Lord of the Net Says “No” to Poor Customer Service
Lord of the Net Says “No” to Poor Customer Service
Rocklin, CA (PRWEB) March 02, 2012
“When I first began to use the Internet as a means for buying computer parts and accessories, companies were smaller than they are now,” said Lord of the Net’s founder and President, “and I always knew that I could find someone to talk to if I had a question or purchased a part that didn’t function properly. As these companies grew, I started to feel less like a valued customer and more like a number on a balance sheet.” In response LoTN LLC is opening it’s new online electronics and computer store LoTN – Lord of The Net!
Internet-based companies often become strained as their sales volume grows; the need to keep a variety of products in stock increases purchasing costs and cuts into customer service budgets. Some companies resort to impersonal and ineffective methods of support, such as overseas call centers that may have limited product knowledge. Lord of the Net wants to do better than that.
“To put it bluntly, I turned Lord of the Net into a computer parts and accessories company because I’d had too many awful experiences as a customer,” Lord of the Net’s founder continued. “I felt it was time for someone to step up and set a new standard for customer service in this industry.”
Lord of the Net sells a variety of computer parts for customers ranging from individuals to large businesses, including complete desktop and rack mount systems, processors, storage devices and memory. Regardless of the customer or purchase size, the company’s goal is to provide comprehensive, individualized service that larger computer companies abandoned long ago. Being an Intel Gold Partner and having relationships with some of the industry’s largest manufacturers such as Lenovo, ASUS, Western Digital and Seagate, Lord of the Net has the ability to maintain a stock of the latest components at the most competitive prices online.
Visit http://www.lordofthe.net to buy computer parts and shop online for products from Intel, AMD, D-Link, ViewSonic, Acer, Samsung, Western Digital, Seagate, OCZ and other leading computer hardware manufacturers.

More Fraud Protection Needed on eBay
More Fraud Protection Needed on eBay
(PRWEB) February 27, 2006
Strictly embargoed until Saturday 25 February 2006 at 00:01 hrs

eBay: buyer beware
eBay should be more proactive in the fight against fraud, says Computing Which?
eBay-related fraud is occurring at an alarming rate. About 130 crimes* citing eBay are reported in London every month to the Metropolitan Police. This level of crime is thought to be mirrored across the UK.
eBay does take measures to protect its customers. For example, all auction pages contain a Safety Centre link. But finding the tiny text link at the foot of the page is “like looking for a needle in a haystack”, according to one researcher.
Police welcome eBay’s anti-fraud measures, such as secure payment service PayPal.** But these measures can only go so far and educating people on the dangers of eBay is equally important. Winning an auction might feel like a victory, but the prize is a chance to buy unseen goods from a total stranger.
And the risk of fraud is increasing; according to the police, criminals are turning away from activities such as drugs and robbery in favour of high-volume, low-risk crime such as that found on eBay.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Dark of the Met is working with eBay in the fight against fraud and encouraging them to be proactive, rather than just reacting to illegal or fraudulent transactions after the event.
Jessica Ross, editor, Computing Which?, says:
“Many people see eBay as a bit of fun, like Friends Reunited, and no one’s denying that it’s quick and easy to use. But there’s plenty of opportunity for criminals to cash in too.
“eBay needs to educate people about the dangers of using the site. This 21st century car boot sale attracts more than a few dodgy characters and gangs can ‘earn’ huge amounts defrauding everyday eBayers.”
Computing Which? calls on eBay to:
Be proactive in identifying illegal or counterfeit items for sale on its site
Warn customers about the dangers of fraud
Stop the unlicensed selling of medical products such as contact lenses
Make the Safety Centre prominent on auction pages
There is more information about this story at Which? News http://www.which.co.uk/news/computersandinternet/06/feb/ebay-fraudreport.html

Notes to editors
*129 crimes specifically mentioning eBay were reported in London to the Metropolitan Police’s economic crime unit Sterling every month in the 18 months til October 2005.
**PayPal is much safer than money transfers. The service, owned by eBay, allows customers to send and receive money online without giving bank account or credit card details to strangers.
The full article contains advice on how to stay safe on eBay. For a copy of the article, contact Martin Chapman.

