8 Major Differences Between Successful People and Unsuccessful People

There is the most obvious difference between successful person and unsuccessful person. For instance we all have that friend who is forever complaining and never seems to get anything done properly and on the other side we probably have another friend too, one full of vitality and magically able to accomplish so much in very little time. The difference in habits and decisions of both kind of people give birth to the notion of how much either of them can achieve in life.

THEY VALUE RESPONSIBILITY:
You must have never seen a successful person complaining, because he owns up to his mistakes. Success has elements attached to it from hard work, determination and perseverance. They consider any task as their first priority and complete it with full responsibility and thus they have the capacity to face any consequences whereas unsuccessful people always find someone else to blame for their incompetence. Don’t be like the later one! have full responsibility of you deed and success will follow you in every aspect of life.



THEY ALL HAVE A GAME PLAN:
To keep themselves motivated, successful people set targets and goals for themselves. Both long-term and short-term goals are effective in setting the pace of their work. Successful people set realistic goals and are clear about where they want to go next. They have the perfect techniques t achieve what they want in life and at last they get it too.



THEY BELIEVE IN ACTIONS THAN TALKING:
“Sharing ideas with others will only make them better” Kerpen says. Instead of gossiping about people, which gets you nowhere, successful people discuss ideas. Talking about other people makes you more confuse and negative towards other people and you often forget what your real task is and somehow you get off track and do not achieve what you had initially set your heart to.

CHANGE DOESN’T BOTHER THEM:
“Embracing change is one of the hardest things a person can do” Kerpen says. With the world moving fast and technology accelerating at a rapid speed, it’s imperative that we embrace these changes and adapt, rather than fear, deny, or hide from them. Successful people are able to do just that. They are ready for anything that life gives the and they accept it with dignity and complete it with wisdom.

Toshiba NZ's profit up, revenue down as company sells off PC and medical businesses

Toshiba’s New Zealand business has produced an improved profit for the latest financial year, despite a slight decrease in sales revenue for the period.

The company, which now focuses on electronic imaging devices, has recorded total comprehensive income for the year ending 31 March 2017 of $2.0 million, up from $804,197 a year earlier.

Sales revenue for the 2016 financial year sat at $12.3 million, a slight decrease on the $12.8 million recorded a year earlier. The financials show a reduction in sales of goods, which accounted for $7.4 million in revenue (down from $8.1 million), but an increase in services revneue, which climbed from $4.7 million to $4.9 million.

However, other revenue and income bolstered the company’s coffers to the tune of $2.2 million – up signifincantly on the previous year’s $13,575.

That income included $1.8 million from the sale of its PC and medical businesses, and $466,406 from net foreign exchange gains.

The financial year saw the resturcutre of Toshiba’s medical business in June 2016, followed by the November 1 restructure of the PC business, both of which were reported as ‘discontinued operations’.

Sales of goods from the discontinued operations sat at $12.2 million while services revenue for the discontinued operations was $1.1 million.

The company gained $729,854 profit after tax from its discontinued operation, further bolstering its overall profit for the year.

Across the wider Toshiba Australia business – of which New Zealand is a part – the company logged profits of $22.3 million – a massive turnaround from last year’s loss of $23.1 million, on slightly decreased revenue of $140.1 million, down from $140.2 million.

On the revenue side, $16.4 million came from the sale of its PC business, with $23.7 million in revenue coming from the medical business sale.

Profit from discontinued operations of $695,000, again a massive jump from last year’s loss of $26.5 million.

Globally, Toshiba – which has business across multiple arenas including electronic devices, information technology and infrastructure and energy – has suffered ailing fortunes in recent times, with the overall company expecting a net loss of JPY950 billion for the last financial year.

The company has repeatedly delayed its global full-year financial report, with the latest postponement prompting the Tokyo Stock Exchange to automatically drop the company to the second rung of the exchange.

In March its US nuclear unit, Westingouse, went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy – a move which protects the business from its creditors as it restructures.

In February, Toshiba chairman Shigenori Shiga resigned

HBO got hacked and some Game of Thrones materials are bubbling up online

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, HBO confirms that it was the target of a hack, though the company doesn’t appear to be quite sure what the damage is yet.

So far, episodes of the HBO series Room 104 and Ballers have trickled out online. Though new episodes of its bloody centerpiece Game of Thrones have yet to surface, the leak reportedly contains writing suspected to be either a treatment or a script of an upcoming Game of Thrones episode, which is a big deal in its own right. HBO notified its employees of the breach Monday morning and hackers claim to have made off with 1.5 terabytes of HBO data, alluding that more leaks are on the way.

