Cyber Cafes for Gambling

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02pn

Everyone likes to gamble. Not the life gamble but the money gambling. It is wrong for some and it is not for others. However, it is wrong when it is played at the wrong place don't you agree?

i found an articles which talked about gambling activities in cyber cafes. This subject is very concerned about because as we all know, majority of the cyber cafes visitors are teenagers and young adults. The ministry is worried on this matter because they do not want these youths to be involved in such behavior.

the gambling that i am talking about is not the physical gambling but online because the operators possesed some kind of gambling software and let gamblers use it in their premises. Deputy Minister Datuk M.Saravanan said that based on the ministry's observation, most of the cyber cafes in the federal capital did have this gambling software and let it be played in their premises.

that's all i am talking about this week. enjoy your week and thank you.

Internet Cafe design

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02pd

Hi everyone, today I will like to talk about the Internet Café design. The design for the Internet Café is very important to help you to maximize your profit in every single square feet. Of cause a nice and comfortable Internet Café design will attract more customers to come and become very popular.

To have an easier way to think of the design of your Internet Cafe is to start the franchises business. The reason of it is because most of the Internet Cafés who have the franchises business will have their own overall design, colour schemes, furniture placement, customer flow, and so on.

Well, Internet Café design is much more depends on the demand VS supply situation. Demand is refer to the Internet Café which has very good business and has a lot of customers demand for the seats is more than what you has provided, then you may go for the very effective and tight design for your Internet Café, where every square feet produces money. This kind of situation mostly faces by Chinese Internet Café, where the need for basic Internet access drives customers to Internet Café. Examples for demand situation and tight design,

Photobucket


Besides that, also got some Internet Cafes will not have the luck of the demand situation, so some of them will go for up market approach rather than design efficiency. The idea of this is to get more profit per customer instead of trying to go for high volume approach. They will have their own unique and creative design to attract more customers and also will supply some food and beverage to the customers. Examples of the design,

In addition, you also can use pre-made Internet Café design so that you will not need to reinvent the wheel. You can just learn from the existing Internet Café design and how they arrange the furniture.

Kesilapan yang Biasa dalam Bisnes Kafe Berinternet

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02ow





Salam sejahtera kepada para pendengar dan Gong Xi Fa Cai kepada warganegara Malaysia yang berbangsa Cina.
(0.0-0.5)

Hari ini saya ingin membincangkan mengenai post saya yang lama iaitu kesilapan-kesilapan yang selalu dilakukan oleh operator-operator dlam bisnes kafe berinternet ini.
(0.6-0.15)

Okey...jadi, katakanlah anda baru sahaja membuka sebuah kafe berinternet. Jadi untuk hari perasmiannya, anda telah menawarkan servis yang percuma tetapi malangnya, para pelanggan yang datang untuk perasmian ini dikecewakan dengan masalah-masalah. Masalah-masalah sepaerti komputer tak berfungsi, komputer perlu dimulakan semula setiap kali dan juga komputer pelanggan tak dapat bersambung dengan komputer server. Jadi, imej anda telah musnah.
(0.16-0.47)

Oleh disebabkan itulah, sebelum anda bermula bisnes, anda perlu memastikan bahawa komputer-komputer yang anda beli adlah daripada perkakasan yang berjenama bagus, yang berkualiti, yang amat dikenali ramai status ataupun reputasinya.
(0.48-1.03)

Selain itu, anda juga perlu memastikan komputer-komputer anda mampu berfungsi dengan kelajuan yang tinggi...kerana para pelanggan yang datang ke kafe berinternet anda ini, mereka menjangkakan komputer yang terbaru sekali, yang mampu memproses data dengan cepat skali, kerana mereka mahu menyiapkan kerja mereka dengan cepat.
(1.04-1.26)

Oleh itu anda perlulah sentiasa menyelnggarakan komputer-komputer anda untuk memastikan kesemuanya dalam keadaan yang memuaskan untuk operasi kafe berinternet anda ini.
(1.27-1.44)

