			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Gadgets.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-530" title="Gadgets" src="http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Gadgets-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>         <strong>Ten Best Gadgets For 2012</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>iPad 3</strong><br />
It’s all eyes on Apple’s latest tablet, which could be announced as soon as next month. A high-resolution 2048&#215;1536-pixel display, 4G connectivity, an A6 processor, USB 3.0 and NFC technology (short-range radio used for contactless payment) are all rumored and it may even be 3D. What we eventually get will be a good indication of what is to come with the iPhone 5.</p>
<p><strong>iPhone 5</strong><br />
Apple could unveil the new quad-core iPhone in June but we expect to see it on shelves by the autumn. If you felt short-changed by the 4S, this promises to be an all-new design, albeit of similar proportions (reports suggest a 5in screen has been canned).</p>
<p><strong>Google tablet</strong><br />
Company president Eric Schmidt has hinted Google will launch its own branded tablet to rival the iPad within the next six months. Speaking to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, he revealed that Google would be ‘marketing a tablet of the highest quality’ and to expect a ‘brutal competition between Apple and Google Android’.</p>
<p><strong>Apple HDTV</strong><br />
Not to be confused with Apple TV, its miniature set-top box, the Californian company has decided to make its own television sets as well – albeit with screens supplied by Sharp. No idea on price yet or whether a 3D option will be available, but expect an iOS operating system. Production is to begin in the spring with a mid-2012 unveiling.<br />
<strong>Wii U</strong><br />
Nintendo’s next-generation home console boasts controllers with an inbuilt 6.2in touchscreen that works with your main display – or can be used as a portable gaming device. We finally get 1080p HD content and internal flash memory upgradable through USB or SD. No official release date, but 2012 looks promising.</p>
<p><strong>PSP Vita</strong><br />
Sony’s shiny new portable games console launches here on February 22, priced from £229, and boasts impressive features such as an A9 quad-core processor and 5-inch 960&#215;544 OLED touchscreen display. However, Sony faces stiff competition from iOS and Android gaming devices.</p>
<p><strong>Google TV</strong><br />
Landing here in early 2012, Google’s smart TV platform can be controlled via Android mobile phones, browses the web using their popular Chrome browser, runs Android apps and includes HD web video recordings. Despite a lukewarm reception in the US, Schmidt claims that most new TV sets will carry the platform by summer 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Samsung Galaxy SIII</strong><br />
The SII was many people’s phone of the year, so Samsung has its work cut out to meet expectation with its successor -– but the rumors sound good: a quad-core handset with up to five times the graphics quality and a 12-megapixel camera. Look out for announcements in early 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Amazon Kindle Fire</strong><br />
An Android tablet with Amazon Kindle pedigree for £125? It sounds like the gadget bargain of the decade and the Fire is certainly hot. The 7in device doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the iPad but then it never promised that. What it does possess it uses to its full potential. Now we just need a UK release date.</p>
<p><strong>Intel Ultrabooks</strong><br />
Ultra light, super-slim and lightning-quick PC laptops to rival the MacBook Air have arrived. We’ve already had the gorgeous Asus Zenbook, now expect other big players such as Sony, Samsung, Dell and Acer to follow suit shortly.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>You first have to know who’s the boss. You are in business to service customer needs, and you can only do that if you know what it is your customer want. When you truly listen to your customers, they let you know what they need and how you can provide superior service. Never forget that the customer pays our salary and makes your job possible.</li>
<li> Be a good listener. Take the time to identify customer needs by asking questions and concentrating on what the customer is really saying. Smile, show respect, listen to their tone of voice, words, body language, and most importantly, how they feel. Do not make assumptions thinking you intuitively know what the customer wants. Do you know what three things are most important to your customer? Effective listening and undivided attention are particularly important on the show floor where there is a great danger of preoccupation &#8211; looking around to see to whom else we could be selling to.</li>
<li> Identify and anticipate needs. Customers do not buy products or services. They buy good feelings and solutions to technical issues. Most customer needs are emotional rather than logical. The more you know your customers and understand their business infrastructure, the better you become at anticipating their needs. Communicate regularly so that you are aware of problems or upcoming needs.</li>
