<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</span> the world’s largest social network site with more than <span style="font-weight: bold;">800 million active users </span>around the world and roughly 200 million in the United States or two-thirds of the population, as of December 2011. According to Inside Facebook, a leading source of news and analysis on Facebook’s global growth says, Facebook in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">U.S. has lost nearly 6 million users</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">falling from 155.2 million</span> at the start of <span style="font-weight: bold;">May 2011 to 149.4 million</span> at the end of it.<br />
This is the first time that Facebook has lost the U.S. users. Even Canada also fell significantly, by 1.52 million down, although it has been fluctuating around that number. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, Norway and Russia all posted losses of more than 100,000 users. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</span> has prepared most-expected public offering and it is eager to show off its thrust by building on its huge membership. But the company is still losing its users in U.S. Some people just refuse to participate and including people who have given it a try. <br />
A study from eMarketer has released expressing user’s dissatisfaction over recent changes in Facebook. Many of the users mention concerns about privacy settings, confusing changes to the newsfeed. The study also reveals that 42 percent of users will use Facebook less than what they used to do and with 17 percent claiming they are stopped Facebook outright. <br />
<br />
Inside <span style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</span> also said, it could be even mean people have secret account that they made to spy on someone and maybe it is government shutting down spy operations or something bot accounts getting deleted or fake accounts of famous celebrities account are being suspended. Despite the possible losses, Facebook is still growing with more than 800 million users, having reached 687 million monthly actives.<br />

Are social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook freezing our brains? Is the younger generation turning into slobbering nerd? Recently, Hollywood Actor Ralph Fiennes held social networking websites such as Twitter responsible for thudding down the English language. The social media debate over language skill is there to stay for some time now.<br />
<br />
The 48-year-old actor, best known as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, does not own a Twitter account, but he believes, "Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us."<br />
<br />
During the premier of Coriolanus, his directorial debut at London Film Festival, he gave words to his worries regarding the language used by today's youth. It looks like a side-effect of being a classically trained Shakespearean actor and turning out as a pretentious defender of the English language. Throughout his speech at the British Film Institute's London Film Festival, Fiennes lectured on the current state of the English language and how it's being wrecked. He thanked the social networking sites for making the students suffer at the drama school. "I hear it, too, from people at drama schools, who say the younger intake find the density of a Shakespeare text a challenge in a way that, perhaps, (students) a few generations ago maybe wouldn't have."<br />
<br />
It's not only Fiennes who advances on this theory. Recently JP Davidson, author of Planet Word, debated that longer words are no more favored as shorter. The text language is slowly turning into the real language; the standard words are now Twitterised abbreviations. He said, "You only have to look on Twitter to see evidence of the fact that a lot of English words that are used say in Shakespeare's plays or PG Wodehouse novels " both of them avid inventors of new words " are so little used that people don't even know what they mean now."<br />
<br />
Linguist Noam Chomsky in an interview with DC blog Brightest Young Things calls Twitter "very shallow communication". He says, "It requires a very brief, concise form of thought and so on that tends toward superficiality and draws people away from real serious communication. It is not a medium of a serious interchange."<br />
<br />
Language has always been subjective to changes, feel some critics. Text messaging and tweeting are only accelerating the pace of this change. Social media is just making these changes visible as they arise. We no more speak high polished English like hundred years ago; sometimes we slip back to slang instead of soliloquies. It?s unlikely to halt any changes or reverse them, and there?s nothing bad in changing. Some feel Twitter is not demolishing the English language, rather it's making it better. It only allows for 140 character musings, providing abbreviations that don't accurately chase usual spelling or grammar rules.<br />
<br />
It does not matter much if this type of communication doesn?t live up to English ideals. The New York Times's Ben Zimmer points out, "Social scientists can simply take advantage of Twitter?s stream to eavesdrop on a virtually limitless array of language in action.? Whether people approve or not, Twitter is happening and it's really not all that bad. Language evolves and Twitter is presently making it easier to pathway what's happening.<br />