“As most of you have probably heard by now, there has been a cyber incident directed at the company which has resulted in some stolen proprietary information, including some of our programming,” HBO CEO Richard Plepler wrote in an email published by Entertainment Weekly. “Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us. I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests.”

Following the major Sony hack back in 2014, entertainment companies remain jittery about this sort of thing. Still, given the scale of production, level of secrecy and vast room for human error surrounding new film and TV releases, it’s a wonder that anything manages to premiere without first popping up online.

Anything and everything will get hacked and no one will survive from cyber threat.... 

Putin passes law that will ban VPNs in Russia

Russia has banned VPNs and other technology that allows users to gain anonymous access to websites.

The new law (link via Google Translate), signed today by President Vladimir Putin, goes into effect on Nov. 1 and represents another major blow to an open Internet. This weekend, news broke that Apple has removed most major VPN apps from the App Store in China to comply with regulations passed earlier this year that require VPN apps to be explicitly licensed by the Chinese government.

According to state-run news agency RIA(link via Google Translate), Leonid Levin, chairman of the Duma’s committee on information policy and technology, has said that the law is not targeted at “introducing new bans for law-abiding citizens.” Instead, he claims it is to prohibit access to illegal content. The scope of what is considered “illegal content” in Russia, however, has widened considerably during Putin’s third term as president, with the government exerting more control over what people access or post online. As Freedom House notes, “anti-extremism laws are widely used as a pretext to block political content, often without judicial oversight.”

Russia’s attempts to limit access to online information are concurrent with legislation that may put the privacy of users at risk. In 2015, the government passed legislation that requires all user data from Russian citizens to be stored in Russian-based servers, and last year it passed another law that requires telecoms and Internet service providers to retain traffic data for up to a year, a move that prompted VPN provider Private Internet Access to discontinue its Russian gateways.

Apple says it is removing VPN services from China App Store

In January, Beijing passed laws seeking to ban all VPNs that are not approved by state regulators. Approved VPNs must use state network infrastructure.


Apple Inc says it is removing virtual private network (VPN) services from its app store in China, drawing criticism from VPN service providers, who accuse the US tech giant of bowing to pressure from Beijing cyber regulators.
VPNs allow users to bypass China's so-called "Great Firewall" aimed at restricting access to overseas sites.

In January, Beijing passed laws seeking to ban all VPNs that are not approved by state regulators. Approved VPNs must use state network infrastructure.
In a statement on Sunday, an Apple spokeswoman confirmed it will remove apps that don't comply with the law from its China App Store, including services based outside the country.
Beijing has shut down dozens of China-based providers and it has been targeting overseas services as it bids to tighten its control over the internet, especially ahead of the Communist Party congress in August.

While personal VPN providers have been the subject of state-led attacks in the past, this marks the first time Apple has complied with requests to scrub overseas providers from its store, a move that VPN providers say is unnecessarily supportive of China's heightened censorship regime.
VPN provider ExpressVPN said on Saturday that it had received a notice from Apple that its software would be removed from the China App Store "because it includes content that is illegal in China".

"We're disappointed in this development, as it represents the most drastic measure the Chinese government has taken to block the use of VPNs to date, and we are troubled to see Apple aiding China's censorship efforts," ExpressVPN said in a statement.
Other major providers, including VyprVPN and StarVPN, confirmed they also received the notice on Saturday from Apple.
"We view access to Internet in China as a human rights issue and I would expect Apple to value human rights over profit," Sunday Yokubaitis, president of Golden Frog, which oversees VyprVPN told Reuters on Sunday.

Yokubaitis said Golden Frog will file an appeal to Apple over the ban.
China users with billing addresses in other countries will still be able to access VPN apps from other branches of the App Store. A number of VPN apps were still accessible on the China App store on Saturday.
Apple is in the middle of a localisation drive in China, and named a new managing director for the region - a new role - this month.
It is also establishing a data centre with a local partner in the southwestern province of Guizhou to comply with new Chinese cloud storage regulations.
VPN providers say that while the apps are not available on the store, users are still able to manually install them using VPN support built into Apple's operating system.
"We are extremely disappointed that Apple has bowed to pressure," said Yokubaitis. "(It's been a) disappointing morning but we will fight on."

