Guy Hochman - CEO of Genie Computing Services

The corona virus took us all by surprise. As business owners and CEOs of Hafezi Haim, we were required to overcome the shock, abandon most of the conventions we knew about "how our business works" and ensure business continuity - all this in an environment of uncertainty. Within a few days, many businesses went into emergency mode, moved employees to work from home, They established decentralized service and sales centers, discovered or strengthened the e-commerce system and changed the operation and logistics system from end to end. Other businesses, which could not or did not manage to quickly adapt to the required changes and maintain business continuity, suffered a severe blow.

The post-corona era is here
Today, after adapting the organization's systems to the new situation, CEOs in all sectors of the economy face a new dilemma: whether and how to return from the emergency routine to the comfortable and familiar routine that characterized the business world just before the outbreak of the epidemic, and will the changes forced upon us by the corona crisis remain forever?
The corona virus "moved the cheese" to the business sector and accelerated processes that would have matured slowly in the coming decade. Common managerial conventions such as "working from home hurts the employee's productivity" or "a long working day in the office indicates the efficiency and dedication of the employee" turned out to be inaccurate, to say the least. The crisis proved that it is possible to manage employees remotely, maintain their productivity and even increase their satisfaction - but, however, not everything is rosy.

Work from home - the chopper that became a challenge
Many companies find it difficult to preserve the corporate culture that characterized them before the crisis. Many managers feel impaired in teamwork, information sharing and the ability to brainstorm remotely. On the other hand, even the employees who "realized the dream" and work from home, feel very well the blurring of the boundaries between the professional and personal space, thirst for interaction with co-workers and the feeling of "togetherness". Therefore, in the post-Corona era, we are all required to recalculate our course, in three key organizational areas:

■ Cultivating positions of trust
Until the corona broke into our lives, we were very comfortable seeing all our employees report to the office every morning and fulfill their tasks. In the post-corona period, we must develop more positions of trust among employees and instill in them the feeling that we see and appreciate their efforts - even when they are not in the office. Another layer that requires special attention during this period is the recruitment of new employees, while examining the candidates' ability to work independently and remotely.

■ Measurement mechanisms and employee evaluation
Who is more effective? An employee who stays in the office from birth to death, or an employee who is at home, works via Zoom and takes care of his children at the same time? As managers in the post-corona period, we must develop measurement and evaluation mechanisms that will allow us to measure the productivity of employees and evaluate their performance - regardless of their physical location and the number of weekly working hours.

■ Information security
The compulsion to move employees to work from home and remote connection significantly increased the risk of business information leakage from the organization's computer systems and cyber attacks. Therefore, we must invest more resources than ever in a managed and secure environment that will protect the access points that are outside the corporate security circles and connected to the core systems, without proper monitoring or security.

Moving forward to the 2021 model - flexible work week
As CEO, it is clear to me that the traditional employment model has lost its relevance and that I must adopt a different model that will accompany me and my people in the coming years. In my opinion, the solution lies in moving to a flexible work week, which will contribute to the cooperation between the employees and their productivity, and also provide a response to the emotional difficulties experienced while working alone from home .

This model will allow employees with individual assignments to continue working from home and will create a defined framework, in which teams will meet in the office on regular days for routine work, or to hold brainstorming sessions where personal interaction is essential.
But beyond the existing technical solutions, the year 2021 is expected to challenge every CEO: beyond the management and business development tasks, we will all be required to invest a lot of thought and resources to maintain employee cohesion, to strengthen the sense of team and to foster the common goal. Good luck!

Every time we open the outer packaging of the computer, we must be aware of the static dangers that await us. As everywhere that creates friction, even inside our computer there are many particles that create friction, which in many cases are not even visible to the eye, and even they may cause a static market.

How can we prevent this? Here are some steps that will help us:   

First it was said that it is not a bad idea to purchase an anti-static strap. We place such a strap on our wrist and what it actually does is isolate the electric current from our body. Because the human body is also an electrical conductor. It is recommended that you follow the instructions for use before using any of these strips, but they can definitely help. The strips can be purchased at electrical and construction stores. If you know that you have a lot of work ahead of you in front of the open computer, even a small rug under the work area can help.

