Jobs Back At Work

After six months off work, during which he reportedly underwent a liver transplant, Steve Jobs is officially back at work at his company, Apple.

The 54-year-old has said he’d be back at work by the end of June and kept his word by appearing at company headquarters in California yesterday.

An Apple spokesman said:

"Steve is back to work."

However, he won’t be in the office full time immediately, the spokesman continued:

"He’s currently at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days. We are very glad to have him back."

Apple share prices fell when Jobs announced he was taking time off to treat a hormonal imbalance. And since the company’s stock prices seem tied to Jobs, his return should give them a boost.

Common problems with GoToMeeting and how to solve them

GoToMeeting is a great option for hosting meetings remotely, but like any other videoconferencing app, it still has issues that need troubleshooting. For this guide, we found five common problems GoToMeeting users may encounter and the solutions to each of them. From audio issues to connectivity problems, let's look at these difficulties and the best ways to solve them.
Annoying sound effects when people enter or leave meetings

With GoToMeeting, there are two kinds of people: Organizers and participants. Organizers are usually the hosts of the meetings and set up the meeting in the first place. Participants are just the meeting attendees -- they just get invited to a meeting and show up. If you're an organizer, you're probably familiar with the various sound effects that occur while you're waiting for your attendees to show up (on-hold beeps) or the sounds that occur when your attendee joins or leaves your meeting (entry/exit chimes). As an organizer, if you're tired of hearing those beeps and chimes, you can actually turn them off.

I loved working from home until the pandemic made it mandatory

man working from home

For the last two years, I’ve considered myself privileged to be able to work from anywhere. This lifestyle has spared me from the countless hours I would have squandered commuting in rush hour traffic or the politics of a traditional office. It has let me meet deadlines from the peace and quiet of the study nook in my home to the beachside cafes of Thailand. And in spite of its several downsides, I have truly cherished every second of it.

While before I belonged to a relatively small, yet growing class of people working remotely, that’s no longer the case.