Idea flags concerns about Jio's real designs, will soon launch own handset to counter Jio Phone

Idea Cellular has flagged net neutrality concerns about Reliance Jio's proposed 4G phones, saying it will only allow the apps of the operator's choice and that it will also launch a slightly expensive handset as a counter to it. 

"One of the concerns is about net neutrality. It will not allow most of the apps which a customer prefers and the choice of apps may not work because it is forcing consumers to use an individual operator's apps," Himanshu Kapania, the managing director of Idea Cellular Limited, the third largest telco operator, said in an analyst call. 

Kapania further said it remains to be seen as to how the proposed Jio phone, which does not have features like a smartphone, serves those wanting to browse the Internet. 

"While clearly it has an appeal for customers with voice usage, what appeal does it have for customers who have an Internet requirement, we will have to wait to see," he said. 

He said the Aditya Birla Group company, which is being merged with larger rival Vodafone, is working with handset makers to launch a phone that will be slightly expensive, but offer customers the freedom of choice. 

This new Handset will give all choices to customer, including to choose the operator of his/her choice, popular applications like Google, Facebook or Whatsapp, Kapania stressed. 

It can be noted that net neutrality is a very touchy subject when it comes to telecom services worldwide and had snowballed into a major controversy in the country last year. Later, social media giant Facebook had abandoned its plans of giving Internet to rural masses because of concerns on selectively offering the Internet. 

The telecom watchdog, Trai, has supported net neutrality and has undertaken a consultative process to define the same. 

Kapania said the company wants the new handset to come in at around Rs 2,500 apiece, but made it clear that Idea will not subsidise the phone. 

The Jio offering, unveiled before the Reliance share-holders' annual general meeting earlier this month, comes virtually free for a customer by paying a security deposit of Rs 1,500. The deposit will be refunded after three years of usage. 

The Mukesh Ambani-led company is offering unlimited voice and data to its customers with prices starting as low as Rs 153 per month. 

Kapania said the Jio phone comes with a new operating system, has a smaller screen-size and does not offer touchscreen, as against the prevalent smartphones where 97 per cent are on the Android operating system and have an over four-inch touchscreen. 

"We are looking at how much features can be brought down, how much bill of material can be brought down (to reduce prices) and test consumer response in each of these," he said, adding market research efforts will also go into understanding if they are fine using any other operating system. 

In the early 2000, after the then Reliance Infocomm launched an aggressive offering under the Reliance Mobile brand, the telcos had successfully worked with the handset makers to lower handsets prices and abate competitive fears. 

"Both the handset manufacturers and telecom operators need each other to make sure that the offering to the consumer is strong enough when you have to make a choice between a bundled offer and a telecom operator with a locked handset," Kapania said.

Facebook Adds Hardware, Software Vetting and 4K to 360 Live

Facebook on Tuesday announced several updates to its live-streaming platform, including a new hardware and software vetting program used to create 360-degree video.

Through its new Live 360 Ready Program, Facebook will review hardware and software and approve products that work well with its Live 360 offering. Products deemed "ready" for Live 360 will be allowed to display a Facebook Live logo on their packaging or website.

"Each camera's app or Web experience will enable you to interact with your friends and followers through direct access to Facebook's native reactions and comments," noted Facebook Product Manager Chetan Gupta and Product Marketing Manager Caitlin Ramrakha in an online post.

Facebook has approved 11 cameras and seven software suites so far.

Live 360 Ready cameras included Giroptic iO, Insta360 Nano, Insta360 Air, Insta360 Pro, ION360 U, Nokia Ozo, Z CAM S1, 360Fly HD, 360Fly 4K and 360Fly 4K Pro.

Live 360 Ready software packages included Assimilate SCRATCH VR, Groovy Gecko, LiveScale, Teradek, Voysys, Wowza and Z CAM WonderLive.

"The way we communicate is getting more and more visual, and live 360 video is the richest medium of all," said JK Liu, CEO of Insta360, maker of a Live 360 Ready camera.

"We're excited to bring Facebook users a way to go live in 360 that fits in seamlessly with the way they already use their phones," he told TechNewsWorld.

4K Added

Facebook also announced that Live 360 streams will support 4K resolution. What's more, it will be available in virtual reality.

"Live 360 broadcasts will be available to watch in VR -- both while they're happening and after they're over -- in our free Facebook 360 app for Gear VR, available on the Oculus Store," Gupta and Ramrakha wrote.