Of course, we know that these strips are not a very common thing, so even if you don't have them, it's not the end of the world. Let's assume your computer is grounded. You can also ground your personal body by keeping only one hand in contact with the iron frame that surrounds the computer from the inside. This frame obviously conducts electricity and placing both hands on it may cause the static shock to accelerate, so it is better to avoid it. Another important thing is to disconnect the power cable from the power source. It is even recommended to check if there is a small switch on the power supply and change it from active mode to inactive mode, but in any case it is recommended to remove the cable from the power source.
Never work on an open computer while the computer is running!

If your computer is connected to a splitter to which other electrical devices are connected, it is highly recommended to disconnect it as well. If there is an on and off switch on the splitter, you can also change the switch to the off position. Another thing that will help your computer stay grounded is some kind of conductive connection from your computer to the ground, just like you do with cars, and even with the human body. Again, it is recommended that under this there be a rug or some object that is isolated from the floor.

The average person's body can absorb about 25,000 volts of static discharge. It sounds like a lot, but don't check yourself. It is very important to follow the rules when dealing with an open computer. This does not mean that a computer can absorb 25,000 volts. Such damage can significantly damage your computer! Your memory cards are the most sensitive parts to static discharges and can be significantly damaged resulting in many error messages and blue screens. Therefore, you must invest in preventive measures, your computer will thank you. If your computer is cold, try to bring it to room temperature. Static emissions are much more common in cold and dry weather. And the most important thing, do everything with moderate judgment and logic.

Successfully.

Google Goes Against Spelling Errors (And Wins)

A body called "The National Arbitration Forum", which serves as a legal alternative to the courts, ruled in favor of Google after it claimed that Sergey Gridsov, a resident of St. to the Google website. The websites' web addresses are googkle.com, ghoogle.com and gooigle.com.

Google was founded in September 1998 by two Stanford University graduates, and registered its domain name on the Internet about a year later. Gridsov, according to the claim, registered the names of his sites in December 2000 and January 2001.

The decision of the arbitrator, Paul Dorf, supports Google's claim that the incorrect addresses are part of a plan to infect surfers' computers with hostile software that may cause the operating system to crash, delete important information and files, or open access routes into systems containing sensitive and important information.

Google's claim was submitted on May 11, and until the day the decision was made, Gridsov had not responded to the accusations, which allows the arbitrator to accept any unproven accusation by Google as true.

The AP News Agency contacted Gridsov last Friday, using the email address he registered when he purchased the URLs. In the response, which was not signed by Gridsov himself, the writer confirmed the claim that the URLs were intended to take advantage of surfers' mistakes and thus gain great exposure more, but claimed in addition that there have never been any complaints about the functioning of the sites - and it is possible that new software that was installed on the sites, and which was supposed to be safe, is the cause of the complaints.

F-Secure, a Finnish company specializing in the detection and identification of hostile software, identified googkle.com as a problematic site in a message it published on April 26, more than two weeks before Google filed its complaint.

The attempt to "ride on the success" of popular websites is nothing new. One of the famous examples is the website whitehouse.com which published pornographic websites and products and was, of course, intended to take advantage of the mistakes of surfers who sought to reach the website Whitehouse.gov - the official website of the President of the USA.

Typosquatting
The common name for the attempt to enjoy typing mistakes of surfers trying to reach popular sites is "typosquatting". The exact definition, according to the website webopedia.com, is: "Purchasing a domain name that is a variation of a popular domain name in the expectation that the site will gain exposure as a result of typing mistakes by surfers."

Being a site rated as one of the safest on the entire Internet, and considering the huge number of surfers the site attracts (about 66 million different surfers per month), Google has been a favorite target for typosquatting for a long time.

Needless to say, the Internet community is quite clearly divided into two - the owners of the websites that engage in typosquatting and see it as a legitimate business, and the owners of the original popular websites that oppose the phenomenon with all their might. The website www.tipz.net summarizes an article on the subject with the words: "Those who engage in typosquatting are scavengers who feed on the crumbs that fall from the mouths of other animals. It may not be illegal, but it is certainly unacceptable."

Not long ago, "Apple" was injured with the heartbreaking exit. APPLE Macbook laptop computer. Only a year after its release, Apple brought the updated version of the mobile, which can operate with the core2duo processor, developed by Intel.

