Not too long ago we used to pull out our phones just to call a friend, or read a text. Today, we use our mobile phones for just about anything. Chief among these activities is social interaction. During sporting events, this urge to relate to others hits a fever pitch, thanks to platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
There’s an undeniable edge to bringing your own device (BYOD) to work. It makes everything more productive and less complicated, this is what company’s employees think. How about IT departments? When using VoipNow Mobile, they are all happy. And to make them even happier, a couple of days ago we released VoipNow Mobile 2.0 that comes with video support, crystal clear HD voice even in difficult network conditions, and enhanced privacy for both voice and video calls.

It is often said that we lose our innocence when we grow up. While undoubtedly true, this isn’t the only trait we shake off as we venture into adulthood.
Children are innocent not just through their small stature or their inability to judge certain actions, but also through their sincerity.

In this respect, the late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata trusted the young demographic as a good indicator of the company’s direction.

nomad
/ˈnəʊmad/
noun
a member of a people that travels from place to place to find fresh pasture for its animals and has no permanent home.
Many things can push you to leave your nest, regardless of time and place. Thousands of years ago people did it out of necessity – to feed their livestock, shy away from cold winters, sell merchandise, hunt, colonize new lands, etc. Today, despite living in cozy apartments surrounded by technology and automation, people still do it.

The number of smartphone subscriptions will surpass those of basic phones as early as next year, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report, released last month. That number is expected to more than double by 2020, from 2.6 billion to 6.1 billion.

Is the product that you’re about to deploy user friendly, interoperable, scalable? Is your company waiting for others to take the plunge to consider new technology safe or viable? Does the product require radical infrastructure modifications to be deployed? These are just some of the questions that need to be asked when scouring the market for Unified Communications & Collaboration solutions.
What is Unified Communications anyway? Ask ten different people and you’re likely to get ten different answers. The reality is that UC has been waiting on the launch pad for well over a decade, and yet only a handful of industries have managed to wrap their heads around it. How did they do it? Simple. By asking these questions before buying.

No one likes to be pressured into making a decision. But if there’s still time to resolve whether or not to do something, it’s best to use it until the very last second. There’s nothing like taking a chance that isn’t worth taking.
Weighing the risks against the rewards is a crucial aspect in decision making. The famous Stanley Kubrick lived by this rule:

As the oil underneath the Earth’s crust continues to run dry, the transportation industry is forced to devise ever-smarter ways to propel their passengers from point A to point B. Speaking of the letter B, Boeing is not wasting any time.
Among the many applications that aim to reinvent the jet engine, Boeing’s latest attempt is nothing short of ambitious. Not only is their ‘Laser-Powered Propulsion System‘ clean and efficient, it also promises to make new inroads into space travel.
