Does Google Instant enhancement fails for Search?

We were discussing over a cup of tea in office cafeteria that Google's Instant search enhancement will shows options for searching is helpful or not...
There were mixed reactions -
1) I dont want to see that list down I get confused
2) Some agreed that as per the statistics they fealt that it reduced 2-3 sec per search
3) One said - The value it gives is nothing. Search results are based on hits and not relevant to what she is looking. Often the ones below are meaningful.
The funny thing is that even Google seemed to recognize this, and tried to play up the importance by pooling all time savings across all searches of all customers. In total, they estimated the world would save 3.5 billion seconds per day. (As I read some where on this...dont remember the link though)

Can Networking really help in getting a good job?

Effective and Efficient Networking - Business or Personal can lead you into a high paying and satisfactory Job.
How - I recently came accross an incident in my Office, I guess many may have a similar experience, In my Project's Testing Team people share great rapport with each other. The Test Lead quit and joined a high paying competitior as a Test Manager. He had to create a new team for his Project in the new organisation, he knew people were not Happy in his last organisation. He mailed on their personal ID's - Few went got selected and got better paying jobs with a better big player in the market - Now thats were good networking can lead to sometimes :)

This is a very very common example I guess but can be seen at many places.

To Communicate and build our networks we often are nervous to approach people. I feel if we take care on a few basic things we can come over it -

1)Be informed about the crowd/people we have to meet.
2)Relax before approaching and speaking
3)First believe in what you have to tell/say.
4)If possible, know what not to talk about, which can go negative for our self :)

I firmly believe in networking......its a great help when you need more information/connections :)
So Happy Networking.... !!!

Performance Boosting of Vista - 10 simple things to do

1. Upgrade your machine's RAM as Vista is memory hungry.

2. Use a USB or Flash Drive to provide for extra memory and fool Vista :) it works

3. Place a good Video Card - If RAM does not help replace this.

4. Remove extra startup programs that vendor might have added.

5. Get off Visual Enhancements - all the flashy things

6. Adjust indexing options

7. Clean up and defrag the disk

8. Boost performance by setting your power settings to the High Performance option.

5 simple things to consider before starting on a startup

Just found a simple list of 5 simple things that looks promising before the conception of a startup....

1. Focus - Stortlisting of Target Audience and Demographics - sounded important to me. What ever Idea or Product it is it has to be targetted to right Audience and Demographics to click.
Though I am still unsure what I want to start on...in my whole career I have only worked on MS technologies...catered just to the need of Project to Project...Client to Client...Oh God !! Something has to strike out of it...My Decisions are getting firmer...

2. Different is not enough - I believe in that..People and even me I will always want my current items with a little difference...not lots of it...its good to try different things sometimes but not on a routine basis.What I cannot take on a routine is not gonna sell too.

3. It's me who knows - Its me who knows how my baby grows and behaves...So, I have to keep my itentions and mind clear on what I want the end result to be...It can be different then the initial draft though.

4. Hire smart - When ever I'll hire I would like people of similar mindset.

5. Get some type of management training - An important aspect on my Agenda. I dont want to get caught fighting for some procedural things and want some inital steps to take on the world.

I always remember a recent dialouge from a bollywood flick...Break ke Baad... "I am a STAR in every sceene of my Life"...Thats what is driving me so far........