So let's start by exploring its design. Small, comes in two colors, black or white and once you look at it, your pupils will probably dilate. He is undoubtedly extremely impressive. The thickness of the body of the Macbook is only 3.2 cm, while its weight is only 2.7 kg. These features easily win the eyes of any user. After all, most of us are looking for a laptop as light as possible and as close and similar to a notebook as possible. The texture and the external case of the computer allows it to be kept from different temperature and pressure conditions which could allow a longer life of the computer.

The body of the mobile comes with refined silver finishes that make its design so elegant that you can't take your eyes off it. The weight factor comes thanks to the aluminum pad that wraps the computer.

We will open the Macbook and discover what many in the company describe - the scientific miracle of the Macbook. The keyboard, like the entire computer, is elegantly and quite simply designed. In addition to the standard and essential keyboard buttons, you can find only one more button on the keyboard, which is the computer's power button. Unlike most laptops on which you will find many other buttons with different functions. Depending on how you look at it, you can judge the Macbook as a fairly simple model or rather the opposite, inside a special model unlike any other.

On the upper side of the open computer we will see the 13.3 inch wide LCD screen, which allows us to see every picture perfectly and refined whenever we want. Visibility is extremely sharp and crystal clear. There is no doubt that the LCD screen takes a significant part in the sharp and clear image output, this is not surprising at all, when working through an LCD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Regarding the design of the keyboard, you can look at it in two ways. Despite its simplicity, there is something very special about its appearance, something that simply inspires enthusiasm. The keyboard in appearance as well as in feeling gives the reaction feeling while pressing each of its keys, this factor can add to the special convenience of the computer. It might sound like we're praising the MacBook a little too much and we've only just started the review, but that's just the way it is. The keyboard is exceptionally comfortable, and the mouse pad also responds in a balanced and fast way, but not special compared to other laptops.

From the exterior we will move a little to the interior parts. Even inside, the computer is not particularly disappointing. Let's start with the hard disk. In this computer we can find something that we may not be able to find in many other computers, a hard disk capable of holding over 250 GB. In most laptops today we can get them with 70-150GB of storage space, so there is no doubt that the hard disk of the MacBook is particularly impressive. So don't worry about the amount of material you want to store, the computer will do it for you. From the very beginning of the review, the savvy among us will be able to tell how powerful the new updated processor is in the updated model of the computer. The new processor from Intel, core2duo, with a size of 3MG, makes the Macbook one of the most powerful computers among all competitors.

The Macbook does not disappoint in the external connections either, it comes with a USB 2.0 input, and on top of that it also has a FireWire 400 input, which is a particularly convenient solution for many devices, especially in the field of music recording and connecting musical instruments to computer recording. Even the burner of the Macbook, we can say that it is one level above all competitors. The form burns at a speed of -24x, or when burning a double layer at a speed of 8x, which ensures the stability and safety of the disc burning. The computer has no moving parts, which results in a significant reduction in internal hardware failures. Another thing is the way to insert the CD. In most portable computers today, we will have to press a button that will take out the CD tray, we will have to pull it out a little, put the CD we want to play and then push the entire tray into the computer to start playing. The Macbook does not have the aforementioned CD tray at all. In the place where the CD tray is usually found, we can find a certain thin strip with a mark for inserting the CD. What we will have to do is simply push the CD into the aforementioned strip that will be sucked into the computer. When we want to take it out, we will press a button that will eject it.

This topic can be a particular problem. What to do? Not everything is rosy. In many cases, we encounter situations where our CD drive is stuck, and inside is a CD that is very important to us. All we have to do is simply take a small pin, and insert it into a small hole located under the CD tray (it was specially invented for such situations). Once we insert the pin, the pin pushes an internal button that pushes the CD tray out manually and then we can take out the CD easily. On the other hand, due to the fact that the Macbook does not have a CD tray, it also does not have the aforementioned hole. But many Apple fans believe that the computer and Apple products in general are reliable enough that there is nothing to worry about.

The standard MacBook computer comes with a 2.1 GHz processor or the slightly improved 2.4 GHz, and these figures are also particularly impressive for a laptop. The Macbook also comes with a Bluetooth 2.0 card, which is present in many new laptops today, but which, in addition to all the other options on the computer, adds a lot to the convenience.

Comparisons are a part of life, and the Mac operating system will have to stand up to comparison with Microsoft's leading operating systems, Windows Vista, Windows XP. Many Mac users claim that once you start using and getting used to the system you become addicted to it and it is difficult to go back to the previous systems.