Economic freedom is a very important term for any country to grow its economy and economic polices. Economic freedom of country emphasizes on free markets and easier trade policies to follow. It also means distributive justice and basic freedom to all individuals. Two thirds of the world's population's economic freedom is inhibited by bureaucracy, limited credit, and corruption.<br />
<br />
In the case of India, economic reforms were made in the early 1990s which led to India's current economic growth.<br />
<br />
There are several indices of economic freedom that attempt to measure free market economic freedom. Some empirical studies based on these rankings have found higher living standards, economic growth, income equality, less corruption and less political violence to be correlated with free markets. However, these results and their interpretation remain controversial.<br />
Further, an open market attracts more investment. All these factors add up to long-term economic growth. Protectionism in economic policies holds off development, while economic freedom leads to prosperity.<br />
<br />
Here is the list of the countries which enjoy the most economic freedom:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Hong Kong</span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
Hong Kong has remained as the world's freest economy, according to Index of Economic Freedom since the inception of the index in 1995. As one of the world's leading international financial centers, Hong Kong has a major capitalist service economy characterized by low taxation and free trade, and the currency, Hong Kong dollar, is the ninth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong's economic strengths, including a sound banking system, virtually no public debt, a strong legal system, ample foreign exchange reserves, rigorous anti-corruption measures and close ties with the mainland China, enable it to quickly respond to changing circumstances. Its economy size is slightly bigger than Israel and Czech Republic and its GDP per capita at purchasing power parity is the 7th highest globally, more than Switzerland and Netherlands and slightly lower than the United States. Hong Kong has also had an abundant supply of labor from the region nearby. A skilled labor force coupled with the adoption of modern British/Western business methods and technology ensured that opportunities for external trade, investment, and recruitment were maximized.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Singapore: </span><br />
Singapore remains the second freest economy in the world but ranks first in labor freedom in the 2010 Index of Economic Freedom. Singapore was ranked the second least corrupt country in the world, with a score of 92 out of 100. Flexibility and openness have been the foundation of Singapore's transformation into one of the most competitive and prosperous economies in the world. An efficient regulatory environment encourages vibrant entrepreneurial activity. Singapore's very competitive tax regime and highly flexible labor market encourage investment, attracting global companies and enhancing innovation. Foreign and domestic investors are treated equally, and Singapore's legal system is efficient and highly protective of private property.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">3. New Zealand: </span><br />
New Zealand has an impressive record of economic freedom and benefits from its openness to global trade and investment. The 2011 World Bank 'Doing Business' report ranked New Zealand third in the world for ease of doing business, first for ease of starting a business and first in the world for protecting investors. The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal, ranked New Zealand as the fourth freest economy in the world and as number one for business freedom. New Zealand has a very simple taxation system, with no capital gains tax and no payroll taxes. New Zealand went up 0.2 on last year's score with 99.9 for business freedom, 86.6 for trade freedom, 64.7 for fiscal freedom, 49.3 for Government spending, 84.8 for monetary freedom, 80.0 for investment freedom, 80.0 financial freedom, 95.0 for property rights, 94.0 for freedom from corruption and 89.2 for labor freedom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Switzerland: </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Switzerland ranked as the European country with the highest degree of economic freedom. Switzerland is ranked 1st out of 43 countries in the Europe region, and its overall score is much higher than the world average. Switzerland's openness to foreign trade and investment continues to provide real stimulus for a dynamic and resilient economy. A sound regulatory environment and minimal barriers to trade have contributed to the country's status as one of the world's most competitive and innovative economies. Macroeconomic stability and a highly developed and competitive financial sector reinforce Switzerland's position as a global financial hub. Switzerland, one of the world's richest and most investment-friendly destinations. Well-secured property rights, including for intellectual property, promote entrepreneurship and productivity growth. Flexible labor regulations and the absence of corruption also sustain vibrant entrepreneurship.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Australia:</span><br />
<br />
