If you are still reading, here comes the shell script to do the task.

#!/bin/sh

        TGZFILE=$PWD/`basename $1 | sed 's/rpm/tgz/g'`
else
        TGZFILE=$2

rm -rf $TMPDIR
mkdir -p $TMPDIR

echo "$EXEC: Changing to TMPDIR=$TMPDIR"
cd $TMPDIR

rpm2cpio $RPMFILE |cpio -idmv

echo "$EXEC: Generating zipped tarball TGZFILE=$TGZFILE"
tar -zcvf $TGZFILE *

Sure there are many ways to improve, e.g., include a usage, but it’s working fine for me as it is.

IKEA’s marketing philosophy is making furnitures that are affordable for people to replace at any time they want to. The paces of modern lives are faster than ever and the need for furnitures and household products are also changing at the same speed. A family of two may soon be ready to welcome their baby and most likely would need to redecorate and buy a lot of completely different products.

Having such philosophy in mind, IKEA equips itself with two sharp weapons to penetrate and rule the market. The first weapon is environmental safety. IKEA products do not come with strong smell of paintings – this is generally perceived as no harmful substances are used in those products. This is an extremely important factor that why people consider IKEA as their most trustworthy supplier.

Parents are more than willing to pay more for safety, however, they will definitely not complain if safety is offered at affordable prices. The approach that IKEA takes to their product in terms of making, transporting, and selling are all about how to lower the price as much as possible – which forms their second deadly weapon – competitive prices. IKEA’s products are designed in a way so that they can be easily packed and take the least of space (and hence the cost as well) when shipped from one continent to another. Customers are encouraged to do-it-yourself to reduce cost at the mall, in delivery, as well as for installation. IKEA has also taken great effort in finding and helping suppliers to deliver best quality and lowest cost. As a result of all of above factors, most product on IKEA’s catalog have been continuously dropping prices year over year.

I may not like all of IKEA’s product – especially its mattress which are simply way too soft and hurt my back. But you probably can tell that I’m a fan of IKEA products and I’m very glad that I have this choice in the market when it comes to family health and price for value.

After the break:
My family frequent visits IKEA Shanghai and most of our furnitures at home are bought from IKEA. This afternoon when we were there to shop a desk for reading room, it is quite obvious that this is an unusually crowded day.

Car park is full of cars and people no longer follow the rules:

My boy took a snap in the car so I was at the cafe for refreshment – thanks to my wonderful wife – it’s a new one at ground level nearby the main entrance. I waited for a while to get a clean shot in which I do not have to blur somebody’s face.

Banner “IKEA FOOD” – excuse me for white balance, N79 white balance doesn’t work as expected.

Hey, this is the queues at cashier. Can anybody count how many counter are over there?

Crowd at the children’s department – unfortunately this shot does not give you the exact feeling of how crowded it was.

同样的，微软的Windows Live Messenger在S60上也实在不敢恭维。我喜欢通过Messenger查看联系人的Live Space更新，这在PC版上面就经常会抓取更新失败：明明有星号表示有更新，但是点开来却发现错误信息，说些“我们无法获得”之类的废话。但是好歹大多数时候还算工作。在S60上，点开链接到Live Space，会反复提示我登录，即使我已经登录并且可以查看自己的Space，却不能看别人的。难道这也没有经过测试么？我用的是WiFi连接，有时Messenger报错说找不到WAP服务器，我怀疑微软Messenger移动版估计是连接到WAP的网关，而通过Internet到WAP的通路，以及WAP网关本身并没有经过充分的测试。又是一个跟不上用户需求的例子？

由此可见，好的企业发掘用户领先于用户，他们比用户更早意识到用户需要什么。差得企业则始终是跟在用户后面，甚至背道而驰。
