Agency Pays Homeless People to Promote Itself

At least the homeless gets paid

At least the homeless gets to work and have some money of their own.
GoGorilla may be earning some money from the services of these homeless people but they are not the only ones doing so. It seems that every kind of weird but otherwise effective strategy has been used by advertisers to promote their services. Focusing on homeless people is another way of getting the sympathy and attention of people.
It cannot be denied that the sight of this kind of people makes others think about how fortunate they are in life. And that a cent given is not wasted if they go their way. If GoGorilla wants people's attention, they sure got it by using the homeless persons and getting them out on the street with the elite and the priveleged ones.
What better way to advertise than to go into regret for not doing something to divert the situation the person is in now. Makes the wise and unwise think twice about decisions made in life too. The article stated about hoping this people are really what they are and just playing a role for promotions' sake.

Spice Up Your Brochures With 2005's Hot Colors

Every year has its colors

The only thing that is wrong with using old colors is that they are the colors used before and that makes them not too new and the readers may have already seen them. Other than that, like I said, there is really nothing wrong with using past colors.
That is me, by the way. But for some who prefers changing in styles and colors, seeing the same things would not impress them very much. Maybe that is why some people are making predictions or suggestions on colors that would be the trend for a certain time. I wonder where they get their basis from?
Being trendy was mentioned on the article. What makes one trendy? Colors can do that, in a way. If done correctly too. Forecasts of colors are not really meant to be followed exactly. They just serve as guidelines and suggestions on what may appear as good colors. The rest is up to those who will use them and how the people will perceive them.
One thing is sure though, colors change. Preferences change. Trends change. The only problem now is looking for what is the next best thing in these changes.

Playboy bunny attempts at bouncing back to the spotlight

I am sure many boys, when they get to a certain age, would agree that they have some stacks of Playboy magazine stacked up under their covers or in some hidden corners of their closets. Teens must have had raging hormones going from first glances, and stolen glances, that they have of these magazines.

Nowadays, however, the publication seem to be losing its “touch” as newer and modern magazines like Maxim and FHM. Not to mention, internet porno sites that anyone over the age of 18 can access to. Playboy is not anymore the empire that it was way back when. It came tumbling down as technology soared up.

To prevent anymore chances of extinction, the executives of Playboy have come up with its own digital mutimedia entertainment company. This is merging the magazine, television and website into a package and offering them as part of a membership. Did I mention people can have copies of these pictures and stories on their cellphones too?

Think about the printers like U Printing: Los Angeles Printing Company, having people swarming unto them if they have “Playboy-capabilites” like catering to printing straight from the net or being sole distributors of these magazines. Maybe they can help the Playboy regain its old splendor...

They haven’t invented a printer that does not have any problem yet

If you can accept the fact that printers will have problems no matter if you have the best and the most modern, that it would be easier to figure out your current problem. Printers can be quite unpredictable as all modern tools. Working best for a moment then having problems the next.

There are many explanations to why printers turn out the way they do as you use them. There are the cartridges, the inks themselves and maybe some internal part that needs some maintenance or something. I think it is best to give it back from where you brought it and let them figure the problem. It is like they are the experts on these things so let them figure out the solution!

Seriously though, try going over their site and see it they offer maintenance tips. Or you could try writing your queries there. Besides being the inventors of these printers, maybe they would know how to fix your problem. If the problem persists, try the next best thing; buy a new printer!

Invasion of color lasers

This is not something new anymore. There was an article I read that says about laser printers that may be used by the police to track down law breakers.
That is,
law breakers that have somehow used the printer in the past.

Frightening. If these color lasers are used by not just one person,
which is where the problem will arise. Better you know it, you can become a suspect yourself, having used the printer on the same date and time, if indicated there also. It is frightening to think that every move you had made
is traced and one wrong coincidence could send you to jail for a crime you never even dreamed of doing.

Helpful. For the law enforcers. Adds to another of their
“crime busting” equipments. Especially for crimes that are somewhat related to having printed an illegal files and other documents that may also be described as illegal.

For U Printing: A Los Angeles Printing Company, this would serve a purpose more in favor to them.
Record and resource checking. There won’t be any problem anymore
about the consumption of materials. If the printer malfunctions all of a sudden, then check the last user and there goes your culprit.

Using the index finger to pay for the food

This is good news for those who hated carrying bulky wallets filled with credit or debit cards. Modern ways of paying is just placing the finger on a fingerprint reader in the counter. From that action, the choices of checking, credit and debit card will be up to him. The transaction is then ended when he is given his receipt.

Biometrics. The future of financial and other transactions. Amazing, isn’t it? So movie makers were not doing something unthinkable when they created futuristic sci-fi movies. They were merely being ahead of the times and giving the people a synopsis of what is going to happen in the future. Hmm…maybe more respect will be given the directors and writers of this kind of movies.

The encoding of the information needed in biometrics, if ever used by the majority in the future, would need more modernized machineries if it becomes a hit in the market. This is like a modern way of printing in a sense that human characteristics are the ones printed on machines.

What about the blinds ones? The amputees? Maybe one of the developers will read this and will think about the persons that is lacking some physical attributes. Hmm…

Edible prints

This article is very much like the one I have read before about food manufacturers turning to
edible prints to put in their products to reduce the harm that inks and prints may inflict on people by the food that they eat. I guess the people behind the invention of
inkjet printers did not even thought that their printers would serve many different and sometimes eccentric uses to the people. They never would have dreamed that people will have the capacity
to modify its use to make it work for their advantage. Some are good and valid enough but some are just too weird to even mention.
U Printing: A Los Angeles Printing Company has already taken to using
inkjet printers for printing needs. Printers should be wary of what people are now doing to their printers.
They are given a run for their money.
Maybe printers should also start modifying their inkjets and creating an invention in the printing industry as well.

Hope and depression in signs

If there is one thing that could test the weakness and the strength of the people, it would have to be disasters that are unpredictable and can hit when it is least expected to.

The recent hurricane that happened is yet another major disaster that is trying the endurance of the people and the country as a whole. Many other countries, rich and poor alike, are more than willing to lend help and support to the victims that have accepted their fate and has resigned to wishing for the best in the future.

Seemingly hopeless, these evacuees turned to signs that were posted everywhere for hope. Signs that were posted are usually reassuring them that there are people helping them in any way they can. That prayers from around the globe are being said for them. Even the little or much help that people can give to them for the support whatever needs that are needed by them.

Not all signs are giving hope to the victims. Some signs are geared toward the reality that people have gone through. Putting what people have been through and the situation they are in are only serving to point out the tragedy and desperation they are experiencing.

These different signs are not only read by the victims, people worldwide are also focusing their attention on them. Some are evoked feeling of pity and wants to help in any way. But there are some that are merely shaking their heads and being thankful that they are not in that position.
