Akon's Smack That, an object lesson in filth...

Like the slow drip, drip, dripping of that tap you forgot to turn off in the bathroom before going to bed, the opening track, the 'Dirty' of Smack That is only really listenable after carefully inserting your fists into your ears. Don't worry about getting them out again - there's more on this album you'll want to not hear too. How many times does Akon need to tell us all about their miserable fucking life? Senegal (Explicit) just reeks of teenage bedroom poetry and should have stayed there. Ouch. Track four, Smack That (Video) will not only remove the enamel from your teeth, but charge you for its professional dental services afterwards.

In fact, there's no excuse for people buying this and taking it into their homes to tortute their innocent children.

I feel violated from just having to discuss this stuff with you.

Despite 100 Million IE 7 Installs, Microsoft's Browser Still Loses Ground

Well, it's been three months since the launch of Microsoft's IE7 browser and some of you may have heard Microsoft's recent announcement touting 100M installs of IE7.

What Microsoft didn't say in that announcement was that all of those IE7 users were just upgrades from IE6 and that the total IE share actually fell over the last three months.

You can read more about the real impact IE7 (or lack of impact) over at this Information Week article. My favorite bit of that article comes at the end: "Maybe Microsoft's met its match with Firefox. Maybe it just can't compete against open-source and the whole world."

Microsoft has met its match -- and it's each and every one of you!

Narayana Murthy on leadership and values

N R Narayana Murthy, chief mentor, Infosys Technologies, speaking at the Governance Series session on 'Ethics and Values as Corporate Strategy', organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry in New Delhi, January 17.

S
trategy is all about differentiating yourself in the marketplace to maximise your margins. Differentiation could come through products and services. But your stakeholders must feel you are more and more valuable to them, compared to competitors.

Stakeholders would mean society, customers, employees, government, investors; each must say this company is adding more value to me than any other.

What are ethics and values? They transcend the legal framework and as a society evolves, what is in the realm of ethics and values moves into legality. In India, before Sebi in 1990, a lot of good practices were part of ethics and values.

Today, it is all part of legality. Similarly, in the US, a lot of practices were part of ethics and values before the Blue Ribbon Committee report. My friend John Hunstman, in his book, says that successful people never cheat. That good people never cheat.

Ethics and values can be defined as anything that stands the test of golden behaviour. That is the rule, that you must do unto others what you would like to be done unto you. I define ethics and values in a more elaborate manner.

Ethics and values form the protocol for conduct and behaviour in a community for each of its members. So that enhances the confidence, the enthusiasm, the energy, the joy of everyone else in the community. If I conduct myself as per that protocol of behaviour, it enhances the confidence, the enthusiasm, the energy and joy of everyone else in the company.

As I said earlier, if you want to become unique in the marketplace, then you want all to work hard. If you want 67,500 people in Infosys to agree voluntarily to commit to hard work, then they have to trust the leader.

A leader has to have followers to be a leader. That is why I stood by my controversial decision on CEO's salaries being linked to company's earnings. If you want to enhance the trust of employees in the leader, then the leadership of the company has to conduct itself in a manner that enhances trust.

Also, the CEO or the leader must definitely reap benefits proportionate to the benefits derived by the company.

Never before in the history of business community in the world did we have a situation where trust of man and woman in the street is lowest in business leaders. According to a US survey, corporate leaders are least trusted, as many of them violated codes of ethics and even laws.

On the Indian side, if you have analysed how salaries of CEOs have increased in 15 years, they have gone up from Rs 7,000 and Rs 10,000 to Rs 70 lakh (Rs 7 million) on an average. I am one of those who fought for this. When on board of a company, I saw to it that the CEO had a variable linked to output.

Indeed, salaries of the lowest paid persons have not correspondingly gone up. I won't get into a debate whether this is right or wrong.

But after getting the government to agree to limit on salaries, it is incumbent on our part to live up to expectations and conduct ourselves in a manner that enhances trust of all stakeholders, particularly the government and the society.