Resolution has been frustrating for some 360 video content providers on Facebook, said Chris Michaels, streaming industry evangelist at Wowza Media Systems, a Live 360 Ready software maker.

"One of the biggest challenges for content creators has been delivering in a high enough resolution to provide breathtaking 360 degree experiences," he told TechNewsWorld. "With 4K, we don't have to worry about rendering down high-quality video and can deliver it at its optimal design rate."

Facebook also will be adding donate buttons and scheduling to Live 360.

Donate buttons allow nonprofits to raise funds when they stream a Live 360 broadcast -- either their own or someone else's.

Scheduling allows Live 360 broadcasters to alert their friends and followers of an upcoming broadcast. The alert is posted to their news feeds, where they can choose to receive a reminder alert when the broadcast is about to start.

Post-Production Tools

Facebook announced a number of new post-production tools for Live 360 as well.

If it detects shakiness in a video, Facebook will use its stablization tool to steady it.

With the guide tool, a video author can identify points of interest in a video and direct viewers to them.

If you're wondering what parts of your video most engage your audience, there's a heatmap tool that shows you that.

Finally, there's a crossport tool for broadening the distribution of your video.

Content Play

The latest updates to Live 360 are a content play, said Ross Rubin, principal analyst at Reticle Research.

"It's about encouraging content and ensuring a level of compatibility and quality control over that content," he told TechNewsWorld.

The updates also are a way to help Facebook compete with YouTube.

"Being a video platform rival to YouTube has been a longstanding goal of Facebook," Rubin said.

The upgrades are aimed more at professional video and advanced content creators than mainstream users, noted Jack Kent, a senior analyst with IHS Markit.

However, they "should increase the amount of Live 360 content for Facebook users," he told TechNewsWorld.

Facebook has been expanding its 360 video and live video strategies rapidly in recent months, Kent pointed out.

"It rolled out Live 360 to all pages".

Microsoft Adds AI to HoloLens Silicon

The next version of Microsoft's HoloLens may be better at navigating reality than the current version of the mixed-reality headset, thanks to a new coprocessor the company announced Sunday.

The second version of HoloLens' custom multiprocessor -- called a "holographic processing unit," or HPU -- will incorporate artificial intelligence technology, Harry Shum, executive vice president of the Artificial Intelligence and Research Group, said at the annual CVPR computer vision event.

The new HPU will enable HoloLens to do the kind of deep learning processing that typically is done only in the cloud.

HoloLens is designed to be a self-contained holographic computer -- battery, sensors and display are contained in the headset. The HPU allows the headset to negotiate reality without experience-killing latency.

"Once you get the pattern algorithms straightened out, you want to run them locally because users can't deal with any information lag," said Jack E. Gold, principal analyst at J.Gold Associates.

"It's got to be local and instantaneous," he told TechNewsWorld. "Latency kills you in these mixed-reality applications."

Adding an AI coprocessor to HoloLens "is the kind of thinking you need if you're going to develop mixed reality devices that are themselves intelligent," noted Marc Pollefeys, director of science at HoloLens.

"Mixed reality and artificial intelligence represent the future of computing, and we're excited to be advancing this frontier," he added.

Beneficial Addition

HoloLens will benefit from the addition of AI silicon, according to Eric Abbruzzese, a senior analyst with ABI Research.

"Higher accuracy in head tracking and georegistering content -- locking digital content to the real world -- is the primary benefit, with the side effect of a platform gradually growing in capability," he told TechNewsWorld.

The additional silicon could boost performance and user safety, said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy.

"With a high performance AI chip, less processing needs to be done in the cloud, and therefore HoloLens could be faster, more secure and more private," he told TechNewsWorld.

That speed could have another benefit to the HoloLens ecosystem.

"It could lead to entirely new kinds and classes of [augmented reality] solutions for consumers and businesses," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT.

Trending Approach

Microsoft isn't alone in thinking that more processing has to be done at the endpoints of a network, especially in light of the projected growth of the Internet of Things.

"We're seeing people bringing artificial intelligence and machine learning to specific silicon at the endpoint," said Bob O'Donnell, chief analyst at Technalysis Research.

"We're seeing efforts to take real-time sensor input and apply algorithms to that without having to go to the cloud," he told TechNewsWorld. "Companies are increasingly realizing that to do cutting-edge products, they have to do their own silicon."

Microsoft and others are recognizing that when doing compute-intensive tasks at the network's edge, they should be done as close to the source of the data as possible, noted Mark Hung, a research vice president at Gartner.

