Here’s a neat tool you can use for search statistics comparison. It’s called Google Trends . Type it your list of comparison and watch it wheel (with its usual mysterious methods) some fun search statistics.
Note however that the basis of comparison should be the first word, followed by your other subject. So for example if you [...]

Today during seminar, there was the usual discussion session. My class is made up of a spectrum of people, some wearing slippers and shorts to some wearing savvy ties and suits. However during discussion time, I noticed something weird. It wasn’t your usual suspects (business dressed people) who gave good insights, but the ones that were dressed lightly.
That, [...]

Here’s a list of IT related stuff that I find ridiculous:
Windows “Start”: In the new Windows Vista, the start button no longer has the word “start”, and this is good, because it certainly did not make sense to “shut down” the computer by first clicking “start”.

However the queue was something to behold: The line was about 15 persons long, made up by all kinds of characters (I personally knew some). But again, there they were, all lining [...]

Just like Alex Ferguson was advised to step down from manchester utd following its treble win (and his alternative which was to stay, followed by the many bloopers…), so too have I discovered when it comes to conversations.
In fact, this is really something I kept stumbling on that I thought should not be ignored. I [...]

Someone once said that wealth is not measured in terms of units, like dollars or goods. Wealth is a state of mind. Unfortunately many today measure their wealth in terms of how much money they have. Wealth myopia, a term I use to describe this state, is sad. It leads to an ideology based on consumerism, which [...]

Having served as a policeman for my national service, I can tell you first hand the reality that is power dressing.

We do it all the time. As you are reading this article, you have done a prioritization exercise, choosing to spend your quality time on this site on top of any other thing you could be doing now. While I am thankful for such a move, my question to you is what was your prioritization [...]

There seems to be a weird correlation between the type of music a society listens to and the nature of the society itself. I began to realise this upon thinking about the ones around me, and the type of music they listen to.
Whilst some might argue that it’s the society that makes the music and hence, no surprise [...]
