US - Work Culture..

My existence comes from a country of great culture from the EAST.. I am privileged to be a part of the most-civilized, culturally profound nation of the WEST.. The United States of America...This nation has the amalgamation of various cultures from far and wide... However, my search begins for an insight of the original American culture... In this post, let us get an insight about the "Work Culture" of the Americans.. 1. The Americans believe in early to bed and early to rise... They go to bed by 9.30 pm or max by 10.00 pm... Also, they wake up very early at around 5.00 am in the morning... So, they are at office by 7.30 am or 8.00 am in the morning... 2. Upon reaching office, they are glued to their seat and it's just WORK,WORK and WORK... 3. Noise is not at all encouraged during work hours.. 4. Gathering in cubicle is not looked upon as healthy work culture... 5. The use of IMs (Instant Messaging) and phone is prevalent while working.. The job is done very quietly.. 6.

Forget iPhone, Add Calling to iPod Touch

Want the iPhone without the two-year baggage? Why not pick up an iPod Touch and install Jajah, an application that enables users to call using VOIPIn the same manner that Skype enables VOIP calling on the PC, JAJAH's new downloadable application provides the same service on the Apple iPod Touch, making it a fully functional mobile phone for consumers.
