Capturing Opportunities

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on capturing opportunities:

“You want to position yourself near opportunities. You don’t have to be that perfect you know. You want to position yourself near the tree and even if you don’t catch the Apple before it hits the ground so long as you’re the first one to pick it up you want to position yourself close to the opportunities now. So that’s kind of a lot of my work is positioning the company near opportunities and having the company having the skills to monetize each one of the steps along the way so that we can be sustainable.”

Macbook Pro’s Mini disc problem

Last evening, we shot an home video in our mini Disc handy cam, in eagerness to check out the video, I inserted the minidisc into my mac book pro with a hope of playing it. None of the DVD Player softwares in mac were able to recognize the mini disc, which is fine. But the problem started right after it,  it doesn’t eject the mini disc, both via the Open disc key or the Finder, Eject Shortcut.

How can I get the mini disc out and play directly in my Blu ray player ? (of course without breaking my tiny Macbook’s DVD player). Looks like I am not the only one who encountered this accidental problem. There was a whole lot of discussions in the Apple community – https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1050337?start=15&tstart=0

I always of the opinion, listening to some of the posts in communities invites more harm then the benefits it provides. So I chose a work around which is less harmful and is highly recommended by many others. Took a double cell-o-tape and a business card and inserted right into the DVD Player and then pressed the open key, the mini disc popped right next in few seconds.

Kudos to the folks who found this work around and shame on to Apple to have not warned its macbook users.