Acer Canada Secures Five-Year Contract with Wolf Creek Public Schools
Mississauga, ONTARIO (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
Acer Canada today announced that it has been selected by Wolf Creek Public Schools to provide the district with a range of computer systems for students, faculty and staff in a contract that spans the next five-years. The agreement calls for Acer Canada to provide the district with Chromebooks, notebooks, desktop PCs and displays.
The school district will begin to deploy Acer systems this summer for the 2014-2015 school year. The initial roll-out will include up to 5,000 of Acer’s award-winning C720 Chromebook for use by students in 1:1 programs and in computer labs. The Chromebooks will be used by K-12 students at elementary, middle and high schools as well as in district learning centers.
Currently, Wolf Creek Public Schools allow students to bring in devices to support their learning. The school district plans to implement a purchase program whereby parents can purchase Acer C720 Chromebooks for their child through the district by making regular payments.
Over the next five years, Acer will also provide the district with TravelMate Pro notebook PCs, Veriton L4630 desktop PCs and B-Series monitors for use in classrooms, speciality learning labs, as well as by administration and staff.
Wolf Creek is a recognized technology and educational leader in Alberta school divisions in the area of purposeful technology integration within teaching and learning and often advises other school boards in Alberta and other provinces on the latest technology deployments.
“Our partnership with manufacturers, vendors and resellers is important to us, as we’re viewed as a leader in implementing technology that enhances the education of our K-12 students,” said Mark McWhinnie, Assistant Superintendent (Technology Services) for Wolf Creek Public Schools. “As a result, we’re often asked for advice around educational technologies from our colleagues throughout Canada. We chose Acer for both its experience with the latest technology and wide range of flexible service and support structures. We’re confident that working with Acer, we’ll be able to provide solid technology solutions for our students, administration and staff to further advance our vision of ‘Creating Success for All Learners’ in Wolf Creek Public Schools.”
An important component of Wolf Creek Public Schools’ selection of Acer was the company’s wide range of flexible service offerings. Acer’s extensive services and warranty options are offered at an excellent value to protect the investment the school is making. Acer is also able to provide product support to Wolf Creek Public Schools via its depot services, on-site at schools or through local dealers.
“We are honored to work with Wolf Creek Public Schools as they use Acer technology products to make a significant impact on the education of their students,” said John Way, Sales Manager, Western Canada, Acer Canada. “Acer Chromebooks have been incredibly well received by schools that need a cost-effective, easy-to-manage way to introduce technology to their students. In addition, the rest of the line including our TravelMate Pro notebooks and Veriton desktop PCs will keep students in labs, as well as district’s faculty and staff, access to the latest in Windows-based computers for work and studies.”
Like all of Acer’s education and business customers, Wolf Creek Public Schools are eligible for Acer’s Premier Service and Support from the company’s North America-based service operation. The district will receive dedicated Acer Premier Service and Support via their own direct phone number into the Acer level 2 support call center, which automatically places them at the head of the call queue. The Acer Educare Warranty Programs further protects the investment of Acer computers and displays with solutions such as battery replacement, paid two-way shipping, and accidental damage protection.
Acer is the No. 1 vendor in Canada for notebooks and the country’s No. 3 overall PC provider.(1) More information about Acer and its products in Canada can be found at http://www.acer.ca.

New at Summit Racing Equipment: PIAA Lighting
New at Summit Racing Equipment: PIAA Lighting
Tallmadge, OH (PRWEB) December 03, 2014
PIAA designs and makes a large range of halogen and high-intensity LED driving lights, fog lights, off-road lighting, and bulbs for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Summit Racing offers a large selection of PIAA lighting products.
510 SMR Series Driving and Fog Lights
The 510 Series lights feature PIAA’s Super Multi-Surface Reflector (SMR) Technology and a computer-designed glass lens that create an extremely focused, long range light pattern. The 510 SMR Series lights have durable stamped steel housings and 55 watt Xtreme White halogen bulbs, and are sized to fit in the driving/fog light openings on many late model cars. The lights come with a wiring harness, a relay, a switch, and two mesh-style covers.
Xtreme White Plus Bulbs
These PIAA Xtreme White Plus light bulbs operate at 4,000 degrees Kelvin to provide a brilliant cool light that will light up road hazards and street signs long before a normal halogen bulb will. That bright light also provides improved depth perception and contrast compared to OE halogen bulbs. Summit Racing offers Xtreme White Plus bulbs for headlamps, fog/driving lights, taillights, turn signals, and other vehicle lighting.
800 HID Off-Road Driving Lamp
The 800 HID driving lamp was developed from experience working with World Rally Championship (WRC) race teams. The lamp has a computer-designed, multi-surface reflector to produce a very focused, long range 20° beam pattern—perfect for lighting a narrow trail or fire road. The 800 HID Lamp has a black stamped steel housing, a chrome plated trim ring, and a glass lens. A ballast is included. Definitely not for highway use.
1100X Sport/Touring Lamp Kits
If any vehicle needs some extra lighting help, it’s a motorcycle. These kits feature PIAA’s 1100X halogen driving lights with 55 watt Super White halogen bulbs that put out a strong white light with a 35° beam pattern to illuminate the road ahead. A wiring harness, relay, and switch are included. The 1100X Sport/Touring Lamp Kits are available for Honda, Ducati, and BMW touring bikes.
Summit Racing also carries other PIAA lights and bulbs plus silicone wiper blades, horns, light covers, and wiring harnesses.

