Wolfram Alpha Pro now available, $4.99 a month will let you throw almost anything at it for analysis

Wolfram Alpha has made some fairly big strides in its few short years of existence, but the so-called computational knowledge engine has now rolled out what founder Stephen Wolfram says is the "the single most important development for Wolfram Alpha since the original website launched in 2009." That development is Wolfram Alpha Pro, a new premium service that will run you $4.99 a month (or $2.99/month for students) and give you access to a wealth of new options for both input and output. On the input end, you can now upload images, audio and other files (over 60 types in all) for automatic analysis and a detailed report -- according to Stephen Wolfram, the ultimate goal being "to do what a top data scientist would do if given the user's data." As for output, you'll now be able to take advantage of a number of richer download options, including the ability to interact with and tailor the reports to your liking. As you might expect, however, that's just scratching the surface -- you can get a detailed look at the new service at the links below, or take it for a spin yourself with a free trial subscription.

Canadian gets PlayStation Vita early thanks to faith, good works

Today's lucky beggar award goes to Graham Innes in Canada, who wrote in to tell us that he found a PlayStation Vita sitting on his doorstep. It wasn't a total surprise, since he'd ordered one from Amazon, but what's weird is just how soon it arrived -- the early-bird First Edition doesn't launch until February 15th and the general release is a whole week after that. We're not sure what Graham did to deserve this, but we do know from our Joystiq buddies that he's not the only one -- Amazon.ca has apparently sent out a few of these premature parcels. If the injustice burns, console yourself with the thought that Graham and his blessed compatriots probably can't access the store to download any games.

Update: Graham emailed again. He has store access. He has games. Joyousness.

The Avoidance Mode Is An Enemy of Success and Achievement

Beware of the things that you have accepted and embraced in your life. It is human nature to avoid pain and to gravitate towards the comfort zone. The knocks against the lid were painful to the fleas, and the subsequent behavior was motivated by a desire to avoid this pain. This is true about most people's behaviors. They are trying to avoid, and not trying to become. Many people are trying to avoid being controversial rather than expressing themselves fully; business people are trying to avoid bankruptcy rather than trying to be successful; many are trying to avoid rejection and disapproval rather than become their truly authentic self; many more are trying to avoid heartbreaks rather than loving fully and unconditionally. Of all people the most to be pitied is the one trying to avoid failure rather than seeking success; and trying to avoid disappointment rather than initiating success.

Production planning is the key between operations and product delivery

One may have an excellent business idea and sufficient funds to execute it. But unless the concept and the infrastructure have the backbone of a good production plan that works on ground to deliver a great product with excellent finish, one which the client keeps coming back for, the business may not reap profits as wished.

The Gospel Is the Revelation of Righteousness

Righteousness is the revelation that brought about reformation and drastic intellectual, socio-economic and scientific change in Europe beginning from the 16th Century when Martin Luther discovered a simple verse in the Bible: "the just shall live by faith." Martin Luther meditated on what Paul meant when he wrote in Romans 1:16-17, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth..