Dan juga masalah yang paling utama yang saya ingin ketengahkan di sini iaitu kekurangan komputer. Kurangnya komputer untuk pelanggan, itu adalah masalah yang besar kerana biasanya para pelanggan akan datang dalam jumlah yang ramai, dalam berkumpulan. Jadi, anda sebagai operator perlulah sentiasa memastikan komputer cukup ataupun lebih daripada cukup untuk para pelanggan sedia melangkah masuk dan menggunakan perkhidmatan kafe berinternet anda ini.
(1.45-2.21)

Jadi saya rasa saya akan berhenti di sini lah. Saya menceritakan sedikit sebanyak tentang kesilapan-kesilapan yang dilakukan. Mungkin tidak semua tetapi hanyalah sebilangan kecil. Namun saya harap ini juga dapat membantu anda.
(2.22-2.36)

Terima kasih kerana mendegar dan selamat tinggal.
(2.37-2.40)

HOW TO START YOUR OWN INTERNET CAFE BUSINESS

Link to us:http://sn.im/v02oh



Hi it's me again Jason Goh here and this time I'm not here to give any analysis result but I'm here to share my information with all the viewers. First of all I would like to wish everyone a great Happy Chinese New Year to everyone especially my viewers. I still would like to thank to all my viewers for viewing our blog every week and also participate our weekly poll quiz.

Hi, kepada semua pengunjung blog ini. Kali ini saya disini bukan untuk memberi keputusan analisis saya tetapi saya ingin berkongsi informasi saya dengan semua pengunjung blog ini. Pertama sekali saya ingin meungucapkan Selamat Tahun Baru Cina kepada semua terutamanya yang berbangsa cina dan saya juga ingin mengucapkan beribuan terima kasih kepada peserta quiz poll kita.

Topic minggu ini ialah 'Tips Bagaimana Anda Menubuhkan Internet Cafe Bisnes Anda Sendiri'.

•Budget – An I.C it’s best at least a minimum of 20 seats helps to earn some profit however if you’re budget is bigger than its best the more seats, the more money you will need. If you don’t have the cash, you can find partners to pool in money. Also, I would suggest against forming a business with your close friends.

•Bajet – I.C memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya minima 20 tempat duduk dan anda juga akan mendapat faedah yang minima. Tetapi kalau anda mempunyai modal bajet yang lebih tinggi, lebih baik anda mempunyai tempat duduk yang lebih dan lebih faedah anda akan dapat. Kalau modal tidak mencukupi, saya menasihatkan bahawa anda boleh mencari rakan kongsi untuk memberi lebih sokongan wang. Lebih baik mencari rakan kongsi bisnes dengan kawan yang anda percaya.

•Location – Location is one of the KEY FACTORS FOR SUCCESS. Keywords to look for when scouting; near a school, heavy foot traffic, not too many competitors in the area. You should try to look for a place that’s easy to spot (from the customers perspective)

•Lokasi – Lokasi memainkan peranan penting dalam mencari bisnes. Lebih baik mencari tempat yang padat, berdekatan dengan sekolah, dan tidak banyak pesaing lain. Anda perlu cari tempat yang banyak orang akan kunjungi.

•Hardware – Remember, a good hardware is very much important and budget also plays an important role also. In order to get a potential computer it’s not just for the cost but the life spent and its speed of the computer. Having a slow PC might hit a big impact to the users. Bigger memory, graphic card and etc is very much needed and it doesn’t need to change PC after few years later.

•Perkakasan – Anda perlu selalu ingat bahawa perkakasan juga memainkan peranan penting dan bajet bukan hal yang penting kerana perkakasan yang berpotensi dan mempunyai masa hidup yang panjang dan kepantasan computer akan membantu anda lebih jimat pada masa yang akan datang. Walaupun ini akan memerlukan wang yang banyak tetapi dalam masa hadapan, anda tidak perlu sering menukar komputer yang baru.

