Trick or Treat: Rumors of Official Announcement for iPhones 5S and 5C

Any Apple fanatic has likely already heard rumors about the release of new iPhones. Though not an Apple fanatic, I do own an iPhone and have been excited to hear about an official announcement about the release of the newest series of Apple iPhones after hearing rumors of its development for several months now.

Well, the time has come. Today, Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 1pm EST Apple is holding an event at it's headquarters in Cupertino, California that will "brighten everyone's day".  Although it is still technically a rumor, there have been several leaks that have lead sources to believe that during this event Apple will be officially announcing the release dates for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.

The iPhone 5S is pretty much an upgrade to the iPhone 4S, but it provides some additional capability.  Sources have leaked that the iPhone 5S will look like the iPhone 5, but might be available made available in gold in addition to the traditional black and white.  It is also expected that the iPhone 5S will have a built in fingerprint reader on the home button to provide additional security for the device. Additionally, like any other phone upgrade, it is expected to have improved processing power and an improved camera.

The iPhone 5C is a plastic, less costly version of the iPhone.  It will be made available in several bright, funky colors such as yellow, green and blue.

It is rumored that these phones will be made available September 20. 

Both of the new devices will likely run the iOS 7 software which is expected to be released the same week as the new hardware.  To get more details on iOS 7, click here.

For anyone interested in following today's Apple event, ABC News will be providing a live blog beginning at 10am PT, and 1pm ET.

The Importance of Universal Values in a Globalized Society

In a text prepared by Andrew Wicks, Edward Freeman, Patricia Werhane, and Kirsten Martin, the authors discuss various approaches to tackling business ethics in a global society. While there is some emphasis on different perspectives that represent extreme views on how to have a discussion about global ethics, the authors provide several concepts that present an intermediate platform to discuss conflicting views. Global goals, formally known as universal values, are just one way in which conflicts about sustainable development can be addressed. Global goals are important because they represent a “set of moral principles on which people can at least agree” (Wicks ,et al., 2009). This set of moral minimums provides overarching goals that address poverty, hunger, education, environmental sustainment, world peace, and global partnerships. Specifically, universally accepted global values bring people of varying cultures, socio-economic classifications, age groups, and professions togethe

PM Outside the Box

With the growing popularity of social media platforms and their use as a key form of communication, I oftentimes find myself scrolling through timelines, updating statuses, and watching cat videos on mediums such as LinkedIn , Facebook , and Twitter . If you tend to do the same, I'm sure you have noticed a spike in quizzes that are supposed to either: a.) tell you something you already know about yourself or, b.) provide you with some result that makes you wonder "who the hell is this thing talking about". While these quizzes are sometimes just for fun and usually completely ridiculous, I recently came across a quiz while browsing LinkedIn called " What Type of PM Are You ". Considering my role as a technical PM, and a newly certified PMP (woot woot!), I was inclined to answer the questions and see my results. After truthfully answering a series of question which, in my opinion, only scratch the surface of what is required to determine the true management styl
