Thanks to Guy Kawasaki for pointing out this article, from the new york magazine, which reflects on the effects of lack of sleep, in teenagers.The article explains and exphasizes the need for children to get their FULL sleep.Yes, that extra hour does matter.
On and off, I keep emphasizing creativity and how,it is present in every child and,in Sir Ken Robinson’s words, we are squandering it. Here’s this truly interesting speech by Sir Ken Robinson, who is a leading expert on innovation, creativity and human resources.If you’ve no clue who Sir Ken Robinson is,here’s the wikipedia entry.Back to what I was saying earlier, this is an amazing speech by him on Education and Creativity. Must see. Here’s the link
Apple Inc, on monday announced its quarterly results. The profits have exceeded the Wall street average. Up from $542 Million to $904 Million (QoQ). This comes to a 67 Percent rise in Apple’s profits.
The Wall Street analysts predicted 85 cents/share, the turnout? $1.01/Share. And the best of all, Apple’s climbing back to join the league of dominant computer makers. Time to celebrate I guess?
I’m not sure how many of you’ve already heard of this. Internet Operating System. Yes, an operating system, well your whole desktop, straight online! Everything that you type, your files, music, folders, everything is stored at a remote server and you can access it from anywhere. How good is that? Well i’m not sure!
But the fact remains that, as the day passes, more and more offline applications are going online,with word processing and office applications leading the way. So i guess it is the OS next? Here’s something that i came across. YouOS. The underlying concept is to take the desktop online.
I read this article and immediately decided to try it out. Plays most of the media formats present in the universe today! Give it a try . Its cool!
Here’s some terrific stuff! This is something that i’ve been wanting to write, for a real long time, but i didn’t have any statistics to support it. And now, finally!One of my cousins, sent me this interesting (interesting? this is WHOPPING!!!) statistic.
An iPhone shows a “20% battery remaining” alert after being used for 7 Hours and 25 minutes on video and web usage. It shows the same alert after being used for 19 Hours and 52 Minutes of music (or audio). Now this is what I call power management.
That’s the highlight of the entrepreneurial world. Everything revolves around presentations and how well you can sell.Loads of advice are offered by people to entrepreneurs on how to pitch and “sell ” the idea to VCs and investors. But its only the quality ones that make a difference. Remembering that presentations are tools to convey a concept or an idea, and that at the end of the day, its the concept or the product that’s going to make the difference and not how we’ve animated each slide, is of great importance.
Here’s a great one on how to present, by Guy Kawasaki, a must read.
Unlike the yesteryears of the internet, now we have a range of new channels that we can make use of to disseminate information. Podcasts, Blogs, Videocasts, VideoBlogs etc are serving as a great platform to communicate and pass on informations. I think its time we develop a common platform for all these services and help them get integrated as one. Any thoughts?
