Target and Management...

info@lcasolutions.com — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:00:00 +0100

It seems to me every time I visit Target in the United States, they have such big stores and they could be generating substantially more sales if their management took the time to realize the potential they have in their store.

Higher sales mean higher profits and higher profits is better for the company right?

Well there are so many management and store policy policies that can be implemented to help increase their profits.

Hulu Plus is Garbage

info@lcasolutions.com — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Hulu recently released their Hulu Plus service, their premium service. We are very disappointed with the service they are offering for an eye popping $10 per month. We are going to keep this article short and to the point.

First, even before we point our why this service is not worth $5 let alone $10 per month. Services that offer much more bang for your dollar or services that are coming out are the following services:

Netflix offers a service for $9 a month and we get unlimited DVD [...]

Metro PCS

info@lcasolutions.com — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Okay, so I generally do not ever write reviews for products that I think you should NOT try, however, I could not resist, as it seems to me that Metro PCS is not very honest with the way they conduct business and I wanted all my readers and clients to know what the REAL story is. Take a look at the information that I would like to relate to you all.

They have a 7 day or 1 Hour return policy, however, they do not make it CLEAR that the phone cannot be exchangedI have never ever [...]

Iphone and ATT

info@lcasolutions.com — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

I have been reading many articles about ATT and the IPhone and complaints and the rest. I wanted to give my two cents and let everyone know what is really happening here and what the solutions can or would be.

ATT uses more data for internet than all the other carriers in the United States by far. They do not even as a collective come close to consuming as much as the rest of the cell phone companies, namely, Verizon, T-Mobile, Spring and others.

Why? Because the media services th [...]

Dell, a bleak future indeed...

info@lcasolutions.com — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

It seems that Dell computers have been going nothing short of south. Their more recent purchase of Alienware certainly offers Dell customers a better computer, however, Dell computers themselves are really not that hot.

They are cheap, with little to no innovation and offer the poorest levels in stability and long term investment.

I am totally for cheap computers for those that cannot afford better ones, but for those that can pay, why are we getting crappy expensive computers? [...]

Tech Giants... or not...

Yahoo and Microsoft...Where Are You?

info@lcasolutions.com — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Alright, I will admit, Yahoo and Microsoft are as Tech Company as they get. Everyone that knows anything about the internet or computers knows about these companies, the real question is why are companies like Google and others dominating the playing field and taking home field advantage over the giant tech companies that were first in line and furthermore, how come they have not been able to respond.

Now Yahoo can always argue they are not so rich, however, that does not really hold gr [...]

Computer Security versus Computer Performance

info@lcasolutions.com — Wed, 26 May 2010 00:00:00 +0100

This is a rather largely debated question and we have a simple answer to help most people figure out what they need.

1) If you are a corporation, you will need IT guidance as well as a budget. In a nutshell a strong computer protection setup is what we recommend as well as network entry and outbound security.

2) Small business should also have a strong security setup to ensure that they can properly protect access and security vulnerabilities.

3) Home users without children [...]

Streaming Entertainment from Television to Movies

info@lcasolutions.com — Fri, 14 May 2010 00:00:00 +0100

So, there have been many developments in the streaming entertainment world of late. Netflix has added a substantial amount of streaming content as well as announcements from certain networks that have pulled content from free steaming services as well as Hulu making an announcement for a pay wall. All of this requires some clarification as well as some caution to ensure that streaming content does not begin to take steps backwards.

So, let us take a look at certain elements who can win [...]

Hulu Again...

info@lcasolutions.com — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

It seems that the rumors that Hulu will become a subscription based service may be true, but if the reason is for a lack of money, there are many other ways that Hulu can maintain the service though ads and at the same time offer more shows and generate more revenue.

Hulu claims to have more than one billion steams a month, there are so many untapped markets they are not nearly reaching. They can generate millions and millions of dollars a day and they are missing the boat.

There [...]

There have been many comments online indicating that the Hulu service many not remain a free service as it has until now. However, if fees were imposed on it as they are with television, perhaps the solution to Hulu keeping the system free is to increase profits.

Valid Page Code Myth

info@lcasolutions.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Is valid page code a feature that can help you get better rankings in a search engine and should you fall for any company that promises better rankings if you have a valid website code and or that is up to date?

We believe that the answer is NO. The reason, simple, take a look at Amazon.com, they do not rank first for all searches but they do rank first on most relevant searches involving shopping. What is it about Amazon.com that does not validate, take a look.

Search Engine Honesty

I was approached by a customer today who asked me is a certain :make money with Google AdSense" program worked. I said, from my knowledge, they are all scams. I explained to him that there is no get rich scheme and that he had to work hard if he wanted to make real money selling goods online and not to fall for such scams.

The volume of people that have been scammed by these programs, thousands and thousands and best of all Google, does not even care that people are marketing this [...]

USPS in the hole nearly $4 billion dollars

info@lcasolutions.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100

It is hard to believe after all the cost cutting measures the post office still lost $3.9 billion dollars. However, what is not surprising is that the post office has not taken steps to ensure its survival into the future by offering services for the new era that would ensure the USPS continues for a long time into the future.

How is it that the USPS has not figured out what solutions they can offer clients to increase their income and also provide a long term sustainable solution for [...]
