Alcatel One Touch Unveils ONE TOUCH Premiere

IBI - Multi-National Insurance & financial
trading company
Israel Brokerage & Investments (IBI), Ltd. A leading company listed in The Israeli Stock Exchange Market offers a broad range of investment management and trading. One of the biggest fears a company can experience is complete operation shut down during disaster. Last year, IBI Investments, experienced this exact situation when a floor of their building (below them) caught on fire. Fortunately all the workers were able to exit safely. Even more fortunately, the Tikal Networks IP-PBX and Crystal Call Center was hosted in a remote location. Tikal Networks developed a unique feature called "remote agent". This feature gives every user the ability to call from a remote location and use all the features available at their desk. This gives any user the ability to keep on working without any change in features or operations. To assure complete uninterrupted operation, IBI's IT management also took the precaution to host the telephony system off the premises. This way, no single event can prevent the operation from regular operation.

Unlike iPhone 4S, The New iPad Receives a Quiet Premiere in China

Is the new iPad somehow less worthy of an unruly mob than the iPhone 4S? Judging from the very quiet and by the numbers launch of the new iPad today in China, it would seem to be the case.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the new iPad launched without much of a hitch in China on Friday, sans the "unruly buyers and sullen crowds" that turned out several months back for the iPhone 4S.

"Roughly 40 customers quietly lined up Friday morning outside the Apple Store in Beijing’s high-end Sanlitun shopping and restaurant district," the report said. "They waited within a cordon surrounded security personnel and reporters. Store doors opened at 8 a.m. without disturbances.

"Sales at Apple’s other four company-branded retail stores in China also appeared to go smoothly," the report added.

That pales in comparison to the debut of the iPhone 4S back in January, which forced Apple to briefly suspend sales of the iconic handset in Chinese stores after "unruly customers" forced police to rope off that area of the Sanlitun mall. A similar situation in May, 2011 over the white iPhone 4 found store managers locking the doors after customers "scuffled with employees."

So how did Apple manage to curb the anxious enthusiasm of the Chinese masses?

"For the launch of the new iPad, Apple instituted a system new to the location in which buyers were required to take reservations beginning on Thursday, the day before the launch," the report reveals. "Customers were then given a set time to pick up their devices."

That seems downright civilized compared to the recent trademark spat over the iPad name that kept the third-generation tablet from launching in China.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Review

by Steve Paris 0Comments

When Apple released Final Cut Pro X last year, many veterans were up in arms. FCPX wasn’t just an update to the program they’d come to rely on--it was a complete departure from what they were used to. You either loved it or hated it, and Adobe was only too pleased to welcome new clients to its platform. With Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe is working very hard to make sure its clientele stays put.

The entire interface has been redesigned. Everything is centered around the editing process with very large Source and Program monitors at the top, and huge thumbnails in the browser section. Although they take up a lot more room, the thumbnails are extremely useful for seeing at a glance which clip you want, and Adobe took a page from iMovie and Final Cut Pro X, letting you mouse over a clip to skim through your footage. It also does one better: click the clip to reveal a small timeline. Drag a clip’s playhead to look through it, and if you’ve already set In and Out points, they’ll appear there as well--this functionality almost makes the Source monitor redundant.
