What will Apple do this year – Part 1

Apple is always surrounded by rumours and the great thing about it is that the company is always unpredictable. They make money on this nature of theirs. Sometimes they come up with underwhelming things but other times their products are out-of-this-world that keep the audience at the edge of their seats, when it is announced, […]

What will Apple do this year – Part 2

Although it is too early to suggest anything for the next generation of the tablet, iPad but speculation can be worthy of some things that might come true, or heard for that matter. Since the new iPad destined for 2012 was released this month, the new tablet might not see the light of the day […]

What will Apple do this year – Part 3

Moreover, the Mac Pro line of desktops is rumoured to be totally replaced or discarded as iMac, iMac Mini and Macbook Pro have gouged a large market share from it. Apple itself has cannibalized its Mac Pro market with insane range of new products. The reason why this line has not yet seen any cutbacks […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 1

Jaguar introduced the 2012 model of its muscle car XKR-S in March, 2012. The technologically advanced and theoretically equivalent to Ford’s Mustang 2011/12 model, the vehicle has received a makeover on the outside and in the inside. Under the hood lies a powerful engine that fires the power equally to all wheels. But more on […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 2

Bench racers keeping score are no doubt beginning to question spending $83,000 more on an XKR-S; where does the extra money go? We’ll get around to discussing the cabin in a moment, but it should be no surprise that a large chunk of that price difference goes to making the Jaguar more comfortable than most […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 3

The truth is that while you technically can compare the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S with a 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 by the numbers, doing so is sort of missing the point. Sure, both cars will hustle away from a stoplight with similar zeal, but if you’re drag racing kids in Mustangs and 370Zs with your XKR-S, […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 4

Let’s get back to that last day of wet roads that I mentioned earlier. From the driver’s seat of the XKR-S, I followed Senior Editor Wayne Cunningham in the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S — not exactly a competitor for the Jaguar, but an interesting benchmark. The slippery conditions pretty much mitigated the Jaguar’s approximately […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 5

Switching seats with Cunningham and taking a turn in the Porsche, I was unsurprised to find that it was much more involved than the Jaguar. When the turns got twisty and the speedo began to climb, I found the 911’s steering to be much more direct, the suspension much more communicative, and the throttle and […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 6

The lack of physical shortcuts to each menus area is just part of the problem. Jaguar seems to place other odd functions within the touch-screen interface where honest-to-goodness physical buttons would be better. For example, the seat and steering-wheel heater controls are located on the home screen; a pair of knobs on the center console […]

Jaguar releases its new muscle car: Jaguar XKR-S Version – 2012 – Part 7

In the 2004 film “Anchorman,” Brian Fantana presents to Ron Burgundy a particularly pungent cologne called Sex Panther by Odion, making the preposterous claim that “60 percent of the time, it works every time” when it comes to wooing women. That bizarre claim is what kept popping into my head as my week with the […]

The messy your work station is, the farther is your promotion – Part 1

It is one thing to be the more productive than your peers at your work place but it is another thing to make an impression that you are the diligent candidate for the next performance appraisal or promotion or both for that matter. Your work place matter a lot when it comes to impressing the […]

This research not only takes into account messy environment around but the health, hygiene and computer stuff, which is one of the growing concerns of employees. According […]
