Sometimes you just need to know when to call it quits. Does that make you a loser? Hell no! Or maybe. You can’t be sure until it’s all over.
The way it is, the most important thing is to win the war but you may lose some battles or side street skirmishes in the interest of overall success of your military or career campaign.
Some stories come to mind – Apple dropping Ping, a social network (I wonder if any of you know about it) like a bad habit when it wasn’t going north. Microsoft quarantined Nokia like a virus and took a $7.6B haircut while at it.
Recently, the folks at Google had a serious heart-to-heart talk with each other and decided that Google+ should go the way of the dodo. Starting weeks ago, Google+ is getting kicked out of Google assets, inclusive of YouTube where forcing users to have a Google+ accounts has drawn backlash
Which comes to a critical question – how do you know when to throw in the towel and declare the current adventure dead or push through and succeed? The world is replete with anecdotes of people who succeeded despite odds stacked against them. Same world is also replete with anecdotes of those who didn’t pull back on time.
Sometimes life feels like a coin toss with two heads or two tails. The luck isn’t in the spin, it’s in the pick.

The end of the world is holographic and unreal
Ok, I’m an armchair futurist but I’m not ashamed of that at all. How could one be ashamed of the progress Microsoft has with HoloLens? That sh*t simply blows the mind away!
Yeah, my mind got blown with the scary realities of VR and I haven’t been able to find the pieces since.
In a nutshell, HoloLens turns the VR world upside down by overlaying holograms on the everyday objects around us. It is easier to understand by starting here and then watching a live demo here.
This may be more useful for the everyday people like you and me while Oculus Rift is suited for core gamers. The possibilities are endless though – education, business, entertainment, porn, etc.
You don’t know what I’m ranting about? Leave, you don’t belong here!
Using Outlook.com for your Custom Domain/Email
Google Apps rocks, we all know that. Google knows we know that. So they yanked the rug off our feet. Google Apps started with 500 free users then 50, then 10. Now nothing.
Some of my friends have joined the vanity bandwagon of your [email protected] but as vain guys go, we are cheap. We want free hosting of our emails and we want the best. So with no free Google Apps, what can we do?
Here comes Outlook.com or Windows Live Domain. A free option of vanity emails with 500 users to boot. Setting up one is actually easier than Google but the features suck. Apart from the emails, nothing decent you can do with it. Ok, it supports MSN messenger but who uses that these days? Maybe my granny.
So if you want somethingcrazy.com as your email head here to read about how to set it up: http://www.labnol.org/internet/setup-outlook-on-custom-domain/24699/
