Why the iPad will fail and help Windows 7 to succeed

Yesterday Apple finally launched its much hyped iPad to the world, presumably avoiding the rumoured name iSlate after realising how much of gift it would have been to journalists.  Apple products do tend to create a huge amount of anticipation and good will but on this occasion it’s, if you read around the internet, a case of OOH! OOH! OOH! oh!
So why will the iPad fail and what’s this rubbish I’m pedalling about it helping sales of Windows 7?  This is simple.  Quite simply this time Apple have got it wrong.  All the tech press is saying the same thing and comments made by readers of those websites are echoing, mostly anyway, their sentiments.
The iPad is nothing more than a large iPod Touch.  It’s lacking a 16:9 screen and while the bezel has to be of a reasonable size to allow for holding the device with your hand without your thumb poking the screen all the time, it’s simply too big.  Finally those few people who’ve already used it are saying that having a standard keyboard on a device that you can’t rest easily on your lap and that is intended to be used one-handed is lunacy.  Just look at the curved corner keyboards Microsoft introduced with the tablet editions of Windows to see how they should have done it.
If all of this isn’t enough to cause the iPad to fail then the price will certainly put everybody else off.  With a starting price tag of $500 it’s simply too expensive, twice the price of a better specification netbook and the same price as significantly better laptops.  At this price it’s unique selling points of multi-touch and… erm… whatever the others are, are simply not enough to win hearts and minds.
However…

For one reason or another, and I have no idea why this turned out to be such a coincidence, certain other companies such as MSI and Dell chose today to release details of their own forthcoming tablet devices, and both look gorgeous, especially the Dell (pictured).
These devices are similarly specified to the iPad and run everything from Windows 7 to Google Android, but the big difference will be in the price.  They will all undercut Apple considerably and provide tablets for the price of a netbook, the price they should be.
This is excellent news FOR Windows 7.  Firstly this new type of device, obviously based on something that’s been around since 2002 but we’ll skip lightly over that one, is a very interesting form-factor that, now popularised will enable just about everybody to produce a clone tablet.
This will help sales of Windows 7 because of its multi-touch facilities and, in turn, should tempt a very many XP and Vista laptop owners to upgrade to a tablet.  Let’s face it there are thousands of people who, if a device such as this had been available five years ago, would never have bought a full laptop.
The knock-on repercussions for all this will be enormous.  It will help people move away from the troublesome Internet Explorer 6, help boost the hardware industries of the world as we move out of recession.  It’ll create jobs and wealth and so much more.
All this will have come about because Apple have done the R&D and released a product that’s been instantly derided as ugly and not what people want.  If I were Steve Ballmer today, I’d be splashing out on an extra skiing holiday.

Microsoft’s Answer the Metro Criticism: Well, We’ll just see about that

Well, We’ll just see about that. What?
When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in the late 90’s, Apple was in dire straits. So he decided to do things his way, and the “….” with everyone else. I’m sure that when his vision started to make it out to Apple, and to the various departments like the computer, the mobile phone, and the departments of other revolutionary devices, people at Apple said, “What? That’s not going to work…Why can’t we be more like Microsoft, or like …, or like …?” But Steve Jobs reply, out loud or silently must have been something like, “Well, We’ll just see about that.”
And sure enough, he took a company, on the verge of financial collapse, to become the number one business enterprise in the World.

Will Metro Work?
So on the Microsoft side, people may have been saying “Why couldn’t we be more like Apple, or like …, or like ….?” There’s been a grumbling that with all the smart people working at Microsoft, they are Number 2, 3, or 4 in innovation. Things had to change. So Microsoft offers Metro. but there is talk that the new Windows 8 Metro interface is going to bomb. In an article in Zdnet, the writer points out that there are serious deficiencies in handling Metro. And because of that, Metro will not be the driver for success that Microsoft hopes it to be. Is this another Vista?
Microsoft’s Vision
For a company that is the largest IT Company in the world, dominating in Operating systems, and office productivity tools, you would think that they would be satisfied. But they’re not. Think IBM. Microsoft does not want to sit back and be complacent. Because, in the IT world complacency does not work.