The Mac operating system offers many customization options that will help you adapt your work and the system to your personal needs at a particularly high level, by offering many and varied features that leave Microsoft's operating systems far behind. Many of the Mac users explain how particularly comfortable the work interface is, and the whole point is to make the transition from the various Windows systems to the Mac system without being afraid of adapting to the changes.

The taskbar in the system is a taskbar that disappears regularly. Of course, we can also add the disappearing option in the Windows systems, but together with the various additions and changes in Mac, this is simply another factor to make everything "cooler". Surfing the Internet was also noted as more successful than various Microsoft systems. Browsing is usually done faster and the sites look better and without problems.

Even in the fields of multimedia, the Mac system beats the various window systems. In a survey conducted among music editors and graphic designers in the United States, a majority was found who prefer to work with the Mac computers in this field, than with Microsoft's systems. The users explained that Apple's systems are simply more reliable and more stable than Microsoft's and also offer a wider range of options. And even for the normal user, Apple's computer proved to be more successful. The iTunes software has proven to be a new hit in the field of audio playback. In doing so, Mac meets the needs of each and every one of us.

In conclusion, Apple's Macbook computers have proven themselves on most levels and have also proven that they simply do not fall short in anything from Microsoft's various systems. Today, Apple's computers are still not distributed in the same way as other computers are distributed in Israel. Apple computers can be purchased in several networks in Israel, but their prices are very high, and the support offered by Apple in Israel is also not satisfactory. Compared to the United States where Apple broke the box office a long time ago and are able to offer the maximum support to their customers. But who knows? Maybe one day it will be like that in Israel too.

Internet as a means of enforcement
In the United States of the 21st century, they are learning how to use computer technology to enforce traffic laws. A young man was caught in Rhode Island in the United States by photos he posted online and brought to trial.

Joshua Lipton, a 20-year-old man who lives in the state of Rhode Island in the United States, drove under the influence of alcohol and ran over a woman. The woman was seriously injured and hospitalized. The young man entered court proceedings, but was not in custody. A few weeks later, the young man went to a party with friends on Halloween disguised as a prisoner. The young man with the ironic joke did not think about the future results.

Almost every child nowadays carries a camera with him to document moments in life and also just for fun. One of Joshua's friends took photos at the party completely spontaneously and published the photos on the social network Facebook. The site is used as a popular means of communication among teenagers and among a few adults. The photographer friend decided that he publishes the photos from the party on his Facebook page, when in fact all his friends on the network will be able to see the photos from the party.

The prosecutors in the young man's trial did their job properly, found the above-mentioned photos, and decided to use them as evidence that the boy is completely irresponsible and without conscience. The legal prosecutor presented the photos in court while explaining that the boy is a completely emotionless and conscientious person, capable of Going out to hang out after an injury as he did, while the victim, the victim of the accident, is lying injured in the hospital trying to recover and restore her life.

The judge in court accepted the testimony, and Lipton was sent to prison for two years. Social networks like Facebook and more are, as I mentioned, an excellent means of communication. There is no doubt that they also have many negative features, and you should always remember that the net is not a secure place and unfortunately there are many who use the net for bad purposes.

Many detectives and police agents today use these networks to solve crimes and mysteries by searching for information about a person. Even in the field of daily work, many employers will search social networks of one kind or another for information about an employee, in order to learn about their employees and find out things that they would not be able to find out on a daily basis, thus in many cases even deciding whether he is suitable for the job or not. Photos as published, are without a doubt unequivocal evidence for Judge Lipton that he could not escape from. This is a classic example of how much the web can surprise us. Obviously Lipton didn't want them to know about the aforementioned party at all, but in today's computerized world, where half of our lives are run according to his will, there are things that are a little difficult to prevent.

This case is not the only case in which pictures published on the Internet were used in order to reach a conviction in court. In other cases, the guilty were caught even after receiving the punishment when they break their promise and their punishment. So no doubt…
Someone is always following us. This entire article is another point for thought, the Internet is a daily friend that in many cases we cannot live without, think carefully before you volunteer personal details to the network.