•Connection – A faster and decent connection in your cafe will be a key selling point. Don’t worry too much about marketing, if you have the best computers and the fastest connection in your area, sheer WORD-OF-MOUTH will drive customers through YOUR door. At least get the best kbps package that you can afford. Also, if you have the money, you can always get another as back-up in case your primary connection goes down.

•Sambungan internet – Kepantasan internet adalah kunci bisnes anda. Anda tidak perlu bimbang tentang pemasaran tetapi kalau anda mempunyai computer dan sambungan internet yang pantas di kawasan anda. Sekurang-kurangnya dapat kepantasan kbps yang anda boleh mampu. Kalau anda ada lebih modal, anda boleh dapat lebih satu lagi untuk memetikan.

•Software – In all programs of software from gaming to office use, it’s better to get license software because you might get in trouble if getting caught by the government. Software’s can be supply by certain suppliers on gaming and office uses. Thus, you might also get sponsors for using their product.

•Perisian – Dalam semua program perisian dalam game atau perisian pejabat, lebih baik menggunakan perisian yang berlesen kerana kalau anda tidak memiliki lesen anda boleh dikenakan saman atau dakwa dari pihak berkuasa. Anda boleh mendapat perisian dari pembekal yang berlesen untuk game atau perisian pejabat. Ini juga dapat membantu anda untuk mendapat penganjur.

•Other services – Food and drinks is always a good extra source of income and also providing comfort to the customers.

•Servis lain – Makanan dan minuman dapat juga membantu anda untuk mencari faedah tambahan, tatkala ini boleh memberi keselesaan kepada pelanggan.

Alright thats all for this week on my latest information. Got to go Night.

Setakat ini sahaja untuk informasi minggu ini. Sekian Terima Kasih

privacy (mandarin version)

Link to us: http:http://sn.im/uhgl6




Hi, happy chinese new year to everyone.When you always go to the internet café to play game or surfing the internet, you should know some precaution to protect your own privacy. There are two types of risks that you will encounter if you did not pay attention to it. First, internet café is a public computer for you to use, you will not know what software has already installed in it, and so it was dangerous that may be there are some software that can spy or install your passwords. Examples of the software are key loggers and spyware and others. Second which is people around you also can peeping and figure out your passwords.

大家好,祝大家新年快乐。当您经常到网吧玩游戏或上网时,你应该知道一些预防措施以保护自己的隐私。有两种风险您会遇到如果您不重视它。首先,网吧是一个公共电脑场所,你不会知道有什么软件已经安装了在电脑里,所以是那是很危险的,可能有一些软件可以侵入您的密码。该软件的例子有 Key Loggers和Spyware等。第二,是您周围的人们也可以偷窥,并计算出您的密码。

Here are some tips to protect your own privacy.

这里有一些提示 , 以保护自己的隐私。

1. Always log out: Whenever you want to leave your computer or finish using it, you better log out your all the websites that consists of your username and password. Websites such as bank account websites, check mail, instant messaging and others. If you just simply close the browser or restart the computer is not enough because if someone using the same websites or services after you, they might be able to trace your account and access it. Moreover, do not save your login information that allow automatic login. That will easier to let other users to access your account, so you should disable the option before you log in your account.

每次登出:当你要离开你的电脑或完成使用它时,你必须完全登出你所有的网站 , 您的用户名和密码组成。例如,银行账户的网站,检查电子邮件,和其他网站。 如果你只是简单地关闭浏览器或重新启动那架电脑是不够的 , 因为如果有人在您使用相同的网站或服务,他们或许能够追踪您的帐户。 此外,不要允许自动登录信息 。 这会让其他用户容易地追踪您的帐户,因此您应该禁用自动登录选项 , 然后才在您的帐户登录。

2. Staying with the computer: As I stated earlier in the first tip, do not leave your computer and if you want to away the computer in a period of time, you should log out all the websites that you have sign in and also close it. So that other users will not know what websites you are using and it can keep yourself safe from hacking.

