I love video games but I have to admit I struggled in Integral Calculus in college getting only around 85% in rating simply because I was hooked up on Diablo 1 and Warcraft II. I was very good in Math and 85% was way below my usual scores, but then again videos games was just awesome.

Nonetheless, I feel for the Game “cancer” group who says of the following on video games:

“It’s much greater than the effect of smoking on lung cancer,” psychologist Dr Wayne Warburton said.

Jakob Nielsen is a foremost authority on web design and usability and one of his earlier articles this year was about the 10 best intranet designs of 2010.

The top things for Intranet design include:

1. Growing intranet teams
2. Mobile Intranet sites
3. Social features on intranet
4. Emergency preparedness
5. Continuous trends = Continuous quality improvement

In the continuous trends = continuous quality improvement, Jakob specifically listed “Frequent use of SharePoint”. The things he noted as improvement for quality improvement include page templates, editorial workflows, news stream, personalization, customization, intranet search, people search, ROI.

Did Microsoft get SharePoint right the first time around?

That’s a question going through my mind right now after reading an article over at ZDNet where Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer answered in an interview that Google did it right first. The interview done was during the Search Engine Marketing Expo in Silicon Valley. In Steve Ballmer’s answer: “The Number One thing that Google benefits from in search is that they did it right first. There’s a value to incumbency. But that’s not to say that Bing can’t catch up and even hit profitability with search. And the companies have certainly picked up the pace of innovation. But there’s still really a lot of work to do.”

The one thing I hate about windows 7 is the lack of the quick launch bar. I tried other bars like rocketbar and such but it just wasn’t the same. Then at work one day I came up with this great idea. check it out.
