche programming associated to particular hobbies and interests. The Dish Network programming also facilitates participation in live programs through interactive TV. A SuperDish provides the customers access to all these programs. One can even choose for features like live broadcast freeze. Apart from this one can also opt from a range of pay per view channels, each covering special broadcasts, blockbuster movies and live coverage of music shows.

Customers are provided Dish Network SuperDish, receivers, and remotes free when they subscribe to DishTV. They do not have to pay any installation charges, and the equipment comes with a lifetime guarantee. However, when ordering the equipment, one should ensure that one gets it from an authorized dealer. This greatly saves the subscribers from the trouble of dealing with faulty or damaged equipment.

Interestingly, the article also reports on an incident that has brought Apple some additional attention, with other stores in the area complaining about new barricades for construction of the Apple retail store encroaching too far onto a public plaza.

The dispute quickly escalated just minutes after the barricades were erected yesterday, with security officers working on behalf of a neighboring business facing off with Apple-hired security guards and ultimately forcibly dismantling the barricades. A portion of the glass curtain wall on the Parkland shopping center was also smashed in the process, and police were called to the scene to address the situation.

M.I.C. gadget’s report suggests that the dispute stemmed from jealously between shopping centers over Apple’s choice of venue for its store, but our reading of the source article from We54.com [Google translation] indicates that the controversy is more about encroachment upon public spaces that other retailers fear will impact their business during the construction process.

Dailan, a city of 3.5 million people with a total of over 6 million people in the region, is located on the Liaodong Peninsula separating the Bohai Sea from Korea Bay in northeastern China. It is a major seaport, financial center, and tourist magnet for the region, drawing significant numbers of visitors from China, Japan, and Korea.

Measuring in at a depth of 18mm with the iPhone fitted inside, the Casellet basically doubles the footprint of the iPhone 4/4S, which is 9.3mm thick by itself. On the surface, this doesn’t seem like an unreasonable size increase, especially considering the Casellet is mostly constructed from lightweight plastic. However, fully loaded with cash and credit cards, it does feel substantially heavier in my hands, and could be too large for individuals with small hands to consider as a day-to-day case and wallet alternative.

The wallet component covers the back of your iPhone. There’s a hinge along the left-hand side and a rectangular button along the right—push the button and pull on the back plate of the case to access the wallet. A plastic clip is attached to the side of the case that hugs your iPhone, where you can slip a few cards and some cash. The right side of the wallet compartment is hollow, so it leaves room for items in the clip when the back of the case is closed.

Inserting your iPhone into the Casellet is a fairly simple process. The manufacturer suggests that when you put on or remove the case you should first open the back to give the Casellet some flexibility. I first fit the right side of my iPhone into the case, and then pulled the upper and bottom left corners of the case outward to push the left side of my iPhone into place with little difficulty.

Once inside the Casellet, the top and bottom edges of the iPhone are mostly exposed, leaving all ports and buttons free to use. As a result, you can charge your iPhone with the case still on, and even use some dock-cradle accessories (although definitely not all, due to the thickness of the case with the added wallet compartment). The sides of the case barely protrude above the surface of your phone, which provides a limited layer of protection when your iPhone is placed facedown on a flat surface. There is a large, deep cutout around the LED flash and rear camera, which provides more than enough light to enter the lens of the camera, and in no way adversely, affected the quality of the pictures I took.

While I like the idea of a using wallet case (especially one that you don’t have to open to use your iPhone), the Casellet is a good start, but hasn’t reached its full potential. My biggest concern was with the texture of the case. The sides are smooth and slippery, so some added traction could go a long way to prevent accidental drops, especially since I constantly handled the Casellet to retrieve and stow my cash, credit card, and driver’s license.

Reclaim Hard Drive Space

Generally, cleaning up your iPhone (or iPod Touch, or iPad) is a pretty straight-forward process where you check and tinker with your hard drive consumption. We haven’t seen a hard statistic for how much space it’s good to keep free on your iPhone, but as a general rule, it’s good to leave at least 500 MB-1GB of free space when you can. This frees up enough room for apps to store data so you don’t have to worry about crashes.