While many large advanced economies have emerged from the recent economic downturn with growing debt burdens, Australia's gross public debt stands at less than 25 percent of GDP. With robust supervision and sound regulation, the banking system has coped well with the financial turmoil, and the government's budget deficit is much lower than those of other major economies. Australia's modern and competitive economy performs well on many of the 10 economic freedoms. The country has a strong tradition of openness to global trade and investment, and transparent and efficient regulations are applied evenly in most cases. An independent judiciary protects property rights, and the level of corruption is quite low. Australia is one of the Asia Pacific's richest countries. With a population of about 22 million and a land mass of 3 million square miles, it is one of the world's least densely populated countries and one of the most urbanized, with most of the population concentrated in coastal cities.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Canada: </span><br />
<br />
Canada is ranked 1st out of three countries in the North America region. The Canadian economy continues to sharpen its long-term competitiveness. Scoring high in many of the 10 economic freedoms, Canada performs particularly well in business freedom, financial freedom, property rights, and freedom from corruption. Straightforward regulations and the competitive tax regime facilitate entrepreneurial activity and lure dynamic investment. The corporate tax rate is scheduled to decline further to 15 percent in 2012. Canada's strong and stable democratic political system is currently led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a conservative minority government. With rich natural resources and strong manufacturing and high-technology sectors, it is one of the world's leading free-market economies and a major exporter of oil, minerals, automobiles, manufactured goods, and forest products. Nearly 75 percent of its exports are to the United States.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Chile:</span><br />
<br />
The Chilean economy has demonstrated great resilience in coping with the global economic downturn and the February 2010 earthquake. With openness to global trade and investment firmly established, economic recovery has resumed at a steady pace, and the earthquake caused only a transitory dip in Chile's healthy economic growth. Chile's dynamic economy has long reflected a solid commitment to economic freedom. Chile has pursued free trade agreements with countries around the world. The financial system remains stable, and prudent regulations allowed banks to withstand the global financial turmoil with little disruption. Other institutional strengths include sound public finance management and strong protection of property rights. There is room for improvement in business and labor freedom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">8. United Kingdom:</span><br />
<br />
A dramatic expansion of government intervention has taken place in the U.K. in response to the global financial and economic crisis. The government has nationalized or seized ownership positions in some of the major banks. Public finance has deteriorated markedly. Newly elected Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government has unveiled a series of major austerity measures designed to stem the loss of economic freedom. Proposed spending cuts are an encouraging first step toward reforming the bloated public sector and the costly welfare system, but policies conducive to private-sector investment will be critical to reviving vibrant economic expansion and job creation.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">9. Mauritius:</span><br />
<br />
Mauritius is ranked 1st out of 46 countries in the Sub-Saharan African region, and its overall score is well above the world average.Mauritius is a regional leader in economic freedom. Efficient and transparent regulations underpin its status as one of the world's 20 freest economies and support broad-based economic development. Competitive tax rates and relatively flexible labor regulations promote innovative private-sector growth. While privatization of state-owned monopolies has stalled, the state does not play an overwhelming role in the economy, minimizing the drag on dynamic business activity. Corruption, the bane of many other countries in the region, is relatively low. Public financial management is generally sound. Public debt, at 60 percent of GDP, is nearly all held by the National Pensions Fund and commercial banks.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">10. United States:</span><br />
<br />
The U.S. economy faces enormous challenges. The government's recent spending spree has led to fragile business confidence and crushing public debt. Interventionist responses to the economic slowdown have eroded economic freedom and long-term competitiveness. Drastic legislative changes in health care and financial regulations have retarded job creation and injected substantial uncertainty into business investment planning. Ongoing regulatory changes, coupled with fading confidence in the direction of government policies, discourage entrepreneurship and dynamic investment within the private sector. The U.S. economy is the world's largest. While services account for more than 70 percent of economic activity, the U.S. remains the world's largest producer of manufactured goods.<br />

