It’s vital to recognize that culture does matter – efficiency loss (useful here as a ratio between motion and action) is present in all systems, but it should be one goal of a culture to minimize it. - Vince Maniago

Instead of using coupon codes, encode offers in special links embedded in your email newsletters and automatically transfer the coupon to the user's shopping cart. This has two benefits: * The computer carries the burden of remembering the obscure code and applying it at the correct time. * It eliminates the "enter coupon code" field, which scares away shoppers who don't have coupons (and who refuse to pay full price when the checkout flow blatantly signals that other users are getting a better deal). - Vince Maniago

Very interesting. - Vince Maniago

Great tips here, a lot of us think about making the page load in two seconds and never ask the user to remember more than 5 things. - Vince Maniago

Meanwhile, Google is trying to forge closer relationships with small businesses by launching a “Favorite Places on Google” program. Instead of employing user-generated reviews like most companies might, Google is counting how many times people search for a business, look up directions to it, or click through to its web site. Some 150,000 chosen businesses (which must already have joined Google’s Local Business Center) have been mailed a “We’re a favorite place on Google” decal with a unique bar code to put in their store windows. Potential customers walking by the store can scan the bar code with their phones (for instance, using Android’s bar code scanner or the QuickMark app for the iPhone — which usually costs 99 cents but will be free to the first 40,000 phones that download it starting Monday) and bring up the business’ Google page. - Vince Maniago

did anyone else see the bacon burger at this joint? that's a bacon patty, wow. - Vince Maniago

Yes finally, and if the stock doesn't go up Monday I'm going to sell and invest in a new kitchen which I think will yield tastier results if not higher revenues. - Vince Maniago

Eureqa is a software tool for detecting equations and hidden mathematical relationships in your data. Its primary goal is to identify the simplest mathematical formulas which could describe the underlying mechanisms that produced the data. Eureqa is free to download and use. Below you will find the program download, video tutorial, user forum, and other and reference materials. WOW! that's probably the coolest thing I've seen today. - Vince Maniago

"Here's a little news flash for your Department of Media: Superman's parents chose life and he was adopted in small-town USA by real Americans who run our factories, harvest our meat-bearing animals, and wave Old Glory down at the courthouse and the churches, not in Washington D.C. by cynical power-brokers and liberal scientists." - Vince Maniago

Actuaries evaluate the likelihood of events and quantify the contingent outcomes in order to minimize losses, both emotional and financial, associated with uncertain undesirable events. Since many events, such as death, cannot be avoided, it is helpful to take measures to minimize their financial impact when they occur. These risks can affect both sides of the balance sheet, and require asset management, liability management, and valuation skills. Analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior and the vagaries of information systems are required to design and manage programs that control risk (Be An Actuary 2005). - Vince Maniago
