Educational and interesting viewer of how big various elements in our universe are compared to one another. By Lucky Tran at Policymic.com…
Recently, NASA scientists combined data from the Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes to discover the most distant galaxy known to date. The galaxy, named Abell2744 Y1, was formed around 13.2 billion years ago when the universe was extremely young. As the universe is expanding, Abell2744 Y1 is currently closer to 40 billion light years away from us, an astounding distance.

Good news reported by Paul Thurrott on his blog. I like MS Office, and I love the iPad. I hope it’s a good marriage!
With Microsoft Executive Vice President Tami Reller seeming to tiptoe around a discussion about Microsoft’s plans for delivering a full-featured Office version for iPad this year, we don’t need to parse her comments to learn more. A related and reliable report suggests that Microsoft is in fact speeding up the delivery of Office for iPad. And it will probably arrive ahead of the version for Windows 8.

A useful overview of mind mapping and a couple of product recommendations. From Bakari Chavanu at MakeUseOf.com…
Mind mapping topics and ideas is a good way to jump start projects and tasks. Though good old pen and paper traditionally got the job done, digital applications like MindNode for Mac ($19.99) and iOS ($9.99) devices offer flexibility and features that save time and trees.

What to expect from Microsoft in 2014

While I have personally adapted to Windows 8 and 8.1, it is a disaster for Microsoft. I’m so pleased to read this article by one of my favorite tech authors, Paul Thurrott. From his blog at WinSupersite.com…
At the BUILD developer conference in April 2014, Microsoft will discuss its vision for the future of Windows, including a year-off release codenamed “Threshold” that will most likely be called Windows 9. Here’s what I know about the next major release of Windows.

I found this interesting piece by Derek Huether at leadingagile.com…
I’m asked on a regular basis how Agile or Lean practices can be applied during the holidays. Let’s face it, we have a limited amount of time and todo lists as long as our arms. Truth be told, people have limited success using the ever-growing todo list. You either forget your list at home, you take on too much at one time, or you forget why some of the items on your list just aren’t getting done. Several years ago, I found the answer to my “get stuff done” problem and it is known as Personal Kanban.

Interesting opinion by Dan Frakes at Macworld.com…
As the lucky guy who got to review the 2013 Mac Pro, I’ve spent quite a bit of time with it over the past week. You can read that review for my formal evaluation of Apple’s new flagship workstation, but one thing that struck me while testing the Mac Pro is that in addition to radically changing Apple’s professional desktop line, it also illustrates the changing face of “power-user” computing for Mac users.
