Review: SalesVu – A Super Easy Way To Accept Credit Cards On The iPhone
SalesVu is a FREE application for the iPhone / iPod Touch and iPad that allows you to accept credit cards anywhere, as long as you are in the United States or Canada.
SalesVu’s pricing for Visa, MasterCard, and Discover is a flat rate of 2.7%. American Express is 2.89%. Rates for Canada vary based on the business. Every approved SalesVu member gets a free credit card reader, but if you need more than one you are going to have to fork over $99 for each additional credit card reader. You can also take manual charges at any time. Other fees you may encounter would be a monthly charge that varies depending on how much your total credit card charges are. The range is from $0-$20. This is still pretty cheap!
SalesVu’s largest competitor is Square. Square may be a brand that more people have heard of but SalesVu is quickly rising mainly due to the competitive advantages that they offer, especially in pricing! Check out the comparison chart:
Military Approved Camera-less iPhone Available in Singapore
Singapore operator M1 has made its camera-less iPhone’s official. They are now military approved. You get get the iPhone 4 camera-less with 8GB and you can get the iPhone 4S camera-less with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB.
According to M1, both front and back camera modules are completely removed, not just covered, and “may not be reinstalled”. The service has been certified by Singapore’s Ministry of Defence (Mindef), which means they will be allowed in army installations in the island-state. This benefits both full-time soldiers and many Singaporean men who are required to fulfill two years of mandatory military service. M1 will issue a certificate with each non-camera iPhone that will identify it as being approved by Mindef.

How to Setup Airprint on Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop
In Ubuntu 11.10, setting up AirPrint is easy.
1. Have a Standard install of Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 32-bit. I my case it was running under Windows 7 using Virtualbox.
2. Go into the CUPS interface and make sure “Share published printers connected to this system” is enabled on the server settings. Use Firefox for this browser as shown below:
3. The Print Server is the Ubuntu computer that is directly connected to the printers.
4. On the server machine (the one the printer is attached to), open System -> Administration -> Printing. This will open the Printer Configuration window. OR you can open the following URL in your browser: http://localhost:631
5. Select Server in the menu bar, and then Settings. This will open the Basic Server Settings window.
6. Check the second box:
- Publish shared printers connected to this server
7. If this computer acts as both a Print Server and a client (it does need access to a printer connected to another computer), select also the first box, “Show printers shared by other systems”.
8. OK.
9. Right click the printer and check the Shared option, if not checked yet.
10. On the Printer Properties, make sure the Shared checkbox is check on the Policies tab.
11. If you have a firewall running, make sure you allow the needed ports (one of the is port 631). I didn’t need to do this on my default install.
12. Restart CUPS “/etc/init.d/cups restart” or reboot the computer, this is done automatically when you save changes in the GUI admin for CUPS that you use Firefox to Access.
13. Make sure your iPhone/iPad is on the same network.
14. On your iPhone/iPad, go into Safari or email and, print, and search for printers. Your new printer should be in there.
