Views On “Former CEOs Join Ranks of Unemployed”

I would presume that most people who attain this level of success in their career change advices are high intellect, high energy and high achieving individuals, who immersed themselves for decades in an all-consuming career. In their line of work, impatience is a virtue. They can't sit still. These people don't need (nor do they want) sympathy related to their financial condition; they need something to do. They tend to define themselves by their More

A Response To “Why 70 Miles Per Hour Is the New 55″

I drive a car that gets a little over 30MPG on the highway. I've actually experimented several times with the impact on gas mileage of driving at different highway speeds (I guess I'm bored on the highways sometimes). The difference in my gas mileage of going about 62 mph v. about 72 is about 1 mpg. If I applied that what to do when you are bored 12000 miles per year, that results in savings of about 10 gallons per year or about $30. The difference More

A Response To “Carrie Lukas: There Is No Male”

If women do the same work for less pay, then it should be simple for anyone with some capital to become rich. Just start a labor-intensive business casual for women and hire only women. Imagine a business with only 77% of the wage cost of its competitors!!! Why has no venture capitalist seen these golden opportunity? Why doesn't a turnaround specialist just fire all the men and hire women for 77% of the cost? If women are really paid less for the More

A Response To “Catholic Bishops Oppose Obama Compromise on Birth”

Cut off the publi hate lifec funding? OK by me. Sadly, that will impact true health care, but A-OK. Who is next? Baptists? Methodists? Muslims? Hate is hate in any form. Life is life in any form. Contraceptives aren't a health issue. In fact, many contraceptives are believed to cause women problems later in life. Pregnancy isn't a disease, nor is it an illness. The Catholic Church does not prohibit hormones for the treatment of illness. The healtcare More

Commentary On “Marc Andreessen on Why Software Is Eating the World”

Timely reflections and insightful opinions to clear the cobwebs of confusion on the current trends in lead generation software. Just my 2 cents, Smart Grid Sector specially Energy Generation & Distribution (both in traditional and renewable energy space) is a multi-billion dollar software market ! Just Smart Analytics combined with M2M communication between 'Home Area Power Sources' can save huge energy loss. Many startups namely EcoFactor, Tendril More

A Response To “As CEO Hayward Remade BP, Safety, Cost Drives Clashed”

BP sounds just like Soviet Russia, with its obsession with ticking boxes and achieving performance management system targets. The Russians called the problem 'the cult of the success indicator' and BP looks like a classic example - initiative and forward thinking was completely stiflled, and that is the quality that makes a firm successfull. BP management has done an appalling job by allowing this mindset to take hold of the whole company. Anybody More

Analysis On “‘Scrapers’ Dig Deep for Data on the Web”

Let's see: 1) You and your friend KNEW that there was a microphone recording your conversation. 2) You and your friend KNEW that the maitre'd was writing down your order, gender, race, how much you spent, etc. 3) You and your friend KNEW that a marketer was following you and logging all your details. Since you and your friend KNEW in advance what was going to happen, did you and/or your friend take steps to hide your identity (through disguises, More

Commentary On “Immigration Audits Drive Illegal Workers Underground”

Quotas, immigration sales quotas including, are just part of the socialistic concept of society. There are plenty people in America who believe that socialism is better. There are some people who declare socialism as not good, except when they believe that applying socialistic rules and methods benefits them. In particular, some Americans believe that immigration quotas save more jobs for Americans, and for this reason they support socialistic concepts More

A Response To “Clifford Winston and Robert Crandall: Time to Deregulate the Practice of Law”

You probably wouldn't hire a building contractor that didn't have a license either. As a retired builder with over 40 years of experience building, I can tell you that having a building contractor license means nothing and can actually give a false sense of confidence to the customers. The only way to find out if anyone is he the one good at any job is observing if you are knowledgeable or references from KNOWLEDGEABLE people. The bar exam is given More

Some Thoughts On “Is Harry Reid Un”

Right, I wonder what the left said about Condi Rice. Hmmmmm.... oh yeah, I'm not going to repeat it here because it made my skin crawl then and still makes my blood boil. I work for a very successful African American woman (actually, incompetent boss'-boss'-boss'-boss.) I daresay that she deserves everything she's fought hard to get and the CIO of the org I work for is an Indian Woman. I find that it is my more liberal counterparts that have trouble More
