10 annoying habits your Outlook users need to break

Outlook users probably generate the most annoying calls for support personnel. Word and Excel users want to know how to “do stuff,” but Outlook users usually need something fixed. They’re not malicious mistakes by any means, but Outlook is a complex tool and users are preoccupied with getting their work done — things just happen. Training goes a long way in many cases. If you can teach your users not to do these 10 things, you and your users will all be happier.

1: Clicking Reply All

When someone sends a message to multiple accounts, the recipients can respond to everyone by choosing Reply All instead of Reply. That means some of your users will get responses they don’t need to see. It’s a waste of their time. It’s probably the most annoying thing Outlook users do. There’s no cure for this one except to tell them not to. Some will ignore you, and some will do it accidentally anyway.

2: Using the all list

Many organizations have distribution lists so employees can send the same message to everyone on their team, everyone in the editorial department, all the managers, and so on. But one list usually goes to everyone in the organization. Users rejoice to learn that they can let everyoneknow when their daughters are selling cookies, when they’re going on vacation, when they’ve moved their office, when they’re collecting for a good cause… you see where this is going. This breach of good manners annoys everyone.
Tell your users to use the list judiciously — seldom, if at all. If it becomes a problem, restrict who can use the list.

3: Opening attachments from strangers

Some users see an attachment as a gift — surprise! They just can’t help themselves. You can tell users not to open attachments, but good virus protection will usually protect the system, just in case. That’s the good news. The bad news is, users still open attachments from strangers.

4: Clicking links

Clicking links is fun. They take you to cool sites with all kinds of offers and fun stuff — and embedded controls and scripts that do all kinds of evil things to the system. Most links are harmless, but most users can’t discern a legitimate link from one that leads to a phishing site, hard drive failure, or worse.
Consistent training helps, but experience is the best teacher. Making this mistake carries a heavy fine: The user can’t work until someone fixes the system. It’s also humiliating and can be a bit scary for them. Implement the best software defenses you can, consistently remind users not to click links in unsolicited emails, and hope for the best.

5: Sharing stuff

I can’t help wondering how much bandwidth and storage users waste spreading gossip and sharing angels will save the world chain letters, pictures of their offspring doing adorable things, and so on. Most organizations tolerate this misuse to promote harmony, even if it is annoying and wasteful. It’s hard to put a price on good will.

6: Forgetting passwords

Long heavy mournful sigh, followed by a bit of gentle head banging.
Most users don’t have to password-protect Outlook, but occasionally, you run into a setup where multiple users access their email via the same machine. To access their account, they have to remember their password. Good luck with that.

7: Ignoring messages

Some users just don’t want to communicate via email. They don’t like it and they don’t want it. But in most organizations, email is no longer a convenience; it’s how co-workers interact. Unfortunately, there’s always one or two users who refuse to play nicely, who ignore emails or claim, “I never got that message.” You can try to correct this behavior through training, but it usually turns into a management issue.

8: Sending email to everyone in their address book

Sending an email to everyone in the address book isn’t easy to do — I mean, it’s not easy to do by accident. Yet users still manage to do it. This is especially annoying if Outlook adds every sender to the address book as emails arrive. What a wasteful, annoying mess, especially if you have to get the administrator involved to try to recall them. (Just thinking about calling an admin makes me genuflect uncontrollably.) Training won’t help here. Just say, “Don’t ever do that again.”

9: Deleting necessary items

One of the great support mysteries is why Outlook users delete contacts, only to discover they need them after all. This happens with all Outlook items, in fact: emails, tasks, appointments, and so on. You might encourage users not to be so quick to delete items. Let old items hang around for a while until they’re truly obsolete. The exception is email; no one benefits from a neglected Inbox.

10: Deleting a profile

Outlook profiles relate accounts and settings to specific users. Most users will have only one, but having more than one is an efficient way to keep things separate. For instance, users might want a profile for work and another for home. You can also accommodate multiple users on the same machine  by creating a profile for each user. Unfortunately, they sometimes delete profiles. I’m not sure how or why they do it, but they do.

Visual Studio 2012 – A Sneak Peek At Microsoft’s Upcoming Product

 

 

 -  is all set to release the next increment of its popular development environment. Visual Studio 2010 has made and continues to make a huge impact on the IDE market. I’m a fan of their developer tools, especially when it comes to Visual Studio. The kind of development environment it offers for developers is just seamless!

With so much for me to yet discover and learn about the Visual Studio 2012, i’m excited to discuss about its next version and what all will it be offering to the development community. So here are some of the few fascinating that i have discovered so far; that’ll make it on Visual Studio 2012.
This is a feature that you can use while writing your code. You can maximize the code window by selecting it, thus hiding your solution explorer and the output window.