You can find various definitions for Poincare Conjecture on different websites. For example, according to Wikipedia "In mathematics, the Poincare conjecture (French, ) is a theorem about the characterization of the three-dimensional sphere among three-dimensional manifolds."<br /><br />Poincare conjecture has been one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems and above all, this is the first ever and only Millennium Prize Problem that has been solved. The Poincare Conjecture states that if a compact 3-D manifold has no boundary and is simply connected, then it is said to be homeomorphic to a 3-D sphere. This conjecture is believed to have been formulated in 1904 by Henri Poincare, a French mathematician, as an elemental for achieving a perceptive of three dimensional shapes, 3-D sphere being the simplest one.<br /><br />This conjecture was recently provided with a breakthrough proof by numerous new elements introduced by Perelman. He gained complete perceptive of singularity formation in Ricci flow, in addition to the manner of collapsing of the parts of a shape onto lower-dimensional spaces. He solved the problem by introducing entropy as a new quantity. This entropy measures the disorder in the space's global geometry instead of measuring the disarray at the atomic level. Besides, he also pioneered a related local quantity, the L-functional, which was used that proved that the time between the configuration of singularities could not become smaller and smaller.<br /><br />Perelman has enriched mathematics by deploy his new ideas and methods with utmost technicalities and describing the obtained results with elegant succinctness.<br /><br />The interesting fact is that Grigory Perelman declined the prize of one million dollars which comes with the Fields medal which is equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematics. Perelman is currently unemployed living with his mom in a small apartment near St. Petersburg. Interfax, a Russian news agency, quoted him as saying. "To put it short," he said, "the main reason is my disagreement with the organized mathematical community. I don't like their decisions; I consider them unjust."<br /><br /><br />source:interestingfacts.orgDainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015417180652589150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430922757121868528.post-25261644918448203252011-09-11T04:39:00.001-07:002011-11-02T23:01:27.572-07:00About SkypeSkype is a medium of voice communication which can be used with the aid of the Internet. Skype has been designed based on the Kazaa file sharing program. The headquarters of Skype is in Luxembourg and France. It also has offices in many other parts of Europe, Asia as well as the United States of America. In October 2005, Skype was taken over by eBay.<br /><br />There are two main kinds of machines which will be used as a part of the Skype network. One is known as the ordinary host or the Skype client while the other is the super node or SN. Any normal person who is making use of Skype will be considered as an ordinary host which has been connected to the super node. These super nodes are the names which have been given to the various servers of Skype which can be found in many different parts of the world. However the Skype client should also be aware of the server to which the connection needs to be established.<br /><br />Every Skype client will have a table which will contain the IP addresses and port numbers of all the super nodes which are available. This is also known as the host cache and it will be found in the windows registry of the Skype client. Every time, a user logs into Skype from his computer, the data from the host cache will be read first and the first IP port will be selected. Then the Skype client will connect to that super node.<br /><br />It is not possible to conduct a trace of a Skype client very easily. However if a policeman or a law enforcement officer has managed to obtain a court order then the people working at Skype will be forced to reveal details which can be obtained from their logs starting from the name and address of the user to the time at which the call has been made.<br /><br />A lot of people decide to make use of vouchers in order to make Skype payments. But some people will provide a false name and address when they are making these voucher payments on Skype. But these false names and addresses will definitely appear on the Skype logs. It is also possible for law enforcement people to obtain a court order and ask the Internet service provider to provide the name and address of the specific person who is being investigated. It is not possible to trace a Skype user who has provided a false name and address in order to create a Skype id and paid using a voucher. He/she can make a Skype call from an Internet cafe which has the facility of Wi-Fi.<br /><br />There is no method of tracing the original user of the Skype id when the call has been made in this manner. More than one billion people have downloaded Skype onto their computers during the year 2008 and now Skype has become one of the most popular software applications which is being used by people all over the world.<br /><br />source: interestingfacts.orgDainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015417180652589150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430922757121868528.post-63306730348667739442011-09-11T04:35:00.000-07:002011-11-02T23:05:17.346-07:00Interesting Updates About Technology<ul class="block"><br /><li>1.