<li> Make customers feel appreciated and important. Always use their name and find different ways to compliment them, but be genuine about it. People value sincerity. It creates good feeling and trust. Think of ways to achieve positive feelings about doing business with you. Customers are very sensitive and know whether or not you really care about them. Always thank the customer as need it, keep good posture your body language conveys sincerity. Your words and actions should be congruent.</li>
<li> Brief your clients understand the way your business works and which is the most effective way in which you can help them. Your organization may have the world&#8217;s best ways for getting things done, but if your customers don&#8217;t understand them, they will have the tendency to feel confused, impatient and possibly to lose a business opportunity or lead. Always take all the time you need to explain what is exactly what you do and how your organization can simplify positive future solutions.</li>
<li> Always be positive &#8220;Yes&#8221;. Always find unmistakable means to enhance business for your clients through means of technology. When a request arises, if reasonable indeed, tell them that you can do it, be realistic and honest about it. Figure out how afterwards. Look for ways to make doing business with you pleasant. Never lie, keep your word, if you said you were going to do something for them, get it done asap, and don’t procrastinate.</li>
<li> Understanding when to apologize. When something goes wrong, apologize and always offer compensation of some sort. The customer may not always be right, but at the end is your customer and they are always right. Deal with issues immediately and advise customers what you have done to resolve it. Make it simple and accessible for customers to complain. Value their complaints. As much as we dislike it, it gives us a chance to improve our methods. Always go out of you way to make the customer feel comfortable.</li>
<li> Provide more than expected. The bottom line lies in keeping customers happy, think of ways to levitate your self above the competition. Here are some options to consider:</li>
</ol>
<p>◦                      Give the customers what they cannot get elsewhere</p>
<p>◦                      Always follow up, and be thankful.</p>
<p>◦                      Be on top of their technical needs, and always provide</p>
<p>◦                      new merging ideas for future solutions.</p>
<p>◦                      Use the proactive and not reactive methods for their solutions,</p>
<p>◦                      remember that downtime in this business is not an option.</p>
<p>9.  Always acquire regular feedback. Encourage and welcome suggestions as to how you can improve your level of service. There are vast varieties of ways in  which you can find out what customers think and feel about your services.</p>
<p>◦                      Always listen .</p>
<p>◦                      Follow up often times.</p>
<p>◦                      Provide an approach that invites constructive criticism, comments, and suggestions.</p>
<p>10.   Treat employees respectfully and courteous. If you treat employees as if they make a difference, they will make a difference. If you don&#8217;t treat and  respect your employees well, they won&#8217;t take your business serious.  Employees are your internal customers and need a regular dose of merit, appreciation, and incentive. Treat your employees with respect and chances are they will have a higher regard for your customers. At last, employees are the heart of the company, they are in the front line, dealing with the customer on a day to day basis. Treat them well and you’re more likely to have a successful Organization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>1. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Google Voice</a></h2>
<p>Google Voice is a service that is so useful I consider it one of the top benefits of Android itself. The service gives you a phone number that can ring to multiple places or devices and it allows you to access all of your voicemail and text messages from the Web. The Android app integrates even deeper. It can make outgoing calls look like they’re coming from your Google Voice number so that you can keep your real mobile number private.</p>
<h2>2. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Advanced Task Killer</a></h2>
<p>One of the realities of having a multitasking mobile OS is that you have to manage your apps so that they don’t hurt performance or battery life. Advanced Task Killer (ATK) is my favorite on Android. It even comes with a widget that you can tap once to kill all open apps and you can also set up ATK to kill all apps at periodic intervals. Some people will argue that task managers are irrelevant and unneeded in Android, but I still prefer to use ATK.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dropbox.android&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Dropbox</a></h2>
<p>Dropbox is a great cloud service that automatically syncs a folder of files between multiple computers (Windows, Mac, or Linux). This app extends Dropbox to Android and interacts with other apps (such as Documents To Go) to open the files. It allows you to access PDFs, image files, and business documents by simply dragging them to a folder on your computer and then you immediately have access to them from your mobile phone, once you have this app installed.</p>
