From Noodles to Galaxies - Samsung

Last fall, on a mid-September morning, amidst great hype and fanfare, Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook stepped onto the stage to reveal to the world, the iPhone 5. Simultaneously, far away, in a Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Los Angeles huddled up around laptops and TVs, were a geeky group of marketing executives, carefully tracking each new feature they introduced and monitoring the swarm of online comments via blogs and social media websites.

Two hours later, when Mr. Cook stepped off the stage, the group had already drafted a series of print, digital and Tv ads. The following week - as the iPhone 5 went on sale - the company aired their TV ad mocking the Apple fans queuing up for the new phone. The commercial went on to become the most popular tech ad of 2012, with 70 million views online. The company that remarkable pulled this off - Samsung Mobiles.

Samsung started out in 1938, with forty employees, selling noodles and groceries in a province called Su-dong. It was fairly good at what it was doing, but not even in his wildest dreams would Lee-Byung Chull, the owner, have imagined the heights his small business was going to scale, the records it was going to break, the fact that eventually it would find its place at the very zenith, looking down on them all.

An interesting anecdote that changed the course of Samsung transpired in the year 1995, a red-letter year in the history of the company. That year, Kun-Hee Lee, the then chairman of Samsung, sent out the company's newest mobile phones as New Year's presents. Word filtered in, that the phones did not work; enraged and livid; Kun-Hee went drove to his company's plant and set the entire inventory ablaze. Since then Samsung has made R&D one of it's primary activities and hence made quantum leaps in the world of electronics.

Today, Samsung is one of the largest conglomerates in the world and South Korea's knight in shining armor. It is the world's largest information technology company and the world's second largest shipbuilder. But what interests me the most is its mercurial rise to power in the mobile phone industry over the last three years. With the Galaxy S3 dethroning the iPhone and becoming the world's best-selling phone, and with Samsung displacing Nokia to become the market leader in the cell phone industry (with a market share of 28%), they have announced their presence; loud and clear.

Samsung's unfathomable success in the smart phone industry over the past few years can be credited to the South Korean mentality; to compete, to be disciplined and to move fast (quite literally, they walk fast, talk fast, eat fast) amalgamated with the western hunger for innovation and research. They might not have been the first phone to use Google's Android operating system, but they sharply moved ahead of the pack by developing one which has a strikingly thin, bright and large screen, equipped with cutting-edge features like the ability to 'beam' photos by pressing together the backs of two phones.

Aided by a tight supply chain, Samsung has percolated into every corner of the globe, churning out 215 million smartphones last year. From launching the F480, the most stylish full touch smartphone of 2008 to the impending launch of the Galaxy S4 which is rumored to be equipped with the Octa CPU and the SmartScroll which tracks' the users eyes to scroll through pages, Samsung has come a long long way.

All in all, observing Samsung's phenomenal rise to power, what excites the engineer in me is the abound scope of innovation the field of electronics possesses, what excites the tech-geek in me is the progress these smart phones have made and the boundaries they are yet to breach, most of all what excites the entrepreneur in me is the inspiration to persevere and claw my way to the very top, following the very good example set by the mighty Samsung.

Journey To Web Development Begins!!!!!

Yeah i m on seventh sky as i hav written my first document yippee 

Its not an easy task the guys at w3schools and p2pu university helped me 

MY FIRST HTML DOCUMENT

now I understand that while surfing and by mistake we press F12 key and some  weird code appears that's the web page developing code now i can also design a small webpage .

It might be a little generic with the well known "Hello World" and everything , yet it's a great accomplishment for me. I noticed that these symbols "< >" encircle a command or the description of what follows. Once a command has been "called" (<command>)you must end it with an "end command" by adding a slash before the name of the command (</command>).  Ex: <title> My name is Pranav </title>This slash "/" let the computer know that the command ends there and that "My name is Bob" is the range of the "command".
The website w3schools provide an editor to write code and u can see ur output side by side.

so next time try pressing f12 key and understand the coding behind the website i sure u will be addicted to it so start learning now
go go go go.....!!!!!!

