Los Angeles Roof Inspection - Finding the best provider

Image
How to find a qualified Los Angeles Roof Inspection company? When you do a Google, Yahoo or Bing search for "Los Angeles Roof Inspection", the results show sponsors who are willing to advertise for this keyword combination, and the roof inspectors who have done a good job of getting their website ranked on the first two pages of these search engines. How can a home buyer or home seller, real estate agent, real estate broker, or an insurance agent be reasonably confident that any of these companies are great, trustworthy and provide excellent service? The job of finding a reputable and reliable roof inspection company in Los Angeles becomes difficult. One way to determine which company is great is by using the roof inspection reviews posted on Yelp . Finding a service provider who has multiple five star reviews is a great starting point.

Larry Page Speaks his Mind at TED

Image
Google CEO Larry Page was on stage with Charlie Rose at a TED conference on March 19. Page shared key insights on many topics, his vision of the future, success and failures, NSA, self-driving cars, medical records, and much more. Here are some excerpts from his talk: " The main thing that has caused companies to fail , in my view, is that they missed the future " "We are still at the very early stages with search. Computers don't know where you are and what you are doing" " When we bought Android, it was small and I felt guilty working on it, but it was smart, it was the future " “ He (Elon Musk) wants to go to Mars... That’s a worthy goal. We have a lot of employees at Google who’ve become pretty wealthy. You’re working because you want to change the world and make it better; if the company you work for is worthy of your time, why not your money as well? We just don’t think about that. I’d like for us to help out more than we are. ” " Wouldn...

What Tim Cook Needs Is Some Bravado

Apple under Tim Cook's leadership has done good since he was nominated the CEO of Apple on August 24, 2011 (when Steve Jobs resigned). Apple hasn't floundered; Apple hasn't stopped growing; Apple hasn't stumbled; Apple hasn't given up its crown as the world's most valuable company. Apple still generates a lot of cash every quarter. Apple is sitting with over $158 billion in cash . Apple would be the envy of any business in the world. Apple stock has done quite well since closing at $361.57 on August 24, 2011. Apple stock now sits at $536.86, or a gain of 48%. This should be pretty impressive for any company, and even more so for a large cap company. In the two and a half years since Tim Cook took over as Apple's CEO, the company's annual revenue has grown by about 58% , and its profits by about 40%. That compares favorably with many of its rivals, including Google, whose profits increased by about 25% in the same period. Why then Apple and Tim Cook are b...

Google's New Innovation Culture

by Sanjay Dalal, founder & CEO, oGoing Just How Valuable Is Google's "20% Time"? Michael Schrage of Harvard Business Review summed it up after Google announced that it is cutting back the 20% free time given to "all" employees to "innovate". Google's innovation culture is being shaped as much by the performance data of its people as by their technical intuitions and insights. In other words, tomorrow's Google won't embrace 20% "free time" for everyone; innovation best practice will mean some individuals and teams will have as much discretionary time as they need while others will have virtually nil. Read more Now that Google has  put some rules   around “20% time,” the one day a week an employee spends on side projects, people are having a field day forecasting the end of innovation at the company that claims to “use their powers for good, not evil.” To those people, I ask one question: Can a company in today’s highly competit...
