3Di Analysis

Here is an interesting post on the potential of the 3di technologies
The output they created for this organization was thoughtful and thorough. One of the greatest rewards of being a professor is seeing the classroom content you are trying to convey being applied in new and meaningful ways by incredibly bright and enthusiastic students. I can honestly say that this particular independent study was one of those truly blissful moments in my teaching career. I am incredibly proud of what these NCSU MBA’s produced.

The other cool thing is that they crated useful assets that can help us all know more about how to move the enterprise 3Di agenda forward.

Here for example, is their analysis of 3Di Vendors. As fast as technology moves, I am sure that there are red dots on this table that will need to be updated almost immediately, but it is a great start.

MBA and your partner

Getting your wife to sponsor your MBA, read this
The finance question is a big one as well, with out a doubt. The simple answer is to look at it as a long-term investment. With this perspective, it's not really that much money and has a huge potential payoff. When considering schools in Europe, or anywhere for that matter, you can also save a significant amount by attending a one-year program vs. two-year. There are several great ones (IMD, INSEAD, etc.) just make sure that they fit with your plans. I'm a career changer myself, and I feel that it is important for me to attend a two-year program to facilitate the change. The most important difference is the internship opportunity you get with two-year programs. LBS is, in my opinion, the top two-year program in Europe (be sure to check out their new online brochure that’s got a ton of info and great videos embedded, found here: http://www.london.edu/mba/programmes13668.html ) so if you’re switching careers too, then definitely check it out along with IESE in Barcelona.

Value of an MBA rises in Employers eyes

Thinking about an MBA? You might like to know this:
In its annual survey of corporate recruiters, GMAC found that employers planned to hire 18 percent more graduating MBAs or other graduate business students this year over last. In contrast, hires among candidates with only an undergraduate education were projected to fall.

Employers also planned to boost their hiring of other graduate school students as well as of candidates with experience direct from industry, but not by as much as business school grads. And according to Job Outlook 2007, an annual report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, more than half the employers (56 percent) that planned to hire candidates with master’s degrees in the past year had their sights set on MBAs.

Technology brings with it amazing ways to make our lives better. Sometimes it is something as small as the cell phone, and sometimes it can be the gigantic satellites. There is hardly any aspect of our lives which stays untouched by the technological advances. And the best part is the one technology leads to another, and then to something else. Just like there are mashups on the internet, there are new exciting mashups of all the technologies.

This is why I am going to tell you about an amazing use of technology for the businesses. Ever since I heard about it, I have been dying to talk about it because it's just so awesome. The great piece of technology I'm talking about is the GPS Insight vehicle tracking system. Now what is the GPS In sight vehicle tracking system?



It is a combination of hardware and software which helps you track your vehicles in real time. It uses satellites and the AT&T or T Mobile to provide you with highly accurate vehicle locations every 2 minutes throughout the US and Canada. This means that this piece of technology can provide you with complete activity detail, fuel consumption statistics, speed violation metrics, vehicle performance details, landmark activities, and more more features.

Along with the real time data, it also allows you to track the activity for the last 90 days, reports about reckless driving with completely accurate results from the machines engine, daily reports which are updated every two minutes, off hour and weekend use of vehicles, theft recovery, emission reports and many other details. Many of those are delivered in a way in which scientists say that you can understand well, that is using graphs and maps.

This awesome product also makes sure that you feel completely at home once you start using this product. This is why the makers have also started a GPS Insight support wiki for customers and a Blog for GPS vehicle tracking so that you can learn and find out more about what when where and how things are done, so that you can use them to the maximum.

Assuming you put up just 1 light duty and 1 heavy duty vehicle to be tracked via this system, the cost, it would just cost you about $69 over a month. This means that for just above $1 a day per vehicle you can enjoy all the benifits we discussed above. Considering the amount that you would save by using the product, it would be insanity not to go for this one.

So if your business uses a lot of vehicles, and of course you have the need to track them, then you have just the perfect product on your hands.

