Ubicycle want to be the future gadget for public bicycle service system.

The goal of Ubicycle to encourage people to use bicycles as an alternative way to commute.

The Ubicycle uses smart chips to identify the user of the bike and also allows unlocking of the rack and bicycle. It also uses an easy access key card that can be charged with funds for any kind of public transportation, including trains and buses.

The modular racking station allows easy installation and efficient use of space.

14 bicycles racked on these stations occupy the same amount of space as a parking space for one car.

The Ubicycle concept was developed by Dcontinuum.com. I like the work of the Dcontinuum team so you will probably find more about their new, futuristic concept from now on.

Conclusion

Ubicylcle system is smart and it can be a good solution for big, super crowded cities.

Are the Conference Calls the way of the future?

Conference Calls became popular these days because they are a great way to reduce travel costs. They offer a easy way of communications, allowing workers to be more productive by not having to go out-of-office for meetings.

Before conference calls workers had to meet face to face, which was time consuming and expensive or the workers called each other and after that called his colleges or his manager and called back and so on. For people who were living in different towns and worked on the same project it was almost impossible to be efficient. Now conference calls services make communications fast and easy, dramatically reducing the money and the time.

So many businesses spend hundreds of dollars on unnecessary costs each year due to meetings and trying to get hold of various different people when they are not in the office.

A conference service is cheaper and it also saves a lot of time too. Whether you have a colleague off sick or a partner on the other side of the world, you can now talk to them in a matter of seconds and it will hardly cost you anything!

Call Conference can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call. They are really handy when you need to catch up with everyone. Phone Conferencing give you the ability to connect just a few colleagues to thousands of them is what really sets audio, web or video conferencing apart.

Printer cartridges can be expensive if you print a big number of pages each month.

If you are like me (I read several books per month and I prefer them on paper so I print 2-3 ebooks each month) you probably have searched for a method to get cheaper ink, especially if you are a HP user.

I say HP user because HP ink cartridges are harder to refil

The methods to reduce the cost of the ink were:

• buy printer cartridges online because the online shops have cheaper cartridges than brick and mortar ones.
• refill the old cartridges with compatible ink. The problem with these method is that in time you destroy the cartridges and you can make serious damage to the printer.
• buy compatible cartridges. This is pretty dangerous because of the low quality of these cartridges, again you may damage the printer and be forced to buy a new one.

Now we have a future gadget to solve our printer ink problems: the revolutionary Pelikan refill system.

Pelikan PowerPad is the Pelikan printer supplies refill system for Canon Pixma and HP Deskjet / PSC printer.

The Pelikan PowerPad can reduce the ink cost by 45%.

See the pictures below to see how Pelikan PowerPad works.