Let's start with Apple:
The real beginning of Apple was when CEO Steve Jobs took office and basically raised the company to great heights. Along with him, Steve Wozniak also entered. The two thought together how they could get customers interested in private personal computers. Something that was not common then and today we can find a computer in everyone's home. Boy. The two began selling PCs out of their garage in Southern California after Jobs was kicked out of the university he attended.

In the 1980s, Apple's growth increased rapidly, which attracted the attention of many in the industry, including Bill Gates, who is now known as the largest owner of Microsoft. Bill Gates, who studied at one of the best universities in the world, Harvard, also did not continue there too long, and decided to go out and try to fulfill his dream. Development of a computer system that will facilitate the use of computers and be distributed throughout the world. However, it was necessary to succeed in developing something good, accessible and easier than Apple's. We all know that today Gates succeeded in his vision.

There are endless debates, whether Gates and his friends stole different designs from Apple, but that is another matter. But nevertheless, Jobs was still dominating at that time in the field of development, and especially with the great growth of Apple. Towards the end of the 80s, Jobs, who was one of the founders of the company, was removed from his position due to his perfectionist and unpredictable nature. With the departure of Jobs, the company began to lose value. Many of its customers left, and the company began to lose a lot of money, the company lost its magic until the return of Jobs in 1977, at a time when Apple was already at the bottom of the industry, and in slower development than usual.

Jobs' return to the company also brought back with it the great success and great revenues of the company that continue to this day. Apple is not just a computer manufacturer. One of the things that increased Apple's income significantly was the media player - iPod, which conquered the world. Apple is very specialized in the design of its devices, and in the production of the user-friendly interface in them..

Microsoft:
Bill Gates was probably more obsessed with the business and profitable development of his product, than maintaining his production code, and rapid development. Unlike Apple who at the same time wanted to maintain the business development but not give up the development of their products. Gates' action does not sound so logical, but in fact it is what made his company the largest computer manufacturer in the universe, and himself the richest man in the world. Gates and his company began a campaign of persuading large companies like IBM to sell their software along with their products. In this act, the new "clone" of IBM became a resounding success in the sales of IBM and other manufacturers due to the fact that the new software from Microsoft integrated into their computers makes their use much easier.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Microsoft grew and developed rapidly compared to Apple, which was then without Jobs, and began with resentment. It wasn't even a matter of debate, while Microsoft's new strategy is rising and succeeding, Apple is busy testing its own strategy and seeing what's wrong.

There are many disagreements, that Gates and his company made many illegal deals with computer manufacturers, which greatly contributed to the development of Microsoft. In any case, Gates managed to reach a situation where his software will be the only one that will be sold on all the PCs produced by the manufacturers. which is still happening today. Gates developed Microsoft's famous operating system - Windows, and implanted it in all PCs produced in the world today.

However, starting in the late 1990s, when Jobs returned to Apple, the never-ending competition between the two was back in full swing.
Today, according to speculations, Apple even overtakes Microsoft in its revenues.

So who wins here? This is a very difficult decision to make (as always). There are countless fans of both Apple and Microsoft. Today it seems that the development of Apple is increasing perhaps more than that of Microsoft, both in the company itself and in the sales market as I mentioned before. Apple is becoming more and more popular.

We may know the answer to the first question in a decade. And that's not safe either.

The post שאלה גדולה – אפל או מיקרוסופט? appeared first on genie שירותי מחשוב לעסקים.

Apple began its great growth immediately with the arrival of a new CEO named Steve Jobs. From a company with very few sales, Steve Jobs turned it into one of the most successful and profitable companies in the world. The company's turnaround began immediately with the release of the iPod, a player A particularly successful multimedia with a unique interface, which you can find in almost every person today. Even today, Apple continues to release new models for each and every one of its products at a dizzying pace. Many people today believe that Apple is the best computer manufacturer in the world, producing products with a high quality and a longer life style. But is it really so? Have we gotten a little out of proportion? Or maybe it's just that Apple got a little dizzy from the success?

Even at the beginning of the sale of the famous media player, the iPod, many buyers came and complained about problems with the system. These problems have always been there, but due to the rate of development of the company and becoming the symbol of success of the computer world, many of us probably ignore it completely. Many others argue that this is one of Apple's development methods. Along with producing new models quickly, the company will be able to get buyers to buy more. With a limited time lifestyle, the buyer will come and buy another, newer product. is it true? It will be hard to know.