保持与电脑位置:正如我刚才所说的第一条建议,不要离开您的电脑,如果你想离开电脑一段时间,您应该登出所有的网站 ,并关闭它,以便其他用户不会知道你使用的网站 。

3. Clear history and temporary files: The browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and others all will save the pages you have visited in the History folder or in Temporary Internet Files. Because of that, your password will also might be store in the browser if the option is enabled to save the username and passwords. Therefore, before you use the computer, you should go check the setting and delete all the history after you have done using the computer.

清除历史记录和临时文件:例如Internet Explorer,Mozilla Firefox和其他的浏览器都将会保存您在历史文件夹或登入过的网页。由于这个原因,您的密码也可以会存储在浏览器中如果你启用了保存用户名和密码此选项。因此,在使用店脑之前,您应该检查该设置和删除所有的历史 当你用完电脑后。

4. Avoid online financial transactions: You must avoid use online financial transaction in the public computer such as internet café. Instead you should find a safer place such home or friend’s house to do that. Examples for using online financial transaction are online banking, online shopping and other transactions that require you to enter the sensitive information like credit card or bank account details then you should not do in the public places. You will never know how the people will track your privacy.

避免网上金融交易:您必须避免使用公共电脑 , 如网吧进行线金融交易。 相反 , 你应该找一个更安全的地方进行这项活动, 例如家庭或朋友家中。 网上金融交易的例如有网上银行,网上购物及其他交易 ,需要输入您的私人信息, 如信用卡或银行账户信息,所以你不应该在供共场所进行这项交易,你永远不会知道其他人会如何跟踪您的隐私。

Thank you.

谢谢。

Weekly Poll Results 4

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02e5

Hi it's me again Jason here, and as usual you know what I'm here for. On this week poll quiz is about 'What is the lowest price you ever experienced in I.C? the choices given is RM 0.50, RM 1, RM 1.50 and RM 2.



As usual the normal rate of I.C price in the market is RM 2 and many people think is normal. Most of the I.C i experienced myself are also RM 2. However the lowest price i ever experienced is also RM 1.50. Based on my analysis, the result came up to be RM 1.50 are the majority who experience it with this rate. With this rate, the I.C should be very big I.C with lots of computer. That's their target way of earning profit.

On the other hand, RM 1 with the result of 25% is also supported however is very rare that this I.C would offer this rate. It usually happens on a promotion or events. RM 1 is the lowest price indicated in the quiz however RM 0.50 with 0% are not supported. Based on my research, RM 0.50 usually happens when a new I.C has open business. It's also rare with this rate. I.C owners will either pick free gaming time or with minimum fee RM 0.50 when they just open business.

Lastly RM 2 is also supported with 25%, the reason why is also 25% is because that RM 2 is a normal rate in the market price and not many people experience lower price than this. It is obvious that RM 2 doesn't make any impact in the market price.

Well that's all for my poll this week and today is the 1st day of Chinese New Year and i would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year, Bye.

Tighter Laws for Internet Cafe

Link to us: http://snipr.com/ueamu

Happy holidays to you all. I am filled with the holiday's spirit makes me a bit lazy,hahaha but i still going to carry out my responsibility.

Remember i posted a post titled Enforcing the Law? Well i do because i did it. Anyway, this new post is also about the law only it is a different article. It is not the same because the old post talked about enforcing the law but this one talks about tighter laws.

From what i read, there are differences between the laws before and the ones that are to be executed. My last post they are telling the Internet Cafes to close by midnight as a concern to the teenagers that are pestering near these cafes even after midnight. Now they put up new laws where these cafes can only operate using the ground floor of buildings. No more two storey Internet Cafes.

According to Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin, cyber cafes operators are banned from using tinted windows so that their cafes can be seen from the outside. It is so that people can see what is happening inside to make sure there are no illegal activities being carry out inside the cafes.

Alcohols and cigarettes are both a no-no inside the premises. According to the article, operators need to keep record of the time of all their customers in and out of their premises and they need to also send the names of the students that went and use their services to the students' schools.

