Bamboo Flooring – Modernizing the Basics

It was well proven that bamboos can produce endless products with the use of its natural parts. Nowadays, flooring manufacturing companies are making a lot of money with bamboo floors. So what are the advantages of using bamboo as your flooring material? And if you are interested in getting installing one at home, how can you choose the right flooring?
Knowing the following facts could help you a lot in choosing:
1. When mentioning bamboo flooring, many are thinking that installing them would make their houses edgy and uneven due to the bamboo’s canes that are often installed parallel with each other. However, technology made bamboo floors look and feel like your normal laminate or wood floorings.
2. Bamboos can fully grow within a much lesser time as opposed to other soft-wood providers. You don’t have to worry about having to replace your flooring with new materials every so often.
3. Compared to other hardwood planks, bamboo flooring does not bloat or shrink, even after being exposed to too much moisture or high temperature. With this, many architects recommend using bamboo floorings for bathrooms or rooms with heat floorings.
4. Using bamboos as your floorings instead of some endangered species of lumber would help reduce environmental imbalance. Also, as what was mentioned earlier, bamboos grow quickly. Hence, using them as flooring would gradually decrease the rate of deforestation in forests and timberlands.
During these days when everyone is trying to make a way to take care of our sick planet, bamboo floors should definitely be one of your choices when selecting your home’s finishing.…

PlayStation 2 Video Games – A Closer Look

PlayStation 2 video games were the bees-knees back before the arrival of the PlayStation 3 and the competitive Xbox 360. Now they’re a much underrated relic of gaming history, and are put aside for the much more expensive PS3 and Xbox360 games. But who needs the extra graphics? Who needs the modern gaming? Anyone who knew the joy of PlayStation 2 in its day will easily play PS2 games and have just as much fun as on any newer console. So let us look at some of the best PS2 games, so that we can buy them at ridiculously cheap prices and smite the modern game developers.

The Final Fantasy games are eternal, evergreen, cult following games, and anyone who became hooked on them at their birth, or even later on the newer consoles, will no doubt still enjoy them just as much on a PlayStation 2. The last proper installment on PS2 was Final Fantasy XII. It was a huge advancement in graphics and playability, with nearly endless amounts of game-play time, and can be picked up for a meager price compared to the game time offered.

If you’re a soccer fan, you will know that the game rules do not change all that often. And, not surprisingly, neither do the console versions of the game. The graphics can only go so far when rendering a field from above, and the controls are generally kept as they are. So, although new games are released every year, you would be better off simply sticking to a good old PlayStation 2 version. What’s the difference?

But if these games don’t grab your attention, look out for some of the other PS2 classics. There’s Jak 3, for quirky, challenging and other worldly missions; Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, for a comprehensive experience of the Metal Gear experience; Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, that classic open world, sadistic game-play crammed with hundreds of missions in the unique and hilarious San Andreas environment; and, lastly, Burnout 3, for high-octane, unreal, speed-crazed fun that lasts all the way up until the caffeine in your system wears off.

To find PlayStation 2 video games you would be best off looking them up on Amazon, but, if you’re eager to score a good deal, try bidding on Ebay, as there are tones of people looking to sell some of their old games and consoles. So, if you want a cheap, fun gaming experience, look no further than PlayStation 2 games.…

Making the Pitch for VoIP Hosted PBX

When developing your proposal for upgrading to VoIP, I’m sure you were smart and included the obvious pros: cost savings, flexibility, and portability. These benefits are great, but stakeholders tend to worry about other issues. Having answers to the following three questions can help your case for implementing VoIP hosted PBX.

What Will Our Clients Think?

Many non-technical business owners consider technology a necessary evil. They realize that advancements in technology can make business function better and with more productivity. The “evil” part for some business owners is the perception of switching to a new technology. In regard to hosted PBX VoIP, business owners are very concerned about how their customers perceive digital answer systems. In the traditional scenario, a business has a receptionist to answer each and every call. People like and have become accustomed to hearing a human voice at the other end of the line.

For small operations with two or three departments, an auto attendant should not provide too much annoyance. An auto attendant, also referred to as a digital receptionist, is an answering system that offers callers a menu of options for making their desired connection, and routes the call to that endpoint. Businesses can usually customize the auto attendant to fit their needs.

If your business has more than a couple of departments, the concern about call answering being impersonal may be legitimate. If the business wants do without a human voice to answer each and every call, you will have to convince them that auto attendant is the best way to go. This really isn’t a difficult feat. The following are just a few of the benefits of using auto attendant:

Always Available – You can set up an auto attendant to answer your calls 24 hours, 7 days a week. Client calls are always answered.

Never Overloaded – The auto attendant is capable of responding to and routing multiple calls at once. Customers are never on hold for very long.

Professional – You can customize the auto attendant greeting.

Is VoIP Stable?

Businesses rely on the satisfaction of their clients to stay in business. Securing client relationships hinges on every part of business-clients can experience one issue with a business and swear never to do business with them ever again. We all understand the frustrations of phone quality issues. The quality issues that are common with VoIP phone service tend to be associated with residential-class VoIP service. Business-class service providers typically implement extra quality measures to ensure call quality remains stable. Quality of Service (QoS) is an example. VoIP service providers that integrate QoS employ a monitoring system that constantly inspects the network connection and ensures that priority traffic takes precedence. Of course, you should also emphasize your own knowledge of VoIP and the ability to choose a service provider that meets the needs of the business.

Is VoIP Secure?

Since VoIP occurs over an Internet connection, business stakeholders are justified in worrying about confidential information being exposed to unscrupulous individuals. Just as using your desktop to connect to the Internet has risks; using a VoIP phone system can open your business up to attacks from devious network malefactors lurking about networks. Protecting your data is serious business and the assurances you can offer should be tied to the service provider you choose. VoIP service providers are very aware of security issues and many are making notable efforts to lessen the risk of an infringement of your privacy. Most Business Class VoIP service providers are typically capable of mitigating common VoIP security issues such as phreaking, eavesdropping, SPam over Internet Telephony (SPIT), and identity fraud.…