If you’re running short on data storage on your iPhone, it’s time to clean up and take a look at which apps are taking up the most space and why. On your phone, tap Settings > General > Usage. Here you’ll find a list of your apps and how much space they’re taking up.

In the screenshot on the right you can see that the Camera+ app is taking up 273 MB of storage. Why? It has its own built-in camera roll. This means the app is storing a second set of photos on top of the default photo app. Tap through each of your apps that are taking up a lot of space and you’ll likely find a few more offending apps. Twitter, for instance, is a 13.5 MB app, but somehow manages to take up 383 MB of documents and data.

The solution? For apps like cameras you can go into the app itself and delete all the extra pictures. However, for Twitter your only option is to delete and reinstall the app. Once you do, the usage will drop to around 10 MB and start climbing up again over time.

Overhaul the Settings on Your iPhone

If your iPhone is struggling with battery life the easiest fixes are available in your Settings menu. We’ve gone through a the biggest offenders on your iPhone’s battery life before and disabling the following settings can increase your battery life significantly:

Push notifications for email (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars).
Push notifications for apps (Settings > Notifications).
Location Services (Settings > Location Services).
Disable Ping (Settings > General >Restrictions > Ping).
You can enable and disable most of the above settings on a per-app basis, so if you like having one or two apps sending you notifications you can keep them, but you don’t need notifications for everything.

Overhaul Your Settings in iTunes

It’s a good idea to take a look back at your iTunes syncing settings when you’re cleaning up your phone. This is especially the case if you’ve started using alternatives to the default apps. For instance, if you’ve picked up our favorite podcast manager for iPhone, Downcast, you don’t need to continue syncing the podcasts you download in iTunes at the same time.

The same goes for calendars, email, contacts, and the rest of the default apps. Uncheck any boxes that don’t apply to you to help speed up the syncing process. For instance, if you don’t use the default calendar you have no reason to sync it every time you plug in your phone. The same goes for Safari bookmarks, contacts, and mail.

Uninstall Unnecessary Apps

A lot of iPhone users are a bit addicted to apps. We’ve gone over a few ways to clean up your app usage by creating a most used page and a second holding bin page to test new apps. If you’re the type to download and try tons of apps on a daily basis it’s probably necessary to clean up your home screen and take a close look at all the apps you didn’t end up liking. Delete them and free up hard drive space and declutter your home screen in one simple step.

Remove and Clean Your Case (If You Use One)

We’ve shown you how to clean and disinfect your gadgets before and if you’re busy optimizing the insides of your iPhone, you might as well clean up the outside too. This is especially important if you use a case because over time dust and dirt get trapped in-between the case and iPhone. The dust can end up scratching the back of your iPhone if you’re not careful. If you have a rubber case you can clean it with a solution of water and Windex.

Clean Up Your Hardware

We’ll start with the outside of your machine, since you probably have all those cleaning products out for your household cleaning anyway (right? right?). Turn it off, unplug everything, and find an open area where you can easily reach everything. Whether you have a laptop or a desktop, your main priority is probably going to be the keyboard and mouse or trackpad. Luckily, you can clean them pretty easily with just a few household objects. If they’re looking a little greasy, you can always clean them up with a Mr. Clean magic eraser, too.

You’ll also want to get inside your computer’s case and clean any dust out of the fans to keep everything running cool and quiet. We’ve shown you how to do this on a desktop before, and all you need is a little compressed air to do a pretty thorough job. Laptops, unfortunately, usually require a lot more work. You’ll have to refer to your computer’s instruction manual for more information on how to take it apart.

Tame Your Cable Clutter

As you head back to your desk to replace your newly-cleaned computer, take some time to organize your cables first. We’ve shared a number of ways to do this, from simple cable shortening techniques to full workspace solutions. I can personally vouch for both the rain gutter method and the IKEA Signum cable manager, though you can experiment with your workspace to see what works best. If you’re using a laptop, slapping a couple binder clips on your desk is just about the greatest way to save them from falling on the floor whenever you go mobile, too.

