This blog is hilariously funny! I have added my own answer for the title:



How Many Internet Marketers Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?



Nobody will really be able to change the light bulb until somebody actually buys the ebook. However, you would first have to sign up and join the team to lock in your position, this will then give you access to the training that people pay THOUSANDS of dollars for. And best of all you get it for just $19.95 per month! Also, you better HURRY, because they are running out of light bulbs to change.



This business is growing in leaps and bounds and light bulbs are going on all around the world. Tons of people are making great money with it just by following the simple steps. And that's just changing a few light bulbs a week.



So get yourself over to the LIGHT BULB turn key system at zero cost.



Moving early counts.

Do it now.

"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." - William Arthur Ward http://bit.ly/fbFnrk
@Rimaaggarwa Thank you for the follow Rima, Have a blessed day in Roma:) http://bit.ly/hyBXqN

Happy thanksgiving to all my US freinds.

And a special blessing to you from South Africa ~Daniel



As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt



For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

~Ralph Waldo Emerson



None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. ~Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Is it mice or mouses?… - Cyberwalker.com

Question: We have a different kind of question for CyberWalker. What is the plural of computer mouse -- "mouses" or "mice"? H.K.



Answer: I've been on the trail for an answer to this question for a week and in the process I was snubbed by the very inventor of the computer mouse.

Seven reasons we need managers, not leaders | IT Leadership | TechRepublic.com

The United States is facing a crisis of management. Not leadership. Management.



Nearly three years after the start of “The Great Recession,” there’s still no end in sight. The Feds report that unemployment is +9.5%, but those figures are drastically understated. The real figures include people who have given up looking or are no longer on unemployment insurance — they aren’t counted. If you include those individuals, the real national level is more like 12% - 13%.



Across this country and outside it, people talk about the reasons for the slow recovery of the still-dominant U.S. economy. A lot of reasons are cited. Among the more popular are mortgage issues, fear of inflation/deflation, the growing strength of China, gridlock in the government,…and a lack of leadership.



Each of these is important. But none of them is the most critical factor. The single most important reason is that we have a management issue.



The United States (along with many other Western countries as well) has too many leaders. In fact, I believe that we’re probably “over-led.” And we no longer have enough managers; we’re under-managed.


Slideshow: 10 most dangerous species of IT manager | TechRepublic Photo Gallery

This is seriously funny!



IT veteran Jeff Dray takes a lighthearted look at the types of IT managers and supervisors. We originally published Jeff's list back in 2004. And, I decided to pick a few photos the illustrate Jeff's great descriptions. Enjoy!



Check out Jeff's companion list of 10+ most dangerous species of help desk caller.



-- Bill Detwiler, Head Technology Editor



In my travels through the wilds of the information technology field, I have come across many different species of IT manager. All are from the genus 'Procurator' and are very dangerous in captivity. Some are now on the World Wildlife Federation's At Risk Register. However, there will certainly be no captive breeding program to preserve them as most would be overjoyed if they disappeared from the Earth.



To help classify these dangerous breeds, I've created the following list of species and character descriptions of some common types of managers. These types are loosely based on some managers I have worked for over the years. As ever, this classification should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

The iPad's big upgrade: Top 10 iOS 4.2 features for business | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com

Apple has released the first major software update for the iPad. The 4.2 version of iOS brings a slew of new capabilities to the iPad, including many that will be of interest to business professionals and to IT departments that have deployed or are considering a deployment of the iPad.



The update, which is available as a free download through iTunes, is the first jump to iOS 4 for the iPad. The iPhone got iOS 4 in the spring but the iPad has been stuck on iOS 3.2 until now. With iOS 4.2, the two devices are now unified on the same operating system (along with the iPod Touch as well).



Below is my list of the 10 most important iOS 4 updates for iPad business users, along with my screenshot gallery that gives you a quick peak at the new features.

Seven Major Projects CIOs Should Consider During the Next Three Years | ITBusinessEdge.com

With 2011 predicted to be the year when the IT industry will reach nearly $3.5 trillion in revenue and show long-term growth for the next five years, Gartner, Inc. analysts have presented business and IT issues that warrant the greatest attention and demand the clearest strategies for the future.



“We are increasingly living, playing and working in a digital world where people will have no alternatives but to become ‘more digital’ with the assets they have available,” said Stephen Prentice, vice president and Gartner Fellow. “In 2012, the Internet will be 75 times larger than it was in 2002, and if Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world (after China and India). Device and data proliferation is also a reality that cannot be escaped. Smart devices will rise from 60 billion devices in 2010 to more than 200 billion in 2020.”



“Technology is no longer the preserve of the CIO,” said Ken McGee, vice president and Gartner Fellow. “It has become everyone’s property and everyone’s issue.”



With the IT industry on track to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4 percent for the next five years, Gartner has identified seven business and IT issues that CIOs should act on during the next three years. “CIOs will need to begin implementing these technologies within three years to meet the six year predictions,” Mr. McGee said.
