Innovation = iPod$?… @#$% NO!

Innovation is all about improvement. That is what real innovation is. A newer, better, improved way to do something, whether it’s for everybody, or just you. You can innovate something but it will almost always be an improvement of something else.

That is the perspective I believe in, when it come to something like innovation. But I’m not just saying that you can’t come up with completely something new which has never been done before, which adds something for yourself or humanity in our everyday lives. Any one personal is capable of that.

But, what is important is the process of how to get there. How to start thinking about it. Don’t just look around and eliminate what is out there already and cross it out on your list, that’s the first and biggest mistake. You need to take what’s out there, fuse them, cut and paste ideas back and forth, narrow it down and make it your own. Then if that works for you first, then there is a much greater chance of the idea, product or method, etc. becoming widely accepted and used. Rather than if you think it will work for someone else first.

If you need an opinion, don’t as a stranger nor should you look at it in that perspective. Ask your family, and or friends. That is the true better way to get an answer, which will really work to perhaps help improve and or finish what you are doing.

That to me is innovation, that is what creates the drive.

After having carefully reviewed all of the three options; I have presumed that solar energy is the most viable and realistic option for an individual. I believe that in the future many cities will be build in the deserts as oasis cities. Forming leading representative communities of self sufficient labor and production plants.

Ability to operate outside the energy grid is something very possible today. But I also believe that there is a larger picture to see here. That Solar technology has advanced enough into stages where it converts energy into large enough quantifiable fuel source to feed the entire United States energy consumption…

I believe in optimist and to always seeing the bright side of things, in this case literally. People must overcome obstacles by climbing over using innovation through utilization of tools that are made available for us by science, technology and necessity.

Here is a list of ten sunniest and windiest cities in the U.S.

General facts

• Solar Energy is better for the environment than traditional forms of energy.
• Solar energy has many uses such as electricity production and heating of water through photovoltaic cells and directly for drying clothes.
• Solar energy can also be used to heat swimming pools, power cars, for attic fans, calculators and other small appliances. It produces lighting for indoors or outdoors.
• You can even cook food with solar energy.
• Solar Energy is becoming more and more popular. The worldwide demand for Solar Energy is currently greater than supply.

Facts about Solar Energy usage:

• Solar Energy is measured in kilowatt-hour. 1 kilowatt = 1000 watts.
• 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = the amount of electricity required to burn a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours.
• According to the US Department of Energy, an average American household used approximately 866-kilowatt hours per month in 1999 costing them $70.68.
• About 30% of our total energy consumption is used to heat water.

Facts about Solar Energy systems:

• A home solar system is typically made up of solar panels, an inverter, a battery, a charge controller, wiring and support structure.
• A 1-kilowatt home solar system takes about 1-2 days to install and costs around US$10,000, but can vary greatly and does not take into account any incentives offered by the government.
• A 1-kilowatt home solar system consists of about 10-12 solar panels and requires about 100 square feet of installation area.
• A 1 kilowatt home solar system will generate approximately 1,600 kilowatt hours per year in a sunny climate (receiving 5.5 hours of sunshine per day) and approximately 750 kilowatt hours per year in a cloudy climate (receiving 2.5 hours of sunshine per day).
• A 1-kilowatt home solar system will prevent approximately 170 lbs. of coal from being burned, 300 lbs of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere and 105 gallons of water from being consumed each month!
• About 40 solar cells are usually combined into a solar panel and around 10-12 panels mounted in an array facing due North to receive maximum sunlight.
• The system usually comes with a 5-year warranty, although the solar panels are warranted for 20.
• Relying on the battery back up, a solar energy system can provide electricity 24×7, even on cloudy days and at night.
• Solar panels come in various colours.
• Solar energy can be collected and stored in batteries, reflected, insulated, absorbed and transmitted.

Sun related Facts about Solar Energy:

• Sunlight travels to the earth in approximately 8 minutes from 93,000,000 miles away, at 186,282 miles per second.
• The sun is also the main source of non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, gas and petroleum), which began life as plants or animals whose energy came from the sun millions of year ago.
• Solar energy is responsible for weather patterns and ocean currents.
• Clouds, pollution and wind can prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth.

