Zander biography, Zander discography
Zander (born January 12, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American business executive.He is Chairman of the Board of Motorola, a title he has held since he started there in January, 2004.His work in the technology sector included management positions at Data General and Apollo Computer before joining Sun Microsystems in 1987 where he was later promoted to Chief Operating Officer and President in 1998 and 1999, respectively.NYSE: TWX) in 2007 Jan 25.His father reportedly dreamed of being a lawyer but instead settled for a job as a furrier in order to support his ill parents.His mother, now blind with glaucoma, emigrated from Greece after her entire family was wiped out by Turkish nationalists in 1922.Growing up, he was given the nickname "Fast Eddie" by his friends because, according to a Boston Globe article, he frequently demonstrated the "hustle of a street kid spoiling for a good fight."Zander himself remarked, "I'm from New York, so I'm New York fast" (June 19, 2000).Zander attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and graduated in the class of 1968.Zander is now married to Mona Zander, and the couple has two sons.Career at Sun Microsystems
Edward Zander's career at Sun Microsystems began in 1987.Throughout the 1990s, he rose through the ranks, first taking the role of vice president of corporate marketing, and then becoming president of Sun's software division in 1991, moving to the same position for Sun's systems division in 1995.Zander was responsible for Sun's seven product divisions which included engineering, product development, sales, service and marketing.The CTO and corporate brand marketing also reported to him.After Zander left the company in 2002, CEO Scott McNealy reassumed the duties of President and COO, until the promotion of Jonathan Schwartz to those roles on April 2, 2004.Career at Motorola
On January 5, 2004, Zander was selected by the Motorola board of directors to succeed Chris Galvin who retired in September of 2003, ending a three generation reign of his family at the head of the electronics giant.T's President Betsy Bernard, Qwest Communications International's Richard Notebaert and Verizon Communications' Lawrence Babbio were also considered.He arrived from General Electric and led the cell phone business to profitability.Unfortunately for him, the board was looking for a more radical change in leadership.Even though Zafirovski was virtually an outsider himself (having served at the corporation for only three years), the board of directors went with someone with more experience in a complex organization like Motorola.January 2005, when he resigned.Zander had a lot to prove, and he quickly went to work.He announced that he would focus the company on its consumer electronics business and start taking better care of its customers (he even assigned the Chief Information Officer, Samir Desai, to one of their largest and angriest customers, Nextel).Motorola's departments have been referred to as "warring tribes".He started looking to target major corporations for communications gear and services, instead of just aiming at customers of the phones and telecom companies with wireless gear.Motorola's business divisions became likely.Zander wanted to see new types of products that focused on melding Internet technologies with wireless phone technologies.Zander came under increased pressure, with Carl Icahn first demanding a share buyback, then a seat on the board of directors.Zander stepped down as CEO on 1 January 2008, succeeded by Greg Brown, who was prior to then President and Chief Operating Officer.Zander will stay on as chairman until the company's annual shareholders' meeting in May 2008.Sun division in 1995 as promotion to the head of the entire company."Four generations and 80 years experience, unparalleled commitment to service, the best products on the market, and a principled commitment to debt free strategies, are just a few reasons I trust, use and strongly recommend Zander Insurance."Dave Ramsey's choice for term life, disability insurance, and Identity Theft Protection has been serving its customers for over 80 years.Jeffrey J Zander, JJZ Insurance Agency Inc.When it was over, I went to speak with him.For a brief moment, the most extraordinary idea in classical music marketing history hovered in the air.ZANDER has been manufacturing and marketing the finest quality compressed air
and industrial gas purification products since our company's inception in 1976.Assess the customer's compressed air requirements and furnish them with the
correct product solution.The needs of the customer always come first and our
customers' individual requirements directly govern the approach we take.Please make the correction on your catalog ASAP.The following link is dedicated to the business that we have inconvenienced due to our mistake.For a complete list of catalog changes click on the Dealer Promotions and Flyers link below.As you probably know, I work on KOffice.Have been doing that since before the first release and I did most of the (flake)libs and KWord work in the sprint to the upcoming Koffice2.Another, at least equally big reason is that I believe KOffice is the best open source office suite for the long term.And so follows the question; What makes a successful open source project?.Good idea
Running code
A community