<h2>4. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evernote&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Evernote</a></h2>
<p>Once you get used to typing on a virtual keyboard (and it honestly took me over a year to do it), then these devices are great for note-taking, and Evernote is a great note-taking app. It is similar to Dropbox in that it saves data locally but syncs it across all your machines and devices.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.taskos&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Taskos</a></h2>
<p>There are plenty of to-do apps to choose from on Android but I now prefer Taskos because of the clean, easy, Android-friendly user experience. It also has a few extras that give it an advantage over apps. The biggest one is voice recognition, which lets you speak a task that the app turns into a to-do item (you might have to correct a word or two).</p>
<h2>6. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidanalytics&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">DroidAnalytics</a></h2>
<p>For some reason Google doesn’t have an official app for Google Analytics (for either Android or iPhone). The best one I’ve found on Android is DroidAnalytics. Another good one is mAnalytics.</p>
<h2>7. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dataviz.docstogo&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Documents To Go</a></h2>
<p>The free version of Documents To Go offers a great little reader for Microsof Word and Excel files. You can upgrade to the full version (for $15) if you want to be able to create and edit files and add PowerPoint files to the mix. If you do want editing capability, I’d also recommend taking a look at <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qo.android.am3&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">QuickOffice</a>.</p>
<h2>8. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Google Docs</a></h2>
<p>If you mostly work with Google Docs (including uploading Microsoft Office files to your Google Docs repository) then the only app you’ll really need is the Google Docs app. It’s a nice mobile implementation of document management, although the one annoyance is that always open up files in a web browser rather than within the app itself, which would be a little smoother.</p>
<h2>9. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tripit&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Tripit</a></h2>
<p>I dig Tripit. It is by far the best app I’ve found for keeping track of all my travel itineraries. It runs on some great backend systems. You simply forward your confirmation emails for your flights, hotels, rental cars, and more to Tripit and it automatically organizes them into trips with all your details and confirmation numbers. Or, if you use Gmail, you can even use a plugin to automatically catch confirmation emails and turn them into Tripit trips.</p>
<h2>10. <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/placesdirectory/" target="_blank">Google Places</a></h2>
<p>This is an awesome app for finding shops and services near your current location. From restaurants to medical facilities to taxis, this app is very accurate and takes advantage of the business information from Google Local. This app is better than the info you get from a GPS unit (or app) and better than any of the similar apps available on the iPhone. It’s also integrated into Google Maps.</p>
<h2>11. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.metago.astro&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Astro File Manager</a></h2>
<p>Another one of the great things about Android (if you’re a geek or a tinkerer) is that you have lower-level access to the system itself. Astro is an app that lets you navigate the Android file system, which is mostly just interesting, but can be handy once in a while.</p>
<h2>12. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Speed Test</a></h2>
<p>I’m obsessed with running speed tests to check my bandwidth in various places, both to see 3G/4G fluctuations and to check the quality of Wi-Fi. There are a number of really good speed test apps, but my favorite is the Speedtest.net app. It’s generally consistent and it has some of the best graphics and options.</p>
<h2>13. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Amazon Kindle</a></h2>
<p>I’ve never completely warmed up to the Amazon Kindle e-reader, but I’m a big fan of the Kindle mobile app. Since it was released I’ve read a lot more books simply because my smartphone is always with me and I can pull it out and read a few pages anytime I’ve got a couple minutes free.</p>
<h2>14. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Google+</a></h2>
<p>I’ve <a href="http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/hiner/why-google-plus-is-about-to-change-the-web-as-we-know-it/8642" target="_blank">written a lot about Google+</a> since it launched in July and I’m pretty active over there (<a href="https://plus.google.com/100173452066172931939/posts" target="_blank">+Jason Hiner</a>). One of the great things that Google did was to release a Google+ Android app at the same time it launched the service as a beta. And, surprisingly, the app was actually pretty good and has been improved since. It immediately became one of my most used mobile apps and definitely stole some of my time away from Android’s <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twitter.android&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Twitter app</a>, mostly because Google+ is a little more interactive.</p>