Any of the operaters that does not comply with the guidelines will and shall be blacklisted. Not only that, their names will be sent to all local authorities and they will not be allow to open this type of business in any part of Malaysia.

It seems that cyber cafes laws are getting tighter but still, a lot more has been neglecting these guidelines,that's one thing i am sure of. One thing i am not sure of is that whether these laws have been enforced or not. Anyway....this is the end for my post, enjoy this holiday people and thank you to all.

Internet Cafe software

Link to us: http://snipr.com/ug4vd

Happy Chinese New Year guys...!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai... Hope you all enjoy the holiday... This time I want to talk about the Internet Cafe software. Discuss on what types of software that Internet Cafe used? Well, here are the examples of the software in other countries:-

1. Hotspot software – This is the software used for charging the WiFi billing to those who use the Internet Café’s wireless supply. This is a “no client installation” software which means that the users no need install any software of this. This software will redirect the users to Internet Café’s login page to sign in or pay before getting the Internet access. This software required the bandwidth management which is very useful in controls time and also the bandwidth usage for unlimited user accounts and also can connects multiple WiFi hotspots to the same database. This software can help the owner to accept the credit card payments with more than 70 payment gateways.

2. Internet Café software – This is a server and client based software. This software is used to counting the time usage and charge for the cost that you fixed in the Internet Café. Internet Café software can help to control the game console and limited the customer activities the way you want to set. For examples, hides desktop icons, the Windows button, the access to the system and others. This software can easily help you to manage the customers’ account, security, games and program usages. This software supports many 30 languages and is deployed in more than 170 countries. In addition, Internet Café software can change the skin to match your preference.

3. Print manager software – This is a centralized print control. You can automatically supervise the printer in your Internet Cafe while your customer is using it and then you can price the process. This software is also suitable for libraries, schools, corporations and others.

4. Bandwidth manager – This is also a “no client installation” software. Bandwidth manager can help you to control the download and upload rates for every computer in your network which can help to make other computer work with the same speed because when downloading some files, the computer will steal most of the connection speed then other computers will face the low speed connection. This software can help you to reduce your overall bandwidth requirements which in another word is saving your money. In addition, it also can filter websites, shares Internet connection, and integrates with third-party software using API.

Weekly Poll Result 3

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02cn

Hi guys, it's me Jason as usual. Well on our poll last week, not much response on the quiz poll. Then we try to understand the situation of our weaknesses however we still hope that all our viewers would spend sometime giving and comment on our weaknesses on our weekly poll. On the previous week poll, our question asked on 'Do you often visits Internet Cafe?'

Before I go for more information on our poll, lets view the chart results first and understand the situation.



As you can see on the chart, 63% says that they visits I.C depending when they plan outing with their friends. I realize that, even myself visits internet cafe based on the same reason. First thing is social interactivity and gaming purposes. To all my viewers, would you agree on my statement as i stated? If there is comment or feedback feel free to share with us as a topic discussion.

Second and third is the same results on the 1st answer and the 2nd answer that is once in a blue moon and everyday. Both results are even as in 15%. Some people who are I.C-holic as we call it, will visit I.C often as in everyday. They would spend most of their hours there playing either alone or with groups. Why it is so? I believe that most of the player who plays game are more interested on LAN game such as Dota, Call of Duty Left 4 Dead and etc. However the obvious part that people doesn't visit I.C is because of they do not play games or interested with I.C.

The curious part that there is no respondent who respond saying that they visits I.C 1 week 1 time. In my experience I did before thus I realize that i do not visit I.C alone. I do visit I.C at least 1 time in a week. not many people are doing so because either their visiting it at least more than 1 or just better not go.

Now comes the last result that is visiting I.C more than 1 time in a week. It is true based on my research by looking it myself in I.C, I am able to see the same face at least minimum twice in a week. people who do so are usually people who are already working and they would spend their time after working hours in I.C. Purpose are also common as in gaming purposes.