Other Interesting Facts about Solar Energy:

• Da Vinci predicted a solar industrialization as far back as 1447.
• In one hour more sunlight falls on the earth than what is used by the entire population in one year.
• A world record was set in 1990 when a solar powered aircraft flew 4060km across the USA, using no fuel.
• Fierce weather cost the world a record $130 Billion in the first eleven months of 1998- more money than was lost from weather related disasters from 1980 to 1990 ($82 Billion).
• Researchers from the Worldwatch Institute and Munich Re blame deforestation and climate change from Earth warming for much of the loss. The previous one-year record was $90 Billion in 1996. Source – Associated Press, November 28,1998.
• About 2 billion people in the world are currently without electricity.
• Accounting for only 5 percent of the world’s population, Americans consume 26 percent of the world’s energy.
• Electric ovens consume the most amount of electricity, followed by microwaves and central air conditioning.
• Third world countries with an abundance of sunlight and a population currently without electricity, represents the fastest growing market for solar energy, with the largest domestic market being the utilities sector.
• Shell Oil predicts that 50% of the world’s energy will come from renewable sources by 2040.

It comes down to two things, WiMax and LTE. By now the market knows what they are, and who is on which train. But, what need to be cleared is what the reality of these systems present in relevance to performance. Both technologies have been so far proven as reliable network upgrades and have slowly delivered as promoted.

So who is doing it right? Clearwire is the best major player in this for several reasons.

First having already the largest 4G spectrum on the market is an incredible feat which they hold hold. No matter what system the provider uses the end result is the same on all ends. Commercially Clearwire has an advantage already where it is seeing continued growth in retail sector of its service operations, and gaining trust of the consumers. What needs to be taken away from this part is that people are not going to buy WiMax or LTE, they are going to buy what is available and what works on the standard. Clearwire is becoming that brand to represent this trend.

Clearwires ties to its majority shareholder Sprint is largely perceived as a negative outlook on the companies standing ground for the present and in the future; but the market needs to understand the real upside to this. Sprints relationship with Clearwire is strictly business, that means that all decision are going to be made based on the right side of thinking, and goals. Both sides are keeping things competitive to achieve the best results in a true capitalistic form. They are not better betting with their hearts that’s for sure.

So far both technically and fundamentally the results have been very good on Clearwire’s end. They have a substantially increasing subscriber growth with a functioning service business model. Down a very short line once the dust settles with the company in the public. If the marketing and advertisements required the public choice awareness of WiMax or LTE. Clearewire is a winner on either side, because in reality they can also do both.

If LTE becomes a requirement, by which all means is not. Clearwire can easily convert its service to that system and trump the entire LTE competition, because of their own massive spectrum If Clearwire chooses to go on LTE, it will hold over double the spectrum of what Verizon LTE has.

But this in the long run again is not about WiMax or LTE. It’s about getting subscribers and making money. People are not going to buy WiMax or LTE, they are going to buy a brand. Clearwire is the only one which I believe is getting this, all they have to continue doing is raising the consumer market awareness. And the internet ad-space is dominated by their ads.

While I don’t disagree with the importance of security in middle-east; I do disagree on the importance and relevance of their economical and social impact on the markets around the world.

CANADA, MEXICO, SAUDI ARABIA, NIGERIA, VENEZUELA, IRAQ, ANGOLA, BRAZIL, ALGERIA, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, RUSSIA, KUWAIT, UNITED KINGDOM, and ARGENTINA. These are the top 15 countries we import Crude Oil from respective in the amount; largest beginning with Canada. Results from the end of last quarter in 2010.

Listed nations above are in very good relationship status with Unites States, and to remain so for the distance in the foreseeable future. They are also stable and secure in terms of social satisfaction and progressing economical prosperity.

This entire middle-east uprising in terms of oil production in no more volatile than the BP oil rig crash last year. Here is a fun math equation on our oil consumption, production and imports.

rounded to the nearest million

Consumption 19
-Production 9
-Import 11
———————
Left over 1 million bbl/day

United States only shows ‘Oil – proved reserves’ which is “…high degree of confidence to be commercially recoverable…” But what about this 1 million bbl/day that is left over. Annually then there is 365 million bbl/ day left in real reserves, over a decade 3650 billion bbl/day that is put in reserve. Now I’m sure that there is many more years which have gone on with this whole scheme, so I’m pretty confident that the whole oil price fluctuations is all but a wonderful work of capitalism.

If there is money to be made and there is a way, you can bet sure that speculation will take its way.

