Pivotal is a company's texture and culture. I wonder how many companies have robust and good ones in presence and in formation.

Better than three of the most famous electronics multinationals have been in red in their respective latest fiscal years, i.e. either 2011 or 2010. And they are Philips (HQ in Netherlands), Sony (HQ in Japan), Panasonic (HQ in Japan), and JVC Kenwood (HQ in Japan), to my incomplete knowledge.

The electronics industry has been a tough one to be in since the early 2000s, my impression tells me.

Uncontrolled and unmanaged, information overload is a major impediment to productivity.

To quit Facebooking and Twittering, after careful evaluation and consideration, can be the first step towards managing info. overload.

Personally, I've abandoned them around two years ago.