This was possible before way back in the 1990′s in Visual Basic 6, but now you can do this in Visual Studio 2012. You can pause your code during execution, modify it and then the compiler handles the rest for you.

A real handy feature for all developers.
Will probably help reduce the number of silly mistakes while programming. Useful to compensate the programmer’s forgetfulness, when it comes to adding semi colons at the end of statements. There are potential rumours that the compiler may also add closing brackets and braces. Damn you Microsoft  for making the programmer’s work more convenient and lazy!
A widely embraced feature by most lazy programmers and students. Copying and pasting code picked up from the internet will just become more convenient. Visual studio will now apply its own changes to the copied code and redevelop it for you so that it makes some sense.

EvilCodeMonkey
Visual Studio 2012 IntelliSense
For all those who copy and paste code directly without even thinking for a second now have an evil monkey by their side. This new feature included in the IntelliSense will point out at the part of the code that has to be written the correct way and ask you to Google it on how to do it, as the source points. Again, no candy for Bing eh?
Be it VB, C# or F#, while viewing your code, you can have it translated to any of these languages you wish to view your code in.

Thanks & regards,

NFC Technology – Everything You Need To Know

NFC Technology (Near Field Communication Technology) will bring in the ‘next level’ convenience and sensibility to the way we exchange information. This technology can easily be scaled up to many areas of applicability, which is what makes it another add-on into the list of ‘Next-Big-Things’. Now, lets look at some of the key aspects of NFC Technology including what it is, how it works, NFC in the market place and it’s future.

What is NFC?
NFC stands for Near Field Communication and as the name suggests, the key for this technology lies in devices being in close proximity or contact with each other. Once devices have established the proximity, which is enabled very quickly (0.1 sec), the communication is enabled. The distances in terms for NFC must be very small, usually less than an inch and as such it is different from comparable communications like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for which there are natural comparisons.

How NFC Technology works
Near field Communication operates through short wave radio transmission. Devices that operate NFC technology like smartphones or PDAs, are equipped with an NFC chip. The process of communication between the chip in one device and the chip in another device is an electronic process called inductive coupling. This coupling is a development of an earlier technology, Radio Frequency Identification (). With RFID, the technology had a ‘send and receive’ process and was used in a one directional format. NFC takes this process to the next level and allows two way communication between NFC devices.

This video talks about how NFC Technology works,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xkuS0DHh5tg

NFC in the Marketplace
The current scope of NFC services is in its infancy in terms of market launch and proliferation. The global range of the product is sporadic and there are a variety of test locations which have embraced this technology, the key markets of USA and Japan are showing a steadily growing rise in the number of transactions as the technology takes hold. In recent surveys, a growing number of people have stated that they would much rather pay using their phone than carry cash. The scope is of demand is being trialled in some key market areas in Europe and Asia with a growing body of evidence revealing general product in performance in France, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom and Tanzania.

France offers the earliest evidence of information with NFC technology in operation, during the early May 2010. There, NFC has been used for purchases of civil services like transportation information and ticketing, similar services have been used for the system in South Korea from later in that same year. More recent progress of the technology can be seen in Turkey where, from early 2011 in Turkey up to 55,000 separate retail processes could be operated using the system. A more limited facility (15,000 outlets) mainly through banks and mobile phone companies has been in evidence in the UK through 2011 and Tanzania.

The statistical data on the number of Near Field Communication transactions globally illustrates a growing trend for usage, but one which is only at the tip of the iceberg if general predictions are to be believed. According to statistics released by Juniper Research Visa has issued 20,000,000 NFC enabled cards and Google Wallet can currently operate at 311,000 locations globally. Predictions for the number of transactions to be made using NFC devices over the coming couple of years show a sharp increase to a plausible 50,000,000 global transactions by 2014. The bulk of these will occur in Europe, US and Asia.


Brands already incorporating NFC
It is also estimated the more than 1/10th of the smart phones sold globally were NFC ready devices with many of the major brands including Blackberry, , Google and employing the technology in a range of their handsets. In addition to the handsets. the technology is a part of MasterCard and it can even be found in the Wii controller. Although this claim is yet to be verified, it is rumored that Apple has come on board and has planned to have NFC as part of 5 and .