Today I want to highlight the "community" part, as various others have been doing on blogs in the last couple of days.Without community there is no future in the project, since new contributions come from the community members.Sustaining a community next to creating great code is a balancing act.The most obvious way of doing that is reporting bugs, but a lot of people are actually providing feedback on your work as you do it.Which creates a really great atmosphere of working where you create stuff that you could not have created were you working on your own in a closed source setting.It tends to be along the lines of "This is my code, let me do what I like in peace!"So others must obviously disagree with you if they ask you about your work.These two ways of thinking (the collaborative and the "I do my part" ways) are obviously in conflict.Whenever differently minded community members meet bad emotions and disruptive events happen.I've been in a couple of those in the last month and I can tell you they are very much draining me of my creativity.Worse, I note that this behavior is spreading; people that are behaving in the way that what they do is obviously the right thing and feedback is not going to lead to an open discussion make other people more closed minded as well.What do you think we can do to improve this situation?You can find more blogs from here at this space; labs.KWord in trunk (we recently got an alpha2 out) is not the same piece of software as it was in KOffice 1.This also means that old known functionality may have problems due to it being new code.Some time ago I blogged about how KWord can now run around the outline of any shape you place in its text flow.Just 2 hours later I had a working prototype and this morning I dotted the I's and committed the stuff.Every now and then I start kbugbuster and browse the bugs database for KWord.The reason for this is that basically KWord has undergone a rewrite for 2.Flake it turned out it wasn't useful to refactor the code but more to merge in old code when and where possible.Now, if you start the new alpha release of KOffice and see a KWord that still misses loading and saving, instead I see a KWord that got its guts ripped out and replaced with shiny new components.Which means that redesigns which are started, but are not yet fully finished still give me room for more closing of bugs.If you ever did anything with multithreading you'd know mutexes.They are basically a building block to do any multithreading work in.In java they are better known as 'synchronized blocks'.The mutex will never be unlocked.So you will get weird errors that just when that corner case happens which will do such an early return, things will lock up.You may have thought about using the excellent Threadweaver from kdelibs to speed up your application a bit, but got scared of the horror stories of multithreading in C++.One common case where things may go wrong in C++ is deleting of objects.The reason for this are a couple, but the most important being that we want to have just one way to do printing of images and not waste time maintaining a more than one.Naturally the option to let Krita convert the images to CMYK while printing (as soon as QPrinter supports that) sounds like a nice to have as well.It turned out to be a bit harder than I first thought.And I know you want that.So, the problem is thus that painting is designed to paint the stuff we can paint right now; even if thats not the full content.And when the rest of the paragraphs have been properly layouted, then we'll just paint again.This concept works great on screen, but breaks down when printing.We don't want partial text on paper, we should wait until the whole text is positioned.The idea there is that I call that method while trying to paint, and the method doesn't return until the shape is fully ready.After which I paint it to a printer.And it repeats this for each page.There is a KoAction which is the simplest interface you can use to make code run in different threads.Required so we don't delete a shape that's just being painted in another thread, which would cause a crash.Flake now doesn't just rock for easy painting and editing, it also is great for multithreaded applications and professional printing.Some weeks ago KOffice alpha1 got tagged; but some balls were dropped and it never was uploaded to the ftp site.As Jan demonstrated by basically having a string of coordinates as a new template and coming up with a shape we call the Gearhead Jans blog.Even if you are the only one actually overseeing the plan.KWord ODF loading from both Dipesh and Pierre Ducroquet.We now lazily load images from disk; so you can have a document with tens of thousands of high quality images loading quite fast and taking not a lot of memory.You can also set an image to be previewed in a low resolution to speed this up and conserve memory use.Redesigns are useful when you have to write new code anyway; as I noted when I was going through our vast database of bugs for KWord I managed to close about 20 long open bugs that basically disappeared due to rewrites and redesigns at the lower level.An example of such a thing is a new approach I took to footnotes.For those that don't know the term; its a often used concept of adding a marker in text, like a '1' and adding some text at the bottom of the page giving extra info.Krita or karbon you will now also be able to see the footnote.Which people will surely be able to see usages