7 Year Reading Challenge - Learning from the Masters | The Jeff Lewis
“If you will read for 15 minutes every night rather than watching television,
you will complete about 15 books per year.
If you read in the great classics of
English Literature for 15 minutes each day, in about 7 years you will have read
the 100 greatest books ever written. You will be one of the best educated and
most erudite of your generation. And you can achieve this just by reading 15
minutes each evening before you go to bed.”
-Brian Tracy
You can dramatically change your life in just 15 minutes a day!
There is not one single reason that I can think of that could keep me from performing this simple action every, single day. 15 minutes a day is such a tiny amount of time. Every day I waste more than 15 minutes just thinking out what to eat for dinner.
My list is here(Taken from the book A Well Educated Mind:

Six Tips for Deploying iPads in the Enterprise | ITBusinessEdge.com
Click through for six tips on integrating iPad devices in the enterprise from 318, Inc., a technology services company focused on heterogeneous Apple/Microsoft/Linux infrastructures in Fortune 2000 enterprises and SMBs.
Challenged by the deployment of Apple iPads in your enterprise? It's not surprising when Gartner estimates that media tablet sales reached 19.5 million units in 2010, driven by sales of the iPad. Media tablets and the iPad will fuel even faster growth in the category of mobile PCs, already 55 percent of industry shipments in 2009 and forecasted to reach 70 percent by 2012, according to Gartner.
As a result, many Fortune 2000 enterprise CIOs and SMB IT directors are caught reacting to the immediate need to integrate Apple iPads and iPhones for mobile executives and sales teams.
Charles Edge, director of technology for 318, Inc., a technology IT consulting and development firm, has authored a new book entitled Enterprise iPhone and iPad Administrator's Guide, which focuses on securely integrating Apple in the enterprise.
“The difficulty of securely and efficiently deploying Apple in the enterprise is that IT teams in most organizations are more familiar with deploying Microsoft solutions,” said Edge. “Even something as basic as opening a Microsoft Word document stored on a server, changing it on the iPad and saving it back to the server cannot be done out-of-the box. Unfortunately, the timelines for most IT organizations are such that they need to have mass integration done yesterday.”
This slideshow highlights how 318’s team is advising clients who are trying to bring iPads and iPhones into enterprise environment.

“The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider -- and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation -- persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.” ~Alexander Graham Bell, (1847-1922, Scottish-born American inventor of the telephone) http://bit.ly/eCNXaq
How to create an Android Live virtual machine | TechRepublic Photo Gallery
Virtual machines are among the best ways to experiment with a new operating system. Now, we can download a specialized version of Android that can run within a virtual machine. In this gallery, I will go through the steps to create the virtual machine. I would be remiss if I didn't send credit to Eric Sloof of NTPRO.NL, who showed this in a recent blog post.
This gallery is based on the Androidx86.org version of the Android operating system. This is not a Google project, but technologists across the board will appreciate the ability to run an Android-like operating systems on other platforms.

How the stars aligned against Microsoft at CES 2011 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
This year’s Consumer Electronics Shows was one of the biggest and most substantive in years as tech companies showed off some legitimately breakthrough products and transmitted a general sense of enthusiasm about the future and the innovations that are coming down the pipeline.
However, one big player that noticeably missed the boat on the big trends and failed to generate much enthusiasm was Microsoft. That’s why I put Microsoft on the losers list in my post on the biggest winners and losers of CES 2011. Some people have questioned that choice, arguing that Microsoft just had a big success with Xbox 360 Kinect and announced Windows 8 for ARM at CES.

CES 2011: The biggest winners and losers | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The Consumer Electronics Show is the Super Bowl of the technology industry. As much as industry analysts and the tech press whine about CES being too big and being a relic of a bygone era, there’s no better place for tech companies to make a big splash that will be remembered throughout the year, and in some cases for years to come.
It’s also the place where tech companies can jockey for a better position in the market by generating more attention for their product line than a competitor’s. Conversely, companies that don’t make a good showing at CES can risk creating an impression that they are falling behind and risk having their products get lost in the crowd.
As such, every CES has its winners and losers. Here is this year’s scoreboard.
