Google Now revamps search integration in Android 4.1 Jellybean

Google just officially unveiled its next iteration for Android -- Jelly Bean 4.1 -- and now we're getting to see the various "buttery" improvements the company's worked into the OS. Hugo Barra, Director of Product Management, took to the I/O 2012 stage to detail the refinements introduced to its search integration. The entire experience has been redesigned from the ground-up with a fresher UI and a "faster, more natural" voice search ability. That refreshed interface borrows from the recently outed Knowledge Graph, displaying queries for weather, Wikipedia and restaurants in graphical card format. That same layout extends to voice search, now spoken by a much more human-sounding voice. You can also dismiss the cards with a simple swipe, exposing the full list of search results beneath.

But that's not the whole story, the company's also introducing Google now -- a new form of search that ties your browsing and navigation histories together to anticipate your needs. In the demo, Barra showcased how the new system could help to calculate a user's commute, replete with alternate route suggestions and even scheduling info, recommend nearby restaurants as they're passed and keep users abreast of impending appointments with departure time recommendations. Excited for this next search-based step in Android? Then look for it to hit Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Xoom devices as part of the 4.1 update coming mid-July.

Are Portable Gaming Devices Coming to Atlantic City?

The New Jersey Assembly has approved a bill allowing gamblers to use hand-held devices to make bets while on the grounds of Atlantic City casinos.

Jerry Driendl, Getty Images

The bill, approved Monday by a 77-0 vote, authorizes use of the devices in areas like a casino?s outdoor pool or recreation areas, or in lounges or hotel rooms. The state Division of Gaming Enforcement would have to verify that the devices would not work beyond the physical boundaries of the casino property.

Gamblers would have to establish a mobile betting account with the casino and all bets would have to be paid on casino grounds.

The state Senate initially approved the bill on May 31, but must now vote on the measure passed in the Assembly. That is scheduled to occur Thursday.

Negotiations for Success ? Chinese Negotiation Styles | The Secrets ...

In today is business world the art of negotiation is what sets apart the successful from the unsuccessful. The negotiation can be a simple talk over a pay raise all the way up to the very complex negotiations of a business acquisition. To put it shortly there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of negotiations done every year! To succeed one will need a powerful business negotiation strategy. Chinese negotiation styles are just that and in this article you will be systematically shown a wide variety of different Chinese negotiation styles. These styles will not only make you look like the better businessman but also the more financially successful.

The first and most basic form of Chinese negotiation styles is the cutthroat variant. In this style you are only looking out for one person, yourself. If you are working this style you will need to have a very aggressive attitude when making a deal and not looking to compromise in even the slightest extent. If you do not get what you are looking for you are expected to walk away. This Chinese negotiation style is best suited for business acquisitions on businesses that may be going under or are in a financial crisis. They would need you so there is little room for them to negotiate anyways.

If you are planning to make a long lasting relationship with whoever you are working with then a cooperative style might do you well. This Chinese negotiation style could specifically be used when you are negotiating a business merger where both parties must get something equal in return. You are not looking to gain any more than the person or group you are negotiating with; in fact you are trying to give them an amount that seems equal to what you have.

A boss, CEO, or even a manager might need to play the role of an accommodator. In this role you are giving the person you are negotiating with the feeling as if they have gotten something more out of the negotiation. This may seem like a style to avoid however; this style is great when you are working with lower level to midlevel employees. If a key player on your team wants a raise and he has an offer to work somewhere else then a raise might do him well to stay. You are accommodating this person but at the same time you are keeping your business in track by not losing him.

To conclude we see that there are many different Chinese negotiation styles but what is most important is that we find one that works for the current situation. If you are looking to get nothing but gain then the cutthroat style may be for you, a cooperative style will keep things fair for both sides, and finally an accommodator style is something better for the long run. Regardless of the style you pick the Chinese negotiation styles are simply the most powerful and best way to get you and your business going!