Wow again is coming midnight and as usual coming to my bed time. Well I hope my results are sufficient based on my research I did. Again please don't hesitate by leaving your comment and fedback. We would be glad hearing information's from you.
Got to go now. Nights~~

Common Mistakes in Business

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02c9

Helloooo readers....how's health? Wish the best of health to you all

I believe you all read the post Mr ducky did. well that post is tips on starting your own internet cafe business. He did well on that. So my post related to his in a way because mine is talking about some common mistakes that people did when they started their own internet cafe.

People always say that the first impression matters most right? lets say you opened an internet cafe and for the grand opening, you gave free try-outs. You know people, some just want to compare the new one with your newly opened and some just want to get the free internet surfing, no matter what the reason, you still need to impress these people. If on the free try-outs, these people who came face problems like PC not working or have to restart, cannot connect to server or many other reasons, your first impression gone just like that.

So what you need to do is to make sure that your PCs are made of a good brand of hardwares. A brand that people know it's reputation. That's one, another one is slow PC. Please make sure that you don't buy slow PCs, always get the fastest PC in the market for your internet cafe because people that visit internet cafes expect to have a fast flowing experience and if you fail to do so, you are gonna lose to the competitors. This one can fall into the bad maintenance problem because bad maintanance also can cause your computers to slow down.

Always keep up with competitors and get the latest softwares and hardwares to make sure that your internet cafe can maintain its performance thus keeping the customers to come back.

Another common problem in internet cafes is smokers. These smokers can enter to the non-smoker area but non-smoker would not go to the smokers are because they hate the smokes. So it is better to just make your internet cafe a non-smoking one because the amount of non-smokers are larger than smokers when it comes to visiting an internet cafe. Majority counts and failing to do so keeps your customers away.

One major common problem is the lack of computers. You know that most of the people that goes to internet cafes always in groups, rarely alone because 'the more the merrier' so it is your duty and responsibility as the owner to make sure that these customers that are in groups can always get their PCs because when their happy, you are happy. Always make sure that there are always computers available for your customers. Customer satisfaction is gold. Hahaha....

what i just post is only a few of the problems but i focus on the most common so that you readers won't be reading through a whole lot more. So this is it for this week and i'll be back for next week...Thank You

Weekly Poll Result 2

Link to us: http://sn.im/v02az

Hey guys its me again Jason on duty. Well my post is always like soldier style right? Haha It's going to change soon. Ok lets straight to the point. As you all know that im the person in charge on the poll session and I am gladly to announce the result for previous week. Again I would like to thank you all our readers for participating our weekly quiz and feel free to give more of your feedback to let us improve and serve you better.

On our previous week question was about 'What's your main purpose visiting Internet Cafe? This question is very interesting and the feedback was better then before. Our choices of answers are gaming, net surfing, socializing, and no internet at home.

This are chart on our results on the pass week.


As you can see on our chart, most of the response supported that their purpose of visiting Internet Cafe is because of gaming. Why gaming? The result proven 34% and no internet connection 23%. Internet Cafe was once created not for gaming purposes however at came up with a trend when all the youngsters this days has no internet at home, so they visit Internet Cafe for gaming purposes. Basically gaming and no internet at home is basically related to most of our answers however depending on the readers reason for visiting Internet Cafe.

Another reason that also was supported 2nd most at 26% is because net surfing. Internet Cafe was created for net surfing and till now the trend is there. People visit Internet Cafe either they do their work, or net search for information, facebook-ing, checking mails, twitter and many more sites. Reason? They also might not have internet at home or they just don't want to be home. Haha

Last but not least, social purposes at 17%. Ok social purposes mean that people actually plan to go to Internet Cafe to social with their friends or online friends. A lot of teenagers now this days visits Internet Cafe with big groups of friends because there is 1 special advantages that they are able to socialize. LAN games are the main reason because at home, people are just playing alone and it's going to be bored. However in Internet Cafe is a whole different thing where they can meet up and play side by side. If based on socializing through net, is similar to net surfing.

Wow guys, it's very late now and I'm kind of tired now and going off to bed as usual. Well I'm calling of duty now. Bye
