Some people think they are stuck in a dead-end job because they are victims of circumstance. When, more often than not, this is something that we have either passively, or by default chosen for ourselves. If you happen to be one of those people who feel that you are stuck in a dead-end job that doesn’t quite challenge your mind, there are some things to do to keep you entertained. One of those things is to make plan. After all, lack of planning is probably the reason why you ended up in this predicament in the first place. Nevertheless while you are planning to change your life for the better you still need to wade through the days and hours of monotony at your boring job. If your job is somewhat physical and also monotonous you may need a way to entertain yourself. A great way to do this is to have an MP3 player handy. Nothing makes the mood lighter and happier than listening to music while you work. I have known people who’ve worked in the warehouse at UPS, and as they were stacking and slinging boxes, they were happily rocking out to their favorite tunes. → Read More March 31st, 2011, Mark Williams  As a businessperson, you understand that your reputation plays a critical role in your continuing success. If your name is being talked about in negative ways, especially on the internet, those adverse comments can provide the spark that incinerates your online reputation. Social media can be instrumental in the making or the breaking of a business, so negative comments (Tweckle) on sites like Twitter can be especially damaging. If you have not yet experienced any critical tweets, you are fortunate. That gives you time to prepare a plan in case an unhappy customer does decide to begin bashing you on Twitter.

According to market research firm IDC, over 101 million smart phones were shipped in Q4 2010 as compared to 92 million personal computers. This massive shift towards smart phones indicates that consumers will increasingly prefer smaller and portable smart phones and tablets instead of personal computers in the years ahead. This view is bolstered by the fact that the smart phone market grew by an astounding 87% in Q4 2010 as compared to a paltry 5.5% growth for personal computers. → Read More January 18th, 2011, Anup Nair  The recent news of Apple ending its iPhone exclusivity pact with AT&T has been welcomed by a large number of dissatisfied AT&T customers. The iPhone 4 is set to debut on Verizon’s telecom network shortly. One wonders why this didn’t happen sooner. Unlike America, the iPhone 4 is available across multiple networks all over Europe. The advantage of having a single technological standard (GSM) for mobile telephony has given European mobile phone customers the option of choosing their networks at will. On the other hand, American wireless providers have developed their own networks on diverse platforms (GSM, CDMA and VOIP) making it difficult for customers to jump from one network to the other. → Read More December 8th, 2010, Michael Danielson  Google announced its Chrome OS last summer, and the net has been chattering about it ever since. The operating system is purported to represent the opposite of the ‘bloatware’ that has infested mainstream operating systems — offering up the Web and little else in a quick, small operating system designed to boot fast, get you online fast, and surf fast. Linus Upson — Google’s engineering Vice President and the man in charge of the Chrome OS — told the New York Times that Google would be introducing a Chrome OS-powered netbook before the end of the year. (Hopefully, it’ll come out in time for Christmas!) The netbook will be produced by another company, but branded by Google, much like the Nexus One, which uses the Android operating system, also owned by Google. → Read More December 3rd, 2010, Michael Danielson  There are a lot of factors to take into account when you’re shopping for a flat-screen TV for your favorite guy or significant figure.