The fact that we opened borders in 1991 and welcomed MNCs to operate, has had a tremendous positive impact on value delivered to consumers. But if we have to continue to satisfy our customers we have to conduct ourselves in a manner that is worthy for the simple reason that customers today have a plethora of choices.

Islam’s Other Victims: India

Adapted from The Sword of the Prophet: A Politically-Incorrect Guide to Islam by Dr. Serge Trifkovic.

The fundamental leftist and anti-American claim about our ongoing conflict with political Islam is this: whatever has happened or does happen, it’s our fault. We provoked them into it by being dirty Yankee imperialists and by unkindly refusing to allow them to destroy Israel. But two things make crystal clear that this is not so:

1. The political arm of Islam has been waging terroristic holy war on the rest of the world for centuries.

2. It has waged this war against civilizations that have nothing to do with the West, let alone America.

This is why the case of Moslem aggression against India proves so much. Let’s look at the historical record.

India prior to the Moslem invasions was one of the world’s great civilizations. Tenth century Hindustan matched its contemporaries in the East and the West in the realms of philosophy, mathematics, and natural science. Indian mathematicians discovered the number zero (not to mention other things, like algebra, that were later transmitted to a Moslem world which mistaken has received credit for them.) Medieval India, before the Moslem invasion, was a richly imaginative culture, one of the half-dozen most advanced civilizations of all time. Its sculptures were vigorous and sensual, its architecture ornate and spellbinding. And these were indigenous achievements and not, as in the case of many of the more celebrated high-points of Moslem culture, relics of pre-Moslem civilizations that Moslems had overrun.



Indian Flag

"It will be necessary for us Indians -- Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis and all others to whom India is their home -- to recognise a common flag to live and die for."
-- Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi's quote on our Indian flag
THE NATIONAL FLAG OF INDIA is in tricolour ( TIRANGA) of deep saffron (Kesari) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal propotions.

The Indian flag is a horizontal tricolour in equal proportion of deep saffron on the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is two is to three. In the centre of the white band, there is a wheel in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital. This center symbol or the 'CHAKRA', is a Buddhist symbol dating back to 200th century BC.

Its diameter approximates the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes, which intends to show that there is life in movement and death in stagnation. The saffron stands for courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation; the white, for purity and truth; the green for faith and fertility.

The design of the National Flag of India was adopted by India's constituent assembly on 22nd july, 1947. It's use and display are regulated by a code.

The flag symbolizes freedom. The late Prime Minister Pandit Nehru called it a flag not only of freedom for ourselves, but a symbol of freedom for all people.

‘Gandhi fell in love with Tagore’s niece’

Mahatma Gandhi fell passionately in love with the beautiful Saraladevi Chaudhuri, a writer and niece of Rabindranath Tagore, at the age of 50. It threatened his family life and his work, his grandson writes in the recently published biography of the Father of the Nation.

Rajmohan Gandhi writes, “I wanted to capture the real man in my book, so I couldn’t leave out this episode of my grandfather’s life.
According to a report in the Sunday Telegraph here, although Gandhi’s friendship with Saraladevi was known at the time, the full extent of his relationship with the writer three years his junior has not been revealed until now.
Gifted, well-informed and driven, Saraladevi was 29 when Gandhi first saw her, in 1901, conducting an orchestra as it played a song she had written for the Congress party.
But it was not until she was 47, and married to newspaper editor Rambhuj Dutt Chaudhuri, that Gandhi fell for her, while staying at their house in Lahore.
Chaudhuri was in jail for his part in the struggle against the British and soon after he arrived, Gandhi — by now dedicated to personal celibacy — wrote in a letter: “Saraladevi’s company is very endearing... She looks after me very well.
Within months, he was thinking of their relationship in terms of a
spiritual marriage”, says his grandson, who admits he is unsure what his grandfather meant by this.

Cause of origin of pseudo-secularism in modern India, thanks to the famous Congress leader Indira Gandhi, who not only converted her religion, but also changed her last name...I guess its because 'Gandhi' was quite popular at that time
