What's most worrisome is if someone on the terrorism watchlist were able to slip in because of manual processes. It's unfortunate that people are stranded, but security has to preempt convenience.

@SaneIT- True, if you are WAAAAY over or under a promise, you lose credibility. But i suspect if you say 6 months and constantly due it in 5 months and 3 weeks, you'll be appreciated. To me, that's basicaly in the realm...

That would make a great story, Chris. I'd love to hear what Silicon Valley thinks is "cutting edge" these days that really applies to companies that manufacture real things like we do. Facebook, InstaGram, SnapChat, cloud...

@tzubair- The studies are showing you are better off promising more then and delivering what you promise. The excess of what you promised is seldom noticed or appreciated.
In reply to: Re: Better
I can honestly say that I don't think anyone can truly assess what others really think of them in any real situation. In the office, I've found a mix of integrity and compatibility coupled with reliability have been the...

@pcharles09- I suspect all the over delivering gets noticed by the right manager. But i don't think it is in the way we think. I don't think it has to do with doing a better job. I think at has to do with the manager thinking,...

Whoever came up with the idea of the smartphone outdid himself. I though that mobile phones were exhausted in terms of what they could do but I now I know that I thought wrong. Hilton has thought of a brilliant idea that...

Although so much was expected from the windows phone, I guess android and iOS still hold the top rank for the best OS and app developers in the industry. But the idea of borrowing the Fitbit idea from android is not such...
