Various Bay Area news outlets have
reported that there have been a spate of violent attacks this year along the San
Francisco Muni T-Line have. In one of the attacks, the attackers were identified
because there were security cameras around. Unfortunately in another attack, no
one was identified because no cameras were present. This example illustrates how
security cameras can play an important role in crime issues. Security camera
systems not only help to catch criminal acts, but they help to deter criminal
acts form occurring in the first place. Especially in this economic recession,
aren't you longing for that peace of mind knowing your assets, property, and
especially family are protected? Central Computers, the surveillance camera
expert, is ready to help you.

Dell loses New
York Lawsuit |
| |
|
| |
By Mike Mruzik |
| |
|
|
By now if you pay attention to
computer news, you might have heard Dell recently lost the lawsuit against it
filed by New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. The gist of the lawsuit
could be found here.
( http://www.oag.state.ny.us/press/2007/may/may16a_07.html
)
While this can be encouraging news
for many of Michael Dell's competitors, it is also a cautionary tale in computer
service. Every businessman running a computer company is trying to balance the
quality of their work, the service they provide, and the prices and practices
they use in order to stay in business. It can be very daunting and certainly
take a lot of work to engineer your company for the changes that come from
success and rapid growth. You can easily slide down a slope of promising
something you cannot deliver cheaply within your budget.
I will make no allusions; Dell is a
large competitor of ours and has at times taken business we could have had. But
this only re-enforces our work ethic to provide quality and service above and
beyond what Dell provides. We are honest with our customers in this respect; we
will work harder to stand by our industry standard products. Price is something
we strive to compete with always, but service and reliability are just as
important, and you cannot sacrifice service or quality for the sake of price
without risking these problems. |

The Asus Eee PC
900 8.9" is coming |
|
|
|
By Kevin
Brasher |
|
|
|
Small. That's pretty
much the main reaction when people see the new Asus Eee PC. Now with an
increased screen size of 8.9" and weighing only 2.18 lbs, this laptop can be
carried in almost any bag, with minimum hassle. This laptop is made for almost
any user, no matter how vast or limited their knowledge of computers is.
Preloaded with Linux, the interface is very easy to use, and if that isn't your
preference, have no fear! |
|
|
The Eee PC can be
purchased with Windows XP preloaded. The XP version will have 12 GB of hard
drive space and the Linux will have a beefy 20 GB. Speaking of the hard drive,
the Eee PC uses a solid-state drive instead of a traditional hard disk drive.
This means the drive is able to take a lot more abuse from bumps and shakes, and
keep on kicking. |
|
|
|
Other great items that come with
this laptop are;
- WiFi 802.11 g/b
- Multi Card reader
- Built in Webcam
Pros:
- Compact form factor allows device
to fit almost anywhere
- Very easy to use for any type of
user
- Available in Windows
XP