Sponsored Post : CRM Software evolved

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a broad term that covers concepts used by companies to manage their relationships with customers, including the capture, storage and analysis of customer, vendor, partner, and internal process information.

Ever since 1990s, CRMs have started becoming more and more advanced. All companies which had to handle a huge number of customers, could you do it on paper. They had to provide a more competent computerized systems to take care of their customers for them. This is where CRM/ERP solutions started moving in to the market.

Over the years that market has grown quite large. So much so that today most of the large, medium and small companies have crm in place to handle data from the customers. This is so because crm software has started becoming easier to find, and support has improved with more people working for the companies.

However, today I am going to talk about a slightly different kind of a company. Most CRMs run from the desktops and servers. In most small and medium sized businesses, you need to provide separate machines to handle all of it becuase they can get quite memory intensive. This is why, the makers of AIMPromote, came up with an online solution.

An important feature of the online hookup from aimpromote is to provide lead management. This is not something that you would find everywhere. Other than that AIMpromote has a significantly lower cost of implementation and total cost of ownership than our competitors for several reasons. There are no setup fees, and they even integrate your system with your website free of charge. Also, the ease of use and fast learning curve of our lead management system will keep your sales representatives working efficiently.

To give you and your marketing and sales team a hands on experience of working with aimpromote, the company also lets you have a 14 day free trial of the CRM solution. As discussed earlier, the software is so easy to use and maintain that within 14 days, you staff would be completely trained and would know how to operate the software well, and to find out its own features. All of this in just 14 days.

So if your company is looking for a software to handle customers and don't have a very high budget for the same. But you would like to provide your customers with the facilities like the big dogs, then you are looking at the roght place. AIM Promote will do for you what no over CRM software has ever done before - not waste your time learning the software, yet provide you with the facilities that you really need.

Another birthday is coming up and you are confused about what you can gift to that smart and intelligent kid of yours. The problem with growing kids is that if you give them something too simple, they don't like it. If you give them something too difficult for them to play with, again they won't like it. So whatever you give them, it has to be perfect.

This is why I am going to tell you about a new cool astronomy gadget that is available these days. Meade MySky is the latest LCD powered, shoot-and-identify telescope which helps your kid learn more about the sky above us. You can also gift your kid with a new personal astronomer, who could tell him about everything, but you need to Bill Gates to be able to afford it.

The best part about this telescope is that when you buy it from OpticsPlanet.com, you would not only get the best prices for it, and all the other goodies there including telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, night visions, flashlights, but you also get a UPS worth $29.95 absolutely free of cost. Besides you can even gift it to adults who are interested in cool gadgets.

On the whole, I think that this is one toy every kid should have. Who knows, maybe your kid is going to grow up to be an astronaut someday. And you'll forever thank me for this advice.

Sponsored Post : Online Furniture Store

The sad thing about shopping for furniture is that you need to go from shop to shop, compare results, and then find the right seller and get the goods to your place. This is so because something it is not quite possible to find the right price for furniture. It varies on the kind of wood used, and the varnishes, and the method it was created it, and who created it.

This is why I alway prefer shopping from an online store, because you get much more specific details and you get the see the complete inventory in images. Another reason is that you pay using your credit card, so if the item does not match what you had in mind, you can ask them to take it back, and if all else fails, ask your credit card company for a chargeback. Finally, there are always so many sales on, that over a period of time you end up getting everything off a sale which was on at one time or another.

For example, there is this Admiral 5 Piece Gathering Dinette Set which I really like. Right now I am using four smaller tables to get the effect of one larger table, because I got them very very cheap. But this item is on my watchlist now.

BestPricedFurniture, is one place where i'm sure i'll never have to pay more than I need to. And coupled with the great furniture than is available, it makes shopping there more interesting. Plus they have discounts and sales all the time, so keep checking, you just might get a huge discount of what you are looking for. Plus if you are buying in lots, you can also get volume discounts which can run upto 10%.

So if you are looking to get some furniture, this is exactly where you should be.

Cats are very popular pets.