What is the difference and the important of both.

Media Analysts tend to deliver a more larger and unified message across the market, which is usually the first to have a reaction to. Now I know that now everyone says tomato the same, but the point is there. There are many point of views on the market but the ones that get the most attention and reaction to are the ones who are most reputable; but still never 100% right.

That’s where Independent Research comes in. Now, this is not something that you go and look for online, which I’m sure when you will try you will come across many companies and sites which offer products under this title. But the key and the whole point of this is to do it yourself.

To fill in all the important gaps and to see whether the Media Market sentiment is right or not, you must do your own research at the same time, not before or after the market. Then you will get to the bottom and make a better decision. It’s is important to have your own opinion on certain things, but keep in mind to remain flexible and to sometimes accept a correction to your conclusions .

Cross referencing the two is vital to understanding and narrowing down your decision and outlook. On the bottom I have included certain terms to learn, which I believe can open a mind to different views .

Media Buy

What Does Media Buy Mean?

The purchase of advertising from a media company such as a television station, newspaper, magazine, blog or website. The price of the media buy depends on the specifics of the advertising campaign.

Investopedia explains Media Buy
On a website, the price would be determined by factors such as where the ad will be placed on the page, how many pages of the website the ad will appear on, how large the ad will be, how many days the ad will run for, how much traffic the website receives and the website’s user demographics. The more exposure the advertiser is expected to receive, the more expensive the media buy will usually be.

Media Effect

What Does Media Effect Mean?
A theory that relates how stories published in the media influence or amplify current trends. Borrowers or investors will read an article and be influenced to act quickly on the news. The media effect is often seen in the mortgage market, when prepayment rates can sharply increase following specific news stories.

Investopedia explains Media Effect
The media effect causes increases in the number of refinanced mortgages during low interest rate periods. For example, let’s say The New York Times publishes a story revealing a drop in interest rates and how it relates to mortgages. The media effect dictates that those who read the article are more likely to increase the prepayment rates on their mortgages and refinance according to the story.

This is article is written in my own personal perspective.

When you are working in an information based business, it is important to create a dynamic method for daily use which you can always stop and continue on demand. Here is my take.

Establish a research system by understanding and creating the technical and fundamental outline of what it is that you are going for and need. Use this to derive an elemental focus on multiple aspects of your research. Explore and find sources that meet and feed the specific criteria’s that are important to establishing proper and relative conclusive data; some aspects should include live information, related historical tracking and forecasts, and sentiments.

Momentum is the key driving all sources. Media analysis and independent research must always be cross referenced, in order to completely understand the full circle of events and leveling up proper precautionary actions.

Logic requires work. Do not be passive. It is a silly trick that all our minds play on us when we decide to ignore our limitations after falling into a pattern or a sort of negative momentum without realization; bringing about competence and rational issues.

Always have a dynamic plan. When executions begin to take place during work, it is easy to let go of principal factors which are suppose to help you succeed. Usually a result of prosperous experience. So we must bounce back.

Do not be afraid to test your research in the real world and make necessary improvements if needed. Experience is an extremely important value in research, is narrows down your time consumption and applies more effective decisions making. One thing that is even more better than a correct decision, is the one that is timed right.

I believe that executions are important after research conclusions. It eliminates doubt, builds further confidence, expands knowledge and proprieties direction.

Be patient! But when it’s time to move don’t cut the rope from the top right away, leave room to climb back up sometimes. So briskly evaluate the situation and make moves which don’t burn.

However Steve Jobs does justify his decisions and I do approve of them, because the flash-player does crash A LOT! And that is something I would not want happening on my iPhone, ever… And, Apple being the control freaks that they are I can only imagine how much the Skyfire developers had to go through to get this approved onto iTunes.

But the undeniable potential of this application is not something that anyone can resist. It’s also a guilty free way for Apple to kind of give the people what they want; So no finger prints here!

Personally many of the sites which I visit through my desktop which have content based on Flash, luckily have already developed either an App or a mobile version of their site where I can already view these contents on! But there are still a lot of content on the Internet which have come to the submission to Apple yet.

It’s finally great to view live streaming on the iPhone. Cobert, South Park, Versus… etc.  When you turn on the App, it loads the home-screen page. On top none other than Google powered search engine! some top news, an ad, and my favorite, Featured Sites. Featured sites is basically all the reasons why I just paid $2.99 for something which is totally free otherwise.