Get Up to Date

Alright, so you’ve plugged your machine back in at your pristine workspace, and now it’s time to get down to the good stuff: software. Before you do anything else, head to Windows Update and make sure all your software is up to date—drivers, service packs, security updates, and so on. Unlike our Mac guide, I don’t recommend you upgrade to Windows 7 if you aren’t already on it. With Windows 8 on its way for an October release, upgrading to Windows 7 now just seems like a waste of money. If you’re on 7, great—you’re running the best version of Windows yet—but if you’re on XP or Vista, hold off for just a few months. Even though Windows 8′s metro interface isn’t that great, it contains a number of other improvements (like speed increases) that are worth waiting for.

Uninstall Unnecessary Apps

If you’ve followed our advice about being conservative with the apps you install, you shouldn’t have too many unnecessary ones floating around—but no matter how careful you are, it’s bound to happen. Skip Windows’ built-in Add/Remove Programs dialog and use something like Revo Uninstaller for quicker, more thorough uninstallations. This is also a great time to de-crapify your printer or scanner setup, as it undoubtedly contributes a few unnecessary apps to your hard drive.

You might also want to take a look at your startup items in msconfig and uncheck options you don’t need. This’ll decrease your computer’s boot time significantly, not to mention free up a few resources. If you’re having trouble deciding what to disable, we highly recommend checking out previously mentioned Soluto, which will help guide you through the process.

Reclaim Hard Drive Space

If you’re starting to run out of space on your drive, it’s time to take a really good look at what might be causing it. That means ditching Windows’ built-in Disk Cleanup app (which is fine, but probably won’t net you a ton of space savings) and check out something like WinDirStat or Disk Space Fan. They’ll show you exactly what’s taking up so much space on your machine, organized by folder, file type, and more. Armed with that information, you can start deleting stuff you don’t need and getting some of that disk space back. For more information, check out our feature on how to analyze, clean out, and free space on your hard drive.

Do Some Maintenance and Optimize Your System

Now it’s time to really dig in and start cleaning up the cruft that can slow down your machine. If you don’t already have the fantastic CCleaner maintenance tool, download it now and run through its cleaning process. This should clean up some of those extra caches, temporary files, log files, and other things strewn about your system. While you’re at it, set it to run on a schedule so you don’t have to worry about it ever again.

Apart from that, the only maintenance you need to do (besides the other things mentioned in this post) is keep your antivirus program turned on and up to date. We recommend Microsoft Security Essentials: It’s good at killing viruses, and dead simple to use. Most users shouldn’t have to do much more than this—Windows 7 users don’t need to defragment, clean their registry, mess with Windows prefetching, or do anything else you’ve been told to do over the years. Check out our guide to Windows maintenance for more info.

Back Up Your Refreshed PC

Lastly, it’s time to back up your newly cleaned PC. Hopefully, you had a backup system in place before this whole thing, but if not, we recommend setting up a bulletproof, offsite backup system with CrashPlan. Once you set it up, you never really have to think about it again. Alternatively, you can always just back up to an external drive using the built-in Windows Backup—I personally use this to back up to my NAS—but we’d still recommend backing up your super important files to something like Dropbox, since this won’t protect you from things like fires, earthquakes, drive failures, or anything else that could destroy your backup.

Alternative: Do a Clean Install

It’s worth mentioning, since it’s such a popular option, that some people just prefer to reinstall Windows every once in a while to keep everything running smoothly. This is totally fine—I do it myself, in fact, just because I’m a bit OCD that way—but you really don’t have to. As long as you take care of your computer, it should run just as quickly, smoothly, and cleanly as a freshly minted installation.

If you do want to do a clean install, then I highly recommend checking out how to customize your Windows installation with RT Se7en Lite and create the OS of your dreams. You can remove unnecessary Windows components, add Service Pack 1 to your installer, and even automatically install all your favorite apps in one fell swoop (though you could always use something like Ninite, too).