<h2>15. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ogqcorp.tpa&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">TED Air</a></h2>
<p>The TED conference features a meeting of the minds of some of society’s most influential thinkers. You’ll disagree with some of them since there’s a large diversity of viewpoints, but many talks are worth listening to in order to catch the latest creative thinking on society’s biggest challenges. The cool thing is that they’ve taken the videos from the conference and made them freely available on the Web. The TED Air app provides a great way to access the videos on a mobile device. I hope more conferences follow TED’s lead on this.</p>
<h2>16. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.unveil" target="_blank">Google Goggles</a></h2>
<p>This is a fun app that is a little bit ahead of its time. It does visual searches. You can take pictures of things and then the app tries to tell you what they are. It’s limited in its scope but it is pretty cool, and it’s definitely a peek into the future. One of the coolest features is the ability to take pictures of text in a foreign language and let the app translate it for you. In a foreign country, this can help you read street signs and avoid going into the wrong bathroom. <img src='http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  On a more practical level, Goggles is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code" target="_blank">QR code</a> reader and you can also use it to scan bar codes on products to look them up online.</p>
<h2>17. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.psmobile" target="_blank">Photoshop Express</a></h2>
<p>Photoshop is, of course, the best known photo editor in the world and its mobile app doesn’t do anything to hurt that reputation. But while the desktop version is known for having a zillion features, the mobile app is distinguished by its simplicity. It’s the best Android (and iPhone) photo editing app for simple crops, brightness adjustments, and sharpens, for example.</p>
<h2>18. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audible.application&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Audible</a></h2>
<p>As much as I like the Kindle ebooks, I actually consume more books as audiobooks via Audible. With the Audible app you can connect to your Audible library and download over the air. The app also gives you a self-contained player optimized for audiobooks, with a skip-back-30-seconds button and the opportunity to make notes and bookmarks (although I wish the app would store these online so that they could be accessed from the Audible site).</p>
<h2>19. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.shazam.android&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Shazam</a></h2>
<p>If you want to impress your friends with a mobile app, show them Shazam. Ever hear a song being played at a store or on the radio and ask yourself, “Oh, what song is that?” That’s where Shazam comes in. Just hit the button and let it listen for 15 seconds, query its database, and then return the name of artist and the song. It has about an 80% success rate. This one isn’t particularly productive, but it is really cool. (You have to live a little, every once in a while.)</p>
<h2>20. <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.finance&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">Google Finance</a></h2>
<p>This is a great little app that regularly gets overlooked. It connects to your Google Finance account, where you can set up a list of stocks and companies to follow and sort them into groups (portfolios). The app provides three simple tabs — a look at the market, a look at your portfolios, and the latest market news. It even does real-time updates when you have the app open.<a href="http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/call-the-world.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-338" title="call the world" src="http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/call-the-world-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Gang,</p>
<p>I see many computer issues on a day to day basis.  I can tell you that 99% of them are Virus Related.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what many of your techs supporting your systems,  don&#8217;t want you to know..</p>
<p>1.  Free Anti viruses don&#8217;t work, and this is why!!!.  Many of these free Anti viruses programs used to work about 2 years ago. They no longer work. They will protect you up to a certain level of malware, and viruses, but the worse, which are trojans the ones that causes the most harm,  none of them are able to offered the proper protection. Many techs out there will offer the free Antivirus protection, only to come back 1 to 2 months after to process another charge to your account.</p>
<p>2.  Based on my experience these are the only two Internet securities I will acquired for any of my clients.</p>