for.Let us know what you think!I'm proud to tell you that the todo list on getting that done is starting to be really really small.Here is a point wise list of things that we now do properly.BiDi text rendering, and cursor navigation works as expected.KOffice text now has smart auto detecting for directionality of text while the user it typing it.Inheriting of text direction is made possible; you can set the direction on a document so a latin paragraph in hebrew text is not automatically changed since that would look out of place.This was a long standing bug that I fixed.Smart showing of directionality button.You can manually alter the direction of a paragraph by clicking a button in the docker.This button will only be shown if the document has mixed directionality already.Last year I had some Hebrew lessons from a friendly Israeli, the rest of this stuff I got from books.My 2 cents on releases...Regular KDE builds from Neon, Cuteness!There are currently 2 users and 170 guests online.All other trademarks and copyrights on this page are owned by their respective owners.All comments and blogs are owned by the respective posters.Any views and opinions are not the official views and opinions of the KDE Project but the views of the individual developers of the project.America, South America, and the Caribbean.IVF Web site for more information.The Zander Medical Supplies site is currently under construction.I've also spent time trying to get them interested in authoring their own game software using Visual Studio.Drawing, then drawing a line.Next we changed the color.Yeah, that's interesting, but where do we put Mario?But for my kids, what they really wanted was an easy way to get a game up and running.The code is something that would come next as they made their effort much more sophisticated.To make sure it really was easy, I brought my two sons Michael (13) and Eric (11) to Microsoft during their spring break to be beta testers.They had a blast working with Adam and Suzanne: Each was able to create a game in two hours.Eric's game is a side scroller ala Mario called JellyMan.You can get going with the Game Creator on Popfly from the main page: This will allow you to either find existing games you can play or modify, or create a new game.This brings up the designer: You can now start to customize the game.For example, if you select Scenes you can change characters, behavior, decide what to do when you win or lose the game, etc: As with all Popfly work, you can now save your own version of the game and share it with your friends.Congratulations to the Popfly team on the new release!You can find the download here.This update provides a perfect opportunity to update your MFC application.There is a lot to explore here and you can find a walk through here with more details.Silverlight application which used LINQ and Silverlight 2 including the new controls.That version takes a simple text box parameter for the state we want to look for.The end result will look like this: I've posted the source code for the full demo here.Hopefully you were able to create Part 1 without it.But you'll need the map markup to do the next step.Expression you will be able to click on each Path item to see its name and location: In this case I've selected Washington state which has the name Path_412.Navigate back to VS2008 and add the following code to the project: Now when the user clicks anywhere inside the Path for Washington, our handler will get called allowing us to search for items in the database.As the mouse enters the Path for the state, its color is changed and vice versa.Now that you have the basic mechanisms, you could start hooking up all sorts of behavior.The obvious next step in the demo is to create a table of the state and path objects and hook up the events in a more generic way.I've left this as an exercise to the user.LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, as well as the new controls.If you are an advanced user, you may find I have included too many steps.To get started, you'll want to download all of the required software I use in the walk through.Silverlight 2 SDK Beta 1 (here) Expression Blend 2.The middle tier will in turn use LINQ to SQL to query my database (I'm using the Northwind database to make things simple).We're going to use that default option in our demo: This will create both the server and client pieces: At this point you could build and launch the application to ensure everything is installed correctly.Create the Data Layer The client application is going to query for an XML Document which is generated using LINQ to SQL and LINQ to XML.You will be prompted about organizing your code into proper folders, simply click 'Yes': You will now get the LINQ to SQL designer view.Change the view to Server Explorer and drag all of the Northwind tables onto the design surface.This will generate the schema mappings for you: At this point you could declare the database context and start to write LINQ queries.The next step is to create our web service to return the data base to the client.Add a Web Service called NorthWind.GetCustomersByState which takes a string filter.The base LINQ to SQL statement for getting the customers filtered by state is shown above.However for our method, we want to return an entire XML document to the client.In this case we will use LINQ to XML with LINQ to SQL embedded in the expression to create an entire document at