September 21, 2018Having a mobile app is crucial for business development, but only if it’s done correctly. Often times, businesses invest in mobile app development and actually hurt their reputation through poor management and design. While a good app developer can strongly supplement a business’s success, a bad one can severely damage its consumer base. Here are several costly mistakes to avoid for a new mobile app. Focusing On The Short Term Apps are great tools for marketing and can help you increase awareness. However, sometimes people expect far too much from their new mobile app development. Apps take time to gain prominence, and a lot of work goes into promotion. When you first launch your app, don’t expect a steep rise in downloads right away. Instead, work on getting the word out and improving its navigation, readability and experience. Additionally, try not to expect the app to turn a profit in the short term. Under 2% of apps make money on their own. Focus on building a solid foundation for your app and improving it over time. Pushing Too Many Notifications While it’s true that an app can help you keep in contact with customers, it’s also true that too much communication can hurt your business. Too many notifications can cause annoyance, and a lot of pop-ups or advertisements are just as frustrating. Customers will like your app if it adds value and convenience to their daily life. In this case, less is more. Keep your design simple and attractive. Only enable push notifications when necessary. Don’t be tempted to add flash and fluff to your app, or your users will get irritated. Ignoring The Analytical Data Apps can give your business a huge amount of information pertaining to users. The data they collect can show you what demographics use your app,...

September 3, 2018Windows Operating System, Developed by Microsoft is one of the most used operating systems from its very first day to its latest version release, i.e. Windows 10. After it was first launched, Windows not only became a major and most successful product of Microsoft, but it also plays a significant role in making Microsoft a billion-dollar company in just a couple of years. Earlier a new version of Windows would launch in years but time has changed now. With Windows 10, you may see the latest updates in just months and sometimes even in weeks. This is all the part of the change in strategy which Microsoft is following not only to get their faded shine but also to grab more user base from Macintosh. However, the interesting part is, the shift in strategy is working – Microsoft is not only making more money than ever before, but they are also able to grab over 700 million Windows 10 users successfully. In a press release, the chief executing officer of Microsoft Satya Nadella said: “We had an incredible year, surpassing $100 billion in revenue as a result of our teams’ relentless focus on customer success and the trust customers are placing in Microsoft. These are all the right signs and gave an assurance that the company is on the right path. But with every new windows version or a new update, there comes some problems and issues which leave the user frustrated. Hence today to solve this problem or at least minimize it to an extent, in this article, we’re going to talk about the Different Windows 10 issues and their solutions. So, let’s dive into it without any due. Problem 01: Not able to install Windows update on Windows 10. Solution 01: This problem might occur when your windows...

Recently I have been checking out new phone systems with Skype for Business being end of life in April of 2019. The one thing I noticed about Skype for Business is the complexity of the setup for use. You need to login to the admin portal of Office365 and purchase Skype for Business Online (Plan 2) for $12 dollars a month. Then you need to buy a calling plan for Skype for Business Domestic Calling Plan for $12 a month or Domestic and International Calling Plan for $24.00 month. As I looked more into Skype I noticed really how outdated the platform is compared to others in the same space. Ring Central is the standard for cloud phone systems and they integrate natively with Office365 and Skype. The one thing I did notice is easy and simple Ring Central was to set up compared to Skype for Business. Ring Central was much more feature rich offering SMS messaging, call routing and a large variety of desk phones. Skype does not offer SMS messaging at all so I thought well since Skype for Business is going to be aged out I will use Microsoft Teams for a phone system but again there is no SMS messaging, limited features and a small choice of IP Phones. To me with Microsoft aging out Skype for Business and the push for users to move to Microsoft Teams I was surprised at the limitations of the platform especially SMS messaging. Even free Google Voice offers SMS messaging and they are a service you do not pay for monthly at a commercial level. I just find that yes Microsoft Teams is the future but its stuck with the same limitations that Skype for Business is I don’t understand why Microsoft would do this and to top this...

Video game 3D modeling has evolved tremendously over the past decade. Today’s graphics intensive games are driven by high detailed models with variables that mimic real-world physics. Three-dimensional 3D models by their very definition are comprised of three dimensions what that means is you can spin the object up and down or around with the ability to see every aspect of it. For instance, in most modern games you can walk around a castle, tree or another character and examine every aspect of it. Modern day video games are a graphics intensive affair. The process is a lot like a city planner and a team of architects designing a conceptual city. 3D game design usually kicks of by defining various shapes of ordinary objects, followed by injecting colors and textures. However, the guts of the game (so to speak) is when the 3d models are placed in the scene. Though before that can happen a team of 3D modelers need to craft a highly realistic 3d model. The most common video game 3d modeling software To create a 3D model, you’ll need to use a modeling software. The good news is that there are many to choose from and the latest versions are a lot easier, with more features, and yet they still require that you understand their ins and outs. Most video game designers or model designers will use any one or a combo of the after-mentioned software: Blender: A lot of today’s video game 3D modeling is done using Blender. One reason for this is that it is open source and free to use. However, it is more complex to learn and relies significantly on keyboard shortcuts as opposed to point and click style modeling. 3Ds Max: Now this one has been around since the early days, and...

April 18, 2018I don’t know what it is about Skype it’s just one product I can’t seem to move away from for my daily needs. I travel a lot for my job and places I go sometimes don’t have the best cell service or people I am working with need face to face meeting. My first issue has been and will always be cell phone reception. Places I go to generally have Wi-Fi coverage but when you’re deep in the basement of a building, in middle of a huge hospital or at an event center cell phone coverage is always an issue. I find myself many times needing to call support numbers with no cell phone service present. Most places don’t allow Wi-Fi calling on iPhones and Androids but using Skype is fine at these places mainly because they are Microsoft owned and considered secure. The other issue is usually my laptop is connected to Wi-Fi and you can use Skype to call a landline number as well. The other reason I use Skype is for meetings and conference calls. I know it sounds kind nuts but since Microsoft is putting Skype on all Windows 10 machines this has been great for me when it comes to setting up meetings. I know a lot of readers have said just use FaceTime the issue is many of my clients are Android users and FaceTime only allows one video chat at a time there is no group video chat capability. I have tried many alternatives to Skype over the years for just video calls with Android users Hangouts is great but it does not support landline calling the same goes for the WhatsApp. I have found ooVoo and Viber as alternatives to Skype with some limitations that keep me from making the switch. ooVoo...
