Two Big Weeks
Thursday, October 30, 2008
The next two weeks are probably the biggest weeks that we would see for a while in this part of the world -
The first week of Nov marks the end of the longest Daylight Savings in American history - finally an extra hour of sleep.
We could see some early snow in this part of the world this time. Winter's started early and its a bit harsh already - all awaiting the Snow.
With the economy in doldrums, the fate of millions could depend on how things unfold in the coming weeks.
And oh yeah, the elections are next week too. The fate of millions would be decided when the next President of the United States is chosen. The campaigning thus far has been one of its kind with both Joe the plumber and JOe the CEO having a role to play ;-).
I'm looking forward to it - the Time Change. How about you ?

The 5K Deal
Wednesday, October 03, 2007
A $5000 bond from the government. Yup, that was what Hillary Clinton has in mind for the future American kids. A proposal that would help parents start an account to use for paying for further education of their kids. Now, approximately four million babies are born each year in the US. So the total amount (roughly) would be four million times five thousand dollars = twenty billion USDs. Wow !! Is this a small amount? And ever wondered where this money would come from? Of course, the tax payers money.
I'm not a supporter of Candidate A or Candidate B but hearing comments and statements like these, which (we all know) are nothing but a vote buying scheme, how could one pay no attention? Why should every citizen (or a non citizen) pay tax which ends up being helpful for a few? Isn't eliminating income taxes for children's education a better Idea? On top of that, why pay for someone who may not end up going to college at all.
Does anyone think this would work? I do not!!
A Week after Clinton's speech, Sen. Barack Obama came up with statements like ... "It’s a tragedy that many Americans have to ride the bus or have to settle for a Toyota. Cars are a sign of hope. My proposal allows for all families to have an American-made car, which will bring hope to millions of Americans that have none."
What?? Did I read that correct? Is it a tragedy that many have to ride the bus? I think they should look at other countries and learn something and try not to mess around with mother nature by promising cars and contributing towards global warming.

Spot the 10 differences
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Just a quick comparison. Can you spot the 10 differences between these two video feeds? Let me give you a heads up. The first one is the actual Apple 1984 video while the second one is a spoof. Watch both, they're interesting in their own respect. I do recommend you put some thought into the second one ...
