  "Some executives would love to be left alone." I read this line from an article about how top corporations are protecting their top level executives.  Forbes online's section on Tech->Security lists down how these companies spend to keep their hotshots secure.  Check these figures out: US$1.8 million - the amount Oracle spends to protect its Chief Executive Larry Ellison last year. US$532,755 - the amount Google spent last year on protecting its Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. US$33,196 - the amount Google spent last year for Company Founder Larry Page's transportation, logistics and personal security. US$1 million - the amount Ford spent ...


If you're like me, you would be quite averse to the usual corporate setup. I used to work the corporate grind, getting up early in the morning to drive or take a cab, bus or train to the office miles away, work for eight or more hours, and then go home at night feeling tired and weary. Work is great and the people are okay, too, except for my disdain with office politics. But it's the travel time that usually leaves me exhausted each day. Imaging wasting your time in hours of travel just to get from point A to point ...


Last week, I discussed the bigger-scale online moneymaking options. Today, we’ll discuss the mid-level or can-do ways to make money online.


Making money online would be easy for a person, if he or she were resourceful enough to seek out the ways you can go about it. I had actually talked about it before, in this ol' article. But today, I will give an “academic”-style take on the topic of online moneymaking. In the online economy, there are economic tiers, as there are in the “real world.” Bear with my categorical mind, as I talk about the ways and means this is done.


The Chinese people -- and all those who believe in the Chinese horoscope -- will celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Rat on Chinese New Year’s Day this Feb. 7. They say it’s going to be a year of conflicts and challenges for the entire world. But for those in the West – and for all other people hooked up with the West – not much thought is being given to 2008 being the Year of the Rat since it’s really the Year of Getting Real. According to Marco della Cava of USA TODAY, a select group of marketers, ...


The Internet is indeed a gold mine and we, Netizens, just have to know how to grab those gemstones to become millionaires, even billionaires! Indeed, sky’s the limit in cyberspace. Ashley Qualls barefoot at her desk at the office-basement of her new 4-bedroom home. Take the case of Ashley Qualls, a 17-year-old Internet user who’s now the big boss of a million-dollar business in the US. Using her wits and imagination – and of course her computer – Ashley began making background designs in 2004 for the online social networking website MySpace and turned her hobby into a multi-million dollar enterprise! Ashley is ...


If you still have the tons of books known as encyclopedia, you must have been buried deep into those piles of books for too long to know about the new “pedia” sensation. Yes, Virginia, the encyclopedia is ancient history. To be part of modern history, you got to know how to use another “pedia” – Wikipedia. It’s now considered as the most prized of status symbols -- your very own page on Wikipedia, the world’s largest online encyclopedia. Unlike popular networking sites MySpace and Facebook, Wikipedia doesn’t allow people to post profiles of themselves. Instead, Wikipedia entries are earned. “If someone is notable ...


The great inventor Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Since there are many people perspiring these days (due to global warming perhaps) without really doing anything good actually since they lack inspiration, then the world must be full of geniuses! But I’m quite sure that’s not what Edison meant when he made that quote. However, it seems many people worldwide are spending their mortal lives without inspiration to guide them to the pursuit of the ideal life. According to a recent poll conducted by Maritz Research, only 10 percent of American workers ...


The milkmaid... No, this is not another edition in the series of Halloween excitement here at Froodee. However, this article can be scary if you find yourself counting the last few pennies in your pocket. It was way back in elementary when I first heard her story. My uncle had given me a collection of Aesop's Fables and one of the stories that struck me was the tale of "The Milkmaid and Her Pail." Of course, back then, I was more fascinated with the illustrations rather than the story itself. If you haven't read the story, drop by ...


An assignment recently got me interested in something called the Law of Reciprocity. No—this is not Physics class or any other Science-related course. The Law of Reciprocity actually goes by many names. Others call it an emotional bank account. One of my favorite writers of all time, Paulo Coelho, describes it as the favor bank. But what exactly is this Law of Reciprocity, you ask? This law goes far back as early as kindergarten for most people. It’s the “I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine” strategy (How crafty kids can be…!). And for others, it transcends into ...
