What Fiorina fails to tell voters is that her tenure at HP was regarded as a failure, and she was fired by the HP board of directors.

• Condé Nast Portfolio rated Fiorina as the 19th worst American CEO of all time.
• InfoWorld declared her one of the tech industry’s top 25 flops.
• During her tenure at HP, she eliminated more than 18,000 jobs, and the company stock price fell by more than 60%, while competitors such as Dell were growing.

Fiorina’s track record of failure certainly does not qualify her for public office. A group of former HP employees has launched a website, Carly-Fiorina.com, to educate voters about Fiorina’s failures at HP.

There is also a section where you can read current and former HP employees’ critiques of Fiorina.

AgileSpeed works as a car speedometer or walking meter. At a first glance AgileSpeed is simple enough to be popular among all kinds of people, especially young and active people.

One of the most interesting application features for me is the possibility to use it for 2  most widely spread means of transport: a car and a bicycle and also when walking on foot. Of course I can use this application for any another means of transport: a motorbike, a train, etc.

Let’s review the new features and improvements of AgileSpeed version 1.5.

First goes the new route recording feature. When routes recording mode is enabled, I can see the history of route travelled: average speed and distance covered. Also I can edit the history as I want. I find this feature to be very useful because now I can see detailed information about my route and analyze it at any moment of time, for example, during having a rest after journey.

In addition to routes recording feature I found a possibility to review routes passed on the map. This is a short and simple way to determine my location and always see my route passed visually. Of course it is more convenient than to see coordinates in numbers only without any graphical presentation.

In previous AgileSpeed version some users asked not to stop speed definition during the time when satellite signal is broken. I was pleasantly surprised that this problem was successfully resolved in the new AgileSpeed iPhone application version. The algorithm of speed definition was improved and the speed didn’t come to 0 during satellite signal absence.

Ah! Signal level indicator appeared in the left upper corner of the application’s screen! Now I can determine the satellite connection “quality” at any moment of time! The higher the value is, the more reliable and accurate average speed and altitude data is.

It is pleasant that Oxagile added a “Mersedes-style” skin. Especially Mercedes owners would benefit from that .

Here is one more feature which I find useful – average speed indicator. Now I can see my average speed right on the screen during movement. This indicator has different look-and-feel on every skin.

Of course, like any other application AgileSpeed has what should be improved. For example, the “Settings” button seems to be too small for me. But these improvements are smoothing compared with the possibilities and simplicity of AgileSpeed iPhone application.

In general, I think that the root recording and improved speed definition algorithm will increase the popularity of the application.

Conclusion: useful, flexible, intelligent and easy to use application.

Let’s go just a century behind. Now it’s the beginning of the 20th century. Just look though the upper list and think over how many positions are still not discovered.

Since the middle of the 19th century the technical progress has passed forward with huge steps. We live in a time of inventions. Every single day of your life people discover something that is urged to make your life more comfortable.

But have you ever thought how the invention appears? Well, nobody knows that properly. Some believe that is God’s affair. He loves us so much that He gives the ideas how to improve our life quality. Others believe that a feature of highly developed living matter. They say that we have developed ourselves for the level when we have to find out new circumstances that provide us with discoveries. Anyway all of them agree that the idea comes the first. And the development of this idea is an invention.

For now you should ask me in which connection I have started this article with James Bond?

Well, the idea is that very often the clue of a new discovery appears in one’s head and is being developed in the other’s one.

Just remember Jules Gabriel Verne and his bunch of fantastic ideas described in his novels. Most of that ideas are real now. One day Czech writer Karel Capek has used the word “robot” for the first time and now we have dosens of robots of different kind. And at last (wow, I’ve managed!) let us think of James Bond who has used numerous devices that were absolutely impossible for the time the book had been written. Now everybody could buy a spy earpiece device or find a pen that could sign a treaty and be used like a gun after that.

It is clear that the main two engines of the technical progress are business and government military sector. And in fact that two sectors are working together to find out the things you have used to. E.g. Internet has been discovered by militaries for their own needs. And after that it has fallen into business hands that allowed it to develop to its modern state.

So when you see a new spy device in Bond’s hands it is always a good idea to think a little where it could be used in civil life. Maybe you will be able to discover something that could be useful for many and bring you unbelievable profit.
