One word for it, refreshing.

Some businesses do care, and in a money-driven environment, its refreshing to see that a business can take time out and ‘be nice’ to their customers. A brilliant strategy for customer loyalty.

Well done Sainsbury’s!

Inspired by the power of 5, here are my new year resolutions for 2012:

2) Worry less, love more
3) Hold less, express more
4) Judge less, forgive more
5) Do less, be more

Such situations mean only one thing. Learning.

And where does it end? This war cannot be won with guns and tanks. This war can only be won by winning hearts and minds. You can kill one person, but you cannot irradiate a methodology.

I said a whopping 3.7 Trillion was spent on wars post 9/11. Where is this money going?

Top company profiteering from post 9/11 wars:

• Halliburton: According to MSN Money, Halliburton’s KBR, Inc. division bilked government agencies to the tune of $17.2 billion in Iraq war-related revenue from 2003-2006 alone. The then Vice President of America, Dick Cheney once head Halliburton. According to Cheney’s 2001 financial disclosure report, the vice president’s Halliburton benefits include three batches of stock options comprising 433,333 shares.

The word ‘great’ and ‘innovation’ are probably 2 of the most misused words in corporate world. But one person that truly symbolizes these two is Steve Jobs. Its not an end of an era, its end of ‘the’ era…

More than me being worried about Apple, I’m worried about where this leaves us, Tech enthusiasts.

Hands down, the most charismatic man i grew up following, Mr Jobs, you will be ‘i-Missed’.

The teaser displays people walking around with a device that glows. Looks like the announcement could be phone-related, because one of the actors puts the device up to his ear.

Teaser 1:

Which device do you guys think will be announced? Would you like to see an Ice Cream Sandwich device – aka Nexus Prime? Maybe a nice large 5.29-inch Super AMOLED Plus display? Maybe the 7-inch Honeycomb tablet.

Your guess is as good as mine!

For now, take a look at the teaser 2:

Speculation starts!
