MSN Search by Any Other Name Might Not Be As Sweet
I read an interesting article today by, of all people, a venture partner discussing Microsoft’s evolving brand strategy. The article, by James Joaquin, juxtaposes the renaming of MSN Search to “Microsoft Windows Live Search” versus the simple brand structure of Google Search. Joaquin points out that as Microsoft has grown, it has faced the problem many [...]
Are you an enlarger ?
Whatever you do. whatever you want to do, chances are that your industry/work/career is going through some fundamental shifts.
It's not really possible for us to anticipate and plan for all expected and unexpected changes. Sometimes the experts are not correct. Most of the times they are really wrong.
So what can you do?
You can embrace what Prof. Udai Pareek calls the "Enlarging Style" which can be found out through his Life Orientation Inventory.
Here's more about the two styles the inventory measures, enlarging and enfolding:
I've personally thought that in most aspects of my life I am an enlarger, and in some cases I behave like an enfolder. I wish Prof. Pareek blogs about his reflections on the inventory today.
Pareek, Udai (1995). Life-Orientation Inventory. (ETS# TC019558) Inventory uses an organizational and career context to allow a person to assess his or her life style orientation within the framework of "enlarging" or "enfolding". The enlarging life style is oriented toward innovation, change, and growth. The enfolding life style is oriented to the goals of tradition, stability, and inner strength.

Game Console Sales: Like Christmas in July
When it comes to sales, Nintendo's Wii continues to lead the pack of current-generation video game consoles, according to NPD Group. However, the real eye-opener, from NPD's perspective, is the unexpected mid-summer sales boom involving just about everything related to the games. NPD's July sales figures show Nintendo's Wii leading the field by many lengths.
Wii Might Not Be Home for Christmas
Consumers who thought Christmas would be the perfect time to join in on the hottest craze in video game consoles could be disappointed, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. The supply for Wiis will remain tight for the holiday season, he said. Extremely high demand for the consoles has outstripped even Nintendo executives' aggressive forecasts.

Web Hosting SSL Specialist, GlobalSign, Enhances Partner Program
London, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - June 18, 2008 - SSL certificate, and secure server specialist for web hosting companies, GlobalSign, has reported significant revenue opportunities for companies engaging in partnerships, to expand core business lines with its security products.
Steve Waite, Marketing Director, GlobalSign noted, ''We do not just offer exceptional margins for such a high value product. We also offer easy integration and all the business campaign resources to make sure partners have the fastest market launch and ROI possible. We make sure minimal time and effort is needed to add SSL to their portfolios and we recommend companies of all sizes speak to us today about how we can help them leverage the SSL revenue opportunity.''
Companies such as Web Hosts, ISPs, Domain Registrars and VARs have the perfect opportunity to gain additional revenue from their customer base by reselling SSL Certificates - a fundamental requirement for sites conducting online commerce or capturing customer data.
Since launching the SSL Partner Program last year, GlobalSign has seen a continuous rise in the number of new partners joining. Offering the most highly featured SSL product with extensive technical, marketing and sales resources, makes GlobalSign's SSL reseller program one of the most advanced SSL reseller programs currently available.
GlobalSign's simplified SSL product range differs from that of competing products, in that all of GlobalSign SSL Certificates come with enhanced SGC security (provided free of charge) to ensure minimal encryption strengths of at least 128 bit and up to 256 bit. GlobalSign SSL products are also neatly arranged into three groups, categorized by the differing vetting processes - domain validation, organisation validation and extended validation (also known as EV SSL). The user-friendly grouping is designed to make GlobalSign SSL easy to understand, and easier to sell.
High margins are needed for the partner to generate high profits. GlobalSign offers high revenue per SSL Certificate sold (SRP 99 pounds) where average resellers make 24 pounds with no commitment. Even higher margins are available on bulk purchase plans - starting at 5 Certificates.
Reselling SSL Certificates - Financial Opportunity White Paper - www.globalsign.com/resources/Reseller_Financial_Opp_US_v1.0.pdf.
Established in 1996 and as a WebTrust accredited public certificate authority, GlobalSign offers publicly trusted SSL, including new Extended Validation SSL Certificates, S/MIME and Code Signing Certificates for use on all Windows platforms including Mobile. The GlobalSign Trusted Root program allows the widely distributed and highly trusted GlobalSign root CA certificates to provide immediate trust for Microsoft CA and other inhouse CA users, thereby eliminating the costs associated with supporting non-trusted root CA certificates within an enterprise. These core GlobalSign solutions allow its thousands of enterprise customers to conduct secure online transactions and data submission, and provide tamper-proof distributable code as well as being able to bind identities to client certificates for email security and remote two factor authentication, such as SSL VPNs. The company has a rich history of innovation within the online security market and operates sales and support offices in the US, UK, Belgium, Japan, and China with services available in a number of European and Asian languages.
GMO Internet Inc. (CEO Masatoshi Kumagai) is headquartered in Tokyo and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, First Section (Code: 9449). Its Internet based business areas include Internet infrastructure and media.

Dell tries to trademark 'cloud computing'
Dell may be trying to grab control of a term that could define technology infrastructure for years to come.
The company is applying to trademark the term "cloud computing," according to a document on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Web site.
Learn more about what cloud computing really means and the new breed of utility computing and platform-as-a-service offerings. ]
The application has reached the Notice of Allowance phase, where a company receives "a written notification from the USPTO that a specific mark has survived the opposition period ... and has consequently been allowed for registration," according to the USPTO Web site. The opposition period gives other parties a chance to object to an application.
However, it does not mean a trademark has been registered yet. "Receiving a notice of allowance is another step on the way to registration," the USPTO says on its Web site.
In the application, Dell describes cloud computing as "custom manufacture of computer hardware for use in data centers and mega-scale computing environments for others."
Dell officials declined to comment on the application.
The term cloud computing, which has emerged in the last few years, refers to a computing environment where data and services reside in scalable datacenters accessible over the Internet. The demand for such environments is being driven by the growth of technologies such as social networking, streaming media, and mobile devices.
Through its Cloud Computing Solutions program, Dell already offers cloud computing services, including datacenter designs and hardware and services for datacenters.
Dell is far from being alone in the world of cloud computing. IBM is working with universities to develop hardware and software management tools for large-scale computing environments. Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Yahoo, and several universities joined forces this week to promote cloud computing research and education for data-intensive Internet applications.
Microsoft and Apple have recently launched their own Internet-based cloud computing services for storing and accessing data, called Live Mesh and MobileMe, respectively.