"It makes for a better experience for the user and reduces latency and the costs of communication, and the burden on cloud services," he told TechNewsWorld.

"Microsoft is thinking long-term and saying let's do this now and get ahead of the curve," Gold added. "Everyone at the high end of the AR market is going to have to do something similar."

Impact on AR Market

The addition of AI silicon to HoloLens will help Microsoft maintain its leading position in the AR/MR market, noted Ian Hughes, an Internet of Things analyst at 451 Research.

"Adding to the next device's processing power with additional AI will keep the company at the forefront of AR development," he told TechNewsWorld.

Maintaining that leadership position is very important to Microsoft.

"That's a critical issue considering the fact that every major Microsoft competitor, including Apple and Google, are developing similar platforms in-house," Pund-IT's King told TechNewsWorld.

Beefing up HoloLens' AI chops could have a significant impact on the AR market, noted David MacQueen, executive director for apps and media at Strategy Analytics.

"I think having such a major player -- and a very serious player when it comes to the enterprise sector -- building in this technology will see it become more commonplace in the AR market," he told TechNewsWorld.

"It could push AR ahead of VR," said King, "in terms of market share and impact."

Jio Alleges Airtel's Pre-paid Works in Kashmir Despite Ban

Reliance Jio has alleged that Bharti Airtel is offering incoming calls on prepaid connections in Jammu and Kashmir despite government's order to suspend the services, a charge denied by the incumbent operator.

Reliance Jio has alleged that Bharti Airtel is offering incoming calls on prepaid connections in Jammu and Kashmir despite government's order to suspend the services, a charge denied by the incumbent operator.
Bharti Airtel, in turn, filed a counter complaint against Reliance Jio before the Department of Telecom alleging that the new entrant has continued mobile services by disguising prepaid connections as postpaid ones.
According to sources, in its compliance letter submitted before Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, on May 29, Jio alleged that Airtel has allowed incoming calls for prepaid subscriber in clear violation of the government order issued by IGP Kashmir.
The company has demanded "stringent action" against Airtel for non-compliance and violation of government order in the submission.

When contacted Airtel denied the charge and responded with counter-allegation that Jio has violated rules in the states by disguising pre-paid connections as post-paid ones to bypass the the order.
"These allegations are completely false, baseless and only go to highlight the growing frustration of Jio. We would urge Jio to gather all the facts and not resort to kite flying. Airtel has always been and will continue to be in full compliance of all regulations and guidelines," Airtel spokesperson said.

Airtel said that Just because it has raised the issue of Jio's blatant violation of regulations in Jammu & Kashmir by terming prepaid subscribers as postpaid, "thereby compromising national security, Jio is cooking up these false allegations to divert attention from the issue."
The incumbent operator said it would once again urge the authorities to take the strictest possible action against Jio for their complete disregard of the regulations.
A day after Reliance Jio made submission, Bharti Airtel too filed the complaint against the new entrant before the DoT alleging that Jio "in gross violation of the license conditions, claims 95 per cent of its subscriber base (approximately 7 Lakh customers) as postpaid, even though such subscribers are actually prepaid subscribers".

The incumbent operator alleged that Jio is "tactically and deliberately" tagging pre-paid customer as as postpaid "for its economic gain and competitive advantage, at the cost of national security and putting the lives of our security forces in danger."
Jio denied the allegations calling them "completely baseless, malicious and tantamount to wilful disparagement against RJIL", adding that the letter sent by Airtel to the DoT seems to be an act of retaliation, and nothing more.
"RJIL has always abided by the instructions issued by the local authorities... National security is of utmost importance to us, and we will always walk the extra mile to ensure that we are fully compliant and take requisite precautions in our services. We reject the instant complaint with the contempt it deserves," Jio said.

It added that Airtel's move is a clear demonstration of use of false propaganda when competitors are unable to compete in the market place.
A Reliance Jio spokesperson said: "It is worthwhile to also mention here that RJIL had escalated the issue of Airtel allowing incoming calls for their prepaid subscribers in the Kashmir valley despite written order on record from the Government of Jammu & Kashmir earlier this month to stop all prepaid services in the Kashmir Valley.

"This was a clear violation of Government Order completely disregarding security concerns of the Government." The new entrant said that it will be responding to the allegations in detail, factually and legally establishing its compliance with applicable regulations.
Besides it would independently examine and initiate appropriate legal recourse available to it as well.