Emerging markets
The growth of NFC technology is not limited to developed markets either with the rise in usage occurring in a number of emerging markets. A recent report for Financial Firm Citigroup stated that there were,

Future of NFC
I am convinced – as sure as I am sitting here, on my chaise sectional typing this and watching several new devices on a number of well-known auction websites, that Near Field Communication is here and set to be the next big thing. Watch out for stores in your locality promoting the use of paying by handset. With key players like Google and Apple preparing themselves for this market, it is inevitable that NFC (with the era beginning with ) will become a part of our society.

Microsoft unveils Windows 8 for consumer testing

Microsoft has let consumers start trying out its upcoming touch-based Windows 8 operating system, which aims to power a new wave of computer tablets and traditional PCs designed to counter Apple’s big gains in the market through its Macs and iPads.
The test “beta” version of the revamped system was introduced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the planet’s largest cell phone trade show, and borrows some of the look of Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 software for Windows 8.
Windows 8 doesn’t have the traditional “Start” menu, and applications are spread across a mosaic of tiles in a design Microsoft calls “Metro” — seen as an attempt by the company as a scramble to preserve its market share. And executives said it powers up on PCs in eight seconds, much faster than the previous version.
Windows Store
Microsoft is also opening an Internet “Windows Store” where users can download applications for the operating system, but only if they have Windows 8. Applications are free for those testing out the beta version, but would include both free and paid versions after the operating system is released.
The test version was downloaded by people from more than 70 countries as Microsoft gave its presentation about Windows 8, but the company didn’t immediately disclose the number of downloads. The software can be downloaded at
Apple is also moving features from its iPhone and iPad software over to its Mac software. That trend will be particularly visible in Mountain Lion, the new Mac operating system that’s expected to be released this summer.
Windows 8 will also be the first Microsoft software in a long time besides its cell phone software that will run on non-Intel style processors. The company is developing a version that will run on phone-style chips, such as those used in the iPad.
If Windows 8 is a hit, it could help struggling PC makers, including Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. Besides giving businesses and consumers a reason to consider new PC purchases, Windows 8 is expected to spawn a new breed of hybrid machines that will be part tablet computer and part laptop like the device that Sinofsky demonstrated.
If Windows 8 is a flop, however, it will increase the pressure on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. His 12-year reign has been marred by the company’s troubles adapting to an Internet-driven upheaval. As Microsoft has stumbled, faster-innovating companies such as Apple and Google have elbowed their way into a position to steer the direction of computing for the next decade or two.
Windows 8 is radically different from its predecessors, with its tiles that provide a glimpse at the activity occurring in applications connected to the Web, such as email.
The system also is expected to enable users to easily back up their pictures, movies, music and other files on a Microsoft storage service called SkyDrive, which will compete against Apple’s iCloud.
Windows 8 could inspire more PC makers to design machines that combine the convenience of tablets with the utility of a notebook computer. These devices would be similar to the so-called “ultrabook” computers that offer a Windows-based version of Apple’s lightweight MacBook Air machines.
Once Windows 8 is available, the ultrabook line could be expanded to include machines equipped with a screen that swivels off the keyboard to take advantage of the system’s touch controls and provide a tablet-like experience.

Google’s New Privacy Policy

 
Google’s new move to collect information is not so new in its nature as it has already been gathering all per-existing information.
The policy is based on the simplicity to facilitate Googlers.
According to available data, Google was just a single search engine in 1998 and now it’s an Internet behemoth that has accrued more than “60 product-specific privacy policies.”
Now the users can demand Google to delete their personal information from its records if they want to close their accounts.” Here are five ways to exposure online to minimize it.
1. Disable automatic log-in. Presently user has to sign in to use YouTube, Search and other Google products even if you are not signed into your Google account. On the Accounts Preferences page, you can disable this feature. If you still want to use automatic signing in, you can go into your browser’s privacy settings and clear all cache and cookies.
2.Opt out of ads based on interests and demographics. On Google’s Ad  Preferences page, you can edit or remove the interests Google has determined for you or opt out entirely.
3. Use an anonymizing tool. Anonymizer Company offers a large range of services to keep your personal information safe and secure by overwhelming all your online activity through an translated tunnel.
4. Allow private browsing mode. Most browsers feature a “private” mode, where any online activity won’t be followed. This means the browser will not store search history or cookies, which house data such as sites you visit, preferences and login information.
5. Turn to resources other than Google. There are search engines and other mobile and web services completely unaffiliated with Google. Ixquick, for example, calls itself “the world’s most private search engine. “DuckDuckGo” search engine does not collect or share personal information too.
Google says: “Google just rolled out a streamlined privacy policy that consolidates your personal information for use across various Google-owned services. Despite some criticism and accusations of an Orwellian Big Brother scenario, the updated policy’s goal, is “to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience.”