It hasn’t been an easy route to market for Taposé, with Apple turning away the app on several occasions. Most recently the company took issue with the dual-window design the notetaking app uses. ”Apple has finally approved Taposé” the company writes. “It only took four months, three rejections, one appeal win and then reversal of said appeal, management UI review, and then one more final review for good measure to get Taposé approved.”

That approval has been granted with most of Taposé’s multitasking features still intact. The app allows for contacts to be emailed and pages to be printed – using AirPrint – without dropping out of the app to do so, while media imports can include handwritten text, PostIt-style notes, snippets of maps or diagrams, photos, audio, video and sections of other journals, in addition to contacts data and links. A “wrist guard” feature promises palm-rejection style technology to allow you to rest your hand on the iPad without it being picked up as a tap.

Meanwhile, the team behind Taposé claim that work is about to begin on v2.0 of the app, and that we should expect vast improvements from that. “If you like 1.0, then 2.0 will blow your mind” they tease, “it’s like comparing the first iPhone with the 3G, if many of you can remember back that far.”

We’ve been playing with the app for a short time, and first impressions suggest there’s plenty of potential – and some rough edges. Not all of the graphics seem up to speed with the new iPad’s Retina Display, looking pixelated and crunchy in places, and at times it grew sluggish. We also had some mistap issues, and at times the on-screen keyboard would instantly flick away before we could touch anything. However, on the flip side it was easy to snip sections from webpages into a notebook and then annotate them. Some of Apple’s restrictions may continue to impact on the app, too; for instance, there’s a block on accessing Safari bookmarks.

Taposé is available from the App Store for the iPad, priced at $2.99 [iTunes link]. Your purchase gets you 400MB of cloud storage with the company; unlimited storage is $29.99 per year.

Adobe has released a long-awaited update to its Flash Player that allows users to apply security patches with no prodding.

The background updater, which Adobe announced in a blog post published on Tuesday, is designed to better protect users against malware attacks that exploit newly discovered vulnerabilities in the ubiquitous media player. Over the past few years, organized crime gangs and spy rings have milked such zero-day flaws to surreptitiously install keyloggers and other data-stealing software on vulnerable machines. The new mechanism is intended to reverse that trend by reducing the time it takes for the majority of Flash users to plug critical holes that come under attack.

Up to now, Flash Player has provided notices of available updates and waited until users clicked an OK button before installing them. What’s more, Windows users who relied on multiple browsers weren’t fully protected until they installed one patch for Internet Explorer and a separate one for most other browsers. (The Chrome browser has Flash integrated into it, so patches are delivered in updates provided by Google automatically.)

Adobe’s background updater adopts an approach similar to that of Chrome. It allows Windows users to choose a setting that installs available updates automatically with no prompting. Updates will apply to Flash versions for all browsers other than Chrome, which will continue to bundle a dedicated player.

Automatic updating won’t work for releases that require users to change default settings in Flash. That includes version 11.2 released Tuesday, because it changes the way updates are applied to users’ machines. The background updater is currently available only for Windows versions of Flash, but a Mac version is now under development.

“The new background updater will provide a better experience for our customers, and it will allow us to more rapidly respond to zero-day attacks,” wrote Peleus Uhley, whose title is Platform Security Strategist on the Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team.

Statistics regularly compiled by Microsoft, Symantec, and others typically rank Flash, along with Oracle’s Java framework, as among the most frequently exploited pieces of software. In addition to making Flash easier to update, Adobe is working to improve security by collaborating with browser makers on protective sandboxes that isolate Web content from parts of the operating system that read and modify sensitive files. A version of Chrome code-named Pepper, for instance, will run Flash in the browser’s standard sandbox, which is regarded as one of the hardest to bypass. Adobe developers are also working on a Flash sandbox for Firefox. Microsoft, meanwhile, is continuing to improve security mechanisms for its next version of IE.

As things stand now, there is no Flash sandbox for those using Firefox, although the open-source browser does run it and other plugins in a separate process to prevent them from crashing the browser. Both Chrome and IE have various means of containing the Adobe player, but those measures often can be bypassed.