Revamped CCTV Site Returns with New Products
Revamped CCTV Site Returns with New Products
Amsterdam (PRWEB) June 01, 2014
Revamped CCTV site returns with new products.
Online Camera Shop is pleased to announce they have recently reworked their webpage to make it much more user-friendly while continuing to offer the same great CCTV products at low prices.
Simon van Rooij, owner of Online Camera Shop, still holds to the same ideals that helped his business be successful: excellent value, fast shipping and a large array of products.
van Rooij has added many new CCTV products in addition to the updated and revised website.
HDCVI
HDCVI is a high definition composite video interface system that is perfect for a home or commercial property.
Recording in 720p or 1080p is quick and simple.
Expandable up to 500 meters, HDCVI uses a coaxial cable for maximum reach. Standard SDI cameras are limited to 100 meters. This additional reach means added security for personal properties. Commercial industries should see a drop in insurance because of the increased coverage as well.
WIRELESS CCTV
In the past, thieves only had to snip wires and had full access to a business with no fear of repercussion or being caught. The new wireless CCTV systems have virtually done away with this, but many wise thieves were able to find the computers that stored the images and data as well. This meant consumers with CCTV protection were often at a loss trying to recover stolen property and goods.
“The advent of cloud storage and P2P networks have made wireless systems the best option to protect a home or business,” said van Rooij.
All that is necessary is a computer, wireless Internet and images are quick and easy to see. There is also an app available for a smartphone, so users can get updates almost instantly.
Retirement facilities and elderly care homes will also find the new wireless systems to be ideal. Each monitor can record video and sound, so keeping an eye on loved ones is easier than ever.
“It is also ideal for children and babies,” said van Rooij.
Those who are looking for options that are more economic will find the 720p options to be less stressful on the wallet. Promising virtually all of the same features as the 1080p products, the 720p camera systems work equally well.
SDI CAMERAS
Those who need the best possible coverage in security cameras will find the new SDI HDMI goldplated CCTV camera to exceed their expectations.
This new 3.0MP CCTV camera has all of the best possible features of the highest priced CCTV cameras with a price that is very competitive.
SPY CAMERAS
Some cameras are very obvious, and thieves have learned ways to avoid them carefully. The best possible option are the options that no one recognizes. The current line of spy cameras offered from Online Camera Shop look like innocuous flood lights, but they conceal a powerful camera that shoots 720p.
“The new line of spy cameras also come with wireless P2P cloud options as well,” said van Rooij.
van Rooij also offers discounts to professional installation companies and installers.
Use the contact page for additional information on the discounts.
Additional information, including technical specifications on all products is available at the website. Visit http://www.onlinecamerashop.nl for more. The page is available in English and Dutch.

MinuteHound Releases New Software That Helps Bike Messengers Keep on Track and on Time
MinuteHound Releases New Software That Helps Bike Messengers Keep on Track and on Time
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 16, 2013
MinuteHound is excited to release a new product dedicated to efficiently maintaining a fleet of bicycles while keeping costs low. The new program ensures riders complete timely deliveries while also reducing waste. Using the time clock software is a cost-effective method of providing rapid delivery and maintaining accountability in urban environments clogged by excessive traffic. The program also allows individual riders to operate their own businesses successfully as sole proprietors.
Necessarily, the speed with which deliveries are made, the most efficient use of time, and accuracy are the three chief attributes in the competitive marketplace. After all, the services provided are largely the same. MinuteHound’s timeclock software and fingerprint scanner are already a fixture at many businesses looking to reduce the costs of timecard fraud, inaccurate payroll, and record keeping supplies. Bicycle messengers and deliverers offer a new and interesting way to use their excellent equipment.
MinuteHound touts its plug-and-play design, which makes the system not only easy but also flexible. The fingerprint scanner plugs into any computer with a USB port. Another advantage is that it maintains its time information in the cloud; managers can access it from any computer with an Internet connection. Combining these two advantages with the portability of an Internet-capable, full-sized laptop make MinuteHound’s software portable, which is ideal for riders on bikes. The scanner gets its power through the USB connection, so a laptop outfitted with a Windows operating system will fire it up as soon as it is connected.
MinuteHound states the idea is for the rider to arrive, make his or her item or information delivery, and then scan his or her fingerprint to mark the exact time. It is also a simple matter to add signature gathering software on the laptop; this has the added benefit of creating not only an easy-to-manage manifest but also ready-made performance assessments on timeliness and accuracy, which, in turn, provide instant testimonials on the performance of both the business and the rider. Both riders and businesses can use the generated data to prove their timeliness and accuracy whenever they advertise to new clientele. No matter how trustworthy or personable someone is in convincing someone of something, nothing beats cold, hard facts and performance reports.
MinuteHound’s software still has the same additional features that have made it as popular as it is in the business world. It still has 128-bit encryption for the scanned fingerprints and still breaks up the scanned fingerprint data into four distinct packets and sends them to servers in four different locations. The system also maintains accurate payroll information for either hourly or “by delivery” payment. Employee vacation tracking is also easy by using an online based application.

