Link to original article: http://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/8-core-beliefs-of-extraordinary-bosses.html The best managers have a fundamentally different understanding of workplace, company, and team dynamics. See what they get right. A few years back, I interviewed some of the most successful CEOs in the world in order to discover their management secrets. I learned that the "best of the best" tend to share the following eight core beliefs. 1. Business is an ecosystem, not a battlefield. Average bosses see business as a conflict between companies, departments and groups. They build huge armies of "troops" to order about, demonize competitors as "enemies," and treat customers as "territory" to be conquered. Extraordinary bosses see business as a symbiosis where the most diverse firm is most likely to survive and thrive. They naturally create teams that adapt easily to new markets and can quickly form partnerships wit...

Visual effects are often times pleasing, add a value to the experience and increase usability. Yet more often or not we come across some things that irk even the most patient of us. There have been few such things for me. I'll list them below: 1. KDE's busy pointer: Seriously how can be couple of balls rotating around is in any way relational to busy? In my opinion a clock, or a spinning hourglass (classic busy pointer), or a flashing icon of the busy app, or a circular arrow are more closer in meaning to busy. 2. Unity's launch feedback for newly launched application when the said app is not in focus ( the icon shake ): A bright glowing/flashing icon suits this action more than the current feedback which I call as "icon shake". Windows 7 has a better implementation for this (Bright yellow highlighted icon). 3. Windows 7 application launch as well as close effects: I don't know if other people find this as affecting to them, but our perception of how s...

I have been using Netbeans since last one and half year. I use the PHP edition since that's what I work on in Netbeans. Netbeans PHP and Javascript support is very good. It provides autosuggest as well as functions metadata which helps me tremendously in getting lot of work done in as little time as possible. Now I'm not going to talk about Netbeans and how good I have found it for LAMP applications development, but rather I'll be focusing on a the tool in question i.e. diff which is provided in Tools menu. Once we select Diff from Tools menu, netbeans throws up a Open file dialog, using which we select the file we are going to diff against current file (Or file in current tab). Once we have selected other file we are taken to a graphical view where we get to see the difference between both of them highlighted in red/green and blue colors. And this display helps us to quickly navigate to the areas where the files differ. Also we are shown buttons using which we can in...

Usually I don't share any movies here! But this one was a class apart! Machine Gun Preacher (2012) Starring Gerard Butler as Sam Childers IMDB LINK: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1586752/ P.S. The movie is violent and some scenes are so full of gore that you are needed to have strong guts to stomach it!

I login to this website I just registered to and it lands me to this page with 3 adorable animals... But even after 5 minutes I'm right there and nothing else is showing up; so I'm flustered. I look around and then decide to scroll down. And so I came to know "SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED!"

Today I replied to all messages in my Spam folder with following: "I forecast your doom oh small being!"

Having some serious serial trouble here... While trying to find a solution I stumbled onto following. It's pretty informative and funny when at the end when the guy gets the solution! Schu1212 07-08-2009, 01:46 I am trying to communicate to a serial thermal printer and I can't seem to get it to work. I can work with a serial LCD and my code works fine for that, but I'm not sure with the printer if it's my code or my circuit that is messing me up. Can I just run a ground and serial output to the printer direct wired? Or are there other components I'm missing? I'm new to serial programming and interfacing. I understand the concept of the programming, but I am not familiar with the actual connections. I am using a 40x2 and hsersetup b9600_8,%010 hserout 0,($1b,$40) $1b,$40 is what the printer company told me was initialize the printer. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Jim papaof2 07-08-2009, 03:17 ...

***This is not a review! Why: I broke my 2 years faithful Zen V Plus when it left my hands and sailed on it’s final fall on the concrete surface of the road; the blame is one me for handling it so! Later I collected all it’s pieces which were one part display, other part the bottom board and the badly broken display cable. It was beyond salvage! When: Unfortunately I didn’t have a decent cellphone to help me listen to music. (Actually I like to keep my music separate from cellphone! ) Well, I managed couple of months and then it became impossible to live to the silence; so I did a fair bit of market research and almost settled on a Sony Ericsson Walkman 4GB basic model, but after seeing it in person I was turned off at it’s toy like appearance – apparently I’m one of those guys who don’t like toy like gadgets! I like my gadget’s serious! :D How: Anyway, so after some more market research and fair bit of nail biting, I settled on the zen mosaic. Actually the shop where...

Nokia 1203 ***I HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THAT THIS PHONE HAS A COOLSAND CT1000 CPU; GOD FORBID IF IT'S MORE THAN 20MHz!!!  Well, for a thousand indian bucks you better be satisfied with coolsand (The God Thundered!!!)   Along with the release of the Nokia 1202, Nokia released a similar handset, the 1203, which has only one difference: a new keypad. While not as good looking as the 1202, the 1203's keypad is easily the most user-friendly keymat ever designed, making it a phone to die for at least if you're budget is limited. Design and Looks The Nokia 1203 is one of the slimmest and smallest handsets ever made. It is similar to the 1202 in every respect but features a different keypad. The keypad, like the phone itself, is an evolution of design; Nokia have been making and perfecting such basic handsets over the years. The Nokia 1203 is the beneficiary of this evolution. It is fairly compact sporting small dimensions. It is thin at the waist but featur...
