Posted on October 19, 2015 by Frank Cisco

When you think of companies that foster and encourage employee collaboration, a big pharmaceutical company probably doesn’t top your list. But thanks to enthusiastic employees and visionary leadership, Sanofi, one of the Top 5 pharmaceutical companies in the world, is leading the charge in a new wave of collaboration. I sat down with Celine Schillinger and Dany De Grave, two employees driving some of the most award-winning and buzz-worthy employee initiatives at Sanofi Pasteur – the vaccine division of Sanofi – to get the company’s secrets to encouraging collaboration.

Lumia 950 listings appear on US Microsoft Store website

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Frank Cisco

While the Lumia 950 XL has already been there for quite some time, its smaller sibling – the Lumia 950 – is now also listed on the US Microsoft Store website.

As you can see in the screenshot above, there are two listings for the device: one for the unlocked version, while the other is for the AT&T variant. However, unlike the Lumia 950 XL listing, which has a price tag associated with it ($649), both Lumia 950 listings doesn’t mention any price.

Neither the 950 XL nor the 950 is available for order yet. Also, a quick look at the tech specs of both the Windows 10 Mobile-powered flagships reveal that the devices are Windows Hello ready, which possibly means that a software update would be required to enable the feature.

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Frank Cisco

During the halftime of Monday Night Football, Disney and Lucasfilm released the latest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The blockbuster will descend upon movie screens worldwide on December 18.

The action packed trailer gives us a look at the movie’s main characters, including Han Solo, Daisy, Finn, Chewbacca, and the movies baddie – Kylo Ren. Oddly, we are yet to hear from Luke Skywalker, though we did catch a glimpse of his bionic arm reaching out towards R2-D2.

Tickets for the hotly anticipated movie are already on sale.