There is no doubt that Apple does not specialize exclusively in multimedia players. Apple specializes in every product it releases. At least that's what we thought. Somehow, Apple decided that they are also entering the world of communication and decided to produce the iPhone, a sophisticated cell phone, which, with its special design and technological tricks, will be used by the buyer for daily communication needs. But even in it the users found many deficiencies. If it's the delicacy of the device, if it falls, the chance that it will survive is not really great, and if it's in its features. For example, they found that it is not possible to use the existing song on the device as a ringtone, but that you must purchase a ringtone separately from the company's website.

Apple released the first iPhone about a year ago. The iPhone was presented at a large exhibition, broke hearts and equally broke the box office. Apple sold an incredible amount of iPhone units and within one single day the iPhone was already sold out of all the company's stores.
Each unit was sold for about 400 dollars in the United States. A few months ago, the company decided to release the third generation of the iPhone which allows functions that the first generation does not allow and this is not the only advantage. Another important advantage is the price. The new iPhone is currently sold in the United States for half the price of the first model. This surprising change causes anger among the firm's loyal customers.

If you expected that at least in the new iPhone, the company would fix many defects as a lesson from the old one, you were wrong. A number of defects were also found in the new model. The new model provides very simple problems, such as slow Internet browsing and synchronization services that do not work properly. On top of that, this model has major reception problems and customers complain that it is difficult for them to find reception points in order to communicate. Customers who complained that the device does not work on the train, for example, were told by Apple's service centers that they should switch the device to flight mode and try again.

Due to the rapid production and release of products to the market, compatibility problems between the old and new models are also revealed. Let's take the iPod for example. Many buyers of the older models have complained that they cannot find different accessories for the device because the company currently sells accessories for the new models only. Therefore, users have to find different solutions, or simply buy a new model or some update to the old model, an additional expenditure of money. Is this again a certain trick of the company? Of course, the company does not admit mistakes, so it is difficult to report the percentage of casualties.

In many parts of the world, it was reported that some iPod models overheated, emitted sparks and even caught fire. Apple confirmed the situation, saying that these are individual models where the situation may happen, but with the introduction of the new models, the problem no longer appears. Apple does not usually report problems in the first place, so it is not known if the company knew about the problems before the products were sold or if it only received the information from private complainants. Along with this, complaints were also received about cables that crumble and are not insulated, which cause many problems in synchronizing the device and even cause it to heat up.

Apple is known for its various ways of avoiding admitting mistakes. The company will never release a message to the media about its various problems, but will resolve them with the consumers only. Instead, the company will find a nice way to beautify the faults and as a solution will turn to future version updates and even future products.

Many news stories and articles made the manufacturers at Apple aware that the company can indeed delete software from the various iPods wirelessly remotely. legal? Not sure. But even regarding this issue, the company did not think to inform its customers.

Another problem with Apple's products is the compatibility of various software with its products. Not every software can enter your Macintosh (Apple's type of computer and operating system) or your iPhone or iPod devices. Apple is very careful about filtering software that wants to update the operating system on the company's various computers. Of course, this can be seen as an advantage, but in many cases this issue also creates a limitation among users who cannot find suitable software for their work and for their personal needs.
On top of that, the company maintains its rights and allows the sale of these software exclusively in the company's stores, which of course maintains exclusivity but also makes buyers buy in the company's stores as well. It's not bad, but of course it makes the products cost more.

You can find Apple products in a few other chains besides the company's private stores. However, the company reserves the right to remove its products from any store and at any time, whenever it wants without giving any explanations.

And now that I have opened up to you many different faces of the perfect Apple, let me ask you a question. Despite everything, how does the company manage to conquer the hearts of its customers every time? I think I can say it in one word - design. The person responsible for design in the company is Jonathan Ive, and if we are talking about it, then we can say that he is also one of the main people responsible for the development of Apple and its large revenues. Abe, who is defined in the company as the chief designer, is responsible for the design of the iPod player, and of the company's various computers. Many believe that he is also the one who will replace CEO Jobs when the time comes.

Abe is also responsible for the design of the iPhones, and with him, Apple managed to break the hearts of customers. The iPhone offers many functions but does not exceed the quality of any advanced cell phone today. Moreover, it even lacks many functions that are not present in new and advanced cell phones today. But it is important to note that none of them are designed like the iPhone. So why again do customers go ahead and buy, did Apple just grab the name of the future company? Is it the replacement of Microsoft?
There is no doubt that the company has broken the trust of its customers.