I must give it to Skyfire Labs, Inc. Because they found one of the biggest if not the biggest loops holes for the iPhone.

At first I felt disappointed because some flash based websites would not load onto the App, but I later found that some of the companies like, HULU did allow them to do it. But there are apparently quite a few which you can, but none of which I normally visit I guess. So these guys are running into more walls than I first had thought. I mean I can understand HULU’s capital reasoning behind their rejection; and they do have an App on the iPhone kind of. And it’s very limited, because you can’t use it unless you are invited and probably paid in the near future and who knows what else.

As much as I find it nearly impossible to turn something free into something you would later have to pay for. I consider that an amazing accomplishment. I think that HULU can do it because they will be able to get certain specific licensed contents which have heavy demand. It’s just a matter of working out the right price!

Back to Skyfire. So I must applaud the Skyfire Labs, Inc. for accomplishing this great feat of trouble even more success. Also to add another point; this is a very specific accomplishment but I feel that guys over at Skype! can learn a thing or two form this. So, Skyfire is a big welcoming App to the iPhone, I just hope that there are more rea$onable ways of handling this type of situations. Ahem!

Still in alpha development stage, the game takes you inside the best idea of what a sandbox open-world game-play should be. You get started off in a randomly generated world of trees, hills, mountains, rock and water and what not with a little full of life inhabitants from piglets to bow and arrow shooting skeletons O_o. Weather does vary, I think. considering that this is still in just alpha development there are so many things which are yet to be complete, changed, added and further developed.

The game environments are build out of 8bit era 3D blocks of rock, mud and water, etc. With these blocks, which you will break at will and craft out tons of progressive combination’s of elements that are used build your world only limited by your imagination and TIME!

I don’t know what category of games this really belongs to because I feel that it’s so unique in which way the things work and are styled to play. I feel that this game belongs in a category of it’s own, because it is like its self in how it is, where many elements are crafted together which create a separate element all together and so forth.

When playing this game there is this bizarre feeling of things, but at the same time it work really well and feels right. I guess it’s because you are able to literally take the entire level apart and make it into anything that you would sought it to be, from entire full scale buildings, theme parks, cities and giant scale models of popular sci-fi spacecraft models. A video on the right MEDIA demos some of these things.

Design and visual style for this game is probably laughable when you first get a glimpse of the game, but the style properly suits this it. And it’s more than makes for it in several ways. Just by observing the shear scale of the games levels and the ability to think and build anything you want is just jaw-dropping awesome and nothing short of awesome sense effort and accomplishment. And the innovation of this game is just off the charts.

Already a hit commercial success, meaning it’s not free, though you may thinks so the way the game looks first appears to be. So it’s not expensive at all and you can even play free versions of the game. Currently it’s available at a discount price for a pre-release alpha version and the once the full game is out you’ll get a free upgrade. And once you play and really get a sense of what this game is about you’ll know that it’s worth every penny!

While you can completely play this game alone. The idea here is to build and show off your worlds in vast community of players, both on and offline. You can now join custom servers where players are looking for helpers to assist in their ideas and worlds, or you can just combine an army of players and build something out of this world. Creations here also are so massive and time consuming that some of the things I’ve seen online look impossible. But when we work with our minds more so many things are infinitely possible. So get plugged in the join the epic revolution.

I would personally love to see a live blog a community of player get together, form a huge project and blog the entire process of it’s creation. It would draw an amazing amount of attention and community support!

Here is a video an use creating ‘Working 16-bit computer built inside Minecraft’… After watching and exploring further details about the game and it’s community, the developer and so forth. I have found that. The game comes with further attainable tools that you can use to edit the levels with unlimited instant supply of element blocks and free mode views to create everything. This game has a very steep learning curve in the beginning and there is a lot of time and research required to get the elements fitted onto your design ideas.

Ergo this is a community based cumulative effort and  you must add yourself to the information and experience put out-there to, whom are by now veteran users. There is MINEPEDIA which is a great way to get started into this world.

I’m going to blast through several subject here so… This is a quote I took from an article written at GamePro.com titled “The differences between Japanese and Western iPhone development” It talks about the cross of how Japanese development teams and Western publishers are taking place because of the ‘even playing field’ opportunities provided by the western markets via iPhone.

