I love technology for its constant change and innovation. Today I learned about a new technology that blends with traditional print to blow my mind. I am sure it will do so for you, too. That technology is called Print2life. The technology let’s an advertiser create a traditional print ad for a magazine, newspaper, direct mail piece, door hanger, product label, etc. But with Print2life technology you can hold your phone over the advertising image and scan the print advertisement. After a couple of seconds the advertisement pops up on your phone and it starts to play a video explaining whatever additional message you want to convey. It is definitely off-the-page thinking if you pardon the pun.

Smoke testing is a term used to describe the testing process for servers after patches are applied. 
Estimating an average time for patching servers and PCs can be a bit tricky. It can vary from one month to the next, depending upon the number and complexity of the patches released by your software vendors. You must consider all versions of operating systems and have a complete inventory of all your application software to do this job correctly. Our experience has shown that manual patching of systems takes on average of about 1.5 hours each.
This is a basic cost calculator for you to compute your typical monthly cost for patching your servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and associated application software. It also forms the basis for you to begin calculating your Return on Investment for software patching, or for comparison with alternatives to the manual process of patching operating systems and application software—such as Patch Management as a Service, also known as Vulnerability Management as a Service.