Success Story

Success Story - Mark Zuckerberg

Networking King...

Some have called him a boy genius - Time Magazine named him person of the year in 2010, others simply know him as the guy who created Facebook. But unlike the founder of MySpace, Tom Phillips, what Zuckerberg created in his college dorm room at the tender age of 19, was nothing short of a worldwide phenomenon that changed the way people and businesses interact forever.

Growing Up

Born to well-off Jewish parents, Karen and Edward Zuckerberg, in the suburb of White Plains, New York, Mark was raised in the trendy village of Dobbs Ferry, New York. But don't let his upper class upbringing fool you: Zuckerberg excelled in his studies at Phillips Exeter Academy. Along with his three sister, Randi, Donna and Arielle (Randi worked for Facebook at one point) they won numerous prizes for science, math and other subject throughout middle school and high school years.

Known as "Zuck" to his friends and family, he developed a fondness for communications and computers early on. When he was 12 years old, he developed a messaging system with Atari BASIC, which his father, a dentist, used regularly in his practice. He graduated high school with a focus on literary classics and enrolled in Harvard in 2002.

The Concept of Facebook

Obviously Harvard has and is known for cultivating great talents born out of great individuals. Poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, President Barack Obama, businessman Bill Gates and cellist Yo Yo Ma are among the many Harvard graduates that have gone on to become leaders and innovators. For Zuckerberg, graduation was too far away to become a success and a leader of the networking industry. It was during his sophomore year at Harvard when he created Facebook; the social networking site that now connects over 550 million people worldwide.

While the movie, The Social Network, may have made Zuckerberg out to be a greedy, introverted kid, the reality of that story was far from the truth. There was some confusion about the initial concept of who created the basic idea of Facebook while Zuckerberg was at school, but until his company became well-known, nothing was said about his creation. As Zuckerberg stated in many interviews from the New York Times to the Atlantic Wire, he wanted to be mature about the situation and settled with an out-of-court payment to appease those who may have been involved in Facebook's inception. Ultimately, it is clear that only Mark could take Facebook to the heights he had planned for it to be.

¬Who is the man/boy really? He is modest, dresses in jeans and t-shirts most days and rents out a small home near fellow Harvard dropout, Steve Jobs. He talks quickly, gets excited about anything to do with technology and is, above all, highly creative. He has a tight-knit family, a close group of friends and desires fervently to further the success of his company rather than himself.

Facebook started as a connection for Harvard-only students. It then grew to allow all Ivy League schools. When Facebook received a huge investment of $12.7 million dollars from a capital firm named Accel Partners, he decided to take the company to the next level. He moved his operation to Palo Alto, California –also known as Silicone Valley. Soon after, he decided to not go back to his Ivy League education, and instead devoted his time to creating a social network that is now worth more than $50 billion dollars. Zuckerberg's Present As the world’s youngest billionaire, his personal net worth is approximately $6.9 billion. Fortune 500 companies like Viacom and Yahoo both have offered deals in the billions to acquire his concept. But Zuckerberg is sticking to his guns, working to constantly improve the site, making it easier for people to share messages, photos, videos, updates, play games, and more.

While most companies at this point in its obviously wild success would be turned to a public company, Zuckerberg has kept it private to maintain the most control on decisions regarding the site and the service. There has been discussion of Facebook becoming a publicly traded company, but for now, those thoughts are a couple of years away.

The Future

While Zuckerberg had his hands full in the past turning down offers and tightening Facebook's privacy issues, the future of Facebook is somewhat hazy. As he states, "I am here to build something for the long term. Anything else is a distraction." It may seem to some that Facebook has reached its pinnacle, that being the youngest, the biggest and the best networking site in the world means you have achieved it all. However, "Zuck" isn't done yet. Just as Steve Jobs' continued to reinvent the proverbial wheel with Apple computers, the iPod and the iPhone, Facebook may very well be the start of a conglomeration of ideas that Zuckerberg plans to share with the world. With a near-perfect score on his SATs, that alone should tell you that the inner-workings of Zuckerberg's mind are far from resting.
