The Software Behind the Final Four - 0 views

  •  
    As Klein explains, he has 63 different schedules saved in an online event management system. One schedule covers all the transportation of the buses; another covers the signs and décor; another keeps track of the officials; and so on, and so on. The same system lets security guards know if they should let someone into an arena, and lets the people managing the court know which equipment must be in place for the halftime show. Folks like Dropbox, Box, Asana, Yammer/SharePoint from Microsoft, and Basecamp all solve parts of the project management equation. Still, Frei contends that using a spreadsheet as the basis of task management is the company's edge since it gives people a familiar tool and interface. He's moved customers away from using Word and Excel documents to manage their projects and onto Smartsheet with ease.

Much more than a fancy calculator - 0 views

  •  
    You probably still think of it as a "cash register" - basically a fancy calculator and cash drawer that sits at the end of the shopping aisle just before the exit, which gives you the correct change on your way out. The modern point-of-sale (POS) system is a tightly integrated computer that almost certainly knows all about your buying history, how often you shop online and what you're likely to buy next week Computers can work out if you are sick and how often, the number of people you live with, if you have pets and can even make an educated guess as to your pregnancy status. One of the biggest shifts recently in POS technology is to make the "point" mobile. Apple stores have championed this. Its "associates" interact with their customers and finish the transaction on the spot. Now others are following. We will all see POS systems becoming more customer friendly and ever present in our everyday lives. So far the self-checkout has been targeted at consumers who have a little bit of pioneer spirit and plenty of patience.

Federal Limits on E-Waste Exports Could Create Up To 42,000 U.S. Jobs, According to New... - 0 views

  •  
    CAER includes a wide range of electronics recyclers and affiliate organizations that support passage of the Responsible Electronics Recycling Act (RERA), legislation that will promote fair and responsible e-waste trade. The bill, which will be reintroduced in the current session of Congress, bans the export of certain types of unprocessed and non-working electronics and e-waste from the U.S. to developing countries. Fair trade in tested, working electronics and processed e-scrap commodities would not be restricted. Processing this e-waste in the U.S. would create 21,000 full-time equivalent recycling jobs with a corresponding payroll of $772 million and the potential for 21,000 additional indirect jobs, according to the study. The study notes that jobs will further increase as e-waste volumes rise in the years ahead. Since its founding in November 2011, CAER has grown to include 82 U.S. companies operating about 158 electronics recycling and disposition facilities operations in 34 states and the District of Columbia.

  •  
    This growing trend is commonly known as foodstagram, a photo taken on a cellphone and quickly posted online. So far, the informal ban has not made its way to the New York State Restaurant Association, which includes 5,000 restaurants in the New York metro area. Andrew Moesel, spokesman for the NYSRA, says the issue is not something that's on the organization's radar. In an email to ABCNews.com, Jacki Spillane of SoHo House said, "SoHo House New York does have a no photography policy within the Club. SoHo House is a private members club, we have this policy to respect and maintain our members' privacy."