once: Let's break this one down a little bit as there is a lot going on here.Each inner element then takes a field from the query, such as c.The result is the fully formed document with a list of customer records.Build the Client The client is going to use a Grid for basic layout, as well as a DataGrid to display our content.To build the client, right click on page.Start by making the Canvas larger so we have some room.Next in Design mode, add a couple of rows into the grid by moving your cursor into the grid area and clicking.This will automatically add the Grid.Now repeat the step for the TextBox.Instead you need to set the Content property to change the display text.Set the name to ButtonSearch and then change the Content property (under Miscellaneous property pane) to 'Search'.At this point we have a navigation pane that will take input (the state name to filter on) and action (the button).Make sure to save all of your changes.Switch back over to VS2008.You'll be warned the XAML file contents have been changed, go ahead an reload the file.This works just like Windows Forms and Web Forms.In the markup I've also given the control a name, CustomerList, so we can write code against it.At this point our first round of UI is done.But we need to hook up behavior.We'll do this by writing some client code in page.We'll do this by doing an Add Service Reference: On the dialog, click the Discover button which will query our project for any existing web services.Expand the list and choose the NorthWind service.Insert a new line of code as follows: go ahead and hit tab twice to fill out a default Completed method.The DataGrid will now iterate over these items and display them.If you were at my keynote in San Francisco, this is the step I missed on stage which led to the data not displaying at first (gotta love those demo glitches).When you are done, the final method should look like this: Our final step is to actually hook up the Search button.NET videos here, but unfortunately the site they were hosted on was overwhelmed by the interest.Please accept our apologies for the time delay and initial failure.This is great news for developers.With this announcement you'll be able to bring your Silverlight application to a broad set of mobile devices as well.You'll continue to use Expression and Visual Studio to develop your applications.Modulo things like screen size, you'll be able to use the same application resources as you use on the desktop.In particular Chapters 5 and 6 are great for understanding how to debug heap corruptions.In these chapters the authors go through the layout of a stack (with all calling conventions explained), as well as walking through the heap and diagnosing bad pointers.If you are just writing managed code you should always be great using the Visual Studio debugger.Today we are formally launching Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008, and SQL Server 2008 here in Los Angeles.The event is very well attended, to the point where we did not have sufficient room in our Developer Track.There is a lot of cool stuff in this release so I hope you will try it out.You can find a ton of data on www.The LINQ provider will generate pretty decent default SQL to use for getting its data.You can watch webcasts of Tom Brokaw and Steve Ballmer from this site, along with some of the case studies.I've seen several folks having problems since we RTM'd VS2008.Things should be working smoother now and updates to the Download Manager are also on their way as required to fix these problems.I'm sorry if you have run into these problems.Obviously we'd like to see your experience be as smooth as possible.If you are still experience problems, please do let me know and we'll work to fix them ASAP.I'm sure it is hard to piece things together after the fact.That's why several of the unmanaged DLL methods and environment variables in the CLR start with the Cor prefix.We actually wrote the original BCL in SMC.At the time the IL instruction set was changing quite a bit and having our own compiler checked into the tree was very handy.Given how much work was done on the runtime, languages, and IDE, it was quite surprising things didn't leak by the time we did the formal product launch at PDC 2000 in Orlando.Test the entire way through (the Feature Crew model) which allowed us to get integrated builds much sooner and dogfood quicker.But the lion share of the credit goes to the engineering teams for pushing hard on quality and community feedback early in the cycle.VS since it started and this was the smoothest release we've had.You can find everything you need to get started here.Popfly, now in open beta (way to go team!I've had a number of queries on how to get started with Silverlight after my talk in NYC on Monday.The best place to get going is the www.There is a wealth of information up there including partner show cases, downloads for the software (runtime and tools), samples, etc.If you want to play with the show cases, start on the main site and click the "See More..."Finally there are a ton of code samples you can download under the "LEARN" and "COMMUNITY" links at the top of the page.We also have a great deal of material out there in blogs.This morning I presented the keynote on Silverlight at VSLive in New York.You'll find a lot of additional supporting material on our various blogs.If you aren't already a subscriber, I highly recommend ScottGu's blog