That is one reason they have put in so much effort into the Windows 8 phone, and the Azure Cloud. They are trying hard to stay on top of the market. In fact, one example shows them this. They have seen, with Internet Explorer, that market saturation lasts only a short period of time. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other browser companies have challenged the Internet Explorer, once the dominant Internet browser.
So, now Microsoft is trying a new hand at the OS. Already there will be two new major brands, Window 8, and Windows RT. Their view with the Metro Interface has to do with repeating the vision that Jobs had in the 90’s. That is, to change the way people work with computers. If it works, Microsoft will be at a crossroad about what is next for the industry, and I’m sure that there is a road of new technologies waiting to come out, but first Metro. And this can help them lead the industry, the way Apple has lead the industry for the last 10 years.
So will Windows 8 Metro be a failure? Microsoft’s answer: Well, We’ll just see about that.

Prosedur Pelaksanaan Audit Operasional Terhadap Instansi Pemerintah pada Kantor Perwakilan Badan (BPKP) Provinsi

Skripsi :

Dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan bisnis salah satu tantangan yang harus dihadapi ialah bagaimana meningkatkan efisiensi, efektivitas dan produktivitas kerja perusahaan karena manajemen selalu menghadapi suasanan kelangkaan dalam pengadaan berbagai sumber berupa daya tenaga, sarana dan prasarana yang dapat digunakan dalam rangka pencapaian tujuan perusahaan yang bersangkutan. Untuk meningkatkan efisiensi , efektivitas, dan produktifitas kerja suatu perusahaan, dibutuhkan kehadiran atau keberadaan suatu

kelompok manajemen puncak yang memiliki ketangguhan dalam menentukan tujuan filsafat, strategi akbar dan budaya organisasi yang penting. Disamping itu masih diperlukan manajemen oprasional yang tangguh dan hadal karena pada analisa terakhir, semua hal yang telah disinggung diatas bermuara pada dan diuji operasionalnya. Strategi akbar dan strategi induk harus dirinci menjadi strategi dasar sebagai pedoman dan pegangan dalam menyelenggarakan semua jenis dan bentuk kegiatan operasional. Dengan kata lain, apakah perusahaan dikelola dengan efisien atau tidak, dan apakah perusahaan mampu menampilkan produktifitas kerja yang tinggi atau tidak akan terlihat dalam penyelengaraan seluruh aktivitas yang sifatnya operasional (Siagian,1996:215). Seiring dengan perkembangan jaman, dalam Instansi Pemerintah baik itu Pemerintah Pusat maupun Pemerintah daerah, juga harus meningkatkan kinerja manajemen operasionalnya. Dalam pencapaian tujuannya, tidak beda jauh dengan perusahaan, Instnasi Pemerintah pun perlu memperlihatkan kegiatan operasionanya guna mempertanggungjawabkan atas segala kegiatan yang sifatnya operasional. Sehingga dalam pelaksanaan tugas dan pencapaian tujuannya berjalan dengan baik. Dalam hal ini jika sebuah instansi pemerintah manajemen operasionalnya baik, maka akan baik pula dalam pemberian pelayanan kepada masyarakat maupun tanggung jawabnya kepada pemerintah. Melihat begitu pentingnya penyelenggaraan aktivitas yang sifatnya operasional, maka diperlukan instrumen yang mampu memberikan penilaian dan jaminan akan efektifnya suatu kegiatan operasional, yaitu “Audit Operasional”. Audit Operasional dimaksudkan untuk mengidentifikasi kegiatan, program, aktivitas yang memerlukan perbaikan atau penyempurnaan dengan tujuan memberikan rekomendasi agar pengelolaan kegiatan, aktivitas, dan program yang dilaksanakan secara ekonomis efisien dan efektif (BPKP,1993:5). Audit ini akan menghasilkan informasi bagi manajemen Instansi Pemerintah mengenai problema yang dihadapi dalam melaksanakan kegiatan operasional yang memerlukan perbaikan guna mencapai tingkat operasi yang lebih efisien dan ekonomis.
