Innovation - The Japanese Soap Factory Story

A Japanese soap factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the soap inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Customers who come all the way to the supermarket would end up buying someone else’s product. Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the soap factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution — on time, on budget, high quality ...

OOPS Concept explained by Steve Jobs

Would you explain, in simple terms, exactly what object-oriented software is?
Objects are like people. They’re living, breathing things that have knowledge inside them about how to do things and have memory inside them so they can remember things. And rather than interacting with them at a very low level, you interact with them at a very high level of abstraction, like we’re doing right here. Here’s an example: If I’m your laundry object, you can give me your dirty clothes and send me a message that says, “Can you get my clothes laundered, please.” I happen to know where the best laundry place in San Francisco is. And I speak English, and I have dollars in my pockets. So I go out and hail a taxicab and tell the driver to take me to this place in San Francisco. I go get your clothes laundered, I jump back in the cab, I get back here. I give you your clean clothes and say, “Here are your clean clothes.” You have no idea how I did that. You have no knowledge of the laundry place.  May...

The truth behind whitening lotions and creams

Let's face it -- the average Indian is obsessed with a fair complexion. Most dusky Indian beauties would give an arm and a leg to acquire pasty white skin, which we refer to as 'gora-chitta'. It's quite sad to see fresh, smooth-skinned (albeit dark) people ruin the texture and glow of their complexions by using every possible cream, lotion, soap, serum, face pack and what-have-you to become fair. The only ones benefiting from this craze are the fairness product companies who are laughing all the way to the bank. Don't get me wrong -- there are chemicals which work and there are ways to get rid of unwanted pigmentation, but you need to have the correct knowledge of what's good for you and what's not. Check out the ingredients on your fairness product package and read on to get the low-down on what works and what doesn't: 1.Hydroquinone: This is one of the most effective whitening compounds known today. However concentrations used matter immensely and in...
