Imagination Technologies ( IMG.L ) has been told by Apple ( AAPL.O ), its biggest customer, that the maker of iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches is to stop using its graphics technology in its new products, sending shares in the company crashing by more than 70 percent on Monday. Imagination said Apple, which accounts for about half its revenue, had notified the British firm it was developing its own graphics chips and would no longer use Imagination's processing designs in 15 months to two years time. "The biggest risk to Imagination's business model was realized this morning," analysts at Investec said. "The loss of this revenue stream will have a material impact on the financials of the company." The technology company, which was founded in 1985 and listed in 1994, has licensed its processing designs to Apple from the time of the first iPod and receives a small royalty on every device using its graphics.

  Relationships have different colors. Some have a terrific start but fade away suddenly. Others have to rough it out in the beginning but make it through fine. Why do some relationships last while others die off? What is the secret sauce that makes a long lasting relationship? According to Psychologist  John Gottman , who has spent the last 40 years of his life conducting research on couples, most marriages that result in divorce are not because of major differences in opinion but rather the inability to communicate differing opinions in a cordial manner. Also, many people try to change their partner’s personality according to their own wishes rather than accepting them as they are. Research Method Dr. John Gottman’s research methods include analyzing couples in a home-like setting which he calls the Love Lab , where they talk to each other about everyday things or argue. “In the Love Lab, researchers claim they can predict with 91% accuracy wh...

Things That Women Will Always  Be Attracted To    1. Drive “I’m really attracted to a guy who knows what he wants in life and is going after it. I absolutely adore being around that kind of energy.” – Jessica, 27 Women are attracted to men that have goals and are actively pursuing them. Masculine energy is directional energy. Like a boulder rolling down a hill, the single-focus energy that penetrates through resistance in pursuit of achieving an end result is very attractive to women.

A 7-year-old British girl who sent a letter to Google’s “boss” requesting a job received a response from the company’s CEO. Chloe Bridgewater knew she wanted to work for the company after her dad showed her pictures of Google offices decked out with bean bag chairs and slides. So, she handwrote a letter to Google, expressing her desire to work there. “Dear google boss My name is chloe and when I am bigger I would like a job with google. I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the olympics.” In the letter, Chloe discusses her qualifications – she likes computers and has a tablet on which she plays games. And she even includes references: “My teachers tell my mum and dad I am very good in class and am good at my spelling and reading and my sums.” Obviously her parents were impressed with her take-initiative attitude, but they weren’t the only ones. After catching wind of Chloe’s “application,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote...
