They feel that you are behaving like a authority. (someone that knows better) People have to comply to your thaughts and people we have defensive reaction often distrust or blindly believe the things they say to each other. I think it is often very important to choose what you want and not what somebody else wants. The why question is something for yourself but in situation where you can't answer a why question you can use somebody you trust to help you on your journey. Every why question has an answer which leads into a new why question. You can come to the core of the problems. And this can be very useful for the big problems in life which you worry about. When you are at the core you can built the solution by asking the how question. But first there must be full a understanding to answer a question to a problem. By using this method I gave meaning to my life. No god, no love etc but I know what it's really about for ME. This believe I have in myself is my fulfilling in happiness. (This with the understanding that man/animals/universe isn't perfect.) If you are fully aware of the imperfection of yourself you will feel that you are alive. A setback and something positive makes you feel alive. If this makes you feel alive you don't want to be death. You have to live your life as vived as you can because YOU have given the chance to enjoy life. Don't do it half. Live life to the fullest or don't live life. Even if death is immanent you wil have to fight for the last breath of life. Life is about your needs and your happiness. There is no way to end your life. Because than life has no value. There is always a way to find a equilibrium. The awkward becoming familiar. You have to respect the will to live. A strong ego will live forever. A strong ego wil fight for his primal needs to survive. Food, Air, Water etc he will put his last energy in to it to survive. Even if it means his death. The will to live longer in such a situation is important. Maybe the defensive reactions generate a mistrust among people. They feel that you are behaving like a authority.

]]> Comment on Is Win7 Already Leading? by krishashok http://pierg.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/is-win7-already-leading/#comment-9708 krishashok Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:26:07 +0000 http://pierg.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/is-win7-already-leading/#comment-9708 Lifehacker readers tend to be disproportionately in the demographic of early adopters. In fact their browser stats are more revealing, with almost 70% using Firefox to read Lifehacker (despite 70% of the browser share belonging to IE). So I am not surprise that most of them would have shifted over to Win 7. It will be more interesting to see how enterprises adopt. At TCS, we had a huge challenge with Vista and we stopped at about 10% or so and decided to wait till the next version. I suspect we will probably move faster now that XP support might disappear at any time :) Lifehacker readers tend to be disproportionately in the demographic of early adopters.

They make it a habit *not* to listen to customers on all subjects, especially design. In fact, Jobs is also on record saying that Apple does not do market research. Apple believes that they can change the way people behave through the design of their products, and it harks back to the old quote from Henry Ford who said that in the early 1900s if people were asked what sort of futuristic improvements they would like to see in transportation, most people would have answered "Faster horses". If one is in the business of designing the future, then listening to today's customers is not quite the best thing to do.