In conclusion, Apple is really no longer just a manufacturer of computers and media players. Apple did not win the hearts of its customers because of its mistakes. There is no doubt that Apple has a lot to offer. However, one must remember that they are also not perfect and it is always worth doing comparisons and tests before purchasing a product. I'm also a big believer in big names, because there's no doubt that a big company didn't just get a big name. However, comparisons can in many cases open our eyes.

Check, compare and only then decide.

So what is it anyway and why do you need it?
The service allows you to save files (a kind of DiskOnKey), only you don't have to carry it, and even better, you don't have to pay for it, the service is completely free. The only thing needed to save to SkyDrive is an available internet connection.

There is a maximum limit of 50MB for a single file, other than that feel free to upload whatever your heart desires there, photos, music, videos, documents and the sky is the limit. In addition there is an option to share certain folders such as the favorites folder or the documents folder, or any folder you decide to create in this nice thing. Keep in mind that uploading files to the Internet takes quite a bit of time in Israel, the Internet infrastructure in Israel is usually not symmetrical, so our upload speed is much lower than the download speed. I still find the service much more useful than sending files to myself by email or using Gpace and the like.

What they didn't say about it: that it's slow, that it's cumbersome, that it's unstable, that it's Microsoft's biggest failure - and yet there are some strange people who decided to install and use it, I'm one of them.

After a whole month with Vista, it is very difficult to go back to work on XP, and the reasons for this are many and varied.

Before I continue it is important for me to emphasize that vista is not suitable for every computer, the computer must be

Even more powerful than Microsoft recommends so that the user can enjoy excellent performance.

So how do I know if Vista is right for me?

• I have a new laptop - most of which today come with Vista Build-in.
• I have a powerful desktop computer (PC) at home.

Vista was built more intelligently for mobile devices that have become so common in recent years.

electricity use - In Vista they have improved the power consumption (critical for users of laptops), and you can choose between three working modes:
Economical, balanced, and maximum performance.

Bitlocker – This feature knows how to encrypt the hard disk, very effective for CEOs who store sensitive information on the laptop -
Available in Enterprise and Ultimate versions only.

wireless network - The connection is made easily and simply, you can choose one of three security modes:

*public - If I'm sitting in a cafe - maximum security.

*Working - If I am at my workplace - less secure than a public situation.

*Home - If I am connected to my home network, the least secure.

AERO – The famous graphical interface whose biggest advantage is beauty, and its biggest disadvantage is a reduction in performance,
Therefore, it is highly recommended to buy a separate video card (with independent processor and memory) to enjoy high performance.
Not available in the Home Basic version.

Gadgets - All kinds of cool software that sits on the side of the screen like the famous Vista clock, notes, calendar, weather forecast, and countless other gadgets that can be downloaded from Microsoft's website. Comfortable and fun.

Media Center – Amazing software where you can enjoy movies\photos\music, you can purchase a special remote control, connect the computer
Screen in the living room and enjoy comfort and home entertainment in the style of the 2000s.

This feature is available in Home Premium and Ultimate versions.

Bottom line: Vista is a more secure, more enjoyable operating system that is not suitable for every computer.

Its interface is more user-friendly and much more inviting.
So before you ask the technician to downgrade to XP, think twice.

The post מי מפחד מ vista appeared first on genie שירותי מחשוב לעסקים.

Today, if these two "boys", Larry Page and Sergey Brin, want to eat breakfast, they can probably just buy the whole Burger King. Their start-up has become one of the richest businesses in the world, that there is no person who does not know it. More than three quarters of the searches conducted today in the UK are conducted through Google, about 100 million search requests in one day. The word "Google" is no longer just the name of a site. Today this name is already used as a verb and as a way to open up to an infinite world of information.

"These two people were always focused on making decisions about crucial things," said Craig Silverstein, a close friend of Page and Breen who was the first to join them. "It is very possible that if someone was interested in our technology, we would simply sell it... who knows, maybe even today." Craig adds and says that many large companies are simply afraid to take the risks and therefore often harm the development of the company. Craig adds an example when he says: "The investment entrepreneurs always tried to scare us when they said that most new start-ups fail" but as a cynical response their answer was: "Yes, but of course most of the failures are restaurants".