But the problem with them has always been litter-boxes. They are smelly, stinky and destroy the aura of your house. But not anymore. I am going to tell you about a really cool automated litterbox for you Cat called Littermaid.

The idea of having an automated Litter box came around to overcome the problem of the stinky litter. The concept is to provide a mechanism which could get rid of the litter and dump it in another place so that the smell can be reduced.

Littermaid solves the problem in a very creative way. It is a large cat litter box with a motor assembly. After your cat is gets up from the box, the sensors are activated, which move the litter to another compartment, which can be cleared later.

The motor in the Littermaid litter boxes starts working after about 10 minutes after the cat has left the box. So there is no chance of any accident happening with your cat. Also if the cat comes back within ten minutes, the timer is reset, so that the cat will stay clear of accidents no matter what.

The litter box runs on batteries, so all you need is two 8D cell batteries to have a clean and clear litter box for your cat. Also it is recommended for cats above the age of six months.

The litter boxes are available in eight different packages. The packages include LM520, LM500, LM700, LM950, LM920, LM900, LM9250 and LM 9000. The Littermaid Mega can handle a multiple cats over five times a day.

And since the litter goes into a garbage box which packs the litter and odor inside it, you wouldn't ever have to worry about litter anymore.

So if you have a cat and are fed up with the litter, this is just the perfect thing for you and your cat. So head over to the site, and get the best for your Cat.

Now it's been years since I got my first mobile, and everybody has one now. Similar to the phone market, the content market for the phone has also been increasing at tremendous rates. A lot of companies provide content, but there are some like InPhonic and WeatherBug which have dominated the market from quite an early stage.

Now they provide all sorts of content like news alerts, ring tones, horoscopes etc. Now just that, they also provide great deals on all kinds of cell phones and cell phone plans. It makes good sense to buy your phone from one of them, because you can get the best phones at amazing prices, coupled with great plans attached to them.

Then comes the content. I'm a big fan of content on the mobile. All the stock market information that I need, I have it configured on my cell, and I keep getting constant updates, which means that even if I am connected to the internet or not, I will have a constant inflow of information about my stocks. And I think this is why I love these guys, for providing such a terrific service at amazing rates.

My mom is a sucker for horoscopes. Every single day, she is sure to check out her horoscope in the newspaper and ever since I told her about how to get it on the cell, she's become my fan. Earlier she used to tell everybody that she really didn't understand what I did sitting all day on the computer, but now she's all gaga over the daily horoscopes that I configure for her.

And then there are ringtones. Even though there are a lot of free ones floating around the internet, the best that I have ever seen (heard actually) are Wirefly ringtones. You can get just the songs you want, and at affordable and good prices.

So if you're like me, and want great mobile content, head over to Wirefly, and get some.

Sponsored Post : Pay Per Post

This is a sponsored post.

Pay Per Post was the first site that came up with the idea of paying bloggers for blog reviews. Ever since a horde of other such sites have come up, yet nobody still managed to draw crowds like PPP has do so far.

When I started blogging, I never really thought that I could make money out of it. There was no such solution in the market which could get a decent amount of money from the blog, and that was when I walked into Pay per post.

Ever since I found out about it, I haven't been able to stop myself from doing a couple of posts every once in a while. And slowly it has become a part and parcel of the blogging world.

So you are a fan of PPP too, but have cursed them since ages because they don't allow advertisers to contact different websites directly, and you think that you've been missing out a pie of the action because your blog or site really holds the forte when it comes to your niche, and there are a lot of advertisers each other to get on your site?

File Recovery

Working on computers has always had it's own set of problems. And no matter how many times you have those problems, it's not always easy to avoid them altogether. So it becomes absolutely essential to be able to rectify those problems.

One major problem is what to do about lost files.

Being more careful is obviously the first answer, but as I said you can never be too careful. Accidents happen. So what do you do if you lose a file. To fix this problem, here is a very useful tool which can help you recover files from all sorts of accidents.