<div style="text-align: center;">
An <span style="font-weight: bold;">Indian man</span> walks into the New York City bank and asks for the loan officer.<br />
<br />
He tells the Loan Officer that he was going to India for some business for 2 weeks and needs to borrow <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">$5,000</span>.<br />
<br />
The Loan Officer tells him that the bank will need<br />
Some form of security for the loan.<br />
<br />
So the Indian man hands over the keys and the documents of the new Ferrari car parked on the street in front of the bank.<br />
The loan officer consults the president of the bank,<br />
Produces all the required items and everything check out to be OK.<br />
<br />
The loan officer agrees to accept the car as a security for the loan.<br />
<br />
The bank president and the Loan Officer had a good laugh at the Indian<br />
For keeping a <span style="font-weight: bold;">$750,000</span> Ferrari as a security and taking only <span style="font-weight: bold;">$5,000</span> has a loan.<br />
<br />
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari<br />
Into the banks underground garage and parks it there.<br />
<br />
Two weeks later the Indian returns and pays <span style="font-weight: bold;">$5000</span> and the interest which comes to it <span style="font-weight: bold;">$15.41</span>.<br />
<br />
Seeing this, loan officer says,<br />
<br />
“Sir, we are very happy to have your business<br />
And this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.<br />
While you are away, we checked you out and<br />
Found out that you were a multi millionaire.<br />
<br />
What puzzled us was why would you bother to borrow <span style="font-weight: bold;">$5000?</span>”<br />
<br />
The Indian replies<br />
"Where else in the New York City can I park my car for <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">2</span> weeks and<br />
For only <span style="font-weight: bold;">$15.41</span> and expect it to be there when I return".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">This is a true incident and the</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Indian is none other than</span><br />
<br />
<br />

This is the most horrifying and disgusting thing i have ever seen in my life. “The Baby Soup is called in the local jargon ‘Spare Rib Soup’ and is not available on a daily basis. The reporter who originally wrote the article in Chinese said that he had to wait a couple of weeks until a baby was available. A couple who had two daughters already had a third pregnancy which they aborted when they found out at 5 months it was again a girl. So they contacted the restaurant and sold their aborted daughter. Babies which are close to term (i.e. 9 months) cost 2,000 yuan (about US$ 290) The ones that are aborted earlier only cost a few hundred yuan (100 yuan is US 14.50) Just buying the placenta alone also costs a couple of hundred yuan (about US$ 30)<br /><br /><br />Shocking news circulated in China. A town in Canton is now on trend taking baby herbal soup to increase health and sexual performance/stamina. The cost in China currency = approx $ 4000. A factory manager was interviewed and he testified that it is effective because he is a frequent customer. It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for 8 hours boiling/steaming. He pointed to his second wife next to him, who is 19 (he is 62), and testified that they have sex everyday.<br /><br />Warning: More photos are extremely disturbing and horrifying.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTQIfhMRI/AAAAAAAABDw/MDwQ6lEH8Lc/s1600/Boiled-Baby-Soup-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563092607587922194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 260px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTQIfhMRI/AAAAAAAABDw/MDwQ6lEH8Lc/s400/Boiled-Baby-Soup-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTalISHpI/AAAAAAAABD4/2oEvMZRBm0I/s1600/Chinese-Baby-Soup-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563092787073785490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTalISHpI/AAAAAAAABD4/2oEvMZRBm0I/s400/Chinese-Baby-Soup-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTgvrRSiI/AAAAAAAABEA/C0_T6nQRKGM/s1600/Chinese-Food-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563092892984101410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 252px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTgvrRSiI/AAAAAAAABEA/C0_T6nQRKGM/s400/Chinese-Food-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTr4AokfI/AAAAAAAABEI/gttmmd7afIo/s1600/Chinese-Soup-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563093084199752178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTr4AokfI/AAAAAAAABEI/gttmmd7afIo/s400/Chinese-Soup-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTzlfxVBI/AAAAAAAABEQ/1OZi5ouFKh4/s1600/Weird-Chinese-Food-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563093216669029394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 257px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQTzlfxVBI/AAAAAAAABEQ/1OZi5ouFKh4/s400/Weird-Chinese-Food-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQT55xy87I/AAAAAAAABEY/OLN-7qoRR-M/s1600/Spare-Rib-Soup-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563093325192557490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OdARz4ggPls/TTQT55xy87I/AAAAAAAABEY/OLN-7qoRR-M/s400/Spare-Rib-Soup-.