Microsoft Overlooked Its Vision

In 1995, or 6 years before the invention of Tablet PC, William Henry "Bill" Gates III already foretold the importance of internet before that he wrote a memo, entitled: "The Internet Tidal Wave," citing the importance of his company’s focus in the internet’s impact to the corporate world. During that time, Gates was hinting to make yet another brainchild program in the internet—the search engine. But this vision was overlooked because Bill Gates remained concentrated on their foundation—Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—before with great confidence in the company's incessant soar in market share. But 3 years after a fortune telling remark by Gates, Google search engine was born. 

 

With full of dreams and lacking implementation and considering also the antitrust lawsuit and anticompetitive or monopolistic business practices accusation the company experienced from a US judge and computer manufacturers, Microsoft started to be overtaken by other software companies.

Apple and Samsung owe the good business venture they experience nowadays to Microsoft which has long been tarnished by lawsuit and clamor from other PC manufacturers and consumers since 1995. The effect of drama—involving Microsoft of alleged monopolistic practice and harassment to other PC manufacturers including compulsory integration of internet explorer prior to its complete licensing of operating system to manufacturers at that juncture—is still experienced to date.

Can all these failures be attributed to the lawsuit and condemnation lodged against the company that continually affect the company’s integrity to deliver quality and smarter information technology and handset service to the world at the present time?

Accidental Dialect

During or before election time, we frequently hear news about a politician aspiring to be a senatorial or even a presidential candidate. In the same way, reporters, either in print or broadcast media, often mention the word “Presidentiable(s)” or “Senatoriable(s)” in their spiels during reporting.

How To Be Liked On Facebook

As a member of the prestigious and famous social networking site in the world, you know the consequences of any activity that you would do; its do's and don'ts; and the possibility of a "make or break" in a career life.

As such, you are also aware of your network friends who are there to react on what you post or what you express on your mind. It doesn't matter on what mood you are in a particular day or what topic you would like to share—these are all depend on the preferences of your topic; on its impact to your friends and the privacy you set in your account.

By making your account in public setting, it means that you expose yourself to the world. You are very expectant  on its positive and negative consequences this setting would cause you if you would not pay attention to what you are posting or what you are saying. By setting also this in public, your account would have a greater probability to be liked or loathed unlike a setting that delimits yourself to your friends only.

As far as the LIKE is concerned,  neither all people do value LIKE on Facebook. LIKE is an expression, courtesy, appreciation and encouragement to value the post or thinking of a person who made the posting. But  many of us have a high value in LIKING. Not all people can appreciate one's posting in a day. It varies from time to time depending on the mood, category of the topic, event, or thread of the people who view one's account.

So don't pity yourself, instead find a way to be liked by others. Don't be bothered by bunch of likes others may have been getting or by how others find or treat your thoughts like inexistence. If you would value most the LIKE, probably you also have to value what's on your mind before you post it. Tend to the interest of your viewers to draw LIKES and comments from them. Categorized your posting so that you will know what category you are most liked.Or maybe post an interesting topic from different genre that caters most for the people of all ages. By doing such, you would draw LIKES and positive comments from your viewers.
 

The Fall Of Sari-Sari Stores

Because of the intense competition in the market today, sophisticated supermarkets have now capitalized in serving customers at their fingertips. For this reason, supermarket tycoons have launched a more competitive approach towards serving their customers. The ability of 'mom and pop' or sari-sari stores to cater to the needs of their patrons have drastically declined. Since the advent of other convenience stores and local stores available in the streets like Puregold, Savemore, Hypermarket, sari-sari stores nowadays have becoming unpopular owing to their higher commodity prices compare with their giant competitors.

The purpose of launching such a convenience stores is to reach out to buyers who can buy either in retail or wholesale. It doesn't matter now whether purchasers can buy in a small amount for as long as the stores are proximate towards the buying masa. 

Many of suki tend to buy meagerly because of practicality. Unlike in the past, where people were scrambling to shop in a satisfactory way because of anxiety to end up in buying in sari-sari store that charges higher than standard retail price. 

Today, customers treat convenience stores like a conventional sari-sari stores that are readily available now to your convenience. 

Dealing With Hostile and Condescending Boss

Dealing with hostile and condescending superior is the terrible nightmare and ordeal a subordinate can experience in his regular working environment.

As a recipient of this tribulation, I can say that it is still up to the subordinate's resistance to cope with this kind of distress. It can measure his ability to cope and deal with the negativity and invective his boss towards managing employees.

According to a psychiatrist, by this difficult experience, a person's coping mechanism is put to test. Our physical and emotional capabilities adjust tremendously to survive this stressful incidence.

By dealing with such a mental anguish, I readily divert a possible trauma to other outlet such as blogging, reading interesting periodicals, conversing with my friends  and by making them as my buffer against annoyances. Also, I make myself comical to others so as to arouse laughter and fun in facing a difficult phase in a person's life.

Please do not try to collide with  your boss. He's always your superior. Find time to approach him to deal with your grievances. Communicate with your boss always so that he can readily adjust with other problems hounding him nowadays and change his outlook positively towards his rank and file.

Savoring The Unlimited Cusines At Vikings

I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. Many people categorized this eating place as "all-you-can-eat" or popularly know to our dialect as "eat all  you can" service since the foods are unlimited and it really caters to the customers who can pay for almost 1000 Php and reserve seats prior to actual dine-in. You can hardly enter this vast restaurant because of the demanding regular and reserved customers. You will probably call yourself lucky if you would have a chance to enter here as a walk-in customer.

These days, influx of customers going here during lunch is very unbelievable and impressive. Considering the inflation we experience in the economy nowadays and the surging in petroleum products in the market.

Many of us in the office were first timers in Vikings of SM Marikina. The branch also filled with different and traditional cuisines like Japanese, Chinese, American-origin delicacies. I am not a newbie with this particular lollapalooza. Just like any other restaurant like Kamayan, Saisaki, The Heat, Cabalen, Barrio Fiesta and Pinausukan that I had been through —not including other cheap but reasonable all-you-can-eat restaurants in Kalayaan, Quezon City, Vikings has an enigmatic service that keep their customers get back again after spending almost one thousand bucks. The interiors are good as if you were actually in a hotel and the comfort room is very clean and attractive to use. What's more, the restaurant is also equipped with wi-fi connectivity so anytime of the day you can upload pictures online.

Compare to other restaurants of the same category, Vikings has a an integrity to boast because of its wide array of fresh foods to choose from; courteous and approachable attendants; and credibility to draw crowds of hungry customers who prefer to satisfy and satiate themselves with palatable and delectable foods like these.