Networking No No’s!




We have seen the importance of social media in our personal lives and we have also seen its effectiveness when it comes to our careers. These social networking websites have both work and play to offer; however, in the excitement of it all we do go overboard by mixing the two together. Be mindful one should have a clear partition between the personal and professional aspect. This article covers the five most ineffective networking practices

1. Not Keeping in Touch
Most of the times when we add someone to our buddy list, we don’t think twice before clicking the “add friend” button. Once added, we forget about them – not keeping in touch is considered very rude and if the person you recently added happens to be a professional, my friend you just hammered your own foot. Following up with your contacts is very important, once you establish connections with other professionals express your interest and show you are keen to keep in touch. Remember your interaction; make notes if you have to so the next time you interact you are up to date.
2. Pointless Profile Activity
Social networking websites are just like meetings; some are “hang outs” where you can crack jokes, relax and kick back – while others are like “meetings” or “formal gatherings” where you are required to wear particular attire and expected to behave accordingly. Posting inappropriate links, starting pointless discussions or making childish comments will only make your profile weaker. Imagine, you are at a formal dinner with your parents, you see a few people your age, the rest are all grownups with silver hair and aged foreheads, how would you feel if one of the people your age starts hammer time right in the middle of the tables? Doesn’t sound like a good idea; does it? Same is the case here; make sure your posts, comments and replies are appropriate and in accordance with the nature of the site.
3. Making Insignificant Impressions
When we talk about impressions, they should be strong and long lasting. A memorable experience will speak volumes for a long time, so make sure every interaction you have, leaves a strong impression. Interact in a way that evokes emotion and feelings, you should be mindful of your abilities and market yourself well with all you have.
4. The True Meaning
Often professionals would like to employ networking websites to sell themselves or add to their card collection. Take the time out to know people around, talk about common interests share views and discuss accordingly. Try to develop and maintain a healthy relationship and if you can volunteer your services. It is all about making contacts, right?
5. Big Mouth
We like to have our minds heard, and it is alright as long as you don’t overdo it. Pay attention to what is going on, what are people talking about, what is that discussion about? If there is a particular topic being discussed and you feel like commenting, make sure your information is correct and up to date. Focus on the people you meet by listening to what they say and try to remember the interaction. A positive upbeat attitude will speak for your personality; it will also allow others to feel more comfortable with you. Even if you are going through some tough times, tell it in a way that is light and positive.
Other than the five points mentioned above, the “profile picture” also seems to be an issue. Let it be clear, on a professional networking website no one wants to see the size of your biceps, or that posh car you have – and surely they have no interest in how good you look with that double shadow eye shade or how pretty your hands look with a French manicure. Your profile picture should be “modest enough” preferably with you wearing something formal. That picture you have on your profile is the first thing other people might see and not all of them will be willing to give you a second chance to improve on your impression.
Having an awareness of these ineffective networking strategies improves your chances with your competition. There are many professional networking websites with a number of high key professionals actively participating; make sure you send out the right impression, you never know the person you are interacting with might be willing to offer you the position of your dreams.

10 signs that you aren't cut out to be an IT manager

At some stage, many people will find themselves asking this question. Why did they leave that great little job to take a turn in the management ranks? Let’s take a few minutes to consider how you can avoid becoming a member of this group.

At one time or another, most of us will come to a point in our lives when it’s time to determine our next step. As a business and success coach, I often hear from people who are wondering if it’s time to make a change in their lives. Things may be going well, or not-so-well, but for whatever reason, they’re thinking that it’s time for change. They come to me for help figuring out what’s next in their career.

Most people are not in jobs that they planned and studied for. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty clear that many people are in careers that just “happened.” They started working at a job thinking it was going to be something they’d do until they decided what they really wanted to get involved in, and then they just stayed around until it became a kind of career.

In other cases, individuals are in jobs or professions based on the guidance or encouragement of other people in their lives. Perhaps their parents always wanted a doctor in the family. Maybe their boyfriend or wife kept telling them they were capable of “better” things and needed to get moving on their career. My point is this: Regardless of how they got to where they are now, it wasn’t, for most of the population, a well thought-out plan that was skillfully executed.

In my coaching practice, I’ve learned that this situation often translates into people doing work that really isn’t right for them personally. They may be doing okay, but they sure don’t bound out of bed looking forward to getting to work each day.

We are all more successful when we are doing things we enjoy. To help clients decide what that may be, I ask them a few questions designed to get them to take an honest look at who they are at their core.
For those of you who’ve been thinking, Maybe I should make the move into management,” I’ve put together this list of 10 warning signals. If any of these hit you as your personal reality, the chances are that you are not cut out to be a manager.

