"Top 6 reasons why Samsung will top mobile device seller in consumers & enterprise market"
1. Timothy Wagner, who runs the Texas-based Samsung unit has a vision to capture top slot in Enterprise market. Company has vision and company is making investment in this direction.
2. Apple is top seller of company-issued smartphones. As per IDC analyst Stacy Crook they will hold the position till 2016. Apple has one-size-fits-all formula but Samsung is ready to partner with third-party software makers to target specific industries. This will help Samsung to crate new market.
3. Samsung is fast capturing the Blackberry's market. This is a quick opportunist movement.
4. Samsung is promising to lower companies’ mobile-computing costs. CIO loves to hear this considering budget for IT department is reducing every year.
5. Instead of multiple handset models offered, Samsung decided to focus on one handset for its flagship phone. Samsung Electronics (005930) moved 18 million such handsets, while Apple (AAPL) sold 16.2 million during the three-month period, says the research firm. This will actually boost the world wide branding for Galaxy just like ipod, iphone, ipad.
6. Samsung makes its own chips to power phones, Super Amoled handset displays, and flash memory for internal storage for its Galaxy S, the Galaxy S II, and now the Galaxy S III.
To be market leader, Samsung might have to distance itself from Andriod as Google is focussing mainly consumer market. This will reduce security risk from various malware.
What Your Best Sleeping Position Reveals About You?
Find out how a little thing like your sleeping position can predict your personality-type.
It’s no secret that how we sleep affects how we feel, but did you know that your sleeping position, or how you usually like to sleep, is also related to your personality type, and can maybe even be predictive of your personality?
Research conducted by Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the UK sleep assessment and advisory service, in connection with insomnia cure found that each of the typical sleeping positions are somewhat correlated to a particular personality type.

Sleeping Positions And Personality Types Explained
Here are 4 personality types as per Emerald Robinson,the host of the Daily Orbit,
Emerald on sleeping position
1. People whose sleeping position is on their backs with their arms stretched out in front are typically quiet and reserved, and they set high standards for themselves. This is called the soldier position.Professor Idzikowski concluded that those who sleep in the soldier position were more likely to snore and sleep unsoundly.
2. If your sleeping position is face down with your arms outstretched, you may be feeling "out of control". This position leaves people feeling tired with no energy.
3. Those who sleep with a straight body are stubborn, and will feel stiff in the morning.
4. The fetal or thinker position is the most popular sleeping position . 58 percent of people sleep on their side with their knees up and head down—which is no surprise considering it is associated with stress.
The Foetus position is characterized by sleeping on one's side, in a curled up position. Arms are curled on top of the pillow, or occasionally one arm will be under the pillow. Those whose best sleeping position is the foetal position can expect to awake refreshed, having dealt with the previous day’s issues.

Which is the best sleeping position to prevent teeth grinding and insomnia
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is one of the most common sleep disorders, along with insomnia and sleep apnea. Bruxism occurs predominantly during sleep, always and only in those people who sleep lying face downwards on the bed, on their stomach or on their hips, as they weigh heavily with static load on their jaws.
Teeth grinding can be very mild, causing few problems, or it can be very severe, causing damage to both your teeth and your jaw. Teeth grinding can improve with a better sleeping position, some natural solutions or a special mouthpiece created by a dentist to prevent it in some cases.

A very personal review of Life Of Pi of by Ang Lee
Let me first share the story
Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the son of a zoo keeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada. After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival.
In short “Life of Pi” is a wonderful adventure story with a philosophical message.
9 Great Lessons I learned from Life of Pie book by Yann Martel
1. It’s difficult to follow different paths at the same time, as many of them are conflicting in nature and often create confusion and make it difficult to stay focused and at times, lead to wastage of crucial resources.
2. Ensure your own identity. Pi associated a story with his name and that does the trick for him.
3. In spite of your intelligence, a well thought out plan is necessary just like PI followed the survival guidebook after his ship capsized
4. It’s NOT advisable to enter unknown and uncharted territories without adequate research. Pi decided to shift to the raft because he got scared of Richard Parker (tiger) but he was not aware of the whale that will upturn his raft throwing all his supplies to the water.
5. Learn to leave with your aggressive colleagues in a very competitive market. After the whale incident, Pi had to reconcile to the fact that he has to live with Mr. Parker on the lifeboat, an idea, which he had been resisting so far. You need to define your territory & protect the same from your competitor.
6. Don’t stop midway because this might deprive you from larger success. When Pi reached the mysterious floating island of carnivorous algae inhabited by meerkats, it seemed like, he has reached an oasis of life with bountiful food, water and shelter. But, it probably symbolizes the idea of settling for something average when there could be something much better in store. But, covering the last mile is often the most difficult part of the journey when body and mind wants to give up.
7. Never stop and always try to innovate even in a toughest time. Only mentally tough people can survive. I just like the attitude how Pi never gave up hope of survival even in the black sea or the dark clouds or the ominous waves or the hungry predator as company.
8. The idea of timeless existence makes Pi more spiritual because it takes away the obligations in life leaving only the peace you need to become one with whatever religion you may choose. This is a revelation to me. First my life I understood spirituality starts where religion ends.
9. Tough time challenges your creativity. This innovative skill is important to overcome all odds in life.
In summary - Life of Pi is an intelligently scripted and gorgeously crafted piece of film making. It’s a visual touchstone in modern film making. And if you’re going to see it, you need to see it in theaters and in 3D.
I was talking with few eminent economists on the current financial crisis. I was trying to find out what’s their opinion on the real reasons behind the current financial crisis across the globe.
Our discussion started with a question “Why the high GDP growth rate is not the solution?”
Dr. Sugato mentioned that according to IMF, Libiya’s economy will grow by an astonishing 122% growth rate this year. But this does not mean that the Libya is fastest growing economy in the world.
Dr. Sugato went on to explain the fallacy in Libya’s 120% GDP growth rate with simple definition of GDP.
GDP is measure of income, not wealth. It gauges the flow of economic activity in a country, not its stock of productive assets. To understand this, we need to understand fiscal multiplier. Fiscal multiplier measures the impact of changes in Govt spending (or taxation) on broader GDP growth.
GDP = Consumption+ Investment+ Govt. Spending+ Imports+ Exports
Change in any one of these components will also impact other components. If Govt. cuts spending by 1% , GDP falls more than 1 percent. It also impacts taxation i.e. Govt. income. This is the problem in most of the debt ridden Governments like Greece, Spain. These countries earlier financed their growth by debt but did not try to reduce the debt. Most of Government took the easy way to get over the financial crisis by printing paper money.
Even if Libya’s economy grow by 120%, it’s GDP will be no bigger than it was in 2010 because it’s economy shrunk by over 60% in 2011.
Dr. Marjit explained another important point on current recession i.e. less corporate spending or investment.
He mentioned that this recession also triggered “dead money” problem because corporate started sitting on cash pile.
Corporate are afraid of
(1) euro-zone crisis,
(2) political upheaval in middle east,
(3) possible recession in China and
(4) America’s economic health.
In Japan liquid assets have been soared by 75% to 2.8 trillion. Same is true for UK, Canada & US.
Corporate are neither investing nor distributing the money to shareholders. This frugal way of working is also impacting employment.
In this context you can read an article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, International business editor "
Five years on, the Great Recession is turning into a life sentence".
In the next post, we’ll discuss why radical tax reform is necessary to boost the economy.