Jesse N. Hill III Brings Award-Winning Business Coaching to San Diego?s North County with The Growth Coach
Jesse N. Hill III Brings Award-Winning Business Coaching to San Diego’s North County with The Growth Coach
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 02, 2014
Jesse Hill has been mentoring and consulting for his entire professional life. From serving as a leader and mentor in the US Navy to consulting a variety of companies in his civilian career, Jesse has valued his role in helping individuals and companies improve and meet their goals. Jesse is now looking forward to bringing that experience to his new business, The Growth Coach of San Diego North County.
The Growth Coach of San Diego North County serves San Diego, Cardiff, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista and Escondido.
“If you want to positively impact the economy, you have to help create more jobs. When you’re a business coach, it all comes down to helping business owners and leaders find ways to build their businesses, create jobs and build a stronger economy locally and nationwide. I’m excited about doing that here in San Diego North County,” Jesse said.
The Growth Coach, the #1 business and sales coaching franchise in the country last year according to Entrepreneur Magazine, is dedicated to helping business leaders, small business owners, sales people and self-employed professionals find success at work and balance in life. Growth Coaches offer workshops, one-to-one coaching services, remote coaching delivered via phone and web, and coaching for special projects as well as alternative financing, business valuation services, web coaching, sales mapping and more.
Jesse served in the US Navy for more than decade before transitioning into consulting, where he worked with business owners, executives and managers of companies of all sizes to help them implement the changes they needed to move their business to the next level. His consulting skills have benefited companies including Brandes Investment Partners, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, Avatech Solutions, Guru and Universal Computer Systems. Jesse is also the president of CAVU Enterprises, a small business investment, consulting and management organization in San Diego.
“In the Navy I spent my last tour of duty as an instructor at the Navy’s S-3B training command teaching and preparing young sailors for the rigors of combat flying. After my Naval career, I built a training and development department for a financial services company here in San Diego helping more than 350 people develop the skills they needed to be successful in their careers,” Jesse said.
From there Jesse launched his career as a technology consultant where he had the opportunity to help small and medium-sized business owners integrate new technologies to advance their business capabilities. During that time he also helped lead the expansion of a small e-commerce solutions company, recruiting, hiring, training and developing their sales force and leading sales teams to record breaking performance.
“My entire life has been committed to consulting, mentoring and leading. People have always felt comfortable coming to me with their challenges and goals and helping them is something for which I’ve developed a true passion. I’m at a point in my career now that I can do what I love – coach,” Jesse said.
Although he has vast experience in consulting and mentoring, Jesse decided to franchise with The Growth Coach because of the company’s world-class coaching programs and business support.
“If you ever wanted someone to look out for your best interests and help you to be more successful while finding balance, that’s me. I genuinely care about the goals and successes of my clients and the intrinsic value of business coaching is immeasurable. The Growth Coach provides me with the opportunity to work within my community to help the true heroes of our economy, our small and medium business owners, to achieve their personal and professional goals. I can’t think of a better way to spend the rest of my working life than helping those around me achieve their dreams,” Jesse said.
Janet Conn, who worked with Jesse at Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, is excited about how his skills will transition into business coaching.
“Jesse is that rare combination of manager and thought leader. He has the ability to inspire his reports, stakeholders and peers with his enthusiasm, subject matter expertise and ability to ask targeted questions. His communication style is candid, good humored and professional. In a word: authentic,” she said.
The Growth Coach was founded in 2003, but the company’s leaders have a 20 year track record of successful business coaching. Recently, the franchise was included in Bond’s “Top 100 Franchises” and has been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Franchise 500,” “Best of the Best” and “Top Home-Based Business” listings.
