Why Pay Monthly When I Can Go Into a Store and Pay Up Front For My Software?

March 10th, 2010

This is the very first question my wife asked when I introduced her to the concept of Software-as-a-Service. I think it is safe to assume many of you have or have had this very same question. Another follow-up question might be – “Won’t I end up paying more in the long run?”

Let’s make a comparison that most of you can relate to. You have likely all heard of a little internet company called “Netflix”. They are the thorn in Blockbuster Video and other video rental companies’ back. Their model is very similar to that of a Software-as-a-Service provider. You pay a flat monthly fee (at the moment I believe $8.99) and that grants you access to their massive library of movies. You can then have them send you 1 DVD at a time which you can keep as long as you need and when you send it back you can get another DVD. You could in theory watch 15+ DVD’s in a month all for $8.99.

So as you can see it makes much more sense if you enjoy movies to pay a monthly $8.99 fee than it does to either go out and buy a single DVD or to even go out and rent them. You get much more for your money. You get more selection, and you get to decide how much or how little of the service you want to make use of. Whether you rent 3 DVDs a month or 15+ you will be saving.

Now if you do not rent movies every month then of course in the long run it makes little sense to buy into this type of service. The parallel on the Software-as-a-Service side is that as part of your monthly fee you can be assured that you are always being automatically upgraded to the latest version of the software, it is always secure, and you can always be assured that you will have access to enable any new add-ons the company may roll out. If you would normally go out and buy a piece of software and then never update it and hang onto it for years and years, you likely would not benefit. With that said though, what piece of software produced by a traditional software company never has updates or new versions released? Just think of how many versions of Windows or Photoshop have been released over the years.

Armitron Women’s Chronograph Black Digital Sport Watch #45/6975RED

March 3rd, 2010

Armitron Women’s Chronograph Black Digital Sport Watch #45/6975RED This watch is Exactly what I needed!! I am a nurse and we go by military time for charting and other nursy stuff. This watch is a snap! All you have to do is push the reset button and it switches from 12/24 and visa versa– I am used to at least 4 button presses and wading through alarms, timers, and other BS that I just personally dont use! Not sure if this has timers or whatever but for a simple 12/24 switch and a nice easy to read iluminated watch you CAN NOT beat this watch. I am seriously considering buying more because I found the watch that as a nurse I will wear for years to come! SO HAPPY! I have tried many and none perform like this one. Cant say enough about it. Armitron: 45/6975RED Work out in comfort with the Armitron(r) women’s digital sport watch. It features alarm and chrono functions, as well as backlit time, day, and date displays.

How to Remove Antivirus Live – Uninstall Antivirus Live Easily With Removal Instructions

February 28th, 2010

What is Antivirus Live? It’s frighteningly powerful at the moment. This fake antivirus software makes it nearly impossible to run your computer normally. It blocks your programs from operating, and it starts itself automatically every time Windows starts. This virus is infected through a Trojan, meaning tracing its entrance is difficult to do. A unique and annoying aspect of Antivirus Live is the way it affects your proxy settings and makes it nearly impossible to run Internet Explorer. Antivirus Live will try to rob you of your money for what it claims to be “fully activated” software. It’s bogus. You have to remove this virus quickly before any irreperable harm is done.

The tell-tale signs of a fake antivirus infection are normally pop-ups, computer slowdown, and fake scans that start every time you boot your computer. Antivirus Live is no different. When it is running you will get all of the pop-ups, security alerts, warnings, and taskbar messages. You will receive official looking Windows warnings that will oddly suggest that you install Antivirus Live in particular. Normal Windows software will never recommend a particular program like this fake version does. This fake antivirus software will do whatever it can to scare you into shelving out your money. Don’t fall for it!

How Do I Uninstall Antivirus Live?

To remove this software you won’t be able to simply ‘Add/Remove’ it. Deleting the program files won’t be enough, either. This rogue software embeds itself into your system, into your registry, and disrupts your proxy settings. You can consider trying to remove it yourself, also known as manual removal, if you consider yourself an IT pro or a bigtime techie. The reason is that editing your registry is no laughing matter, as one mistake can conclude in large fees at a technician’s shop or a computer that won’t start up anymore. If you’re a pro, you’ll have to delete all related DLL and LNK files in your LOCAL_HKEY_USER and HKEY_CURRENT_USER folders, block related websites, and remove related files and folders. You can view complete Antivirus Live Removal instructions if you need them.

As a technician, I recommend that 95% of users find a legitimate antivirus program that will protect and defend their security now and in the future. I recommend a select few programs which do a great job of getting rid of Antivirus Live and protecting against the next onslaught of viruses. I am sick and tired of vulnerable computer users having their privacy and security compromised, and I don’t want you to be the next victim. You should scan your system as soon as possible and get rid of this threat. Protect yourself and your family!

Of course there are circumstances where making fun is not really appropriate. If your loved one’s life is in jeopardy and may not be a good idea to send in a silly card that is making jokes. On the other hand, if the prognosis is good and your loved one is certain to make a full recovery, a humorous card might put a smile on their face and help relieve the boredom of lying there in a hospital room.

When you’re picking out a card it’s important to really know the sense of humor of the person that will be receiving the card. If you’re trying to cheer someone up its recovering from an injury or illness the last thing you would want to do is insult them and send them something they would find offensive. Some people are not easily offended and would find a raunchy or distasteful card hilarious. Others would prefer something cute with cartoon characters or animals on it. If you know the person really well you should be familiar with their sense of humor but they still have the task of picking out a card.

If you’re buying a get well card from the local grocery store your selection may be limited. It’s not always easy to find the “perfect card” with such a limited selection. To find a good selection of really funny get well cards you may want to go online.
