Curious Folks Ask: 162 Real Answers on Amazing Inventions, Fascinating Products, and Medical Mysteries
from FT Press.
I found the book to contain a list of decent questions but ultimately the answers were lacking. While some contained simple answers that most could understand, I found quite a few answers to be either parially wrong or to be very jargon-filled and unecessarily complex for the target audience of this...

Inspired: How To Create Products Customers Love
from SVPG Press.
I really liked the scope of this book. It was comprehensive, but not exhaustive. Meaning, you would actually read it. It's organized logically and is a great reference. I find myself coming back to it again and again.
A must read for anyone doing tech Product Management.

Best Baby Products, 10th Edition (Consumer Reports Best Baby Products)
from Consumer Reports.
As a long time subscriber to CR magazine I was really disappointed with this book. I expected to find many more ratings/buying charts for specific models (like the magazine). Instead however it is more of a general review (often times incomplete) for products such as car seats, strollers, cribs etc,...

The Product Manager's Desk Reference
from McGraw-Hill.
There is a world of literature and guidance in the domain of New Product Development and to a lesser degree existing Product Management. As a practitioner for more than 10 years, I, like most of my peers was not born a product manager but rather evolved into the role.
If I could have had The...

Agile Product Management with Scrum: Creating Products that Customers Love (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Cohn))
from Addison-Wesley Professional.
This book a very short one (118 pages). This is usually good news for me, as I spend a lot of time reading and hope this time be well invested. Also, the product management part of Scrum is something I consider 50% of the method. It's right now poorly documented and all the literature, experiences,...

Product Design and Development
from McGraw-Hill/Irwin.
This book is required reading for my class "New Product Development" at California College of the Arts and I must say that it covers all of the basic steps. The examples that it gives for specific stages of the process of creating a new product are very basic, but it allows you to use them as a...

Sketching 5th print: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers
from BIS Publishers.
I'm an industrial design students and this year, we weren't really required to buy design books. So, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy my collection of design books myself. This book is good for sketching references. The book has great instruction on the techniques and rules on perspective,...

The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing
from Apparel Technical Svcs.
I cannot properly express my gratitude to the author for writing this book. Honestly, if it wasn't for the valuable information in this book I would have:
1) made a complete fool of myself in front of a lot of people in the industry
2) not followed the necessary steps to be successful...

Concise, practical and well written - this book is an excellent resource for any product manager. Highly recommended.

Product Strategy for High Technology Companies
from McGraw-Hill.
If I was unfamiliar with this book I'd have three concerns: is it too old to be useful, are the product strategy proposals by the author compelling, complete, and thoroughly conveyed, and does the author make the ideas accessible with the appropriate use of real business examples.

Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me: Over 4,000 Products Reviewed, Plus the Latest Hair-Care Information
from Beginning Press.
I first saw Ms. Begoun on TV and liked her down-to-earth attitude about shopping for beauty items. I'm not an expert so I needed a little help buying something that might save me some money down the road. She lets you know what less expensive products work as well, if not better, as the expensive...

Product Leadership: Creating and Launching Superior New Products

This is a good book about developing a new product Process. I recommend it for anyone working to develop a product development Process. It has less to offer directly to product managers, entrepreneurs or anyone on the front lines of launching new products.

The subtitle of this book is a misnomer....

New York Rep. Anthony Weiner delivering a screaming rant on the House Floor as he attacked Republicans for questioning why the Democrats in control of the House insisted on a two-thirds vote to pass a bill setting up a long-term compensation ...

okay i need a real answer not stupid pointless ones from people who don't care i am trying to find the name so i can check the college out i don't care if you think its not the best. its my opinion .. so please if you know the name of the college please let me know.. thank you ..

The Anti-Defamation League has announced its opposition to the building of an Islamic community center (or mosque, as CNN and others put it) in Manhattan, near ground zero.