As technologically advanced Japan is over the western commercial markets; the article/quote shows that the actual product potential is heavily limited because of the fractures created by uneven forward momentum of the overall hardware and software development. I’m not saying that we are completely opposite in the western markets and here. And honestly the only major attraction existing here that has an even playing field for the foreign market mobile developers is still and only the iPhone.

Android is the closest thing that comes near to iOS, (with Windows Phone 7 showing great potential). But currently Android’s insolvency to effectively challenge iPhone remains, due to the lack of proper hardware support. Because certain version of Android’s OS gets stuck on phones with no possible solutions for further updates. This fragmentation is created cause there are too many variations of the hardware systems carrying Android OS, and though they may have the same OS design in core, not all phones can specifically handle future OS version and updates which then support the new Apps that are built around them. So certain phones can only handle certain version of the OS, and they fall behind because the hardware’s inability to support the further updated/developed OS’s. (Phones get stuck on the certain OS versions due to the lack of proper or hardware specification requirements to progress, where iPhones is one system, one design and powerful enough to keep with certain long-term updates, giving the consumer time to adapt to newer platforms). Effect… Androids claim to having over 100,000 Apps is not the full picture that they are painting. Because 30% of their Apps may only support version 1.0, another 30% can only support version 1.6 and so forth, and with new hardware’s coming out faster than the contract expiring things can get sour.

Many would blame Apple’s dominance in the market on their ownerships of patents that limit hardware and software developers from doing things right in one big shot. And that truth is that the competing companies really have no choice but to do what they do; so every-time they find loophole or a different way of doing the same thing without causing the billion dollar lawsuit, they apply to the new hardware and dump it on the market.

So who can blame them; coming under the wrath of iPhone’s success majority of these cell-phone manufacturing companies were forced to scramble in-order save their market capital values and moreover sustain some forms of their falling market shares. And to add more, all major wireless mobile carriers services almost completely opted out on contracts categorically to not purchase anymore phone systems other than smart-phone devices. Because there is simply way more money to be made on these system.

So in all cases is seems that there is no option but to wait and see when the competing companies will balance out their problems, by slowly evolving their products into more narrower lines and more unified operating hardware platforms. As they say sometimes, less is more!

Why are there so many versions of Android?

Well the iPhone’s patent bag is something that’s not so easy to get around. And if and when they do it’s usually it’s one company at a time, with one phone at a time. So these include both hardware and software advancements through sometimes finding loopholes or just a different way of doing the same thing without causing a billion dollar lawsuit. In additions there carrier specific demands. HTC, Motorola and Samsung will all find a different ways of doing things it but they wont share with each other… etc. etc. Where Apple is totally the opposite on where it has an amazing leverage over their service provider partners to do things more their way, and they also have a safe unified form of operations and developments. But again I believe that over time the competing companies will catch up. Especially now the game will get more interesting as Windows Phone 7 in the bigger mix. Plus there are so many developers support the other platform because of easier development restrictions and etc.

Also in the years from 1979-1981 the inflation levels were around 12%. Then after the gold started to come down, the inflation also went down gradually to about an average of 2.5-5% and now it seems that we are on our way back up to that trend of the inflation levels. There is an exact repeating pattern here from what I see on the charts.

So next year we could be looking at an average rate of 3.5-7% increase to inflation. And after next year when it starts to hit around 10%+ levels we could see that level run for around a couple of years and expect the gold to drop down about 50% in value from the particular price (So then would be a great time to capitalize on all commodities). I think that it’s important to watch the levels by understanding the real correct value of things by the markets, and where they are trading at; instead of trying the time the things. Because time does not tell value, the real value is told from adjusted historical comparisons and fundamental growth.

As a company when you design and sell products/services like Apple does, you must follow a strict code of rules and conduct. On this behalf, in the beginning many supporting companies/developers complained and failed to understand the reasoning behind this system of operations.

As a company this size the most important operation company must focus on is protecting and serving its consumers, everything else comes second. Apple has accomplished this with certain first few things. Amazing product design and quality control, strict system development guidelines for developers to maintain product quality, support and company image. And Apple may be tough, but follow their game-plan and they will support you to the end and leave you very happy!

Now, the company has shot up to establishing its self as the second largest company in the world by market capital and arguably the most important computer and electronics company. So their system has proven its self, and moreover it has made everyone happy.

