SAMSUNG S 4


Today, Samsung unveiled its newest smartphone, the Galaxy S 4, right here in New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The Samsung S 4 is the latest smartphone to be previewed and has yet to come out into retail, with a release date set sometime in late April. The phone is the work of new technology, new logistics and a sleeker design. The S 4 has a 5 inch screen and is .31 inches thin. It runs on a faster chip and has a 13-megapixel camera that allows rear and front cameras to take simultaneous photos and videos. The phone will connect to next-generation LTE networks and has capability to connect to higher speed Wi-Fi networks. New software features includes a function that lets users control the smartphone screen with their eyes. Users can also wave their hands to scroll up and down a Web page or accept a call, or hover their fingers to preview the content of any media without having to open it. The phone also includes temperature and humidity sensors, as well as one designed to automatically monitor one's health. Perhaps the most apparent change is the introduction of the Samsung Hub, the Samsung version of iTunes, where users will be able to purchase and download music, books and other media.


The introduction of this new phone puts Samsung back on top in the leader of innovation of smartphones. They have raised the bar once again. This is great for Samsung, especially after the poor iPhone 5 earnings. The new technology will help boost Samsung’s initiative to increase its market share in the United States. The WSJ reports that Samsung ended last year with a leading 30.3% share of the world-wide smartphone market, up from 19% at the end of 2011. Apple's market share was essentially flat, as the company held on to the No. 2 spot with 19.1%, up from 18.8% in 2011. The increase in market share from the S 3 was heavily indicative of Samsung’s new technological advances. I believe that Samsung will not have the iPhone 5 moment, where the hype exceeded the earnings, because they have incorporated new, innovative and never-before-seen technology into this smartphone. Great earnings are in store ahead for Samsung. And even if Samsung doesn’t do too well, they will still have me as a customer!

Career Lessons from Breaking Bad

Image
AMC's Breaking Bad ended with a bang last Sunday, leaving viewers generally content and definitely shell shocked. Though the ride is over, we can finally look back at the series and reflect on how we can learn from both Heisenberg's victories and mistakes. How can a meth kingpin help you and your future careers? Here are some takeaways : 1. Be hard to replace   : Find a specific skill set and make sure you are good enough that nobody can quickly take your place. Whether it be modeling, analysis, writing, communication, or even a certain product with a 99.1% purity, having a specific niche or strength can ensure job security. Just try not to kill fellow associates to eliminate competition. 2. Associate with the right people : If you are the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. Surround yourself with people who you believe can bring out the best in you. Doing business with a high school dropout and drug addict will certainly lead to complications in the fut...

Things We Now Know

The poor are losing ground in the new Obama world.  The facts are showing up even in the halls of collectivist extremes like the New York Times.  The rich are getting richer and poor are being locked in place.  Big government is throttling the economy and the hopes and dreams of lower and middle class Americans. Today's Wall Street Journal's article by Simon Constable lays out some of the simple and obvious facts of the Obama era: "The richest 20% of households account for 38% of spending, according to government data for 2011, the latest available.  Compare that with 2003 when the top earners spent 26% of the total."  The article goes on to say..."it could get even worse."  It will. Who really benefits when the regulators strangle the banks?  Do banks really need to get much more conservative in their lending practices?  Why does the government know best?  How far can you stretch the FDIC guarantees before American banking is simply a subsid...
