Laptops lose out to tablets and smartphones in business market.

Enterprise employees are increasingly using smartphones and tablet devices such as Apple's iPad instead of laptops, according to a new report from enterprise mobility services provider iPass.

The report, which surveyed more than 3,500 mobile employees at over 1,000 enterprises globally, found that laptop usage declined by 10 per cent compared to last year as smartphone and tablet popularity increased.

It also found that although 65 per cent of mobile workers reported that they use a tablet device, only 27 per cent stated that they use it for work.

iPass reported that the average mobile employee is carrying 2.68 devices for work today. It termed this multiplicity of devices the mobile stack.

Steven Wastie, senior vice-president marketing and product management at iPass, said: "Tablet and smartphone use in the enterprise is being driven by the growth of cloud-based applications, in addition to the devices being reasonably priced

FULL-HD 3D with 3D Eyewear Included

FULL HD 3D makes you feel as if you'd stepped out of your living room and into the world on the screen. The viewing experience has never been so lifelike and compelling.The technology in which the left-eye and right-eye 3D images are sent to the viewer is the key to 3D image quality. For this, FULL HD 3D uses something called the Frame Sequential technology. A separate 1920 x 1080 full-HD image is sent to each eye. This addresses the image quality problems and blurring which is common to previous 3D systems, and creates sharp, crisp 3D images.

Infinite Black Pro with Dynamic Contrast 5,000,000:1

A contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 enables VIERA to display extremely robust blacks. A new panel and improvements to the cell discharge area dramatically increase contrast when viewing in brightly lit locations. And reducing the electrical pre-discharge that causes greying has greatly enhanced black gradation. As a result, deep, rich blacks are displayed in virtually any viewing area, from living rooms to bedrooms. Even in dark film scenes, clothing textures and individual strands of hair are clearly reproduced.

VIERA CAST with Skype

Enjoy Internet content right on your TV. With VIERA CAST technology, you can enjoy online content such as videos, photos, weather and stock information through an easy-to-use Web interface that's built into the TV. Other services are also becoming available, one after another, such as "tweeting" web communications via Twitter™ and home video and audio conferencing with Skype™. In addition, VIERA CAST provides USB terminals for a USB Keyboard and Communication Camera. No PC required.

600Hz Sub-field Drive

600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects. *When using Cinema mode

THX® Certified Display

THX reproduces film images exactly as the film's creators intended them. The overall aim was to improve the experience of cinema-goers and faithfully recreate the audio and visual ambience that filmmakers intended. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine, for example, whether the exact same brightness and colour are displayed at all screen locations, and whether black levels satisfy standard criteria. VIERA meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program.

Interviews

Ten Rules about Interview
1. Keep your answers brief and concise. Unless asked to give more details, limit your answers to two to three minutes per question. Tape yourself and see how long it takes you to fully answer a question.

2. Include concrete, quantifiable data. Interviewees tend to talk in generalities.

Unfortunately, generalities often fail to convince interviewers that the applicant has assets. Include measurable information and provide details about specific accomplishments when discussing your strengths.


3. Repeat your key strengths three times. It’s essential that you comfortably and confidently articulate your strengths. Explain how the strengths relate to the company’s or department’s goals and how they might benefit the potential employer. If you repeat your strengths then they will be remembered and—if supported with quantifiable accomplishments—they will more likely be believed.

4. Prepare five or more success stories. In preparing for interviews, make a list of your skills and key assets. Then reflect on past jobs and pick out one or two instances when you used those skills successfully.

5. Put yourself on their team. Ally yourself with the prospective employer by using the employer’s name and products or services. For example, “As a member of __________, I would carefully analyze the __________ and ______.” Show that you are thinking like a member of the team and will fit in with the existing environment. Be careful though not to say anything that would offend or be taken negatively. Your research will help you in this area.

6. Image is often as important as content. What you look like and how you say something are just as important as what you say. Studies have shown that 65 percent of the conveyed message is nonverbal; gestures, physical appearance, and attire are highly influential during job interviews.

7. Ask questions. The types of questions you ask and the way you ask them can make a tremendous impression on the interviewer. Good questions require advance preparation. Just as you plan how you would answer an interviewer’s questions, write out any specific questions you want to ask. Then look for opportunities to ask them during the interview. Don’t ask about benefits or salary. The interview process is a two-way street whereby you and the interviewer assess each other to determine if there is an appropriate match.

8. Maintain a conversational flow. By consciously maintaining a conversational flow—a dialogue instead of a monologue—you will be perceived more positively. Use feedback questions at the end of your answers and use body language and voice intonation to create a conversational interchange between you and the interviewer.

9. Research the company, product lines and competitors. Research will provide information to help you decide whether you’re interested in the company and important data to refer to during the interview.

10. Keep an interview journal. As soon as possible, write a brief summary of what happened. Note any follow-up action you should take and put it in your calendar. Review your presentation. Keep a journal of your attitude and the way you answered the questions. Did you ask questions to get the information you needed? What might you do differently next time? Prepare and send a brief, concise thank you letter. Restate your skills and stress what you can do for the company.
Because of its importance, interviewing requires advance preparation. Only you will be able to positively affect the outcome. You must be able to compete successfully with the competition for the job you want. In order to do that, be certain you have considered the kind of job you want, why you want it, and how you qualify for it. You also must face reality: Is the job attainable?

New Honda CBR 250

Will CBR 250 take the game away from Bajaj Pulsar?

Posted by Pramod Bhardwaj on Febrary 28, 2011.

Finally Honda has revealed what plans it has specifically for the Asian market. IMB has been keeping a close track on the developments around a 250cc from Honda. The company will launch the Honda CBR250R (we’ll break it down as the CBR 250)in the first half of 2011. The bike will be locally manufactured and it is understood that the pricing will be aggressive.

However the Thai motorcyclists will be the first one to lay their hands on the 250cc bike and in around April next year, Indian bikes will get their chance.

The CBR 250 is equipped with a liquid-cooled 250cc 4-stroke 4-valve single-cylinder DOHC engine. Installed with some very useful features like Combined Brake System (CBS, a front- and rear-wheel interlocking braking system) and an Anti-lock Brake System which ensure the safety of the bikers on wet roads and emergency situations.

Honda has not revealed the power and torque figures for the CBR 250 India yet but expect anything between 26-30 PS.

Coming to the cost, Honda has clearly mentioned in the press release that they will be launching the bike at affordable price in India. Well I’m not sure what would this “affordable price” means until we finally know the cost of the CBR250R. What might be affordable for me might not be for someone else or vice-versa.

So I think that the CBR 250 for India should be priced at 1.2 lakh rupees putting it much below the cost of the Ninja 250R and taking it close to the Pulsars (the bigger ones are about to arrive).

Well at least someone has thought of launching a 250cc for the Indian market at an affordable price. Will Yamaha and Suzuki follow suit?