How Apple has protected it’s consumers is an amazing leap of accomplishment on its own. Top satisfactory all across all of its product lines, top of the line sales/support service, amazing OS/UI and software/application quality and variety. And an amazingly satisfied supporting companies and developers. And above all consumer confidence in their product/services, through their market leadership.

Not to say that… there have and are companies with an amazing array of products with great quality and support. But Apple took it to a new level; by doing exactly the opposite of what major companies of its caliber normally do; which is to not force the markets but to win the markets.

Apple cant implement this business model in the corporate industry, because they require honestly a whip! And they should not because it will effect their company image and respected business model. But who know, look at what they have done far!

This is taking place in Beijing; But we should not fall behind in US as the designer Song Youzhou has founded US Elevated High Speed Bus (Group) Inc. I believe that the major metropolitan locations New York, Los Angeles, etc. can take an amazing advantage of this opportunity. This project affects so much more than street, it goes to improve environmental situations, logistic security, and most important time.

I believe that these types of improvement developments are imminent for leveling-up societies and economies forward. There are many concept projects that are like this out there which should be brought to funding/development asap. The best system to cure recessions is to create more economic expansions as consistently as possible; or at-least to ease the effects.

Originally complex electronic components manufacturing have been preserved for domestic production; building R&D facilities around corporate headquarters and government/military agencies. But the growth of commercial markets in size, power and demand have expanded the specific needs/demands and securities larger than ever. The behemoths of the industrial nations have kept this close at heart at all times, because few knew the potential of its capital and social infrastructure improvement capabilities in the societies.

One country which has benefited most from outsourcing of the industrial and corporate production, is China. Luckily China is abundant in the rare-earth elements required for building and advancing technology for all fronts. China is the largest and vastly developing powerhouse which is racing its-self in not to surpass the competing capital markets, but to become independent from it; in which it is largely their capability to do so. How ever external investments and foreign power influences of wealth and spoils leverage them back from going full speed ahead.

Never the less China is on track to its ultimate goal. So in this case any country in China’s positions would do the same by cutting back exports in such areas and keep it largely to its self. Like all economic/super-power houses have done before it; USA, USSR, UK, GERMANY. Future ones may be countries like BRAZIL. I don’t mention Japan here because they get around these type of thing differently; funny being the most technologically advanced country in the world, but that’s why they are.

In addition I believe that there are investments opportunities in this far beyond directly into  shares of such companies dealing with these rare-earth metals, etc. There are a lot of companies specializing in developing artificial elements, such as magnets, specialized plastics, advanced micro semi- conductors, and etc. To create an alternative routes at many levels for specific need/demand.

These is going to become the next front in corporate cold-war.

At first I was excited looking at the companies lined up displaying their LCD screens with demos, giving away products and using scheme marketing techniques to lure people into their brand. After walking around for a few minutes and taking a couple of fliers, I took a step back saw what was going on. I began to realize the market has fallen behind on qualified representatives who have knowledgeable expertise of the field.

Then I realized why all this was. First, sales jobs always employee temps, and ones who follow guide lines barely. Next was that the real guys are on top where the real competitions is. And that’s where it hit me, their products were displayed and competitions was very relaxed, from the lack of innovation, dynamic business solutions and future service guarantees.

There was none but one company that just caught my interest. And that was Clearwire Corporation (Clearwire will give you faster internet at home, at work and on the go, so that people everywhere will have the magic of the internet with them all the time).

But it was not only their services that interested me, it was what you could do with those services. Apart from leasing their networks to Sprint and Verizon for 4G and LTE signals; Clearwire operates it’s sales-force under its own brand, so the huge plus in that is they provide their signals as OEM as well.

So if you have an ideas/opportunity for a fantastic business plan, brand and image development you can take this OEM service. Bundle it with a product and grab your own share of the amazing and hugely booming market. I believe that there is a ton of potential with this type of company. All it takes is the right research to develop what can work; And from there it’s a cake.

Typically inventions require working in none structured environments (with some experience in structured) where things flow freely and need attention on-demand. Where in structured environments you have preexisting operations, manuals and run-time schedules where it would normally be considered easier operate in; but in my opinion not, because there are too many limitations.

I believe that living life is a lot like playing a guitar. Eddy Van Halen was one asked if he ever took formal guitar lessons, and he said “No, that’s why I do all this crazy stuff. You only have 12 notes, do what you want with them”. And so he erupted!