From such sentences, we can only put the emphasis on the three risk-lovers who currently run Google.

As we all know, "Google" survived. The risks the two decided to take were significant but equally they also showed the fruits. "Google" developed exactly according to expectations, by becoming today the most dominant search engine on the Internet that combines stability and computers containing infinite network fields to deal with the increasing number of websites, exactly according to the plans.

But what ultimately brought in the millions was the publicity. At "Google" they always knew how to catch those people who were interested in advertising with them, and even if those people doubted the decision to advertise on "Google", they always knew in the company to bring the right advertisement with the right words and thus keep their customers with them. So for example even Alice Bowe, a garden designer for that matter, will pay "Google" for advertising, which will make her website appear to anyone who types in "garden design", and lives within a radius of 80 kilometers from her home.

Alice says: "I didn't know anything about computers or anything related to them," she explains, "I took a three-month business administration course, but in the end it only taught me how to calculate my company's taxes. But with Google it It's very easy, you just type in the name or even some name that is close to what I'm looking for, and then in a few seconds I can see the results of what I'm looking for and even get the ranking of the recommended sites at my request."

"Google" proved that it is not another of the search engines, and one could even say, of the advertising agencies that only promise to promote your business and do not really do anything with it. All of you must have heard one story or another about sites that promised to promote the publication of the business on the site, promised to put your site on the first page of a search engine but did not really keep their promise.

The ability of "Google" to combine its stability, together with the mapping of the search results in the way the searcher wants to see them, is what brings to "Google" not only the profits, but also the power and the reliability of the surfers.

Another thing that promotes Google's greatness is also the way they work on the islands in faraway California. According to their words, the employees working in the company receive an extraordinary cultural environment and working conditions that give them the pleasure of coming to work every day. We all know that we will be more successful in the work that we enjoy doing, it turns out that somewhere, the managers of "Google" also know how to develop the company from a social point of view and thus make their employees achieve better results as well.

"We work in an environment where people feel free to develop their hobbies" says Mario, "If you don't want to sit and work on the chair, you can always take your laptop and continue the work even in the room full of armchairs and poufs"/

But this is of course not the only way in which "Google" differs from the other competitors. It starts even from the smaller things like the name Google, which is of course very easy to pronounce and even fun again to the huge level of content it offers in one simple search that gives thousands of results.

Today, 10 years after the creation of the world's most successful search engine, it is important to note that "Google" is not limited to just searching for textual information. Today, "Google" obtains the information for us in every possible way, from written text, through images, and even to complete video clips through "You Tube", which has also become an integral part of "Google's" success. "We started with text pages on the site, because there is simply a lot of information written and required by an audience on the text pages, it's very useful and it's very easy to get to," says Silverstein, but we always had the future vision that we could provide other types of information - personal information, Like for example the e-mail. Information that we must translate into an electronic file, like all the things that are in the brain of each of us, knowledge that we can simply put into the computer and access it whenever we want. These were always part of our ambitions and part of the strategy that we simply had to wait until we became a bigger company.

We cannot ignore the fact that the way to apply the information is fraught with many risks. Many of them were the fights with copyrights. Today, "YouTube" contains an infinite amount of video clips taken from various places and containing the rights of many creators who may refuse to publish them. Many investors were afraid that uploading this type of information could harm the company's revenues.

"It seems very acceptable to us, that a company that has grown so fast, should be allowed to develop with a certain arrogance," says Randall Strauss, one of the writers of "Google". "The company has built a kind of credibility in the world, that no matter what the company does, the world will actually accept and welcome it."

This particular problem of arrogance that exists in "Google" is not unique to it. However, we can agree that this is undoubtedly justified and acceptable arrogance for a company that has contributed so much to technological development and the world of computers.

"Google" that has come so far in such a short time does not stop here. Today the company is working on further developments and attempts to introduce search services even deeper into our daily lives, although I think we already agreed that "Google" takes a significant part in our daily lives. In "Google" they say: no matter how great the technological development in the world of computers will be, there will always be a great need for certain search services" and of course we cannot argue with them about that.

Let's conclude that "Google" will indeed continue to organize the world's largest information world, the Internet, and meet the goal they set for themselves and until now they are undoubtedly succeeding - to give us exactly what we want.
