Technically It's a Technical Translation

One of the things that can confuse even the greatest minds are technical translation. Mobile game apps are usually the most difficult to translate due to its specialised terminology. However, there are many translation services with quality translation tools combined with real human translators, who are more than happy to professionally translate any of your apps, games or websites.
I Just Want My Game Translated
If you're thinking about having your game translated, then might I suggest you decide on which language you'd want translated first. This is probably the most fundamental part of your project especially if you're thinking about going international with it. Once you've decided which language you want translated then you're already half way there.
Don't Go Down that Slippery Slope
The next step is actually finding a good translation service, who can assist you on your every needs. Literally. When something doesn't quite translate, we'd immediately know there's a fatal error and finding a solution can take a while. Meaning, finding a professional translation service is a MUST. It will definitely save you time and cost, unless you've just got money to burn!
My Translation Brings All the Boys to the Yard
Who remembers back in the mid 90s where dubbed films were pretty 'interesting', (by that, I really meant it wasn't), but it still kept you hooked even though the translations were awful? Now, you really don't want your audience to comment or complain about terrible subs and dubs on any of your products and don't bother using Babelfish either because that's definitely not going to help. What you need are real professional translators and not some unchecked machine- produced translation. Any bad translation or mistranslation could lead to a lost of trust in your brand and not to mention that the quality of your product will probably be scrutinised and God forbids that your decision in not finding a translator would lead to this humiliating mockery. Get your product localized and you're likely to see a positive outcome.

Is Your Business Data Safe in the Cloud?

Highly publicized events like hacked celebrity photos, credit card data theft from major retailers, and confidential business data loss from large corporations have drawn into question the security of Cloud storage, especially for businesses.
From customer payment information to internal pricing policies to large commercial and government bids, the data that businesses keep is critical, and its loss could be devastating - just ask Sony.
And it's not only large corporations or financial institutions that should be concerned. One study showed that over half of the small businesses surveyed had experienced data theft, and half of those had experienced it more than once.
The corresponding business disruption can also cost companies big money. Even a simple file that takes an employee an hour to recreate costs you money, and it can snowball from there. Worse still, most insurance policies don't cover data loss of any kind. And even if you can be monetarily compensated, it won't change the fact that your data has been stolen.
In a post earlier this year we discussed the different file storage options for businesses (an on-premise server, public or private Cloud storage, or hybrid solution). Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. With on-site servers, your information is physically with you, under your direct observation and control. However, all it takes is a single bolt of lightning knocking out your server, or a cleaning lady clever enough to steal a password to simply walk away with your hardware. Viruses, stolen laptops, crashed hard drives, spilled coffee-all threats to your computing system also threaten your data.
The truth is, cloud computing is here to stay, so it is increasingly important to protect your data there. And guess what? With the right safeguards and protocols in place, it's actually more secure.

Recycling E Waste for a Healthy and Eco-Friendly Environment

We use various electronic products in our daily personal and professional lives. The digital and interactive media are meant to speed up our communication process and the types of information we deal via these sources are called infotainment. It is always advisable to donate electronic items and gadgets as this process brings the items in reuse thereby increasing the longevity of valuable products. Reuse of electronics prevents expensive materials from going into the ravage stream. Now a day, many companies have sprung up which offer various sponsor programs to motivate corporate and private organizations to initiate electronic products recycling.
In various nations laws dealing with recycling and disposal of different appliances have also come into action. However, it is always advisable for a company to enter into a recycling agreement after cross checking the license presented by the contractor. It is always better for costumers to consider any demonstrated accreditations in the field of eco friendly refurbishing of the e products.
Basically, e waste is a generic term applied to business and consumer electronic products which are on the verge of retirement. Basically, computers, phones, televisions, fax machines, copying equipments and other consumer items fall into the e recycling category. Besides, washing machines, microwave oven, music systems, refrigerators, etc. are also considered greatly for this purpose. However, the fact is that the usage of office items is much higher in proportion and hence increasing number of recycling firms offer services to various business sectors only.
The underlying problem is that most of us are still not clear about the actual concept of recycling e waste which can be reused in a beautiful manner. For instance, if we consider only the commercial sector the scope of such reuse is immense which encapsulates the whole of IT asset management including data centre, mobile devices, precious metal refining, digital data destruction, material recovery, etc.

Secure Data Destruction: 4 Ways To Destroy A Hard Drive

Are you looking for ways on how to destroy your hard drive? Here are some of them:
Burning
While heat won't destroy data it will aid in turning your platters into liquid piles. There are a number of ways on how to burn the device. One of the ways is by using fire. This can be in the fireplace or hobo barrel. All you need to do is to toss the device in the fire and then leave it there for some time.
Another way is by using a blow torch. Here you need to put on some protective gear, hold the platter at distance and watch it melt.
If you are an adventurous hard drive destroyer, you can use a thermite. You should fill a large container with sand and then place the platter on the sand. You should then light a container of thermite over the platter. This technique produces a lot of heat that destroys the hard drive.
You can also use sugar and saltpeter. You should mix sugar and saltpeter in a soda can and place it over the hard disk.
While burning will destroy the device, you should be careful. For example, you should avoid doing the technique indoors as it tends to produce fumes that are harmful. The technique is also dangerous because sometimes there are explosions that can be harmful.
Hammering
This is the probably the fastest and most direct way of destroying the platter. You need to place the hard drive on a hard surface and then hit it with a hammer. You should ensure that you wear protective gear. For example, you should wear goggles and safety gloves.
You should also ensure that you are the only person in the room. This is to avoid hurting anyone with flying bits of glass and metal.
Magnetizing
You need to use giant magnets. If you have money you can buy the magnets; however, if you don't have money you should take your drive to a local junk or scrap yard. The good side with this technique is that it not only aids in destroying the drive, but it also ensures that all the data is erased.