<p>a:  Trend Micro Internet Security</p>
<p>b:  Karspesky Internet Security</p>
<p>Gang,,,,, Forget Norton, CA or anything else.  These are by farrrrrrr the best of the best, you will have to purchase them year to year, but they will save you a lot of money and head aches on the long run.</p>

<a href='http://sunshineonsite.com/feel-you-have-a-computer-virus-you-will-thank-me-forever/domain_lmkel_16298-5/' title='domain_LmKEl_16298'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://sunshineonsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/domain_LmKEl_162983-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="domain_LmKEl_16298" title="domain_LmKEl_16298" /></a>
</p>
<p>do a search for malwarebytes</p>
<p>Malwarebytes is a free and an excellent virus scanner that will pretty much remove every trojan, malware, root kit, and Virus from your system.</p>
<p>Only after that,,,,, your system registry have being so corrupted  that you need to run a registry cleaner&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether on a home computer or a business server, data security is an issue of vital importance in today&#8217;s digital world. Simply put, data security involves protecting the various forms of data that are stored on the hard drives found on laptops, desktops and on servers around the world. With the internet allowing unprecedented access to the computers of others, data security has become more important than ever before.</p>
<p><strong>Data Encryption</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>There are a few basic methods of keeping your data secure. The most basic and common is the use of encryption technology. In layman&#8217;s terms, encryption is like sending a letter in code. The data is scrambled into a form that is unreadable by anyone who does not have access to the key in order to decode it. There are various types of encryption technology. Disc encryption, a system that encrypts all of the data on a hard drive, can be performed either via disc encryption software or disc encryption hardware, both of which perform the task of making data on your computer unreadable to those without the proper access key to decode it.</p>
<p>Read full article here   http://EzineArticles.com/?The-Basics-of-Data-Security&amp;id=6078212</p></blockquote>
<p>Disc encryption is a good, common form of protecting your data, but it still has potential flaws. Although the data is unreadable to others, it could still be accessed and damaged, rendering it useless to you. Protecting your data, whether encrypted or not, from being accessed in the first place is an important part of data security for both home users and businesses alike. The most basic way to make your data inaccessible to others is by strong user authentication procedures.</p>
<p><strong>User Authentication</strong></p>
<p>User authentication is a very simple concept. Every time you boot up your computer and enter a password, you are providing user authentication; the password tells the computer that you are an authorized user and should be allowed access to the files within. User authentication procedures are only as strong as the passwords and protocols used with them. The most common and preventable error in data security is use of a weak password. Your password should never use commonly accessible information that could be used to access your computer files. Don&#8217;t use birth dates, family member&#8217;s or pet&#8217;s names or other similar information. While it might make your password easy to remember, it will also make it easy for someone else to figure out. Instead, choose a password that is not a real word, uses a combination of numbers and letters and also a combination of upper case and lower case letters.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond the Basics</strong></p>
<p>Beyond the basics, there are a wide variety of advanced data security solutions that are hardware and software based and can protect your data from within the computer. Think of data security as a multi-step process. The first line of defense is to keep people out of your data in the first place. This means securing your data not just from people who could log in from your workstation, but from people who might access your data through the internet as well.</p>
<p>The second line of defense is having a good encryption program that will prevent anyone who does access your data from using it in a malicious manner, leaving them only the option of destroying the data or corrupting it. If this happens, you need to fall back on the third and final line of defense: back-ups.</p>
<p><strong>Data Back Ups</strong></p>
<p>Backing up your data is a vital part of protecting it. If all of your other security measures fail and your data is corrupted and rendered unreadable or unusable, all will not be lost as long as you have a back-up. Set up a good back-up system and use it regularly to ensure that the information you have on your back-up file is as recent as possible, allowing you to restore corrupted files to where they were prior to the invasion of your computer. If you fail to have a recent back up of your files, your best bet is to contact a local Data recovery Firm to have the files recovered, and hopefully repaired.</p>