I’m not saying that you have to go out there and drop everything while you try to do something crazy new. Just that there is nothing wrong with doing something inventive for yourself and if it will help improve the way you live and even perhaps in addition to someone-else as well. So once in a while when you are playing along it wont hurt to improvise just a little bit, after all it’s just 12 notes!

This is something that not all people have, it is genetic. Something that exists chemically in our brain, which in turn fills a part of our personality automatically. But we can learn, it is our given ability as people. I don’t believe it is necessary to master what we choose to do in life. Though our choices in that matter are important because we are going to be doing a long time and we have to be efficient at it for our benefit.

But, I believe that we must learn to have at least some certain time in which we can devote our dedication to. Because through dedication we can learn and innovate something in our lives they may and will have a positive effect. You can break things down that way, see them differently than usual and create a way for you to have a better/bigger impact. This could be hobby for example and from that your hobby can become something great, and serious perhaps that would improve your life.

In my opinion Apple stalled the market from concluding to the truth; all but one guy on the block, Microsoft.

To say at first, I believe that Adobe is an amazing company with great products that are created from visionary product designers.

Apple worked and waited many years to position them selves in the market where they are now to save enough cash and power to make big purchases. Apple could make a statement by saying that no such interest was in the company to make a bid for Adobe. Because they run their own successful array of competing products against Adobe. But I believe that Adobe is still the great leader in creative multimedia editing and development. There are more competitors that Adobe faces but none in my opinion do it quite like them and have the company product appeal to the majority of the consumers.

In the last few months I have developed one of my investment strategies based on possible mergers and acquisitions in the tech field and just an overall look of things in that field [NVIDIA]. Just a month ago I thought if this coming across analyzing Adobe, concluded that this was a bullied company from Apple. So much so that there had to be the reason for it, and I figured. Then Adobe plummeted, not do to real company performance, but as a result of corporate warfare! I believe that the company’s new capital position looked very attractive and not too long after as I expected a bid offer came, I did not think Microsoft would be first though. Because I believe that Apple has a better and bigger interest of the company.

I think that Adobe is worth three times what it’s worth now, they have a great position in the mobile market, very established at home and they should be releasing more innovative and improved products down the line soon.

I also want add another personal note that Microsoft has been under a lot of media/investor pressure under that the company has not made any significant deals in the recent times; where a lot of companies have been doing just the opposite. But Microsoft does not feel pressured inside the company. The company still has bigger revenues then Apple and Google combined, and enough cash purchasing power to buy and a start any company they want; I say it’s better saving than spending stupid. Microsoft makes every move count, always has and always will.

I don’t think that Adobe will be bought out any time soon but is an interesting possibility! There is also another article that makes an interesting analysis and point of view I would like to share. LINK

Microsoft got downgraded on reasons beyond my comprehension. Stating facts about company operations in developing sections where some of their projects have barely grown in size to matter for the company income share. Their statements on this by discussing the amount of money that Microsoft spends backing up these operation and not enough return rates are just silly. OK, I can accept that!

But, what about mentioning their XBOX and BING division that have yet to reach their potentials, these operations are clearly positioned for long term investment purposes; you can see that just by they way they handle their product cycles. And one thing that people don’t accept about Microsoft is that having market share at all costs it the most important thing for them.

Analysis given by these institutions now a days are all about short-term outlook and performance! So the silly market follows and with an the ever greedy sense and no true direction. So in my opinion MSFT has become just a better buy and undervalued, just like many companies out there who are suffering because of these type of groundless evaluations. If you want a real information on these companies/industry look at sources like engadget for tech, and same for rest; 9rules.

Everything is time, so one thing that should be considered is how and where can we improve time management in our lives using the smart-phones? Well one thing that we can do, is to see where there is potential for your smart-phone to have the effects. Then see if there is an app in that same or similar category that would help increase your productivity in that area. From that sense if you could save 15 minutes a day that’s Hr1:45Mn a week, time which you could devote to learning something new, or just relax!

You can even download an app which you can learn from. Pick a skill, or something you wanted to know and or learn more about. You can get an app that is specific to that, or a tool app that can search the information you want and keep it favored. Those lunch and 15Mn breaks can go a long way from that!

Talk, text, shop, blog, tweet, watch movies, set appointments, social network, find a new job, e-mails, games, shop again, create! and more.

I also found a very helpful article to further make my statement
