Steve Jobs most hated Business words
The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines ''branding'' as the activity of giving a particular name and image to goods and services so that people will be attracted to them and want to buy them. It gives the meaning of ''Marketing'' as the activity of presenting, and advertising and selling a company's products in the best possible way. In reality, almost all businesses depend on these two to succeed. But one man out of 5 billion people, said that these two were the most dreaded words, to him. The great Apple Visionary Steve Jobs thought so.

Is Apple going the way of BlackBerry?
Sometimes I'm tempted to say the future of Apple Computers is in Jeopardy. Since the death of Steve Jobs nothing has really change in Apple. The products Jobs brought up and left behind are still the same. No new products have been released asides the iPad, iPhone, iPod and Mac. What is Tim Cook doing? Please Sir come up with some brilliant new products.
If you want to sell your product quickly and impressed consumers beyond what they want, it needs a wow factor. You know, as they say ''it is better to be a live dog than a dead lion'' so let us wait patiently and see what Tim has in store for us. Time will tell. I miss #SteveJobs

Nigerian Subscribers lose $5 billion annually
During an exclusive interview with Vanguard, NATCOM boss Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo revealed that Nigerian Subscribers lose a minimum $5 billion(N730 billion) each year to over poor quality of service.
Chief Ogunbanjo said there was no disruption of service in Nigeria and, see no reason why these networks still refuse to compensate subscribers for providing poor quality of service.
The NATCOM boss said it's a shame that the failed to protect consumers from poor quality of service and demanded that the N647 million fine impose by the telecom body against these networks should be paid as compensation to subscribers rather than the government, saying it is far from benefiting since it does not have direct impact of QOS.

Shame on Microsoft! Wants to pay you to stop using XP
But before you leap read this. The $5o digital gift card and 90 days of free support( covers both phone and chat options) are entitled to XP users living ONLY in the US. However XP users in other countries can transfer their data for free should you get a new PC. Visit Microsoft Store Deal
Nice offer no doubt, but it is a shame for Microsoft to think that all users live in the U.S. If you are unaware, two-third of Windows XP users and businesses are in developing nations. Microsoft is not targeting the right people