#1: You have a real desire to be liked

Many people feel better when most of the people they are in daily contact with like them. Usually, those same folks won’t feel satisfied when they know that others don’t like or respect them. Management is not about popularity contests. The best managers take the right action to get the job done in the most effective manner, and they know that may mean asking or telling others to do things, some of which may not make them popular. It comes with the territory. If you think you can always please everyone on your team and be effective, you are going to be disappointed.

#2: You prefer to avoid the spotlight and just be a part of the gang

Management is all about taking the lead. This means making decisions and standing up to tell others what you’ve decided. Management-by-consensus can work for some issues and opportunities, but it is rarely effective over the long term. At some stage, all groups will want their manager to stand up and act like one.

#3: Every time you are called on to comment about the topic being discussed, you experience short-term memory loss

Strong managers have good verbal communication skills. Even if you’re in a company with offices spread across the world, knowing how to take your point of view forward to others is a key quality of effectiveness. If you think that making conversation or having meetings with people you don’t know well is painful; you are going to flounder in management.

#4: Having a tough conversation with an employee causes you a great deal of duress

At some point, every manager will have to deal with an “issue” created by an employee or by the company itself. Things like personal appearance (”Stan, we don’t show three inches of underwear above our pants at ABC Corporation”) or annual performance assessments (”Susie, I’m sorry but we can’t give you the same size raise as the average for the department because your contributions were not as good as required”) are never easy for anyone. But they need to be done.

#5: You don’t like to make tough decisions

Managers are required to make decisions of all sizes everyday. I realize this sounds obvious, but I am continually surprised by how difficult it can be for a large percentage of the population. The fact is, some folks prefer to be told what to do and they will thrive doing the best job once given that kind of direction. If you prefer being given the answer or the direction to proceed over being the one who assigns and directs the tasks at hand, you’re probably not going to enjoy being a manager. Face the facts now and you can get on with enjoying your life as a team member.

#6: Being stuck in the middle between the leaders and the team makes your stomach churn

The real, day-to-day life of most managers is that they have people above them and people below them. In many cases, the ones above them will expect the manager to perform well, create thoughtful reports, give them answers to their questions, and develop action plans and proposals. In a similar fashion, those below them will want someone they can come to for direction, advice, counseling, and feedback. Both of these “constituents” will be cranky on many occasions, forgetting all the good stuff you’ve done in the past. If you don’t relish having to feed two sets of snapping alligators everyday, it may be time to decide this is the wrong zoo.

#7: You prefer to keep a low profile, just doing your job; when people look at you, it reminds you how many flaws you have

To be most effective, a good boss has to be visible. We all like to see our supervisor out there on the line alongside us. It makes us feel like we’re doing valuable things all day long. And we appreciate it when the leader can stand up and get things straightened out when they’re in chaos. If you don’t want to be scrutinized over your appearance, the way you talk, your hair, your management style, and your ability to keep things running smoothly in the heat of the day, perhaps you should consider staying in the comfortable cube you currently call yours.

#8: Having a verbal duel in a meeting isn’t your idea of fun and you feel uncomfortable standing up to communicate in a meeting

Ever notice how some people always have just the right response when someone says something to them? And how about those people who have no apparent fear of public speaking? You know who I mean; they always have just the right words and ideas on the spur of the moment. If you get anxious, choked up, turn red, or freeze when called on to participate in a debate or idea-generating forum; you may not want to get into a role that requires good communication ability in group settings.

#9: You dislike having to work hours beyond the “regular” schedule

Many people want a job they like, that pays fairly, and that has fixed and regular hours. In many companies, they are unlikely to find the last part if they choose to enter the management ranks. It’s a sad fact of life that for a lot of people, their hourly wage actually declines when they get promoted’to the job of manager. The nice raise they were given becomes less than expected when they start looking at the longer days on the job or even homework or weekend work.

#10: You could never fire someone because after all, everyone needs a job

I was once told by a manager at a software development firm that he found doing annual appraisals to be about as appealing as going in for dental surgery. He believed that his boss and the HR department always expected him to push his team to improve or else make changes. Like many organizations, his company was under the gun for productivity, and they wanted him to take some action to show that it wouldn’t allow poor performers to hang around. They told him that it was a bad signal to the real high performers if they saw people being allowed to stay employed while they didn’t deliver the goods. If this sounds like the kind of situation that could cause you to reach for that little bottle of purple pills, I suggest you don’t make the move into management just yet.