Consider this, you wrote your code in a lot of files which were scattered within folders, and then when you moved to the final location, you removed all those you didn't require. Now after some time, you realize that you have just shift deleted one of the very important files, and it's going to take you two more days to create it again. So what do you do? You use File-recovery. This software can find and recover all those files that you deleted by accident, or by some malicious virus on your computer.

Another major problem, is if your OS gets corrupted. What happens to the data. Don't worry, you can use File-recovery here again. It gets your files from lost partitions and formatted drives and damaged sectors.

Not just that, it also allows you to capture your photos and the like from flash media. So that even if your USB drive gets damaged, you can still collect all those pics that were in there.

If that isn't a useful program that what is?

And as always, I save the best one for the last. If you can't boot your system anymore, you can use File-Recovery Enterprise installation to burn a bootable CD or DVD with a lightweight version of Windows Vista (WinPE 2.0) which will run in your RAM.

So no matter what happens, File-Recovery is there to save you. And the best part, it's available from $29.95 only.

Sponsored Post : Rings

Marriages they say are made in heaven.

It just might be true for engagements as well. But is definitely is not true for the rings. The rings have to cut and make on earth by lesser mortals. This is why, it is absolutely essential that you are very cautious about what you do when you finally decide to buy a ring for your partner.

Finding a good partner is hard enough, but finding the perfect ring is harder still. You have to take care of the quality, the cut, the price and what not. So how on earth, do you manage to get the right fit, without spending a fortune on it.

The answer is simple. You need to find somebody who knows enough about them, go guide you in the right direction. In all cases it is somebody you trust, because you were referred to them by somebody you've known for a long time.

This is why I'm referring you to MySolitaire.com. This is the best place on earth to the find the Engagement Rings and Wedding Rings of your dreams, which is going to make your woman love you more than ever.

Now why would you trust a website you provide you with the right kind of stuff, wouldn't it be better if you bought it at the local store.

No. The quality of the Diamond Rings you would get at this website, are going to be better than you would find at any store close to you. There is much greater choice for you to choose from, and amazing designs that you'd just love.

Moreover, if you have a particular design in mind, you can ask these guys to make it. And send it over to you. What on earth could be better than that?

So if you are looking for rings, do head over to MySolatiare, and get impressed.

Sponsored Post : Just Say Hi

People keep falling in and out of love all time. And when you do fall out of love, it is quite difficult to fall in again. Because the next time you want that person to be really made for you.

This is why dating sites exist. Whenever you are single, and you are looking for a partner, you need some place where you can find some more singles. Ofcourse you can do it at the next pub, but you would like the pub to have the hottest women from around the country, but well that's not always possible. This is why dating sites are so hot these days.

Anyways, the problem with them is that you have to pay cold hard cash you earned, to be able to view the listing. And this is why you are going to remember me for ever, when I tell you about this really cool dating site, which is just Free.

You might think that free online dating is a myth. You would need to take out your credit card somewhere atleast. But with JustSayHi, it's just true. You would never be asked to take out your credit card. It is the king of free dating sites and the paid ones too.

Ask me, I have found two of my ex-girlfriends there. Maybe you might too.

Sponsored Post : My Fitness Pal

Not being fat, is a choice that we have. Ofcourse, it does mean that if you are genetically fat, you need to work even harder than the rest of them to stay fit. This is why it is essential that you do keep a check on whatever goes down your throat.

So when I happened to visit this site called MyFitnessPal, I had to come over and tell you about it. This site not only tells you how to cook food in a way that would keep you fit, it also provides you with a calorie counter, which tells you how much calories are you consuming.

The best part of the counter is that it's free. Which means, that if you are working on a diet, and need professional help without paying the professional fees, you need to keep in constant touch with this really cool free calorie counter, because it will help you keep on track with your calorie counting.

So if you are another fitness freak like me, then do head over to MyFitnessPal and cherish the goodies, and the complements.

O Lord My God

 Posted by Picasa

Seaweed was wrapped around my head,to the roots of the mountains I sank down.
The earth beneath, barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from, the pit O Lord My God.
When My life was ebbing away, I remembered you Lord,
And my prayers rose to you, To your holy temple.
