Yahoo was under considerable scrutiny from its shareholders, with some even filing lawsuits.

Now, Microsoft has announced that it is officially moving forward in other directions. Having tired of waiting for Yahoo to decide, or to budge on its high price demands, Microsoft recently announced that it is dropping its offer to buy internet giant Yahoo.

Consumers are constantly told of the benefits of buying in bulk. Is buying in bulk right for your company? As with most business advice, it varies depending on the unique needs of your business, but here is some general advice to keep in mind. First of all, buying in bulk is not always a deal. One store may advertise bulk prices on products that are actually cheaper in smaller quantities at a different outlet.

Secondly, keep in mind the practical limitations of your workspace. If you have limited storage space, it will be easier to buy many pens than chairs. Lastly, consider the timeliness of some office supplies. Buying 40 toners for a printer that will soon be replaced is not the wisest choice. However, most offices will never stop needing things like coffee filters and paper, so stocking up when they go on sale is a good idea.

That said, as workplaces become more and more technologically advanced, paper is in far less demand. GoFaxer is on the cutting edge of progress that lets you use your paper, and more importantly your time, more efficiently. Internet faxing from GoFaxer is a simple way to cut costs and increase the ease and efficiency of nearly every aspect of your business.

Workstation ergonomics are a key aspect to healthy work in the modern office.  The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has some key points of advice for people who spend much of their time at a desk in front of a computer. These help you work without putting undue strain on your body, which in turns makes you more comfortable and effective at your work.

OSHA advises keeping the space on and under your desk free of clutter. The monitor should go directly in front of your face at eye level or just below. You should be able to reach your keyboard and mouse without stretching your arms too far forward. Maintain an upright posture with a chair that supports your lower back, and rest your feet flat on the floor. A wrist guard for your keyboard and mouse can help you remember to keep your wrists straight and protected.

Workplace ergonomics help minimize the stress on employee’s bodies. GoFaxer helps minimize the stress on a business’s resources and patience. Our online faxing service requires no phone lines or software. You can send multiple faxes at once, and we even filter spam faxes.
