Management differences... Egypt, USA

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

As u know (or probably not), I'm working for Shura (egyptian company) & Silverkey (USA Based company), so let's check an example for a difference between my senior here and there..
Doddy is my PL (Project Leader) in Silverkey & Ali is my PL in Shura..

- Doddy made a team of trainees (4 trainees) and chose a project for them (iSchool in new way) and got a teacher to declare what is going on in the school...
- Ali did the same thing but the difference is that he cares more about getting money and doesn't care about the fact that we r trainees..

- Doddy asks us to make a task, gives us time (much time actually), then gives us a visit (in our own development room) to check the status and if he didn't like something (and this happens a lot) he sends as much as we wish to convince us or to get convinced, and it happens few times when we convinced him..
- Ali asks us to make tasks (which we discover later that he has no knowledge about..) and gives us under-estimate time, and keeps calling and speaking on messengers (I feel sometimes that he is chasing us) to ask about the status... and when we ask "did u c my code?" or such questions, regurally we get a simple answer like "ur code is wrong" as a first expression...
yesterday, I was in a 1:30-hour discussion to convince him or get convinced about certain point, assuming that both sides will accept to state reasons, anyway.. he was just stick with his opinion and stick with stating no reason at all..

Those were simple differences.. after all, this what makes egyptian companies not developing (but rather closing) except some few companies which r trying to follow the good method for treating their employees... It's exactly why MS doesn't determine an expiration date for their contracts with u while most of egyptian companies do that... MS knows u will never think of leaving them, egyptian companies knows u will certainly leave them when u find a chance to do so...

I wish to do it good, I wish to do it as Allah likes to see.. I want to tell Allah after coming to life again (after death) something like "Allah, I've made this for ur sake"

May Allah bless us all..

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

What do you do? and how do you do it?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh I've remembered these two questions a couple of minutes ago, they were mentioned in a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and as you see Happyness is written intentionally with 'y' but that's another story! The scene was that the hero who was a depressed poor guy was walking in the street then found a guy parking his very nice & expensive car, he stopped him and asked him "may I as you two questions..." "What do you do? and how do you do it?" Away from the scene and how things went on in the movie, the question that came to me was why don't I ask myself the same questions.. it's not that I'm successful or something but my point is to try to analyze what "were" my goals during my past life... and what did I do to reach the state I am in now -fail/success/progress...- I believe what brought this to my mind is watching -again- Steve Jobs's motivational speech when h...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask...
