KBS Computer, a leading provider of business IT services, such as web design, systems management, desktop support services, and network support announced today the launch of a new company website.
The launch of the new website is aimed at giving KBS a clean, professional look that fits with their industry. The website is in alignment with their “simple, to the point” corporate identity that unites our clients and staff.
Brian Kinney, company founder, is ecstatic about the launch of the new website. “The website is a valuable asset for those that are actively searching for a great IT support team for there business,” Brian said. “It is a simple, to the point medium for others to find out about our stellar network support and demonstrates our web design side.” KBS’s goal with the website is to capture those regional prospects actively searching for web development, network security assessments, desktop and network management services.
The site is the future of KBS as we look forward to strengthening our position in web development both in creative designs and unsurpassed custom web applications. When you want to utilize the web in you business we are the team that makes it happen.
Check back as we continue to strive for the best.
Ok some of you are saying what did you expect Barrons’ to have the best review of a $300 mobile webcam; remember this is the fatcat banker who have $$700B sitting in there pockets burning a hole. How could they love something for the masses?
Actually, I they are pretty dead on for the most part and the video is a fair just needs to be noted we are in the 1st generation of this telepresence future. Remember the 1st days of the internet? Not exactly amazing. The robotic heyday is coming, get ready.
Watch it and let us know what you think.
Gadget of the Week: Rovio Mobile Camera
The Rovio Mobile Camera is a pricey new gadget that is a mobile web camera that…
I figured we should give some idea of what telepresence robots we have available at the moment. Telepresence is the idea of having a robot located at a different location an being able to login remotely thru the Internet and do something with the Robot. Usually its for a controllable web cam experience with or without sound.
Current models of robots being used for testing purposes.
Charmed Labs Qwerk micro controller- it works great with the CMU software but I don’t really need it anymore so its For Sale.
iRobot Create- pretty cool, its a great base platform but not alot of uses at the moment it too is for sale as I used it with the Qwerk.
iRobot ConnectR- Super well done by the guys, but not available and its gonna be pricey and probably windows only when it first comes out. Yup no web interface.
Wowwee Rovio-Interesting product, hate driving it with all 33 wheels, but it works and the Cam has great hackability. Don’t buy it to drive it.
Erector Spykee-Just got it for Christmas so still messing with it. Not sure but I like the motion detecting part.
Again we are in the process of testing them to find the good bad and ugly we will post more detail soon on each bot. As this is just the beginning of the robot world!
Welcome to Computers and Robotics aka COMBOT. This site will primarily be about informing people about technology in the areas of the latest Robotic gear including telepresence and autonomous systems. COMBOT is a spin off of the PC Repair business from KBS Computer, a leading technology company founded by Brian Kinney back in 1999. Now that KBS has fully transitioned into business solutions space (Yes, that’s what the BS stands for) it was determined that we needed to freshen the product line with the future of electronics, Robots. So that required a new name since “computer” is not exactly state of the art; the new name was found that explained what we did and we are now live with computersandrobotics.com or combot.us.
What we do. We can service most any technology but mostly we help you to better use tech in your life. Whether its fixing your laptop, reloading Windows after a virus or setting up that new telepresence robot connecting you to your house at any time we can do it.
We look forward to the future and hope you will check back to see what we have planned.