I just received an answer from a "relative" on a previous question. She was rude and harrassing and using names of people. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior. I took care of our Mom and while my sister (whom now lives with me) was in an Adult Foster Care Home, I visited her at least 3 times a week and took her to her apts and bought her items...Whom else visited my sister, well, she was in there for almost 3 years..and you know what, this so called relative that said she loved it there, never visited her...Our two older sisters visited her (1 one time and the other about 3-4 times) this is all during her almost 3 year stay...For this so called relative to say such cruel, harrassing things about me and to me will not be tolerated. I am not perfect, nor do I pretend to be or will ever be. I will be Judged By GOD...just as she will be, just as the rest of the humans will be. Maybe this so called relative should look at why Grandma doesn't have any money, she sold her house in Michigan, moved to Florida, and then the relative took over as her POWER OF ATTORNEY...I had problems with my Grandma...yes, I will admit that...I spoke with her, I did things for her, I am not sucking up to my Grandma, I take my sister to visit her, but low and behold, when we sign in her "guestbook" on a visit, the next time we sign in, our names are scratched off...I consider that another form of harrassement too...it is not hurting only me, but also my sister, to see her name crossed off our Grandma's guestbook...grow up, I'm done with you and I'm done with everything about you...NOW however, if my sister chooses to want to visit with you or anyother family member, then she is free to do so, I encourage her to call her other sisters, but SHE not I choose not to, after all, wasn't it our other two sisters, and your sister as well that denied her the right to say Goodbye to our Mom in the hospital? I can still recall the conversation and the answer I was given to bring to down. "NO Absolutely not, we don't need her here." HMMM guess I will see all of you in HELL.....I did not steal my Mom's cc or ss number...I couldn't even tell what her SS number was...I was put on her accounts BY HER not by me. She put me on her accounts because the sister in the AFC Home was only getting 40.00 a month to live off of, now tell me this, does 40.00 a month (this was after her room/board was paid) does that cover for your extra food that you want, clothes, entertainment to go out to the movies or dinner or anything else you want or need? I highly doubt that. I will not tolerate cruel and harrassing items in this community question and answer, and I don't feel that anyone else should tolerate it either. Please let me know if I am correct in this. Ohh one other thing, I did notify my two older sisters about our Mom's health, her feet and legs were swelling, I do not have any medical knowledge, but my two older sisters do, and do you know what, the one sister that lived 2 miles away didn't stop...to check on her blood pressure, or her heart rate...I once asked her why she didn't stop and let the grandkids visit, and she said she hated stopping because Mom always made her feel guilty...I'm tired of this kind of treatment and I will not tolerate anymore disscussion about this. I was simply asking a question about rent because Department of Human Services showed that the rent could actually be posted as higher, and I thought that was terrible. I will not raise her rent, as a matter of fact, now that I am married, her rent is going to go down due to the fact that the housing expenses are being split in thirds....GO FIGURE...you know so called relative, the next time you post something under my question...be nice about it, don't harrass me to make me look like the bad person...I do believe you were the one that was at my Mom's house not a month to the day after she passed away taking things from the estate, after I told you it couldn't leave the estate until probate was over.....but you took it anyway, and while you were leaving, you told me I never had to worry about my sister ever again, and that I could finally have a life...My sister is my life, I love HER NOT HER MONEY...deeply and will do anything to protect her and give her all that I can...

1) I want to develop Window Phone 7 games 2) C# is the base layer of the beginning to learn Win7 phone apps, right? 3) If I learnt how to do Windows MOBILE game development, would this be irrelevant for Win7 phones due to the fact that Windows Mobile is a different platform? for a beginner is ther much need to learn c# 4.0 when c# 3.0 does the decent amount of features required Lastly, Can you create Windows Phone 7 apps with the Express Edition of Visual Studio Please answer in Bullet points, thank you for your time and patience

Ok so I am by far not out of the social scene, I do go to bars i've even got a few numbers here and there, been in one relationship that ended because I didn't feel ready, however last night my friend whom I am questioning is actually a friend at all now. was telling people I was a virgin because he said if I don't get laid now I am going to die a virgin yada yada yada and all that rubbish. Anyway after it got me thinking is it so wrong being a virgin at 20 almost 21 and not really having any care for sex? I mean a few of my mates whom I go out with will take MDMA, LSD or w/e then say I am just being boring to refuse to take this stuff. I am applying for the forces shortly and live a healthy lifestyle in general, don't do drug abuse at all. But this stuff to do with sex is really starting to get on my nerves, I mean some of the gals my mate approached last night said so? others were like "wow is he gay" which seems rather odd seeing as I wasn't aware sexuality had any real preference over virginity but w/e you can't help some eh. Anyway, share your opinions, ideas. Peace