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Source: thewondrous.comDainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02015417180652589150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430922757121868528.post-73090263323559645922011-01-11T00:07:00.000-08:002011-01-11T00:13:49.283-08:00Top 10 Things to Never Say to Your BossIn your career, you will inevitably end up saying some dumb or regrettable things to your boss. We all do it to varying degrees at one time or another. The following list of such things is by no means exhaustive, but if you can avoid saying them, you will be doing yourself, your professional persona and your boss a tremendous service.<br />So, keep these top 10 things to never say to your boss in mind the next time you’re chatting him up by the watercooler<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.10 “Impossible – that can’t be done.”</span><br /><br />This is the kind of shortsighted thinking no boss wants to hear about. It suggests both indifference and a lack of effort. Unless you follow it up with a solution or an alternative, it’s neither proactive nor even helpful to say such a thing.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.9 “This is the best they could do, huh?”</span></span><br /><br />Whether said in response to new office phones, computers or the banquet hall at a family-style restaurant rented for a Christmas party, this is one of those smart-ass comments that indicates to your boss and to others that you have a deluded sense of entitlement. It also belittles the efforts someone — possibly your boss or even his boss — has made.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.8 “That’s not my problem.”</span><br /></span><br />Be that as it may, this presupposes the existence of a problem and, more than likely, a frustrated boss or coworker in need of some assistance. At the very least, your boss is looking for someone to take responsibility of the solution to this problem — even if it wasn’t yours to begin with. That means he already knows it’s not your problem, so you can spare him the reminder.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.7 “That isn’t in my job description.”</span></span><br /><br />In one of the many great courtroom scenes in A Few Good Men, Tom Cruise asks a witness to point out where in the U.S. Marines manual the mess hall is indicated. Naturally it isn’t in there. The point is, a lot of things aren’t detailed in your job description, including e-mailing your friends from work or surfing the web, but you probably do those things anyways, right? So when the boss asks you to do something a little out of the ordinary, don’t take offense, and never say to your boss that it’s not in your job description to do it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.6 “Does it really matter if I get this finished?”</span><br /><br />A strictly educational environment might promote the idea that there is no such thing as a dumb question, but this isn’t true at the office. To know the difference a good question to ask yourself is: “Will this question waste someone’s time?” No boss wants you to spend an hour doing a project incorrectly, but asking about the relevance of a project is time-wasting and insulting to both of you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.5 “That’s a no-brainer.”</span><br /><br />As a tired cliché, this statement is offensive enough; however, delivered with just the right patronizing tone, it becomes an insult. Your boss doesn’t hear “no-brainer” as much as he hears, “The answer is obvious — how dumb are you?”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.4 “We should totally hook up on Facebook.”</span><br /><br />No, you shouldn’t. Ever. Your boss knows this and he might be a little disappointed that you don’t. Extending a request like this puts him in an uncomfortable position. He may be too nice to say no, or foolish enough to say yes. Either way, social interactions with your boss should, almost without question, be discouraged. We don’t mean you can’t mingle with him at office parties, but try not to plan weekend getaways with him and his family anytime soon.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">No.3 “I got so trashed last night…”</span><br /><br />You might just be jawing over the prior evening, but to your boss this could be a hint that you plan to be especially unproductive that day. It might also inform him that you have difficulty keeping your work and private lives separate and that you don’t have much discretion at all.
