US weekly magazine BusinessWeek teamed up with The Boston Consulting Group to produce the second annual ranking of the world’s 100 most innovative companies. More than 1,000 senior managers responded to the global survey, making it the deepest management survey to date on this critical issue.

The BusinessWeek-BCG survey also focuses on the major obstacles to innovation that executives face today. While 72% of the senior executives in the survey named innovation as one of their top three priorities, almost half said they were dissatisfied with the returns on their investments in that area.

A lack of coordination is the second-biggest barrier to innovation, according to the survey’s findings. But collaboration requires much more than paying lip service to breaking down silos. The best innovators reroute reporting lines and create physical spaces for collaboration. They team up people from across the org chart and link rewards to innovation. Innovative companies build innovation cultures. “You have to be willing to get down into the plumbing of the organization and align the nervous system of the company,” says James P. Andrew, who heads the innovation practice at BCG

ALBERT EINSTEIN’S RIDDLE

ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don’t give up.

0 In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
1. In each house lives a person of different nationality
2. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE Q: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

0 The Brit lives in a red house.
1. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
2. The Dane drinks tea.
3. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
4. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
5. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
6. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
7. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
8. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
11. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
12. The German smokes Prince.
13. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
14. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

Oho…then I should have a try on this brain**ck.

Hey…people do ya wanna try this out by yourself… go ahead, really impressive when
ya see yourself on the 2% and I did it.

….and for the 98%; here is the methodology I have taken.

0. I took a piece of paper and a pencil.
then I did mark a heading nation drink color pet fag later I know it’s a wrong move when I read The man living in the center house drinks milk.

so as easy I jot down…

1 2 3 4 5
nation

drink

color

pet

fag

1. Here the drink-3 is milk.
2. Next green/white house ?
The green house is on the left of the white house.
so 1 is not white and 5 is not green (this was my first flash)

The Norwegian lives in the first house.The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
but ya still need the…

3/4 may be green
4/5 mabe white

Ahahaa…it says 4 is a sure shot for either green/white.

The green house’s owner drinks coffee.
we got 3 is milk… so 5 is white I mean 4 is green.

3. and now yellow/red.

The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The Brit lives in the red house.

Would ya like to have a try by yourself…or are ya trying it out with me….? Yokay !

So what ya have now….. all colors, two drinks and two nations…eha..?
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill so who has gotta Horce …?

Lets ask for a drink and another drag…

4. The Dane drinks tea. so may be in either 2 or 5 (because
1-norwy, 3-brit, 4-coffee) The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer, and this too may be in either 2/5 (because 1-dunhill, 3-milk, 4-coffee)

what ya have got…Tea or Beer? Yes “Water” for 1 (really a good twist and I gotta the pace) and Blends for 2 (The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water) then I got only 5 to fit for “The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer” and now Germen for 2 who smokes Prince and Pall Mall is for Brit. kewl…the riddle is getting breeze. Are ya with me…hmmm

5. The hint, The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds helps for the NO-3

6. The Swede keeps dogs as pets; this is for number 5 (so the numbers 3&5 is out of the game and the NO: 2 too ) Hope ya getting me…?

7. NOw, do ya really need a thought between 1 and 4?
I should say ” The germen who drinks coffee, smokes prince and live in a green house owns THE FISH” (The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats)

Did I help you….to FISH your brain…? or you can refer here or here (I dont know what they are saying ! ) and I’m concluding… FISH YA… GERMEN NUT…!

Well… I dont want to put any joke on my side, but I guess this is a good one and will - -help ya to think.

Yokay… whats ya hair color?

…i’ve to look back when i heard a gong! i could only see a huge cobweb and its shining, just got wonder, whats the time it was…

I am confused; the name sounds innocent but what’s wrong with this month? I don’t mind its inconsistency…I think this preborn shortY should come as the last child of the year instead of lovely December… I just like the months December and January except its cold… I guess I am loosing the sunlight…so I am walking back.

Well…. I was choked for two days and I couldn’t go anywhere…and exactly one year before on the same month I was hospitalized for the similar kind of symptoms what I am up to now. I am happy this time because I am getting Kanji (I don’t want to give much explanation for Kanji, In short I say “Rice Soupâ€?) and Pickle too. I am not going to hospital so any medicine :)

Last year…Uff…here in a hospital, I asked her “Sister…? Today, I would like to have Kanji for my dinner and can you just arrange it for me.â€? She is from my State and replied “Oh Vipin, I don’t think that I could find it and no Kerala hotels out hereâ€? …good smiles!

I said…Okay, but….

In an hour, I was pretty happy with my dinner…She came with a bowl of hot Kanji and lemon pickle….

Later I came to know (she told me), she made it with a portion of her own dinner (well cooked rice) and served to me.

Has she done her blessed job? I forget her name but never the smile.

I am not a coder, just for giggles I found “The Evolution of a Programmer.� The Darwin of this code is here.

A: This is cracking. Go away, idiot.

esr [ Eric Steven Raymond ]
….if you had watch the movie, “Revolution OS” probably no chance to forget his facial expression when he narrates about the incident happened inside a lift
(mnky..mnky)…I’ll be your worst nightmare…

That was my first time I came across to know about him in a Linux meet where they played the movie and later on I have read some of his essays from The C&B [ The Cathedral and the Bazaar ] and its worth.

Over the surf…I found many interested things…some stuffs I have packed…and others get vanished… Here I found a speculation to know yourself [ …thats what we all trying to get through in our life…(winks) ] So I gave a try to know the output; never gonna go for a second try….

You Are Lightning

Beautiful yet dangerous People will stop and watch you when you appear Even though you’re capable of random violence You are best known for: your power Your dominant state: performing

You are an Atheist

When it comes to religion, you’re a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what’s known and proven. You don’t need religion to solve life’s problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy.

Your Love Element Is Water

In love, you connect deeply and commit totally. For you, love is all about taking risks and moving into unknown territory. You attract others with courage and confidence. Your flirting style is defined by your flexibility and ability to adapt. Nurturing and shared learning are the cornerstones of your love life. And while you may jump in to love too quickly, you always come out the wiser for it. You connect best with: Metal Avoid: Earth You And another Water element: will pull each other down into a dark place

when I started writing this post; I couldn’t find a proper title…Yokay, whenever I write/mention the word “good” in my blog… I think what is good…? Oh..opposite to bad…eha..?? …then what is that opposite means…??

I dont know when I had a thought about this…then I concluded there is nothing good or bad…its just a feeling…may be an imaginary hunch. Its all depends on you, me and the one who deals with it….Is that Taoism…. I guess Taoism says about the good and evil, the black and white side of the life and its balance. If you say/feel something is good, possibly ya are making its contrary part too…there is no Bad, if there is no Good…well… I don’t want to get into that, but I would say… just level up the thoughts with having controll over the mind…because…
“The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it.”
- Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
that sounds … …eha…??
