WESTBURY, N.Y., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- IRN Payment Systems (IRN), a leader
in the credit card processing industry, announced a revolutionary program
designed to provide charitable organizations with a steady stream of
donations. Named "The Hope Process," the program enables IRN's customers to
donate to charities based on a percentage of their credit card processing
fees that would normally be collected by IRN as profit.
"As a father of an Autistic child, I learned the importance of charitable
giving," said Dino Sgueglia President and Founder of IRN Payment Systems. "I
wanted to be directly involved in supporting those with Autism, so I created
Danny's Wish, an organization named after my son that was established to
provide funds for Autistic services and charities. However, in creating

This Wednesday was probably the first day on the (potentially long) path to
Adobe Flash decline: the most popular video site out there – YouTube –
started offering videos in Flash-less mode for browsers which support HTML 5
and h.264 video codec.
This means that today the option is available for Chrome and Safari.
Then at some point they will likely add the Ogg codec and support Firefox, or
help Firefox get native h.264 codec support.
And then IE9 ships and all latest browsers will play videos natively. Flash
will no longer be required for video, and why would anyone want it then?
The whole story of Flash in retrospect is going to be an interesting one.
Adobe had 95-98% penetration in PC market for years and could not expand its
adoption beyond video.
They tried: kept improving the tools, added offline, even tried open-sourcing
it, and getting to the mobile market –... (more)
I was planning on taking a very, very long road to assembling the graphic

89 books, graphics novels, Audible, etc. I plan to bump it up even more in
2014. Below the image, I have pulled in the more in depth reviews of the

I have a pet peeve concerning two things I’ve been meaning to write about
lately, namely CRM and multi-tenancy. I recently read an excellent article
referencing both concepts and thought itmight be a good stepping stone to a
quick blog post.
In his article Don’t Get Conned – The many disguises worn by
software-as-a-service, Matt Wallach discusses CRM software and the concept of
SaaS multi-tenancy. Matt’s business is life sciences, and he discusses the
state of CRM software for his industry. His argument is along the lines of
“be wary of on-premise wolves in SaaS sheep clothing”. The wolves, in
this case, areon-premise CRM vendors who simply throw servers over a wall and
call it a SaaSday. The sheep (aka the good guys) are those genuine SaaS
vendors riding a multi-tenant architecture. He then proceeds to define what
multi-tenancy means using the well-known “neighbor... (more)
